The Mad Catz thumb stylus

**Yodaporn** · 10-05-2005, 09:34 AM

Today I grabed the Mad Catz thumb stylus pack (includes thumb stylus, and three regular replacement styli). I realy wanted to use my thumb, but I hated the angle limitations on the thumb strap that comes with the ds, my thumb tip would often touch the screen sending the acuracy off. With the Mad Catz one, wow, Metroid first hunt was so much more fun, even with the stylus it never felt this close to mouse control.

Its not quite for every stylus game, like it might not work so well on games like pac n roll, because I tried the morph ball mini game with it, and it threw my game way off. However, for games like mario 64 and FPS', this may be *the* way to play.

I got this back in July, its $3.99 at Wal-Mart. I had recommended it to Shane a while back but I don't think he was interested, however you are totally on the money with Metroid and Mario 64. I was FLOORED at how awesome it made the control on these 2 games become. Better accuracy and just better overall control of everything over all when compared to the included thumb stylus.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
