I actually like this stylus, however...
I purchased it hoping it would be a good match for my DS Lite. And, while it works fine with the system, be aware of a couple things.

1. This stylus, when fully extended is only 3/4 inch larger than the standard DS Lite stylus. So, it's not much bigger.

2. It doesn't fit correctly into the stylus holder. It will fit, sure, but it's too skinny, so it will not lock in place and will fall out.

Otherwise it's a nice stylus, it feels sturdy enough, but it's just a little thin.

I love my new little stylus! The way it retracts is very clever, so my hand doesn't cramp while I'm playing anymore. It is also a neat chrome color, different from my original stylus. All in all, an excellent replacement for my long lost friend.

There aren't many accessories out there for the Phat DS, and this is definitely an improvement of the original stylus.

This is a pretty good replacement stylus.
A few things you should know:
-While there are two styli in the product picture, you are only paying for one stylus.
-This stylus is for the original DS, NOT the DSLite.
-I'll repeat: this is not a stylus for the DSLite! (I didn't think it was, but there's another review on here that
complains about the way the stylus fits)
-The stylus isn't really THAT much longer than the original. However, if you have big hands like mine, every little
bit helps and I've found this stylus to be more comfortable than the original.

Overall, I'm glad I bought this. It's a well-made, quality product.
Oh, and the shipping was really fast, so that's a positive too.

The item I received after ordering this doesn't match the picture... it's too large to fit into my DS phat properly, and the so the head doesn't click down. In addition, I can't even figure out how to make it extend... again, the one I received looks different from the picture at the top of the screen.

I've contacted the seller about doing a refund, but don't waste your time on this even though the price is low.

I always lost my ds stylus, therefore I search around on Amazon to find something cheap. I found it was good and same as the original stylus. Would purchase a few more as a backup.

I have been searching all over for stylus for my Phat DS. This is way better than I thought it would. I may buy a few more as backup. I lost the stylus that came with my DS and this one might one day join it so I think another one is in order.

The good.
1. Its metal
2. It extends
3. Fits like a glove in the Phat DS.
4. Seems to be built well.
5. I bought for a penny. The price might have gone up when you read this.

The bad.
There is nothing bad about it.

I was giving a 1st gen DS when my little brother upgraded. He had one stylus left and I found it to be very small and hard for me to use. If you're a grown person playing the DS you need to consider this as it is a much better fit for my hand.

I believe this stylus is for either a DSi or DSXL. It is not made to fit inside the DS lite.
You can purchase these styluses from target for about $10 and you'll receive at least 2 for what you pay for. I paid about $6.50 and I received only one stylus that has been removed from it's original packaging from this company. I am very displeased with my purchase. As a side note, there is no receipt/packing list included so I assume I will have a difficult time when I try and return this item.

I'd recommend buying a different stylus from another seller.

its a strange situation when a product working properly is interesting or somewhat out of the ordinary, but with these DS OEM styluses you can never be too sure. All I can say for this product is that it fits perfectly into my original NDS, the quality is excellent, and it works exactly as a stylus should. Maybe I got lucky, but this thing worked fine for me.
