In real-world use, you’ll note that there’s just a tiny hint of lag between when you write and when the ink hits the screen, hinting at the indirect pen tip and motion measurement magic that’s taking place. It’s easy to unscrew Script’s bottom and insert the included AAA cell, but we’re not generally fans of having to swap and dispose of batteries.Īs a writing utensil, Jot Script is tantalizingly close to awesome. Script’s added thickness accommodates a switch from Jot Touch’s integrated rechargeable battery to a common AAA cell - one with no promised battery life - a change that may strike some users as a downgrade given that the prior model could last for months on a charge and then recharge with an included USB dock. The new 5.6”-long, 0.45” diameter metal stylus is thicker and shorter, ditching the top rubber grip in favor of machined rib lines, and losing the twin app-customizable buttons in favor of a single and frankly hard to find in-line rectangular power button. Quite a few other things have changed between Jot Script and Jot Touch. But if the power’s off, it goes completely unrecognized by the screen. So long as it’s on, indicated by a small bar-shaped light found close to its center, it will interact with any iOS user interface element just like other styluses. Jot Script apparently sends out a light electrical pulse that is recognized by the iPad as a capacitive input, and also uses an integrated accelerometer to detect the stylus’s angle and coordinates. As it turns out, Adonit had to use some cool engineering tricks to enable its new 1.9mm “Pixelpoint” tip to work, given that its slight, pen tip-like physical size wouldn’t normally register as “finger-like” by an iPad’s touch display.
