Show HN: Turn your pen into a touchscreen stylus

I can only imagine how pissed someone would be when they accidentally touch their phone or tablet with the wrong end of the Sharpie. Would rather put it on an actual pen than a permanent marker. Seems way too easy to make that mistake, since the ends even look fairly alike.<p>By the by, Sharpies are pens? Is it like one of those "all squares are rectangles" things?

Show HN should be where you show your cool personal projects and stuff like that, not a place where you advertise your company/product.

This is really nice, but it would be even better if you made a non Sharpie version. I would get it if it worked with a normal pen because I never use a Sharpie.

Although this is a neat idea (I converted a sharpie to a stylus last year, replacing the pen tip itself) and you've made a pretty beautiful website, the product inferior to the latest stylus usability improvements on the market.<p>Last week my Hand Stylus (<a href="http://handstylus.com/" rel="nofollow">http://handstylus.com/</a>) arrived. Unlike other styluses (stylii?) on the market, the tip is on a swivel mount, meaning you never experience the "flop" or roll of the nib as you change direction. After using this, I would never consider a fixed nib stylus again.

I just saw a video review of this here - <a href="http://thetechblock.com/morereal-stylus-cap-for-the-ipad" rel="nofollow">http://thetechblock.com/morereal-stylus-cap-for-the-ipad</a>

The price point is way out of line. $25 ???
