Advantages: Strong, Good Variety, Ideal Size

Disadvantages: Easily Lost, Harder To Buy Offline

The Nintendo DS Stylus is a very simple product, but is one that you may need to buy as they can be quite easily lost. Once it's lost, the stylus is really hard to find. I have previously dropped mine on an aircraft down the side of a seat and never found it - it must have rolled to the back of the cabin. It's hard not to lose them as they are so small and can easily be dropped like a small pen.

You will get a stylus with your Nintendo DS. The new Nintendo DS Lite has a slightly longer and thicker stylus for more efficient use. It comes in a corresponding colour to your Nintendo DS. However, if you lose them all, there is a handy place to head to when you want a new one: Amazon.co.uk. This site offers a large range of different styluses of all colours.

The styluses you buy are usually plastic and you can get them in different colours. They have a unique end, which is used to tap the touch screen on your Nintendo DS. You can't really use your fingers, as the touch screen isn't sensitive to skin, so it's necessary to have a stylus. Here are a few offers on Amazon.co.uk:

4 Pack (Blue, Pink, Black, White) - £1.75
3 Pack Nintendo DS Lite (Black) - £4.99
3 Pack Lightsabre Stylus (Green, Blue, Red) - £6.99

There are a quite a few more on sale including other variations of the Nintendo DS Star Wars stylus such as ones that light up. The market for such a simple item is quite astonishing when you go and search on somewhere like Amazon.co.uk. Be aware that you will want the stylus to fit in the hole on the side of your Nintendo DS, so don't buy a Nintendo DS Lite pack when you have the original Nintendo DS as they will be too big to fit!

Overall, the Nintendo DS Stylus is a simple and necessary item to play your Nintendo DS. They are not likely to snap, but are easily dropped and lost, so you may have to buy new packs. The best place to buy them is online as you get a much better choice than in shops such as Game.
