Classic Cursor Stylus Takes the Tablet Back in Time

For those who miss the decades-old aesthetics of that half-arrow, or link-clicking pointer finger, there’s the Big Big Arrow and Big Big Pointer styluses. They, like most models, have a rubber tip designed to point with accuracy, but glide across the glass for drawing and scrolling. Both are magnetic and can adhere to the screen’s rim, Apple Smartcover, or refrigerator.

Steve Jobs has said of his iPad, “If you need a stylus, you’ve already failed,” but there are some major advantages gained by sacrificing the tactility. Besides keeping your tablet free from Cheeto dust, the accessory makes it easier to use drawing software.

The styluses are the brainchild of Mike Mak, a graduate of Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design. Both models are available for $12.99 each.
