With the barrage of stylus options on the market and new ones cropping up every day, it can sometimes feel like wading through a sea of similarity when choosing the right tool for your needs. The Jot by Adonit is the most recent capacitative touch stylus to enter the fray, but with one incredibly important difference: the inclusion of a patented "precision disk."
This clear plastic disk sits on a ballpoint tip, giving touchscreen users the feeling of writing with a classic rollerball pen. Where the precision disk lacks in elegance of form it makes up in performance—reviews across the board mention that the Jot is the most precise stylus on the market.
The Jot comes in rainbow-colored aluminum options with the Jot+ including a rubber grip upgrade and magnetic cling to attach to your tablet without a bulky pen clip. The screw cap protects the precision disk when not in use and screws safely on top of the stylus while you're "writing." And by all accounts, it does feel like you're writing. The Jot was recently recognized as a finalist in the 2012 iF Product Design awards. See it in action with photographer Erin Kornfeld and menswear designer Ren Jett after the jump!
