Meko Meko Meko ... Where have you been all my (touch-screen) life?!
These are precisely what you expect from an above-average stylus for your tablet. I'm so tired of shoddy options: rubber nibs tear or degrade, the plastic tip brakes, conductivity is minimal, OR it's difficult to vary "touch" from "press". I have purchased (and returned) two different brands of styluses within the last year, that were supposed to be of higher-than-average quality (and in the same price bracket as the Meko).
After this I had resigned to finger my devices from hereon, but something about that ugly-flattish metallic orange Meko stylus caught my attention. They were Prime purchases, came with a total of 2 pens, and included additional tips/caps. I've been using my favorite orange-stylus for almost two months now and I'm happy to report it is still physically fit -- no replacement tips and no repairs needed! Yes, these stylish styluses show-off the recent trend of "trendy" apple-esque packaging. They come in black, svelte box that I will keep and array of parts, THE STYLUS WORKS WONDERFULLY!!!
Both ends can be used as a stylus for touch screen interfacing. (Let's refer to these as Broad and Fine ends) I have used these pens easily with the Microsoft Surface 3 tablet as well as various (old & new) Apple devices that I own. To use the Fine end, you must first remove the screw-on cap. (but WAIT! Someone on their design team should get a promotion for this: the cap screws ONTO the Broad, opposite end so you won't misplace it while you're using the stylus!) The interchangeable caps are fast, simple and secure.
I would classify the overall precision as >good< (for the Broad end) and >excellent< (for the Fine end). Admittedly, I'm not a graphic artist and thus my classification of this attribute could be way off.. be forewarned! But for the casual user these tips will easily fill the pixels they wish them to travel.
CON - I'll go ahead and describe the only negative item I can come up with: If you affix the caps too snugly on either end, the replaceable tips may Unscrew along with them. Easy to undo and refasten. This CON could just as easily fall under "user-error" as well...
The casing is metal. NOT PLASTIC. But actual metal (or a metal alloy, I didn't chemically examine it). Which means the stylus has some weight and is very solid feeling. It is, however, well balanced. (No one wants their stylus getting top-heavy as they drift off to sleep playing Hearthstone - ever elusive once they slip under the mattress...)
That's it for my review -- I don't leave a ton of feedback, and this may be my first POSITIVE one on Amazon. [I'm beginning to have second thoughts on my choice of color. I keep peeking on the item page for the PINK-metallic colored stylus and I can't get it out of my head, ugh!!)
I'm happy to respond to questions or comments about my review or the Meko stylus pens I own.
Thanks!
