Over on his Artworks blog Crabfu has this excellent how-to video on making a touch screen capable stylus from a clutch pencil and conductive foam. This is one of the best ideas I’ve seen, using a readily available item in the clutch pencil. My thoughts in using it with your mouth are that if you [...] Related posts: DIY Touchscreen Stylus using Conductive foam One problem with Stylus for Capacitive Touch Screens Soft Sock Stylus for Touch screens [more]lifekludger: Conductive Touch Capable Mouthstick from a Japanese “Liver” (Reader)
A couple weeks ago I received a tweet from @yukitake99 that he found Lifekludger blog helpful and he was going to try make a mouthstick for iPhone. Seems he’d been looking at some of the stuff I’d been sharing about the “Touch Barrier” and ways to work around it. It’s always a buzz to make [...] Related posts: DIY Touchscreen Stylus using Conductive foam Clutch Pencil adapted as Touch Screen Stylus Bare Conductive Ink [more]lifekludger: Camera Mouse

Came across an interesting, potentially useful tip on a extension for the Chrome web browser called “Keyboard Navigation“, on the excellent blog makeuseof.com. From the blog: The extension defines a hot key (,) which places a hint next to every link on the page that can be clicked. While the hint is displayed, key in [...] Related posts: Colour-coded Keyboard & Mouse ThinkPad keyboard with TrackPoint Adesso compact wireless keyboard [more]lifekludger: DIY Touchscreen Stylus using Conductive foam
Finally, a Stylus kludge that actually looks workable as it can be made different lengths and is cheap and easy. Now, I just need to get hold of some of that conductive foam so I can get someone to make me up a mouthstick version. If anyone has some foam you can post to me, [...] Related posts: Clutch Pencil adapted as Touch Screen Stylus One problem with Stylus for Capacitive Touch Screens Conductive Touch Capable Mouthstick from a Japanese “Liver” (Reader) [more]lifekludger: Dagi Transparent Stylus for Capacitive Touch Screens
Isn’t it interesting how we are seeing more and more uses where there’s a need for a stylus on these capacitive touch screens? Just when everyone thinks Steve Jobs has liberated them to the freedom of the finger, it seems we aren’t so free after all and that maybe other forms of pointing can be [...] Related posts: One problem with Stylus for Capacitive Touch Screens Soft Sock Stylus for Touch screens Magnets the TouchBarrier solution for capacitive screens?

Over on Instructables is how to make a stylus out of anti-static socks for use on capacitive type touch screen devices – ala iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad etc. The stylus was the creation of dsLabs.

Looking at this post re HTC and stylus patents, I'm going to start looking at a kludge for my mouthsticks using magnets. HTC has a solution ready for the market.
