I've got a Samsung "Galaxy Pocket Neo" which has a minute screen which
is a PITA to write on using the on-screen keyboard. Are there decent
styluses available for them? I tried a combined pen/stylus LiDL had on
offer but it was a chocolate teapot. What's the principle - is it
possible to make one? I've tried various conductive & non-conductive
things but can't get anything to register.

You need a capacitive stylus, they tend to have a rubbery domed tip,
approximating a small finger, anything too small won't register.


If that is the same as, say, the proper size Galaxies, absolutely
agreed. Capacitive. Available at very low prices from the usual sources
such as Amazon. Buy several as they are so easy to lose, leave at the
wrong end of the house/garden/office, have snaffled by partners who
didn't buy their own...

They often come in multipacks..I got ten for a stupid price. Gave SWTNFI
one of them, and annoyed her by making it the bright pink one.

At work we are now giving away pens (with the department logo on) which,
when retracted, have a suitable tip.
