If you’re ready to move on from the stylus you were born with (a.k.a. your finger) to one with a bit more precision then consider the Musemee Notier stylus. Made of brushed aluminum, this stylus is available in metal grey, silver or red.

Like the Adonit Jot, which went from Kickstarter project to retail, the Musemee Notier includes a clear flat disc at its tip. The disc surrounds a pointy rubber tip about the size of a typical ballpoint pen.

I tested the stylus with a variety of apps including Paper, Noteshelf, and Notability. The stylus performed as well as any other stylus I’ve used in all three applications.

I’d categorize the Musemee Notier (rather unscientifically) as a mid-weight stylus, meaning I’ve used styli that weigh more (XStylus Touch) and less (Boxwave).

When you’re done using the stylus, simply unscrew the top, invert it, and the stylus is capped and ready to be tossed in a backpack, purse, or briefcase.

Purchase the Musemee Notier from the company website, Amazon, or eBay for $15.99. Replacement tips retail for $5.99.

What I liked: The cap and the replaceable tips set the Musemee Notier apart from many other styli on the market. I particularly appreciate that the cap is built in, so I can’t lose it. The pointy tip felt more like writing with a real pen, and I think it improved the clarity of my handwriting on the iPad. I didn’t experience the slight drag I usually notice with the foam stylus, and I preferred the disc-style tip.

What I didn’t like: Nothing!

To buy or not to buy: Styli preferences differ among individuals, but any iPad user who prefers the disc-style tip to the foam tip will be pleased with the Musemee Notier. It’s also a great value for the price.

    These are very similar to the Dagi Stylus (also from Taiwan).

    I just received my notifier today. Before the tip broke off I was able to use the Notier on Art and Noteshelf. Compared to Adonit Jot Pro, the Notier’s performance was dismal. It did not glide smoothly and contact was hit or miss, most often miss. I was very disappointed as I thought that Adonit had serious competition. I hope that the pen I received was a fluke.
