Scott Wilson, the designer behind the TikTok and LunaTik watch bands for the iPod nano, is back with a new Alloy Touch Pen that works on both paper and touchscreen.

The Lunatik Alloy Touch Pen is manufactured from premium materials and features an aircraft grade aluminum barrel, a die cast clip that is hard coated with PVD plating, high grade silicone rubber grip as well as our patent-pending dual mode tip that allows you to seamlessly use the LunaTik Pen with any touch screen. Our custom engineered materials are designed to meet our demanding specifications for touch screen responsiveness and flow. And on paper, the Touch Pen uses precision Japanese rollerball components for a fluid inking experience.

The Lunatik Alloy Touch Pen is seeking funding from Kickstarter and has already received $50,000 in funding. It's goal is $75,000 with 58 days to go. A $30 pledge will get you the LunaTik Alloy Touch Pen with silver anodized aluminum body and graphite metal clip. US shipping included. Add $20 for international shipping.

You can learn more about the pen in the video below...

Hey,I understand the funniness the people at plai has shown for their next version (1.1) .I had ordered for the old version. But I (Aman) is no way affiliated with Plai.It was just that I found Estylo best for capacitative screens and Jot pro as second best. However,if you really want to do precision sketching,then better buy one of the upcomming several Windows 8 based 10.2 to 11.6 inch tablet PCs. Speaking reality:Estylo and Jot only are good for painting but for preise work,better to go for Wacom penabled stylusses and the best pixel based software I suggest for windows will be the Corel Photo Paint and secondly Adone Photoshop.

i find it funny that the people at plai (aman) have the time to trool the internet promoting their product, and yet they have no time to answer simple consumer questions like "when is the Estylo 1.1 going to be available for purchace" i emailed them like 4 months ago and no message back, yet everytime i look for a new stylus for my i pad i find a post from aman or some other plai employee talking up the estylo. So what if this product is not as pricise as the estylo, at least this company isnt trooling the web promoting a product that as far as i am concerned, does not exist. seriously aman if you want to advertise your product then dont tear others down to do it ... thats just tackey

LunaTik Touch Pen styluses Still lacks the precision of Resistive stylus or Estylo capacitive stylus from Plai. Although LunaTik Touch Pen has better precision than other rubber tip styluses on the market. I think for sketching,Estylo from Plai is better. have posted a set on flickr.com/photos/59145126@N07/sets/72157628172115599/ Regarding accuracy of Estylo. See all my 4 image photos and video on Estylo's accuracy feature and my comments on my posts on the above stated flickr website.There,See the image tittled-"Error in styluses with Disc tips (2nd image)" (Ostylus tip touching the screen is shown).You will find unnecessary point or line mark on the screen.However,Estylo does not have this problem,it's very accurate and simple in design.In fact,at the corners of tips of Estylo,which are used to give command on screen,Estylo has the smallest tip curves of all styluses i have seen till now,be it resistive or capacitive. Capacitive styluses works on Electric charge density on screens and resistive ounces work with Pressure sensitivity(pressure=force per unit area in newtons per metres square).Moreover the sensitivity size of capacitive screens is very slightly larger than that of resistive screens so we cannot use those very accurate resistive styluses with very precise small tip end .Let me tell you that the guys at Plai are creative genius. They have successfully invented a capacitive stylus with best possible accuracy till now at least which can be much improved in future through heavy research and development.Plai successfully have replaced those traditional punchy,rubbery stylus design *which have no accuracy with a highly sophisticated precision lightweight triangular design.More importantly,not only Estylo works with glove but also it does not require any additional direct radio frequency system support and external power.
