The HEX3 JaJa Pressure Sensitive Stylus is the most intriguing of the three pressure-sensitive Apple iPad? styli I've tested, and it has the most potential. But it isn't the best, not yet, and its missing features and various quirks lead me to recommend the Adonit Jot Touch more highly as a very similar stylus.
Running $89.99 (direct), the JaJa is priced between the $79.99 Pogo Connect and the $99.99 Adonit Jot Touch. It's a pretty long stylus at 5.75 inches, with a gunmetal-gray barrel interrupted by a comfortable diamond-shaped rubber grip area. Pop off the clip-on cap (which then pops onto the back) and you see a narrow tip ending in a plastic disc, just like on Adonit's styli. While Adonit's disc was perfectly clear, though, this one showed a bit of cosmetic gluey schmutz along the top. The clear disc lets you draw much more precisely than with snub-nosed styli like the Pogo Connect, although it has a slightly scratchier, less naturally grippy feel against the screen.
The grip area has two buttons; hold down the top one to turn the JaJa on.?The power light had a bit of a leak up into the barrel.?You can custom-set the light and heavy pressure levels, which you can't do with any other stylus; I really liked that. Otherwise, the buttons default to undo and redo functions, although some apps will let you change them.?
The JaJa is the only pressure sensitive-stylus not to use Bluetooth. Instead, it uses ultrasound, which gets captured by your iPad's microphone when you're running a compatible app. You're not supposed to be able to hear the ultrasound, but I found that my JaJa made audible clicking, ticking, and rattling sounds as I used it. Maybe that wasn't the ultrasound, but it was a little distracting. The JaJa also skipped in very noisy areas full of high-frequency sound, such as a coffee shop when the espresso machine was running, and next to an echoey, enclosed children's ball pit. It worked fine in quieter areas and outdoors.
While HEX3 promises that the JaJa will someday work with a host of apps and with Android tablets, for now it only works with five iPad apps: Procreate, Sketchbook Pro, PDFpen, SketchClub, and ArtStudio. (Always make sure your favorite app works with a stylus before buying one!)?I got the pressure-sensitivity working with Procreate, Sketchbook Pro, and ArtStudio without a problem, but I couldn't get SketchClub working with any?of my pressure-sensitive styli. When it was working, the JaJa had excellent pressure sensitivity, aided by its 1024-level detection and especially by my ability to custom-set the light and heavy pressure levels to my taste.
The JaJa has a lot of potential. It's the only pressure-sensitive stylus that works with the original iPad, and there are currently no pressure-sensitive styli for Android tablets. I love the custom pressure settings. But with its short list of supported apps and several build quality issues, the current JaJa still feels like a beta test.
