    okay, i know there's a difference between styluses for apple and microsoft, however i'm kinda desperate for a versatile one.

    i currently want a drawing stylus that can be used on my Ipad mini 3 (cause i use ibis paint) and for my laptop that runs on microsoft 10 cause my laptop is touch screen.
    since my laptop is touch screen i don't really want to buy a tablet and rather have a stylus i can use everywhere.

    normally i would just buy a stylus compatible with my ipad, but i'm gonna go to university soon to study animation and illustration, so just having a stylus for my ipad isn't going to cut it.

    if it's not possible i would like suggestions for other ways i could get around it.

    please help!!! i'm running out of time!!! >_<;

    Depends on what features you need, but sounds like you want something similar to the stilo active tip pen. (Apple has certain specs that allow other stylus' to work, but microsoft limits your choices)

    i'm not too fussy, but it'll be preferable if it has palm rejection and pressure sensitivity. i'm not a fan of bluetooth, but if it means i'll get a good stylus then i don't mind

    Only apply devices really support palm rejection. The stilo pen just generates an electric current to make the computer think a finger is drawing.

    well that sucks, well i'm not too fussed about palm rejection, but more about pressure sensitivity, since i'm a fan of drawing in pencil. from what I see, stilo doesn't have pressure sensitivity either, do you have any other suggestions?
    (thanks in advance!)

    Sorry, there really isn't much compatible with microsoft unless you have a surface or something.
