This stylus writes just fine, but the cons outweighed the pros for me. Downsides of it are that its short and more importantly, I couldnt see what I was writing. The nub, all though was the perfect amount of firmness for my writing style, was so fat and wide that I literally could not see what I was writing. I wouldnt suggest this stylus pen, all though it actually wrote fine. If you like Boxwave products, I would suggest the Boxwave Slimline stylus pen over this one.
