2021 FULL Stylus Review for Artists - Top 4 Tests to check if your stylus is good for Digital Art
1,289Brand Spankin' New guide to the top Stylus for Digital Art in 2021, this is years in the making. 4 important tests - Jitter (line quality) - Pressure control - Tilt control and Pressure dampening tests. Pen balance (weight displacement) is it magnetic, is it heavy? The circle test demonstrates if the stylus is good for handwriting and note taking. I'll post here when the pressure dampening is removed on the R520BT and basic models. (currently present) This was one of the hardest videos to make for me. If you learned anything please give it a thumbs up and sub. That means a huge deal to me and I appreciate it. Test is done on a Surface Pro 7+. All stylus are Ntrig // MPP 2.0 stylus
*CORRECTION - It is not a Dell stylus - The "Dell" stylus is the stylus that comes with the HP Spectre x360 11th gen intel model from Best Buy. Sorry for the error
Software used in this video, links below - Tablet Pro Artist Pad, Rebelle 4 digital art software, and the Pen Tool.
COLOR DOESN"T MATTER - this is just so we can tell the stylus apart easier, so order whatever color of stylus you prefer. Also nib type doesn't seem to make a difference in line jitter, just the sound and slide or traction of the stylus on the screen.
