Mitsubishi As82 Uni Stylus

Do not let its looks fool your eyes, but do let its shape fool your hand! This actually a touch-pen stylus for tablets and smartphones, and maybe the best one out there. Built by Mitsubishi in the familiar hexagonal shape of a wooden pencil, it sits in the hand exactly as a writing instrument should.

The Uni Stylus is recommended for drawing, note-taking and daily use on any capacitive touchscreen: iPad, Android tablets, phones and drawing apps. Its Ag silver-fibre tip expands on contact with the glass to guarantee a stable, responsive line without crushing the nib. That nib is easily replaceable, and one spare sits inside the cap.

You can buy additional replacement tip sets directly from Papier Royal, as you will use this stylus for many years to come.

What a great example of a tradition pencil maker creating modern products that keep the best of the old to invent the new.

Mitsubishi Pencil is a Japanese company founded in 1887. One of the country's oldest pencil makers, they have produced writing instruments prized for the precision of their graphite and the longevity of their industrial design. The "Uni" brand was first introduced as a line of rollerball pens, and has gradually expanded to all of the company's innovative products.

Made in Japan.
