Stylus for the Nexus 7

Hi, I am wondering if somebody can recommend a stylus for the Nexus 7 ? I tried using a stylus for the Nitendo 3DS but as it is resistive && Nexus 7 is capacitive it was a no go. I am currently thinking of ordering the Galaxy Note II S-Pen as it should be compatibile with my S3 and N7. However, are there cheaper…

Hi,

I am wondering if somebody can recommend a stylus for the Nexus 7 ?

I tried using a stylus for the Nitendo 3DS but as it is resistive && Nexus 7 is capacitive it was a no go.

I am currently thinking of ordering the Galaxy Note II S-Pen as it should be compatibile with my S3 and N7.

However, are there cheaper alternatives out there ?

In the meantime I will continue to google.

Thanks!

The Note 2 S-Pen does not work with the N7 so scratch that.

Have a look on amazon, there was ones there for £1 the other day.

My advice is don't bother. I bought a DAGI stylus for a GTab 7.7. A very underwhelming experience if you expect to write words on the screen. You need software that supports palm rejection and most doesn't. This is why the Note II and Note 10.1 are so good. They have proper digitisers built in with hardware type palm rejection.
