Best DS stylus?

[Deltatri3]

Ive got big hands, the ds stylus is just too dam small lol.

Can anybody suggest a decent replacement, that doesnt scratch the screen, is a little bigger, but just as accurate?

cheers for any suggestions!

All stylus can scratch the screen :( it sounds like you need an unusual stylus, like the big mario kart one or the flashing e3 one or maybe one of the extending stylii out there.

Try finding a pac-pix stylus on ebay i have one and its alot easier to hold and use than the regular ones its also much more comfortable. Oh and its got a little pacman on the top which is really cool.

EDIT: You could also try using a cotton bud if its screen protecting ur after, Shigsy recommended this so i tried and its relly gud, u can also fit them in the stylus holder at the back :D.

I seem to recall there was a pac-man one. Was this one bigger than usual?
It seems to me that the defauly styli are too small and even the uber l33t PDA Panche one is the same length as the normal one :/

EDIT: heh, beaten to it :(
Here's a pic I found on ebay http://i10.ebayimg.com/02/i/05/4a/f3/37_1_b.JPG

Makes me feel so lucky but yet so sad because his little black eyes are getting warn away

Whilst this sounds good, the problem I can with this is, what happens when you've been playing for a while and the cotton on the end of the bud starts wearing out? All that's underneath it is a scratchy piece of plastic which will surely cause more damage than a normal stylus?

Just take a cotton bud and play with the tip for a bit. You'll see what I mean - the cotton starts getting loose and you can feel the plastic underneath it. Either that, or it's just that the cotton buds we get over here in the UK aren't as good quality as those available in Japan or elsewhere!

I use the Pacman one and its great! Go hunt ebay for one

Why, what's wrong with good ole Pac man?

Anyway, I found this on ebay, might be what you're looking for

"Feel sick of the insanely short stylus of the NDS but bringing an external one is too bothering? Here comes the solution.

This stylus adopts a expandible design and it's about 10cm long when expanded, approximately a 33% increase from the original stylus which is about 7.5cm!! Mostly importantly, it can be stored in the NDS console!"

Wow, that thing looks neat. I too have big hands, but the official stlus doesnt seem to bother me unless im playing for hours, which then cramps my hand. I should realy get a better one, but only when im annoyed at the official one.

I find the original stylus just fine. Althoguh I would like a nice extendable one.

[Bassman]

I bought a 9 cartridge case from GAME which has a slot for the standard stylus and also comes with a bigger stylus. I find this one is much better to hold than the standard one.

[Josh64]

I might find a pacman one, because although i dont mind the smaller one it hurts my fingers after a while and i sometimes just drop it on accident, which aint too bad in nintendogs or something like that, but when ur on wario ware and drop it its a pain! I dont know why but it does just kinda slip out my hand because its so thin. It would be good if Pac man stylus was available in the shops though, cause I dont like buying off ebay :(

[Kurtle Squad]

I don't get the deal with people saying it's too small. You must hold it wrong or have mega big hands or something.

Why not use a breadstick. They're long and edible.

Hooray for breadsticks! Just don't get crumbs on the screen while eating it.

[Hero of Time]

LoL in Nintendo Official Magazine there was a complete page for alternative stylusses, including a dead bird. XD Anyway, is there a site where I can order the Pacman stylus or the cotton bud stylus?

I used that one but it scrathed the screen up terribly. I went back to the original after that.

Hero of Time: For a cotton bud stylus why not try Boots ;)

@ Darv: posted too fast for my brain. :heh:

I like this one. It doesn't change much, except for the top and the cord.

[Nintenchris]
