So you've got a Palm, and you consider yourself a decent Graffiti artist, a whiz with the stylus? Not if you're still using the cheap all-plastic stylus that likely came with your Palm. These replacements (a set of three) have slightly heavier metal barrels that are easier to grip and feel more like a real pen in your hand, making tapping and writing dramatically easier and more comfortable. The hidden bonus of a reset pin inside the screw-top of each of these means you never have to carry a paperclip for the occasional soft reset (and the horror of the hard reset) again. It's a stylus you might take for granted until you are forced to go back to the plastic one, as I found when I left one at the office, gave one to my girlfriend, and lost the one I had in my case. Argh! You'll never willingly go back to the all-plastic stylus again. The price is right, so buy one, buy two, buy one for the dog (not really). Don't tap without it!

If you have a Palm, you're going to lose the stylus. If you're like me, you're going to lose one about every four months. So you're going to need replacements. If you haven't lost your original stylus yet, wait--you will. Or, better yet, toss the original stylus in favor of one of the replacement stylii. The cheap metal stylus that comes with the Palm III is hard to use because it is too light. (I have carpal tunnel syndrome and found the original equipment stylus aggravated it because of how hard I ended up gripping the stylus.) These replacement stylii are a heavier metal, which is easier to hold and considerably more accurate. Highly recommended.

My new IIIxe came with a cheap plastic stylus, no reset pin, light, yech! Since A) I tend to lose things and B) I hate the one that comes with it, I figured I'd give these a try. I love them. I can keep one in my desk at work, one at home, and one in my Palm.

These stylus' are much better than the generic plastic one that comes with the Palm IIIxe. These stylus' are much more rugged, and reliable and are built to last. You should definately replace Mr. Default Stylus. The reason being that these new Metal stylus' will improve your grafitti skills 10-fold! Another convenient feature of this stylus is that the top unscrews to reveal a reset tip. (Much better than hunting around for a paper clip to reset your device) Pick up these stylus' if you haven't already, they are really good! Certainly worth replacing the plastic one considering the price. Plus you get 3 of them in case you ever lose one.

... it 's damn cheap.

If you like me, tend to lose your items, it's always nice to know that Palm makes replacement items. And the replacement stylus are as cheap as they come. Wonderfull.

The black molded plastic stylus that came with my Palm IIIxe was lightweight, functional ... and scratched my screen rather quickly, thanks to some excess flashing near the tip. These metal styli don't exhibit that problem. The extra weight also "feels better" in a way I can't describe otherwise. (It's not THAT much heavier, but it does feel more comfortable in your hand.) The best feature, though, is that unscrewing the top gets you to a built-in reset tool. Unfortunately, especially with third-party software, you WILL need to reset your Palm on occasion, and having a handy reset tool saves on batteries.

The original stylus that comes with the Palm IIIxe is a simple lightweight plastic device that you'll want to replace immediately. Simply put, this stylus three-pack is a bargain, and should be the first accessory item you add to a Palm IIIxe purchase. These have a metal barrel that makes it feel like a real writing instrument and not a toy.

Put one in your IIIxe, one in your briefcase or purse, and maybe one in your car, and you'll always be covered. Read the other reviews here and you'll see that most of the owners agree - get this and you won't be sorry.

This stylus is metal with a high quality plastic tip, thus giving it some needed weight and smoothness when compared to Palm's pure plastic "cheapo" stylus. The end unscrews and reveals a pin to reset your Palm in the rare case it crashes. A small purchase that makes a big difference.

I think John said it perfectly. Your Grafiti improves ten-fold when you start using this heavy stylus!

When I first bought my Palm IIIxe, I didn't think that the styli mattered much, but that was before I had to perform a soft reset. I was lookinf around for a paper clip for hours (. . . maybe not) and when I finally found one, I had a hard time getting it in the hole so that it would touch the reset button. That is when I deciden to buy a new stylus. When I bought these, I was amazed at how comfortable and easy to use they were. I still can't belief I didn't get a new stylus from the start. Buy it, and you won't choose wrong!

IT IS THE BEST!!!
