The one in the ebay article looks like a Pogo.

This youtube review compares the Pogo and the Dagi. Dagi wins. (On an iPad using Sketchbook Pro.)

To those who have had success with the Dagi stylii -- are you using a screen protector, or is your screen naked?

I wound up getting three Dagi stylii - P005, P501, and P101 -- and while they work, I wouldn't say they work reliably enough for me to continue to try using them. Based on the success others have said with these, I can only attribute my experience to the screen protectors on my devices... and I'm not willing to remove them.
[Nook Color Accessories] Str0ntium:
I just received mine (P005) and it works great. This is what a stylus should be. Anywho, my screens are naked.
[Nook Color Accessories] nootered:
Apparently it is important to ensure that you are not getting the original POGO, at least that was my impression after reading some reviews.

The newer style, called the "Design Pogo Sketch", is supposed to be significantly better with capacitive touchscreens. And it is a smaller tip.

I just ordered one off of eBay last night, it should be here early next week, so I will come back with an update and a video showing it's skills in Sketchbook.
[Nook Color Accessories] Kohr-Ah:
Sweet :D look forward to seeing how it works

HTC branded Dagi

I just order the HTC branded Dagi. I got my Griffin in today and it's not good at all for what I want (drawing/writing). I don't even have a screen protector on!

I'll post a reply with how well it works when it comes in.
[Nook Color Accessories] eggman618:
Can you guys just hike the sensitivity of the screen? I know you can recalibrate...is this the same? Please ignore me if I'm totally off, I'm a noob haha
[Nook Color Accessories] t140568:
I use mine WITH a screen protector and have had absolutely no issues. In fact, when I posted those screenshots with TouchTest, I had the B&N Anti-glare screen protector on my NC. There is a slight learning curve when it comes to holding the Dagi the right way. Maybe adjust the way you hold the stylus?
[Nook Color Accessories] Fishfoot:
Just ordered the Dagi p501 from their site. 23$. I use a screen protector. I'll let you all know how it is when it gets here... in 20 days :/
[Nook Color Accessories] ERamseth:
I bought and subsequently returned a targus ipod/ipad/capacitative screen stylus. It was suitable for tapping buttons, but not for sketching, doodling, writing, etc.
[Nook Color Accessories] gedster314:
You will have it by the end of the week. I ordered mine last Saturday and the mail man tried delivering on Friday. I was not home and they required a signature. Hopefully will get it Monday.
[Nook Color Accessories] nootered:
I just received my Ten1 Pogo Sketch. Cosmetically, it is gorgeous, and very sturdy. It has a very nice and soft tip that glides nicely on the screen, and will not scratch it. The build of the stylus is very nice thin, easy to grip and use overall.

Now, for the downside of it all. It doesn't really work. But it is not the stylus, I am afraid it is more a MAL-function of the screen of the NC. I am basing this assumption on the fact that I have test it with my iPhone4 and iPad, and it works like a charm! It is perfect for Sketchbook Mobile, like drawing with a pencil really.

Any ideas on how we can adjust the sensitivity of the screen? Or is this simply a matter of quality and accuracy of this particular screen?

http://nookdevs.com/Recalibrate_the_NookColor_touch_screen

"If the calibration isn't yet good enough ... do the echo command with the screen facing down. This makes it SUPER sensitive."

could you try this Nootered? see if that works, i ordered a stylus myself and am eager to test it out :)
[Nook Color Accessories] nootered:
I will try that tonight and report back. Thanks for the link.
[Nook Color Accessories] nootered:
Bad news, I tried all of the "tricks" mentioned on this page, but none of them made any great deal of difference. In fact, they made it worse. It's as if I have to "long press" to open anything now.

I am going to recalibrate it again face up. Oh well, it was worth a shot. I am somewhat disappointed though, I really didn't think that there would be such a difference in performance compared to my iPhone4 or iPad.
[Nook Color Accessories] Novarider:
Just ordered a Dagi 501 from ebay but its from them directly. I will report back when I test it out
[Nook Color Accessories] tunwear:
Just got the Dagi P601. Takes a bit to get used to holding the correct way, but it works fine. I'm using an anti-glare protector. You can lines from the pen at an angle, but it wipes off easily.

edit: After playing with it some more, it's kind of annoying. Sometimes works sometimes doesn't. Would return it if I could. Oddly it works much better on my Nexus One.
[Nook Color Accessories] bobzdar:
The p005 works well for me. The p101 and p501 don't. My screen is really dirty so I'm going to clean it and see if the other two are any better.
[Nook Color Accessories] gedster314:
Dagi p501 works well for me but the free 101 bites.
[Nook Color Accessories] Novarider:
Same exact results here. P501 is nice 101 sucks
[Nook Color Accessories] faceman66:
I picked up a three pack of the ones that looked like the ebay link a few pages back, simple stylus with a rounded soft rubber like tip.

