As the first [dual-grip stylus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moto-pen) on the market, it not only provides two different grips, it also allows you to write with a fat tip or a skinny tip. Designed by Kyle Scheele and Shawn Matthews, the crowning feature of the Finger stylus has to be the fact that one end actually resembles a human finger. Although from afar, the Finger stylus actually resembles a [sorcerer's wand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flick-wand). The Finger stylus is currently on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentips) with the hopes of raising $50,000 to see it goes into production. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Dual-grip Stylus:** The dual-grip stylus trend opens opportunities for enhanced user experience and versatility in digital writing and drawing. - **Personalized Digital Tools:** The Finger stylus taps into the trend of personalized digital tools, allowing users to choose different grips and pen tips based on their preferences. - **Novelty Tech Accessories:** With its whimsical design resembling a magician's wand, the Finger stylus caters to the trend of consumers seeking unique and playful tech accessories. ### Where This Applies - **Tablet Accessories:** The dual-grip stylus trend presents innovative opportunities for companies in the tablet accessories industry to offer more ergonomic and customizable writing tools. - **Digital Design:** The Finger stylus caters to the digital design industry by providing an unconventional yet functional tool for creating digital art and illustrations. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** As the Finger stylus seeks funding on Kickstarter, it highlights the potential disruptiveness of crowdfunding platforms in supporting innovative tech products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Magnetic Wirelessly Charged Stylus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pro-stylus-2.md) - [Third-Party Tablet Styluses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novaplus-a8-duo.md) - [Multifunctional Stylus Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mkq.md) - [Slide-On Pen Tips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentips.md) - [Stone-Grip Conical Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-sphere.md) - [Pattern-Drawing Dual-Tip Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colored-curve-pens.md) - [Lifelike Writing Utensil Styluses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-pencil-pro.md) - [Responsive Advanced Stylus Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moto-pen.md) - [Dental Instrument-Inspired Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handwriting-tool.md)
