Do you want a stylus for your touch screen device, but don"t want to have to carry around an extra pen in your pocket? If so, this 5.5" Twist Ink Pen/Stylus from Monoprice is just what you need! The pen/stylus has an ink pen in one end and a soft, slick, rubber tip at the other end. The rubber tip is designed to provide the electrical conductivity necessary to activate a capacitive touch screen in the same way as that of a human finger. It is slick, so that it will glide smoothly across the screen, providing precise control of icons and apps, without leaving finger marks or smudges. The ink in the pen is black. It uses a standard Cross-style ballpoint ink refill, so you won"t have to throw this pen/stylus away once the ink runs out. You can also swap to blue or red ink, if that is your preference. The stylus includes a standard pocket clip, ensuring that it will remained securely in a pocket or pen loop.