Very nice for touch and tap, but TERRRIBLE for anything that requires dragging or strokes. The rubber just sticks to the glass and doesn't move.

So far, I would steer away from anything with a real soft tip. The Dagi p501 looks like it works most often, but is also a fragile looking option. (How sturdy is that funky tip?)

I am not looking for high class drawing ability, but note taking would be nice. Mainly though it's a fingertip replacement so I don't have to clean smudges as often. :)
[Nook Color Accessories] Novarider:
It actually feels quite sturdy. Its about the same hardness as your fingernail.
[Nook Color Accessories] Farnk:
Just got my dagi styli. The larger p501 works ok, but definitely not consistent enough to draw or write in sketchbook express. The smaller one which is unlabeled doesn't work at all.

When testing the p501 in touch test, it looks pretty good, but it looses contact frequently, which makes most drawing programs unusable.
[Nook Color Accessories] Kohr-Ah:
Mine I tried one of the targus ipad ones. Works fantastic on the phone (g2) but on nook I can draw no problem but the lines aren't straight. It doesn't have breaks in the line but they aren't smooth. I am going to try to recalibrate.
[Nook Color Accessories] artokosan:
Dagi P501, $21.95, shipped from Rhode Island

I found this a few nights ago - http://www.iusestyli.com/products/index.php

It's a barebones site, but USPS says my P501 is on its way. I ordered Monday evening, and it went in the mail yesterday.

As the title says, it's only $21.95, 1st class USPS shipping included. I'm looking forward to trying it out.
[Nook Color Accessories] anthonylavado:
I returned my Targus one because I got fed up with having to press harder than normal to register a touch on the screen. I figured it was easier to use my finger instead. Good to hear it's working for you though - let us know how it turns out after the calibration.
[Nook Color Accessories] Kohr-Ah:
Still trying different calibration ideas as suggested in nook devs. So far it is smooth if i do fast movements. But that is too hard to sketch as i am used to slower sketching with a pencil.

Ill keep updating with progress
[Nook Color Accessories] bobzdar:
I've played around some more and the p005 is definitely the best of the three I have, followed by the 501 and lastly the 101 which doesn't really work at all. The stylus works really well in genial writing, sketchbook, and AndCad. Genial writing is very promising, but it seems tailored to using your finger so for it to work well you have to write larger than I'd prefer.

If you are into cad at all, definitely check out andcad, it's awesome with the stylus, better than a computer and mouse once you get snap working. If they get 3d going, I could see using it heavily.

I'm not using a screen protector so that could be why i'm having good results and I noticed that the 501 worked better if the screen was cleaned where the 005 doesn't seem to matter.
[Nook Color Accessories] gsc1134:
I picked up the griffin GC16040 off amazon for 8 bucks or so...

On the iphone4, amazing - works perfect in adobe ideas and uyc handwriting apps - very clear.

on the nook it is a no go, "skippy" contact between stylus and screen. finger works about 3x better in all apps.

so odd that the nook does this...

(running hc4 on emmc) - tried a plethora of different sketching apps.
[Nook Color Accessories] Sabre22:
I just bought the Dagi stylus P501 from ebay, hopefully will arrive in about a week. Will report back when i get it.

Happy Nookie :D
[Nook Color Accessories] Novarider:
I have a Dagi p501 and a 101 I want to sell if anyone is interested send me a pm. I'm not looking to make any money just want to get back what I paid for them. They work fine I just don't use them
[Nook Color Accessories] succulent:
Hey,

Here's my video test of the Griffin stylus on the Nook Color. Same results as everyone here. I don't recommend the stylus. This stylus was the best reviewed stylus on the iPad, even better than the Dagi. I don't like Dagi because its tip. So far no good stylus on the Nook Color. Capacitive screen just plain sucks with stylus IMO.

