Product Description
Superbly designed using a light-weight aluminum alloy and detailed graphics, the Pogo Sketch features a look that's hard to ignore. The soft tip glides easily over the surface of your trackpad or display, making it fun and easy to sketch, draw characters, or just slide to unlock. Sized for comfort, it does away with inaccuracies common to fingertip-only use.Turn your MacBook trackpad into a pen tablet for premium drawing programs! The new multi-touch trackpads allow the Pogo Sketch to control your favorite drawing programs (like, say Scribbles). Wear gloves in the winter? We do. With an iPhone, the stylus allows you to answer calls and surf the web all while keeping your hands toasty. Longer nails can be a problem with touchscreen devices. Using your Pogo Sketch, you'll soon find that problem is history! Lastly, the cool, glossy Pogo Sketch pocket clip will keep your stylus close by, wherever you are.

“ In order for this stylus to even register on the screen of my device I had to push down as hard as possible so that the foam tip was almost completely compressed. ”

I was skeptical before ordering this. My main goal was to find a stylus with enough precision to use with a painting app for the iPhone called "Brushes". If you happen to be looking for the same, look no further.
The problem with most stylus-like devices for capacitive touch devices such as the iPhone is that the minimum diameter required to register a "touch" is actually quite large. I suspect this was done to lessen the frequency of accidental touches. So, the trick here is to find a stylus that meets the minimum diameter requirements while still delivering the precision needed.
This is where the Pogo Sketch really shines. The barrel of the device is incredibly slim but still comfortable in the hand. The length is also perfect-- just barely longer than the length of an iPhone, it's sure to fit wherever your iphone is stored. The contact point of the device is a small fuzzy head. I'm not sure what the material is but it's slightly squishy. The great part is that the head is small enough that it doesn't obscure the view of what you're touching.
In practice:
Wow. Absolutely smooth. In use, the Pogo Sketch glides across the glass of an iPhone. There is just the tiniest bit of drag, but it feels very natural. Next, pressure: This is very important. Little pressure is needed to register a touch on the device. The original Pogo Stylus really lacked in this area, you have to press quite hard which can be uncomfortable for long periods of use.
Conclusion:
If you're looking for a stylus for any of the painting/drawing apps for the IPhone/iPod Touch, this is really top notch. If you're looking for a stylus for day-to-day use of your iPhone/iPod Touch, IMHO, you should really just use the best natural stylus available- your index finger.... Read more ›

Yes, it's a bit spendy for what you get, but what you get is a tool that makes your iPod Touch experience significantly more comfortable -- and precise.
Typing: Let's face it -- thumbs were not meant for precision work, like typing on a tiny little QWERTY keyboard. If you know your way around a standard keyboard, you'll double your speed and accuracy with this device. Yes, you have to use a bit more pressure than a finger to get the same results, but it's negligible, and that's a sacrifice I'm more than willing to make for increased accuracy and speed.
Internet: If you need to click inside a tiny little box to enter a user name or password, it's quick and precise with this little tool. (I still "pinch" to increase and decrease screen size, and use my fingers or thumb to perform other functions that don't require a lot of precision.) Clicking on links or articles within web pages is much easier with this tool than a finger.
Games: Some of the games I like to play require a lot of clicking, or clicking and dragging (Bejeweled, BrainThaw, Chicktionary, TapTap Revenge) and the stylus works much better for these than a finger -- and causes less muscle cramping and fatigue. The stylus length is about 1/2 inch longer than the iPod device, which makes it more comfortable to use than the shorter Pogo stylus (or the short stylus devices that come with Nintendo DS). A full size pen would be even better.
Overall, this little device does exactly what I had hoped for: it makes my iPod Touch experience easier and more comfortable. (Oh yeah -- it's also a very classy looking tool, and ultra lightweight.)

I have the older version of this stylus and I finally got fed up when I lost it for the millionth time so I ordered this one and I couldn't be happier!
This stylus' earlier version worked but it was short and had no real way to keep it near by without putting it in your pocket, the clip it came with was made to fit an iphone as opposed to an ipod touch.
This one how ever features a pen clip and a hole at the very top to string a lanyard to, which i have done.
I absolutely love this stylus and i would recommend it to anyone.

I bought this stylus for one reason only - to Paint digital sketches on the iPhone with the Brushes app. Even though the stylus increased the ability to control the strokes, the tip is still too wide to do true detail. The need for the iPhone to have a "finger-like" touch rather than a true Wacom style pen proves this combo is lacking.
I use a Wacom Intuos3 and Wacom Cintiq21UX, and I have been spoiled with the precision. If you need to touch the screen in the cold, while wearing gloves, this stylus is for you.
If you want accuracy and control while sketching; Yes, it is much better than a finger, but not the final word.

I bought this stylus on a recommendation of a good friend of mine who draws constantly on his iPad. When I did, I was immediately put off, it just didn't seem to work. I had to push too hard, I had to try several times because the accuracy was all terrible, so I went and bought the Targus stylus, which FRIGGIN' RULES. Then, the screen protector on my iPad got forgged up, and I had to remove it. Suddenly, like Jackie Joyner-Kersee wearing lead boots, my Targus just stopped working. It was sticking to the glass, and just refusing to cooperate. Desperate for a note-taking stylus, I scoured my junk drawer for the Pogo Sketch stylus that my friend had made me plunk down good money for... and what the hell do you know?!??! IT WAS AWESOME! Without the protector getting in the way, the Pogo just FLOWS like a fine Cross Pen over the surface of my iPad, I can take notes, draw with precision... just like all the chicken scratch I can make with a real pen or pencil.
SO: Yes it rules, but not in tandem with a screen protector. If you're gonna use the protector, get the Targus stylus. If not, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THE POGO!!!
(PS: My friend says: 'If you are gonna use the Pogo alot, make sure you keep your screen clean of oil from your nasty dirty fingers. Them piddys got gunk on em that clog up the pogo's mesh tip and make it work less efficiently over time. You have done been warned.)

Small in size
I like the stylus overall, it writes well and seems well made. the one issue I do have is that it feels small to me; I was hoping for something that felt like a regular pen.

not bad contact, but wears out in a few months
The tip is still a little too wide for my galaxy SIII but it is the narrowest I found in the market. My next step is to upgrade to Galaxy Note II to use the built-in stylus. Read more
