Last Minute Gift Idea: Styluses from Adonit

Earlier this month, we published our annual Holiday Gift Guide. Over Part 1 and Part 2, Erica Gamet offered up nearly 50 gift ideas for the creatives on your list, including styluses from Adobe, Lynktec, and Sensu. But if you’re still in the market for a stylus or two, check out the offerings from Adonit: Jot Touch and Jot Script.

The Jot Touch ($99) offers features familiar to many pro-level styluses, including a fine point tip, programmable shortcut buttons, pressure sensitivity, and palm rejection so you can rest our hand on the screen without accidentally adding marks or triggering multi-touch gestures. It comes with a small USB charger and offers up to 11 hours of battery life while in use. In terms of compatibility, you can of course use it instead of a finger for your basic tablet navigation and input, but it also offers special features with apps like Illustrator Line, Photoshop Sketch, ZenBrush, and more.

Jot Script Evernote Edition ($75) is specifically geared for note taking, and sports a 1.9 mm fine point tip to mimic the feel of a real pen. It’s powered by a standard AAA battery and is integrated with note-taking apps like Evernote Penultimate, Noteshelf, and Goodnotes.
