Poundland's £1 Signalex iPad iPhone Stylus

Not that I frequent Poundland much you understand, but when I noticed a Signalex iPad stylus for £1.00 I thought it was worth a try. But wait, there's more! For £1.00 you get not one but two styli. One is a typical pen-like stylus whilst the other is much smaller and as a consequence difficult to hold. So how do they perform?

Though similar to the Boxwave stylus I reviewed previously, the hollow rubber tip of the larger Signalex seems harder and doesn't move nearly so smoothly across the screen as the Boxwave. I found I had to press more firmly with the Signalex.

The smaller Signalex is a different beast. It has a solid rubber tip that is also sharply angled rather than round like other styli. It requires a really firm press to register and as a consequence is hard to drag around the screen. So much that it doesn't really function for writing or drawing and can only be used for touching objects on the screen - such as the keyboard.
That doesn't mean it is entirely useless as this would be perfect if you just wanted to do basic interaction with the iPhone whilst wearing gloves for example. However you can't use it for much else.
Hard to recommend the Signalex, but then again for just £1.00 can you really complain. Even so it really would only be for occasional or emergency use.
