No one needs a stylus, at least according to Apple. But any artist using an iPad as a sketching tool will tell you that a stylus will take your art from finger painting to, well, actual painting. After all, Michelangelo didn’t do many hand turkeys, and he certainly didn’t draw with his finger.

Sure, he didn’t use an AluPen either, but if you’re trying to paint the Sistine Apple, the AluPen is certainly a legitimate option. Instead of a foam tip like some of the competition, AluPen utilizes a touch-capacitive rubber tip (an awfully fat one, too). The AluPen is bigger than most styluses, measuring in at an impressive 4.7-inch length and a chubby half-inch width. Even Just Mobile’s website advertises the AluPen as chunky.

Chubby or not, the AluPen has a great personality. Its expert aluminum crafting, paired with iconic crayon stylings, make it fashionable—or fashionably ironic—and its heft lends a certain gravitas to using it, like a fine fountain pen. Though you’ll almost certainly never bother with it, the AluPen comes with a small imitation-leather slip case. Visually, the AluPen is sleek in silver, but it comes in five additional colors so you can write like whichever Power Ranger you prefer (except the pink one).

The bottom line. Just Mobile’s AluPen is the perfect stylus for a certain crowd. If you’re a charcoal artist, giant, or just like a stylus with a little girth, the AluPen will feel natural in your hands. For everyone else, it’ll be a bit too large to function as a precise instrument—but it’s still better than a finger.
