Designed for use on capacitive touchscreen devices, like iPads and most newer tablets and mobile phones, stylus pens can feel more natural for drawing and writing than using your finger, and helps keep your screen free from fingerprints.
Most of these have a stylus on one end for use on touchscreens and a pen on the other, making them ideal for everyday use. Some have multiple pen or pencil tips, too, making them even more flexible; and often using standard D1 'multipen' refills, giving you lots of choices.
Some use Wacom's EMR technology, which needs to be used with compatible devices - if you use an Android tablet with an EMR screen, you can use these to add features like pressure sensitivity and maybe angle sensitivity, so it can respond far more like a real pen, making a much more powerful and flexible tool.