[Nook Color Accessories] ngrenn35:
thanks thats great to know i was about to buy that one.
[Nook Color Accessories] cj1896:
I wouldn't think that a stylus would work too well. The capacitive screen on the NC seems to be a little to inaccurate for it.
[Nook Color Accessories] Farnk:
I installed CM7 on my nook color and now my dagi 501 works great which was a pleasant surprise to me!
[Nook Color Accessories] :
I just ordered the BoxWave stylus pen combo from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OXPA3M). It seems to have pretty good reviews.
[Nook Color Accessories] TweetyBear:
i was thinking about getting either that or just the regular stylus from boxwave. tell me how that one goes and it'll help me decide :D
[Nook Color Accessories] DatterBoy:
I don't recommend spending any money on a stylus for the Nook Color. I'm going to be the Amazng Randi here and be a skeptic. I don't think the Nook Color screen takes to stylus use well. have not seen a single testimonial that is convincing for the Nook Color with a stylus suitable for painting/drawing. Tapping and basic navigation, maybe, but I can use my finger for that. It's the precision work I wanted it for.
[Nook Color Accessories] succulent:
Look at my video test of the Griffin. Boxwave, Targus, and Griffin uses the same tip.

I will test CM7 to see if the screen responsiveness have improved.

Edit, testing on CM7

Well, CM7 Gingerbread v3 built feels laggy. I noticed the responsiveness of the screen is the same as stock v1.1 with the Griffin stylus. It's almost impossible to write a decent word let alone draw anything decent looking. It's a really bad $15 investment on my part.
[Nook Color Accessories] bobzdar:
Depends - the Dagi definitely does work for writing and drawing but you can't do small, highly detailed drawings or small text. The lines are too wavy if you try that, I think it has to do with how tight of a sensor grid the screen on the NC has.

It works for my purposes, I can take notes and do simple drawings which is what I was after.
[Nook Color Accessories] lyam23:
Has anyone ever tried making their own capacitive stylus as described in this link?

blog.makezine.com/archive/2010/05/collins-lab-diy-ipad-stylus.html
[Nook Color Accessories] Wile-E-Coyote:
Add this to the list of stylus that don't work on the Nook:

Acase 2nd Generation Apple iPad / iPhone / iPod Capacitive Stylus (Jet Black) Newest Model

Terrible skipping and poor tracking. Ordered the Dagi P005B and will report back.
[Nook Color Accessories] snives:
Has anyone tried increasing the sensitivity of the screen? There is an ADB command on NookDevs to recalibrate, and they say if you turn it screen down before doing so it will make it super sensitive. If your main uses are as a stylus controlled device that might help out.
[Nook Color Accessories] minaa:
snives, I just tried that and no luck with my Pogo Sketch. My screen is calibrated now at a "super sensitive" level and the pogo sketch stylus I received today just doesn't work. It's okay for selecting things, but I don't really see the point in having if it I can't sketch with it.

At least I now finally have ADB things installed :). i'm going to return it Monday and look into other options. It seems the dagi is the way to go.
[Nook Color Accessories] Wile-E-Coyote:
Just got my Dagi P005B - very happy with it as it works pretty well for taking quick notes.
[Nook Color Accessories] kbjhon:
Would it help in saying that the wrapper from my Nature Valley bar worked...?
[Nook Color Accessories] swoozle:
Cool. I know what I'm doing this weekend.
[Nook Color Accessories] swoozle:
I tried using some of the foam as this method shows, and it's not quite there. If the foam has a relatively large contact area, like fingertip size, it can work. But it's quite sensitive to how well that surface is pressed against the screen and so pretty much impractical. I do have a screen protector on, that may make a difference.

I also tried the same foam shapes on my ipod touch and it worked great. As others have said, the nook screen is less forgiving of styli. Maybe the sensor grid is coarser than others?
[Nook Color Accessories] DatterBoy:
Can you post a test video? Would love to see it. I've had nothing but bad luck with trying different versions on the NC.
[Nook Color Accessories] liquoredonlife:
I was playing with the Graffiti app and using it in GTalk. It makes your tablet look like a gigantic Palm. I can use my finger but I'm certain I'd be much faster with a stylus. I used to be able to write at 30-35WPM using graffiti back on my IIIxe.
[Nook Color Accessories] vernontan:
Hi, it seems that the screen on the NC isn't really built for taking handwritten notes, which is a shame because a tablet that size is almost perfect for note taking.

