The Comfort Stylus Rocks Your DS
Lately, I've been playing the hell out of my little pink DS Lite. Ouendan!, Final Fantasy III, Hotel Dusk, Phoenix Wright; all games that more or less require a lot of tap tapping with the stylus. One of my only complaints about the DS in general is that the stylus is too small and after a while of playing, my hand start to cramp up. Recently, Mikey gave me an extendable styli that actually really helped with the hand cramping. But, because of heavy hands and a lot of use, the extension has started to crack. What is a DS player to do?
Enter the Comfort Stylus. This product has been on the market for a while now, but I only recently discovered it through my co-worker Clint. The stylus is made of black rubber with a plastic tip and wire inside which allows you to wrap it around your finger. Suddenly, your finger is the stylus! Some people prefer to use it on the thumb, but realistically you could use it on any finger. I use mine on my index finger with the point extended slightly out from the fingertip and it's an absolute dream.
It's well made and the wire is nice and stiff. It's easy to bend, but also holds it's shape perfectly. Another benefit is that by just using your finger, the small screen isn't covered up by your hand which is extremely helpful in the case of something like Ouendan!, where quickly determining were the next move happens is essential. It definitely takes a little getting used to, but once you do you'll wonder why you haven't had one all along.The only real drawback I have encountered is that the stylus does not fit into the provided slot on the DS, but if you carry your DS in a case, it shouldn't really be an issue.
The Comfort Stylus is well worth the $5.99 price tag (plus 1.50 for shipping) and comes in four colors: red, blue, white and pink. You can find out more product details and purchase one for yourself on the Comfort Stylus website.
