The Styra is only OK as a replacement stylus. It’s not as nicely finished as the original T|X stylus — it’s a dull, textured finish instead of the shiny — and it doesn’t have the nice heft of the original. The soft working end isn’t as soft, either. The pen seems fine, and is the only reason to tolerate the thing. If it cost half as much I’d be less negative, but it’s too expensive for what it is.

This stylus is a good replacement for the standard Palm stylus that comes with the device. It snaps in place and stays put in the stylus slot until you need it. It feels as comfortable as the original and the pen is very handy. It has a reset pin which you won’t need since the stylus tip works to reset the device just fine. I have a little trouble at times removing the snap in place cap for the pen. A screw on cap would have been a better alternative and would have given this stylus a 5 Star rating.

Buy this stylus!

I really like this pen-stylus. It is a bit lighter than the original stylus, and the clear pen cover/stylus tip allows me to see just where I’m tapping.

At this price, I can’t think of any reasons NOT to get this pen-stylus.

It’s a very good choice when you need a pencil or reset the Palm and the only thing you have it’s your Palm.

This stylus is not nearly of the quality as the one that comes with the Palm but I do like that it has a built in ballpoint pen for those times when a paperless world isn’t possible.
