Build Your Own Stylus


The stylus they give you with your 3000 rmb touchscreen PDA is ergonomically challenged. It is too small to use as a handwriting or notetaking tool unless you want serious cramp. Fortunately, this can be easily fixed by putting your stylus inside a full sized ballpoint pen. Be sure to replace the inside of your pen with your stylus. I used bluetack to hold the stylus in place. The mouth at the tip needs to be wide enough for the tip of the stylus to point through. 5 RMB multi colour ballpoint pens are ideal for this hack. You may want to get a 3O RMB replacement stylus for soft resets as the nib of the hacked stylus is too small for this daily task. Handwriting recognition is still a little slow and awkward, but it is 100 percent better than before. It’s a shame this hacking prowess did not extend to updating my cellphone 0S by flashing the ROM. That failed project bricked my handset and was only fixed after handing over 100 RMB to PDA Dream. Some you win and some you brick!
