Best pen stylus for X30?

netwiz · 03-04-05, 05:41 AM

I want a stylus for my x30 that contains a pen. I have tried the PDair one, but it's too bendy. I've got a '3 in one' stylus, but it's lightweight, and also the cap has a tendency to crack, and then fall off, making it hard to remove the stylus from its slot.

I don't mind paying a premium for something that is good quality, and has some weight in the hand.

Any suggestions?

I use an Avery triple click I picked up at CompUSA, it is a ballpoint, pencil and stylus. Its the same size as a regular pen so may not meet your need, i bought it after trying to find a decent stylus sized one.

Cross Matrix pen....$30 at Costco....stylus and roller ball and one part and two ball points at the other....good weight and confortable to write with.

Thanks for the suggestions. To clarify, I am looking for a stylus that will fit the slot - I'm not looking to carry a pen round with me - I could do that anyway.

I'm also in the UK, so something that is available here, or I could buy on the web would also be welcome.

i've got a belkin "4-in-one" i picked up at officemax. has a black pen, red pen, mechanical pencil, and a stylus, and it weights like a 'normal' pen. i like the 'gravity' feature it has (there are 4 drawings on the pen, one for each option, and just holding that picture up more than the others, selects which one comes out)

that fits in the x30's stylus silo?? impressive.

nope, but are there that many stylus's that fit in there that have a pen?

and if you dont have a restricted case like the PDair aluminum, it does somewhat. the clip part will fit inside of the silo, and is pretty secure. and if i have my pda in my case, it clips on the side or back good too

Here's a link to one I am thinking about getting. It is a Boxwave and has a pen on one end and fits into the stylus slot of the X30:

Yeah I got those in a pack of 3. All 3 caps split within a short period of time, so the cap falls off when the stylus is in the bay, and you have to bang the machine to get the stylus out.

Later edit - my comment refers to littledebbies post about the boxwave stylus.
