Stylus loss is a common problem for many in the mobile industry – while I have been mostly unaffected so far(lost none but the original stylus of my rx4240), other members of the TamsPPC team can sing a song about that dreaded phenomenon. Using rather expensive 3-in-1 styli as replacement is a very bad idea under such circumstances – can Brando’s 3$ a pop styli stack up?

Brando’s 3-pack ships in their classic envelopes – no need to mention anything here. The styli themselves are packed up in a simple blister:

The styluses are milled out of black plastic in a single piece – this is great, as there are no end caps that can stay stuck in the silo or fall off after some use:

The styluses fit into the rx4240 well, the tip can be used to reset the handheld:

In the end, the Digital Express Styli feel a bit worse than quality 3-in-1’s, but are significantly cheaper and still usable. People looking for a cheap stylus will be very happy with the Digital Express ones – Brando’s price of 9$ for 3 is unbeatable. Additionally, the monolithic nature of the stylus(no pen that can leak, caps that go off,…) can go a far way for people who have ever experienced 3-in.-1 stylus fall-apart horror…
