Topic: HOT TIP

I don't know about you guys but I find the touch screen just a little on the inaccurate side. Yes I have calibrated it several times. Maybe I just have large fingers. I don't know.
Anyway I was reaching for a pen from my pen cup when I spotted an old stylus from my old Palm III.
I have been using it ever since to interact with my chumby and I find the experience much more satisfying.
So there is my HOP TIP.
Try a stylus to interact with your chumby.

OK OK I know what they are thinking. WE are trying to get away from using a stylus. Oh well If the shoe fits...

So far I like it very much. I received mine for Christmas.
Lucky guy aint I?

A Chumby in hand is worth 20 in the Wherehouse.

Re: HOT TIP

yaesumofo, you may find these touchscreen tips from bunnie helpful. Otherwise, I hope the stylus will do!

PS-You removed the protective plastic covering, right?

Re: HOT TIP

I don't have a stylus, but using a retractable ball point pen with a plastic end (and the pen retracted) works pretty well, even with the tiny keyboard in the chat.

Re: HOT TIP

I have left-over styli going way back to my old Pilot 5000.

I need to dig up a custom one that grafted the plastic tip onto a radio antenna, making an 2 foot long extendable stylus.
