I had to make make strokes(pushes) to get to make contact with letters on I-phone. It took more time to do emails etc. I bought the stylus to make typing easier. My fingerprints don’t always make clean contact with letters. Staples was very nice about my return.
I use these styli to sign documents on an iPad. Its hard to find one that isn’t too squishy or resistant when writing. This one has stiffness on the tip and glides smoothly so that you really feel like you are writing with a high quality pen. If I had any criticism the pock clip is a bit too stiff and is difficult to bend without breaking off.
I have found it works fairly well with my work scanner. However the tip is actually a little squishy; which means it is not always capable of a specifically directed tap on the screen.