Or it could be due to lack of good apps.

One of the best note taking apps for the Windows Mobile platform was apMemo, almost like pen to paper. Apparently, there is an Android version out now. Just wondering whether anyone has tried that?
[Nook Color Accessories] lyam23:
apMemo works great with my finger. I'm also interested in the how stylus works with this app.
[Nook Color Accessories] liquoredonlife:
I tried making my own stylus out of a strip cut from an anti static bag, retractable ball point pen and scotch tape from a video on youtube. It sort of worked but it's kind of hard to write while not getting your hand in contact with the screen as well.
[Nook Color Accessories] time pilot aka:
Bought this stylus last week, it arrived today:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HBK4T0

DON'T BUY IT...it's terrible. Going to give it to my dad who's got an iPad and see if it works any better for him.

I wish there was a way to combine the powers of a resistive touchscreen and a capacitive. Using your fingers is great most times, but other times I want to draw with precision. Even with a not-terrible stylus, I can't imagine it'd be easy to do with these huge tip capacitive styli.
[Nook Color Accessories] celticchrys:
I also bought this same stylus, and you must press pretty hard, and it skips a lot. It's slightly better on the HTC Desire and iPhone screens, but still not as usable as I'd hoped.
[Nook Color Accessories] bobzdar:
About the same as your finger, except you can write slightly smaller. So far, genial writing is the best note taking app i've tried. Once you get the timer set to go to the next line, you can write as fast or faster than a notebook and you never have to change pages. No provision for adding drawings is the main downfall. The big problem really lies with the nook as it doesn't seem to have a tight sensor grid, so fine drawing and writing isn't possible. It works for straight notes and basic drawings, though.

I suppose if you need really detailed drawings, you can go into andcad, the stylus works well there. Unless somebody figures out if the screen can be made more sensitive, I think its not quite there for note taking and drawing except for simple, quick stuff, or in the case of genial writing if you just need to write out a ton of text only.
[Nook Color Accessories] Animec:
So, to summarise, for great success: Dagi 005B or possibly the 501, preferably on CM7, probably without screen protector, super-sensitive screen irrelevant?

Can screen sensitivity be better adjusted via kernel changes?

Can you recommend any apps for PDF-annotation? :)
[Nook Color Accessories] celticchrys:
I've placed an order with Dagi, and am impatiently waiting for it to arrive. I'll post a review when it gets here.
[Nook Color Accessories] britoso:
I've seen many get the Dagi P501 or the P5B...

Which one is better for tracing the outline of images and simple writing?

I've always wanted to do that on a tablet rather than my mouse. (in gimp/photoshop)
[Nook Color Accessories] gsc1134:
My personal favorite is definitely multi-memo. 2 finger scrolling makes all the difference. I really hope adobe ideas from the ios family makes an appearance on android soon, its so great.

Can't seem to figure out genials "workflow"...
[Nook Color Accessories] bigbodysmallbrain:
i use a pogo sketch and it works great
[Nook Color Accessories] dsf3g:
FWIW, I bought the following from Amazon. A pair of screen protectors with a free stylus included:

http://www.amazon.com/Anti-Glare-Sc...4KF8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1302011311&sr=8-4

The stylus barely works. OK if you want it for tapping or flipping pages in the reader app, but not suitable for drawing, sadly.

(P.S. the anti-glare screen protectors are great, BTW, though it's nearly impossible to put a screen protector on a screen this large and not get a bubble or two due to trapped microscopic grains of dirt.)
[Nook Color Accessories] jay0911:
Also looking into purchasing the Dagi. I cant wait till someone posts a review on it.
[Nook Color Accessories] nobble:
just get the big pencil stylus at thinkgeek it looks amazing.
[Nook Color Accessories] jay0911:
does look pretty good but im interested in knowing how well it works on the nook color's screen
[Nook Color Accessories] d.v:
I'm just interested in getting a stylus to select items from web pages. My fingers are apparently too big to hit the right item in a list. From what I've read, just about any of the styli that have been discussed here will work for that. Am I correct in that assumption?
[Nook Color Accessories] succulent:
If that's all you use the stylus for, then any stylus will do. Styluses have problem drawing curves and continuous lines on the NC screen.

