[quote name='darkwingduck13']It came in yesterday, and it is sweet indeed. I know most of you guys have the newer DS Lite, but if any of you are still rockin' the old-style DS (like me), I think this is a most worthy upgrade. Made a huge difference to me while playing Hotel Dusk...just felt way more comfortable.
Did I mention the dang thing is only $0.72? Seriously, if you're interested, order one or two now before they disappear. It fits perfectly into the stylus slot in my DS, and locks into place just like the original one. When you pull it out to its full length, it stays in place without problems. I'm super-pleased with it. It feels solid, and while it's not as heavy as some of the ones you'll see for PDAs (which I assume are solid metal...this one is hollow inside), it's still heavier than the normal DS stylus. Not heavy enough to make it a negative aspect, mind you...just heavy enough to make it feel durable and more substantial than the little plastic one.
When I extend the stylus, it's long enough for me to hold it in such a way that it gets braced against my hand like a pen or pencil...the old one was way too short for that.
Sorry that this is kinda fragmented...it's early, and I have to get to work soon. Just wanted to post that I got the stylus and it's well worth the price!

It's too bad they don't have one for the DS Lite. I'd pick it up in a heartbeat. Instead, I picked up an import of the Hori extendable Lite stylus which was available at my local Fry's for $5. It works great but I always kind of wonder how the weight of a metal stylus might improve things further.
