So, it seems like the iPad stylus getting all the attention and adoration is the Pogo Sketch Stylus. Having just spent a week using it, I can honestly say it’s a piece of crap. The tip is overly soft and flops back and forth while you write. It also requires that you press entirely too hard before the iPad senses it. I now take all my meeting notes on my iPad, and the Pogo Sketch was too thin which, combined with the amount of pressure required, makes longer note-taking sessions actually a bit painful.
So, at my co-worker’s suggestion, I ordered the BoxWave stylus. It’s a thousand times better. The tip is more firm and rounded, so it doesn’t move while using it. It feels more like a real pen, instead of a bad paintbrush. I suppose it costs a few bucks more, but it’s worth it. Going from the Pogo Sketch to the BoxWave was like going from a Toyota Yaris to an Audi R8.
Actually, that’s insulting to the Toyota…
Nothing really wrong with the quality and functionality but way to short for a large handed person. Remember leaving all of your freshly sharpened number 2 pencils at home on test day and having to scrounge around for a pencil at school and only finding a short stub? Well now you know how I felt when this thing arrived and I tried to use it. It is way to short for my big hand, otherwise it is fine for your kindergardener.
I was debating between the less expensive pogo sketch and this Boxwave stylus. I made the right choice. A co-worker of mine purchased the pogo sketch and we tested both pens on our notebook applications on the iPad. The Boxwave pen was easily registered by multiple different notebook programs on the iPad at a normal writing angle. The pogo sketch required an odd (almost perpendicular) angle to be picked up consistently. It is more expensive (at least when I purchased) but the Boxwave stylus is my clear choice since it is the more practical stylus for anyone who wants to use the stylus to write on the iPad on a regular basis.
Coming from a Tablet PC background I was hoping that a stylus combined with the iPad would give me an experience similar to digital ink on a Tablet PC. While the stylus is well made and works fine, I find that the output is like using a thicker tipped felt pen on paper. I tend to write with an extra fine point pen and found the output on the iPad less than desirable. I don’t believe this had anything to do with the stylus which seems fine but rather the limitations of digital ink on the iPad. I’ve pretty much given up on a digital ink solution on the iPad and instead focused on becoming better at using it’s on-screen keyboard.
I used the pogo stylus for two months before I lost it. Looking at the reviews on Amazon, I decided to check out the boxwave. Paired with penultimate, the best sketchbook and note taking app on the iPad, I no longer use pen and paper. It’s that good. The tip on boxwave is far more responsive and the body of the pen feels substantial. Apple should adopt this as an official accessory for the iPad.
