You have not heard of the XStylus yet? Don’t worry, it has been a product in development just trying to make the move into production.
On first glance the XStylus is an ordinary stylus, but you can flip one half of it and lock it into the other part to extend the stylus in length and diameter (demonstrated in the above video).
That way you get more grip as its shape becomes more similar to a pen.
As said before, GreenBulb (the company behind this product) wants to mass-produce the stylus, but needs your help as it’s expensive to just start the production (creating the moulds for example).
If you happen to have some spare money or own a Nintendo DS and are unhappy with its stylus, support the project on Kickstarter.com:
Kickstarter Project page
If you spend 20 dollars or more you will get a pair of XStyly for your Nintendo DS if the project is fully funded.
Being an engineer myself I can say that it’s the dream of many engineers to have that one simple, yet ingenious idea and to have it made into an actual product.
So please help to make it happen, for Elton and for the joy of engineers out there. (End of advertisement)

Q&A
1. What happens to the raised money if the project is not fully funded?
* You will get your money back when the project is not fully funded. Your credit card will only be charged when the full 10k are raised (that is the whole principle behind Kickstarter).
2. Is there going to be styluses for other devices?
* Yes If the first batch of NDS Lite pens are funded, we would very much like to help Open Pandora Team with the Pandora stylus too.
