Worth the money It's worth the money if you know you play the DS a lot and for a really long time. $5.99 (US) is a steep price to pay for a mere DS accessory, but if you can afford to and you're thinking about buying it because your last session with whatever game left your hand cramped, then it's a really good idea to get this pen.
Only con is that the pen I got doesn't hold on to the stylus as tightly as when it first came in. Sometime during your gaming experience, you might have to take a break and push the stylus back up once in a while, but it's not a big deal. I'm on my 6th month and this $5.99 is definitely well-spent.

Innovative For guys like me that have really big hands, this is a really great and innovative product. It's very comfortable to use and easy to attach to the DS. But mind you that this is not a whole new stylus, it's just a stylus holder. It comes with two retractable stylus that feels a bit flimsy by themselves but fits snugly into the holder once attached. It's much more ergonomic to use compared to the original stylus and now my fingers don't cramp as much after playing for some time. It's a product that I could easily recommend to anyone.

A lot more comfortable The DS stylus by itself is not too bad, but this pen makes gameplay a lot more comfortable for the user. Especially for adult users with big hands like me.
The pin ships with 2 styli, which by themselves are perfect replacements for the DS stylus. While right out of the box the plastic pen shell does seem cheap and hollow, once the stylus is in place and the pen securely closed, it feels just as comfortable as any other pen.
I've had many hours of great gaming with this pen, which is why I find it so easy to recommend.
Great Pen! My hand gets cramped from the tiny DS lite stylus so this was a perfect solution. Just slip one of the included stylus inside and closed it up. Feels great to hold, there's a padded rubber area to confort your fingers. It's short enough to fit into the Hori compact case too.
I love Hori products, they are always great!
Great Service from Play-Asia as well!
Nice to hold It can be attached to DS.Simple,attach the pen in the DS hand strap hole.The pen itself is just a cover for original stylus.So,if your stylus turns bad,just change the stylus without changing the pen :)
Great comfort I've tried touch pens from other manufacturers, I'd say this HORI product is among the best. This pen is designed with the proper width, so that you don't have to hold the pen by squeezing your fingers together (like the ones that come packed with your DS Lite). Also, the added rubber on the pen gives you more comfort, so it's less tiring when you've played games on your DS for long hours. Highly recommended for DS owners~
Good but could have been better. For DS owners with big hands, this item is GOD sent.
My 2 only complain is this hollow pen feels too cheap, I dont mind paying a bit more for a better build material (ie. heavier plastic). And the 2 retractable stylus is flimsy but gets the job done.
Like a real pen The much larger circumference over the stock stylus helps improve player comfort, especially for long play duration. The rubber grip ensures better grip and the stylus can be extended outside of the pen casing. Of course this will compromises player control so what.
It can be attached to the DSL as long it can access the two pin holes near the DS game slot, so it is easy to take around.
Great little item This is much more comfortable than the regular DS stylus. Perfect for puzzle games such as Zoo Keeper when you are playing for a long time. You actually get then pen attachment and 2 regular stylus to fit inside it, and it even clips to the top of your DS, Just suits my Girlfriends Metallic Rose DS. 10/10!

Better than the DS stylus This is much more comfortable than the regular DS stylus. Perfect for puzzle games such as Panel de Pon when you are playing for a long time. You actually get then pen attachment and 2 regular stylus to fit inside it, and it even clips to the top of your DS, 10/10!
Really good to play with! I got mine yesterday, and I want to say that this makes playing far more comfortable. The stylus from the DS lite fits well into this attachment, making it thicker and longer, thereby easier to hold. It can be attached to the top of the DS lite unless you already have something there (like me), for instance a strap.
With this, it's far easier for me to play Ouendan and other games that require good control.

works well, doesn't hurt your hand if you plan on using the stylus a lot on your DS, this is a good pen to use. lightweight, has a small grip for your fingers. the only flaw I see is that the two notches on the clip doesn't really "snap" into the DS as well as it should. otherwise, great for your hand (vs the regular small stylus).
Stock stylus. I love this thing. Totally owe beating JJF on Hard ROCK difficulty to this (Elite Beat Agents). It isn't a fat stylus per se, but a case that goes around a regular stylus. However, it comes with 2 regular sized stylii that can extend o.0. My only gripes are that the top half shakes around a little, and it doesn't have as much weight as I'd have liked.

Best Stylus! This is the best stylus I've ever used! The styli are of the same quality as the ones Nintendo made. The attachment is very well designed and the rubber grip is very comfortable to hold for long hours of play. The stylus is actually the touch pen long ds lite when used without the attachment. The package contains 2 styli and the attachment. If you are considering getting a spare stylus or something more comfortable. I will recommend you get this.
