Seems a bit clunky, and what I really need is a fine tip stylus to draw
on my Samnsung Galaxy S3.

I have a cheap stylus but the end is broad and spongy - good for tapping
virtual keys but not for drawing fine lines or for writing freehand.

So what is a firm conductive material which can hold a point but not
scratch glass?

Cheers

You might not wish to spend out anything for a stylus, but you can buy
"sharp" stylus refills such as this:

Unfortunately that is for pressure sensitive not capacitive.
The 3 multi-pens linked through to all have blob ends.

Sorry - my mistake. Yes - I too have an ultra-cheap blob-ended one and
know what you mean. (Actually, I have three identical.)
