Wonderful! Glad USK have realised just how professional your symposium videos are...I really missed them last year!

Have you ever reviewed or heard of a stylus that was for capacitive screens (my device has no digitizer) but was still able to be precise using electrical capacity (maybe AES), able to sense pressure, and possibly have some Bluetooth features? I am pretty sure a capacitive stylus with palm resistance does not exist, but I am hoping to find these other features in a capacitive-compatible stylus! Thank you for any leads you may have!
