The casing comes apart so you can protect the brush end when you're not using it, or fold it out to create a fairly standard size brush.

It's like you're holding an expensive paintbrush. It feels great, very comfortable to hold, lightweight, but not too light. The device also has a standard nib at the opposite end. The Sensu Brush has been around for a while now it's rather unique on the stylus market as its nib is designed to mimic a brush – with actual bristles. The score is low because it's pretty basic, with no additional features, but it's still a solid entry level stylus. If you just want to try out a stylus to see how they work this is a great pen to start with.ĭespite the low score, the Bamboo Solo is a good all-round stylus - it's really easy to use and quite a handy little device. The Bamboo Solo is responsive and works really well – it's a no-thrills, practical and functional stylus. Compared with the larger Creative stylus, it's nice and small meaning when used on the iPad Mini it doesn't obscure my view whilst in use.

This stylus is actually rather attractive, it looks like a small pen, has a nice metallic finish and a handy little clip at the top for you to pin it to things. It's design may not be elegant, but you have to admire its build quality and reliability. The Bamboo Solo is everything the bamboo range champions: affordability and simplicity, it comes with no extras, no manual and does exactly what you would expect.

The Bamboo Solo is very simple, light and inexpensive
