Comfort Stylus wraps it up

From the weird-but-potentially-cool files comes this new third party stylus. Ho hum, says you. It's a stylus, who cares? But check this out -- it wraps around your finger. Crazy. Comfort Stylus has been around for a while, but they've just released a new gamer stylus that's mean to make those DS games with sprawling control schemes a little bit easier. Those spunky fellows at IGN were all a-flutter over this new entry in the stylus pantheon, so we had to check it out. The possibilities seem vast, but we can't help but be curious about how it feels. But hey, it comes in various colors, so maybe a flexi-stylus is what we need after all. Perhaps for the gamer who has everything?

I'm a Comfort Stylus owner.
Pros: Feels pretty nice, makes playing MPH3 and Star Fox Command easier.
Cons: Doesn't fit in the stylus slot in the DS Lite, feels a little fragile although I have yet had one break on me.

I agree with ElderV, the comfort stylus is necessary if I want to play Metroid Prime Hunters or ... (shamefully) Goldeneye. It makes using the touchscreen much easier. I also found that the DS strap didn't quite do the job either. There are other alternatives that use rings/thimbles but lik-sang doesn't have them so they are harder to get.

I own a comfort stylus. It really makes MPH easier by making the touch screen feel like the second analog stick. It's cheap too.

Heh, i got one of these back when they were giving them away for free in a drawing. I see they're not doing that anymore :) Best free item for my ds ever. I recommend buying one, it's worth it for FPS's alone.
