I'm curious if there are other folks like me here - I have a peculiar hate of touch-screen pens/pencils. They're too thick at the tip.

When I write on (real) paper, I try to use the thinnest pen that I can still grip. I think I hold the pen at an odd enough angle that if the pen is fat enough before tapering, it starts covering the point where the tip touches the paper. Once that happens, I feel like I'm writing while holding one end of a yardstick. The alternative is to start angling the pen so I can still see the tip, but that makes writing awkward - I rather just type at that point.



Yeah, I like very thin tip stylus (physical or digital). reM v1 stylus with new nib is like a fine point, which is ok. Could try shaving a nib and getting to extra fine. Once nib is in use it becomes medium point fairly quickly- tho the width of the line it produces on the screen is determined by software, not the actual nib size.
