MEKO Universal 2-in-1 Stylus Review

If you enjoy drawing, sketching, taking notes or generally using your devices with stylus pens, you know how God-send they can be. Whether you have large fingers (guilty as charged) or you just like using styluses, you’ve experienced how useful and nifty they can be. If not, today is the perfect opportunity to try one out, because I will be reviewing the MEKO Universal Stylus 2-in-1 Precision Series, which claims to be one of the finest products on the market. Let’s see how it does then, shall we?

About MEKO Universal 2-in-1 Stylus

This stylus is one of the best selling ones on Amazon, and there’s gotta be a reason for that. Checking out their product description, you can see that they promise lots of features included in the stylus. If those are true (which we’ll shortly find out), it would explain the pen’s popularity, especially when combined with its affordable price. But before we get into the features, pricing and everything else, let’s take a look at the company itself. That’s always a good place to start, in my opinion.

About MekoTech – The Company Which Makes This Stylus

When I first landed on MekoTech’s website, I was immediately surprised by it. If you asked me whether the page looked modern or dated, I wouldn’t know how to reply. It looks like a modern dated website I guess. Which isn’t a bad thing, because it doesn’t look bad at all. I was a little disappointed finding out that they don’t have much written about themselves. The only thing I could find is that MekoTech is a US-based company that’s been around since 2011, and focuses on creating quality styluses. Oh well, it is what it is.

MEKO Universal 2-in-1 Stylus Build, Features and Price

As previously mentioned, this stylus promises lots of features. So the best idea would be to break it all down and check out those features one-by-one, right?

Build & Design

One of my favorite things about this product is the feeling you get when using it. Since it’s made from Aluminum and steel, it feels very sturdy and almost luxurious. Definitely doesn’t feel cheap in any way, which can usually be the case with these. It has two different types of tips (being 2-in-1), a thin fiber tip and a high-precision rubber one. They feel okay, but from my experience, these tend to wear off after heavy usage. Luckily, you get lots of replacements in the package, so you’ll be good to go. I really like the fiber tip, because lots of other manufacturers use rubber ones that are coated with some fiber, which then promptly breaks down. Not here though, this one feels like it lasts.

Onto the dimensions themselves:

• Length: 5.5” (140mm)
• Tube Diameter: 0.35” (9mm)
• Disc Diameter: 0.27” (6.8mm)
• Tip Diameter: 0.24” (6mm)
• Weight: 24g

The stylus looks and feels premium, and there’s plenty of colors to choose from. Although nothing looks as good as the sleek black one, if you’d like to color things up, you have the option.

Features

This MEKO stylus has several features that can be very, very useful. The first one that comes to mind is the way that you replace the tips, which is absurdly easy. Pull it out and slide the other one in, or just screw one off and screw the other one in. It fees simple and natural, just the way it should.

The stylus is, of course, compatible with all the regular capacitive touch screens, whether it’s an iDevice, an Android or a Windows phone/tablet. There are no apps to install to pair the stylus with your device, which is just unnecessary in most cases from my experience. This one works out the box, which is awesome. However, if you use a sturdier screen protector, you might experience some troubles due to that, so you’ll have to pick your battles if that’s the case.

Price

What blows me away the most regarding this product is its price. It costs around $15, which is a very low price in this category. Most other products go for well over $30, up to a $100 even. Either that or they cost $8 and break down by the time they’re at your doorstep. In my opinion, the MEKO stylus is by far the best bang for your buck, hands down.

In case you need to order more replacement tips, they are also affordable, at the price of $1-2 a piece. Seeing that you get 6 of them in the package, you’ll probably never need any replacements. But if you do, it’s good to know that they have a nice price too.

MEKO 2-in-1 Stylus Usability – How Good Is It Actually?

Now that we’ve covered the technical stuff, let’s get to the main thing – how good is this stylus actually?

You’ll be pleased to hear that the stylus offers a near flawless experience. Whether you want to use it for sketching, taking notes or just browsing the web, the MEKO stylus offers everything you need. From the second you start using it, you’ll notice how natural it feels, so don’t say I didn’t warn you because you might not want to go back. No matter what you need this stylus for, I believe it will be a great purchase. It’s just that good.

The one issue I noticed with the pen is that sometimes the precision tip will flip over, so you’ll have to correct that by raising the stylus from the screen. It doesn’t happen if you use the stylus at an angle around 90 degrees, but if you really lower it down, it might happen. You do get used to it after a while, but it sure as hell is annoying until you do.

MEKO 2-in-1 Stylus Review Conclusion

So, is this a good purchase, all things considered?

I would wholeheartedly recommend this stylus to basically everyone. It offers a premium feeling, it’s perfectly usable and it’s beyond affordable. The one thing that I have an issue with isn’t that big of a deal, so I’m not sure what would be the reason not to buy and enjoy this stylus at the $15 price point.

If you are looking for a new stylus, or just want to start using them, look no further. This is the product for you.
