Some time ago someone on IRC freenode #maemo iirc sicelo, asked for homemade stylus for N900. So, I tried make one for fun.

First was piece of copper cable 1.5mm with isolation. It's quite instant to make but too much softness (easy bending).

Second was 2.5mm steel rod with piece of isolation on the tip. It's more stiff then previous one but ugly, can corrode and with hands contact smells (it's not stainless).

And third was 2.5mm copper wire with piece of isolation on the tip. It's quite stiff, looks better than previous and doesn't smeel with hands contact. It's best so far.

To make a tip I've ground one end to 1.2mm diameter and put on it a piece of isolation.

Diameter is not critical (max around 3 something mm) because wire ending shape (fot) does the lock into phone.
