Say goodbye to grubby fingerprints on your iPad, because there's a new, crowdfunded stylus design that promises to improve the experience of writing on a tablet. Here's how it works:



Unlike other stylus designs, the TruGlide Apex by LYNKtec mimics the feeling of writing with a pen on paper. Other rubber stylus tips measure 50 square millimeters, but the tip of the TruGlide Apex measures only 2.4 square millimeters. So you'll feel like you're actually writing with a pen instead of just making do with a marker.

The Chicago-based company Kickstarter campaign managed to raise $183,014 — far exceeding its initial goal of $24,000.
