I know I have an old Palm Zire around here someplace that would have a nice stylus. For now, though, it's the old index finger.

I haven't done much editing but I programmed about 50 combis and did it all with my finger, only sometimes I have to press again but I haven't much trouble touching the right spot.

I have several stylus' from old smart phones floating around. I use one from one of those. It's even magnetic, so one of these days I'm going to make a little caddy for it. But for quick edits, I still use my finger.

I presume you mean one with a rubber end??

Surely using the point of a pencil or pen your risking damaging the screen membrane if you slipped..

That's what she said! Shocked

But seriously, I find my finger works great on the Kronos touchscreen, and finger accuracy has only gotten better with practice and use. But having a slightly long index finger nail definitely helps. I can tap my nail on the screen with great accuracy and speed...and its very responsive.

I use a 6mm crochet hook. Not the crochet end though. The handle end is nicely rounded and makes a perfect stylus.

I do OK with the fingernail technique. But I'd like to see all menu behavior changed so that menu items are activated on finger-up instead of finger-down. Too easy to hit the wrong item.
