Best Stylus For Zaurus,
« on: July 27, 2004, 08:08:18 am »
The Best Stylus for C860 (and all C7X0 I would assume) is the Tungsten-T Stylus with a Once around thin sheet of clear packing tape (making it like 1 mm thicker). Then use a file or sandpaper and file off about 1/4 inch off the plastic handle. (You can cut this off, but will most likly show the unsightly metal rod tip in the center).

The Tape make the stylus thicker and is invisible unless you are looking for it....it has the effect of making the stylus require a "slight" tug to release it....no more lost Tungsten-T stylus.  

The file down make it so that you don't inadvertantly extend the stulus to its full length (it teloscopes) and possibley losing it.. Filing it even with edge of Zaurii will work perfect becuase all you need to do is Press it and "bingo" the top springs out about 3/4 inch making it easy yo grab and pull out.

This is really newbie stuff, but the tungsten-T stylus is a really nice 99% metal unit and needs no mods for 5500/5600 (although I still would use a sprig of tape for thickness.

The plastic ultra-cheap C860 stylus is the biggest joke I have ever seen. But new users, fear not...the best of the stylus world awaits your making. And with a pack of three you got room to perfect your style (less  )
