WITH WORD OF CAUTION: The method in which the precision stylus with clear disk is attached to the "barrel" is a cylinder of durable rubber. One purpose of this configuration is to allow the user to hold the stylus at various angles, just like one does with regular writing pens, and still allow the writing disk to maintain perfect contact with the device's screen. The stylus was everything advertised in terms of smoothness, sighting that allows for thin lines and the precision of a ballpoint ink pen. Except... the problem for me, and possibly others, is that my screen is not very sensitive. I'm not sure of the significance of "capacitive" but if it means a screen's ability to sense touch, then my screen is quite insensitive. Therefore, I had to apply additional pressure for the screen to register the stylus' contact. The extra pressure caused the rubber cylinder between the disk and pen barrel to buckle. Whether this "buckling"would ever occur with newer screens and more sensitive screens, I personally doubt it. But, if you currently own an older tablet (like I do) and find that you must apply extra pressure, the same "failure" may occur for you. In my search for a precision stylus (I want one for writing) at lower prices, I did see one that had a tapered spring instead of a rubber connector. But, it may buckle or crimp in some fashion under the burden of extra pressure due to screen insensitivity. I did learn that a 2mm tip works perfectly well if you are looking for a stylus for handwriting. Don't let the disk confuse you. This stylus is capable of smooth handwriting. Another indicator that tells me that my screen insensitivity is more of the issue than the design of the stylus is how I had trouble getting the larger tip to register on my screen as well. So, odds are you may never have the disk tip "buckle" from too much pressure.