I hope when B&N release 2.2, they updated the kernel and libaries. Hopefully it will solve the stylus problem on the Nook Color. I've seen video of stylus on the Galazy Tab and it worked perfectly. It's either the old kernel or the the screen used that's causing problems for the NC.
[Nook Color Accessories] dsf3g:
Avoid the super-cheap two for $3.50 eBay styluses. But even the "freebie" stylus I mentioned in an above post would work for what you want.
[Nook Color Accessories] d.v:
I usually avoid the lowest and highest priced accessories for anything I buy. Now, if I could only get one of the freebies without having to buy the other stylus. ;-) If I pay postage to a US address, would someone be willing to send me one they don't want? If so, PM me.
[Nook Color Accessories] jawoo2006:
I actually got the Dagi p501 and it works like a dream. I would have to say there is a slight learning curve for it. The red dot is off ever so slightly from where it actually clicks. Overall if you can get it below $20, it's definitely worth the money!
[Nook Color Accessories] :
Any chance you could post a video? I'd love to take engineering notes w/the NC :D
[Nook Color Accessories] bobzdar:
Can't promise you anything but I'll try to find some time.
[Nook Color Accessories] wetzelman1:
just ordered the Dagi P501 today from the bay. I'll let you know what I think when it gets here.

So, got the Dagi last night and started trying it out with sketchbook, not really able to draw straight lines, and would register a multitouch sometimes, not really sure if it's going to be useable or not, will check back in a couple of days.
[Nook Color Accessories] Drachen808:
I would really like to know if this suffices for note taking. I will not use it for art. Or maybe I would!! I am sure that the deficiencies of using these styli on the NC would actually IMPROVE my artistic ability...

LOL

No really, though, I would like to know if this would be good enough to replace a notebook for notes in grad school? Does anyone have any input?
[Nook Color Accessories] bobzdar:
Depends on the type of notes, if it's just handwriting then I can say yes it will work fine for that with the right program (Genial works really well for me). Handwriting mixed with drawings I haven't found a single program that will work well. Genial allows you to write in larger letters (which I've found is necessary due to the reduced sensitivity of the NC screen) and then puts the words onto a piece of paper so you can continually write. However, there's no provisions for drawing, and any programs you can draw in you wouldn't be able to write small enough (legibly) for it to work for note taking.

You could swap between two (or 3) programs, doing the writing in Genial and drawing in sketchbook or AndCad, but I don't think that's ideal as you'd have to put something in your notes to say to go look at a drawing and it would become more difficult than just writing in a notebook and digitizing later. JMO.
[Nook Color Accessories] dexx0008:
bobzdar,

can you try handrite with the p501 and let me know how that works? handrite is free
[Nook Color Accessories] gagan512:
how does the nook handle palm rejection when using a capacitive stylus?

doesnt your palm resting on the screen trigger touch responses?
[Nook Color Accessories] gurs2323:
Yeah your palm or finger on the screen while you write\draw is definitely a problem. I too have a Dagi 501,very pleased with it got it of eBay for about 20$. Still looking for a notetaking app genial writting is nice but I still haven't figured it out yet(as far as everyday note taking goes). Maybe it is due to the fact that I have free version I dunno? Also I'm no artist but the canvas app from the notion ink seems pretty nice.
[Nook Color Accessories] wetzelman1:
I really don't see the nook being capable of replacing a pen and paper for notetaking or drawing regardless of the stylus. It's really the hadware just isn't good enough, not enough sensitivity in the screen and the the information can't compute fast enough to keep up and will always lag. I was hoping the dagi p501 would at least give me some straight lines to jot down some idea's on but it's defenitely more difficult than just grabbing a pen and paper.
[Nook Color Accessories] TrekMedic:
I don't think iPad's there yet either honestly...writing always looks worse when done on anything electronic. Either way, I looked around and found two I've only seen used on the iPad but are supposed to be compatible with other touch devices. I know Wacom was mentioned earlier but:

http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Stylus...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1304364471&sr=1-1

There's also one called the Alupen that gets good reviews. Another one I saw mentioned in a blog:

http://www.etsy.com/listing/66258833/stylus-socks-pro

Fugly. Though someone somewhere said they work well. Never tried one myself.
