In this video, I show you three different Japanese DS Styli.
The Hori Touch Pen Attachment set is available at Play-Asia.com for $6:
White - Pink - Black (back ordered)

Interesting.

I enjoy some Hori extendables I had for the original DS, but now that I've upgraded to a Lite I don't use them.

The finger stylus would be great for Pokemon.

The Hori attachment thing is very cool, and I'm actually quite tempted to order for only $9 shipped.

Thanks for the vid, Cheapy. If I ever find the finger stylus I'll probably splurge and pick it up for Pokemon. And I might be forced to order the Hori attachment soon.

And FYI for other potential buyers, the Hori attachment comes in white, pink and black to match your DS (although black, my color of choice, is backordered right now).

Finally, a new Youtube vid from Cheapy! And of course, it was great as usual .

Nice video Cheapy.

I've been using those plastic extendable styli by Hori. I like it quite a bit.. that is until it cracked on the extendo end (as opposed to the pointy end as is the case with Cheapy's.) Now it feels really loose and occasionally breaks apart while in use. :/

Thanks for the review. But one question, couldn't you just grow your index fingernail and that would essentially be the finger styli. Great video quality too, however the shine on your head made it look like someone chewed part of it off. The hori w/pen attachment does look like a slick buy, I might look into it as well. Thanks again for the reviews.

..am I the only one who had a sudden urge to order six and pretend that I'm Wolverine?

Nice Video Cheapy, Thanks for going out and showing us all of these. Keep the videos coming all of yours are very good.

Personally though I'm sticking w/ my Pokemon Stylus, very big and awkward, but comfy and essentially free.

Cool vid! That Hori pen attachment thing is pretty awesome.

I remember seeing pictures of the Hori Touch Pen Attachment before it came out, I thought it looked promising, but now that I've seen it in action I'm definitely picking one up.

Right now I'm using the Castlevania stylus that came with PoR, which I believe is the same as the extendable stylus that Hori makes. I'd be pissed if it cracked.

What a shiny head.......

What were you talking about again?

Would the second stylus you reviewed with the metal extension fit in the pen, instead of the one with the plastic extension it comes with? If so, I'd buy both and just swap it out.

Nintendo also sells an official set of the big, beefy, pen-type stylus(es) here in the US. They work really well, have a rubber grip, click to uncover or hide the tip, and i think they run about $5.99 for a set of two. I love them. My wife bought some swoot LED light up stylus... its a piece of crap that washes out the colors on the screen and feels really light and cheap. Denied. Thanks for the heads up.

Just tried it...it fits perfectly.

I grabbed the Hori Touch Pen Attachment a couple weeks ago and I like it a lot. The only major problem I had with it was that whenever I was playing Elite Beat Agents, the top and bottom half would come apart as it didn't snap firmly into place. Got pretty frustrated with that but I said it and glued everything together and now it's working better than ever. I kindof wish that it came as one whole piece rather than three seperate pieces.

Cool video. I don't like the first one you showed, the whole put it on your finger thing. But the other ones seem cool enough.

Hey, with those first stylusses (is that a word?), the ones you put on your finger.....You reminded me of Freddy Kruger

Thanks for the rundown. I'll need to look for an equivalent to that click-pen stylus here. Now, when you say "three different styluses," wouldn't it be "three different styli?"

I see it's already been mentioned, but the Hori extending stylii for DS lite crack like nobody's business. They're cheap at Blockbuster Video though and they feel AWESOME. They're made with the original materials used in the standard Nintendo-made DS lite stylus too. Perfect for Elite Beat Agents. I also have their extending stylii for the old DS but these are garbage. When they are this thin, they bend too easily. With no structure, there is no point in extending them.

Its Superrrrrrrrrrrr!

I'm just going to randomly endorse the death jr. stylus...not that I've used it extensively. Just on the fact that aesthetically it looks badass (it's a scythe!)

pictures later.
