Fine point stylus?

[jimed43]

I have a bamboo stylus but the tip is fat and the notes all look bold. Any ideas for writing ?

The search function works really well on this site - it would quickly have led you to http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-7-tablet-accessories/195112-stylii-thread.html and http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-7-tablet-accessories/197704-stylus-n7.html, both of which threads offer plenty of different perspectives on different stylii for various purposes.

Edit - finer point stylii will let you be more accurate with point placement; setting for a finer line may require changing settings in the program you're using.

I haven't seen many fine point styluses, even in the threads quoted above. The Bamboo one is smallish, but nothing like a point. I know resistive touch screens use fine points, like the Nintendo devices. Capacitive ones need to conduct electricity and maybe that requires more surface area?

If you have anything metal with a tip rounded well enough (and just large enough) to not scratch the glass it should work. Conductive rubber on the end would be even better.

I take it by the lack of responses that indeed no fine point stylus exists? I wonder if a paper clip would work?

The connection / stylus has to cover a certain amount of screen space to register a touch, so I'm not sure if you will find something as "fine" as you'd like. And as for the paper clip ... just the paper clip? No.
