There happen to be a lot of stylus designs hitting the web and even the market, yet I think that the Cosmonaut Stylus has got to be one of the best concepts out there. Although it is arguably very similar to the Scribbly Stylus, as it is also a wide, markerlike electronic pen, there are some key differences that set it apart. For instance, the Cosmonaut Stylus offers a more comfortable grip as well as a more simple aesthetic that would appeal to any Apple lover.
Designed by Tom Gerhardt and Dan Provos, the Cosmonaut Stylus actually looks more like a black crayon than the dry erase marker it is supposed to mimic on the iPad. It allows the ability to quickly sketch out ideas or even doodle for fun. The Cosmonaut Stylus has already exceeded the $50,000 goal on Kickstarter by raising more than $134,000.
