It is important to use a pen with a metallic body, as this conducts the electrical charge from your hand which makes the stylus to work.
If you don’t have a cotton ball, use a small piece of cotton fabric.
If the cotton ball falls out or gets pushed into the pen over time, simply push a little more of the cotton ball into the nib of the pen.
Keep the small inside parts of the pen away from children, as they can pose a choking risk.
Throw 1 half of the Q-tip into the trash, as it is not needed for the stylus.
Both sticky tape and masking tape work for this task. Avoid using washi tape, as this doesn’t tend to be as sticky.
Don’t cover up the cotton portion of the Q-tip, as this helps to prevent the screen from getting scratched.
Avoid soaking the Q-tip in water, as this can leave drops of water on your screen.
