Crossing your T's and dotting your I's: they out a-donit!
DISCLAIMER: my review is based on the darker colored stylus, and so this rating isn't a critique of the color. Figuring curiosity about the technology probably outweighs the color, I thought it would be helpful nonetheless....
This stylus let's you use your iPad for handwriting like you would a pen and paper. The precision is excellent but the writing isn't jagged and there are no line breaks, even with my Moshi Crystal Clear iVisor screen proteor.
In this review I will include comparisons the Jot Pro by Adonit, the other stylus I've found allows you to do that. So far this stylus writes better than the Jot Pro. Here are the details:
I'll break the mold and start with the bad:
- the body is not magnetic (something I really like about the Jot Pro), and
- it doesn't quite have the heavy weighted feel of the adonit pen; slightly more hollow and less expensive feeling (also, less expensive :-)).
The good:
- A nice looking stylus.
- Tip is protected by screw tight "cap" so there's no chance of it being damaged when not in use.
- The cap screws onto the back of the pend when in use, so it's never lost.
- A clever *twist* is that the "cap" forms a significant part of the stylus body so you won't forget to attach it or lose it.
The brilliant:
- Comes with a replacement disk for the tip, whereas adonit requires you to buy extras direct from them at something like $8/pair with like $7 s & h.
- The most smooth, elegant stylus I've written with.
While the Jot Pro has a higher quality look and feel to it, the quality of writing of the Musumee is superior to the Jot Pro. That, plus the extra writing disk put the Musumee at the top of my list, where it should stay unless the writing quality degrades rapidly.
