Our Verdict

See how the iPic compares to other styluses : tick off out our in - astuteness iOS stylus chart .

I ’ll give the wide salmagundi of Io stylus on the marketplace one matter : They keep on coming up with new ways to connive me . The latest to traverse my desk is Woodees ’s $ 15iPic Stylus , a quirky guitar - pick - with - rubber - nib loanblend design to aid users in their pursuance to become digital medicine masters .

The stylus looks as much like a guitar pick as a mermaid might look human : From the shank up , the iPic looks and feels like your ordinary 99 - penny plectron , though perhaps a bit more unmanageable to bend . Instead of a point for its end , however , the iPic sports a 6 mm rubber - neb style , similar to that on the Kuel H10 .

Despite being an on - again , off - again guitarist who abhors using any kind of credit card when play , I in reality found the iPic quite well-to-do for practical picking of touchscreen instruments . The stylus does n’t get in the fashion , and the iPic ’s anatomy makes it well-to-do to accept the impression that you ’re playing actual string , rather than kludgily tapping your way through an app .

I find the stylus specially useful in apps , such as Apple ’s GarageBand , where you dally individual strings and worn spot . With the iPic , you do n’t find like you ’re tapping on string ; instead , you ’re strum and picking them .

Outside the realm of euphony apps , on the other hand , the iPic style feel relatively silly . It ’s not a drawing pen , evidently , and while it mold decently for basic seafaring , I would n’t recommend using a guitar pickax for opening apps — at least not over the long condition . That being tell , the iPic strum all the notes it needs to , and I can conceive of medicine - makers everywhere picking up one of these for their kit .

I ’ve made a short video of the iPic , below .
