Product Description
Superbly designed using a light-weight aluminum alloy and detailed graphics, the Pogo Sketch features a look that's hard to ignore. The soft tip glides easily over the surface of your trackpad or display, making it fun and easy to sketch, draw characters, or just slide to unlock. Sized for comfort, it does away with inaccuracies common to fingertip-only use. Turn your MacBook trackpad into a pen tablet for premium drawing programs! The new multi-touch trackpads allow the Pogo Sketch to control your favorite drawing programs (like, say Scribbles). Wear gloves in the winter? We do. With an iPhone, the stylus allows you to answer calls and surf the web all while keeping your hands toasty. Longer nails can be a problem with touchscreen devices. Using your Pogo Sketch, you'll soon find that problem is history! Lastly, the cool, glossy Pogo Sketch pocket clip will keep your stylus close by, wherever you are.

 Works very well with Ipad September 4, 2010
Hannah
I just bought this stylus for my ipad to take notes with in my lectures at college. I was really nervous because I had read mixed reviews about how well equipped the ipad is to record handwritten notes. Although I feel like this is just the beginning for the Ipads capabilities, this stylus works just as I needed it to. With some practice on the handwriting app I purchased, it really does look like my handwriting on the screen! I am purchasing another one to have as a back up in case I lose this one, or if the tip somehow gets damaged.. The fact that the tip is so soft, I could imagine eventually it will wear down. But, in the mean time, this product is doing exactly what I need it to do! I am very happy with it overall, especially because I didn't have to spend $30 on it! This opens new oportunities of use for the ipad! No more spiral notebooks for me!!!
 There's a FAR superior option July 2, 2010

So, it seems like the iPad stylus getting all the attention and adoration is this Pogo Sketch. Having just spent a week using it, I can honestly say it's a piece of crap. The tip is overly soft and flops back and forth while you write. It also requires that you press entirely too hard before the iPad senses it. I now take all my meeting notes on my iPad, and the Pogo Sketch was too thin which, combined with the amount of pressure required, makes longer note-taking sessions actually a bit painful.
So, at my co-worker's suggestion, I ordered the BoxWave iPad Stylus. It's a thousand times better. The tip is more firm and rounded, so it doesn't move while using it. It feels more like a real pen, instead of a bad paintbrush. I suppose it costs a few bucks more, but it's worth it. Going from the Pogo Sketch to the BoxWave was like going from a Toyota Yaris to an Audi R8.
Actually, that's insulting to the Toyota...
 iPad necessity...never mind the color June 29, 2010

Okay so it's pink...very pink. Forgetaboutit!
What this stylus does is look and feel like a pen and write to your iPad with precision. That is worth tolerating a very bad color palate, unless of course you are female, in which case it is probably so stereotyping that you may well prefer another hue.
My own guess is that this device was designed with the iPhone in mind. And given the small screen of the iPhone, the idea was probably that women might want to use something other than newly manicured nails to make phone calls. And then along comes the iPad, and that changed everything except the color.
The iPad screen like the iPhone's is what is called "multi-touch". From a technological viewpoint this refers to the ability of the screen to sense and transmit tiny electrical signals to a process defining the position and pressure of a finger on the screen and respond according. So sensitive is the technology that it generally only recognizes a finger. If you doubt this try opening a contact in your iPhone or iPad with, say, a key. Nothing will happen.
The Pogo stylus acts like a finger, and is treated by the processor just like it is a finger. Now if you are using an iPhone, basically, who cares? You don't need a pen to open a contact. Nor do you need one to open a contact with an iPad. However if all you are using your iPad is to store contacts, you are in a distinct minority.
So why do I call this stylus a necessity? Consider first of all that the iPad is a tool, and often a business tool. Let's say you are making a presentation using Keynote (Apple's version of PowerPoint). You can use the built-in laser pointer during your presentation on the fly with a touch. If you are like me and have big clumsy fingers, you will find that a stylus provides more reliable and precise control than mere fingers. An additional plus is with programs like iAnnotatepdf which allow you to draw in real time you look like you are using a pen or marker rather than finger-paint to anyone so bored with your presentation that they are watching you and not your slides.
And if they notice the color (and how can they not?), perhaps they will just assume you are really too cool to care...or something.
Nice accessory for the iPad June 27, 2010

My husband and I each have the new iPad. He's got fat fingers and so we bought the pogo sketch input tool from the apple store. He uses his pogo all the time as primary input on the iPad, and I use it occasionally. Neither one of us use the pogo for drawing or sketching. It just makes selecting small items much easier. It is highly responsive. What you select is what you get. Plus it scrolls great. I have long fingernails and have to lay my finger on the screen instead of using the tip of my finger. This eliminates long nails and fat finger issues. Also I think this would be useful for older folks who have shaky hands. I have a touch pro2 cell phone and I can use my long fingernails as a stylus to navigate. Personally, I like that technology better than the Apple method of input. We love our ipads though and this tool enhances the experience.
Love it June 8, 2010

I love this. I wish I'd bought this first - I bought another one sans clip from the same company. The clip-on is so convenient. I'll buy more.
