When to use the Pogo Sketch

• SMS, Notes, email, entering URLs, or any time you are entering text using the keyboard
• Drawing Applications: The Pogo Sketch is an interesting alternative to expensive graphics tablets, and a lot more portable. On a mobile device, the Pogo Stylus makes sketching a lot easier. See our recommended iPhone applications here.
• Games: selection, dragging, scrolling, rolling, bowling, and trolling. The Pogo Stylus is your best choice for accurate control of your game
• Navigation: Panning, scrolling, menus, double-tap zoom. Slide to unlock your potential for increased efficiency.
• Buff away an accidental finger smudge. :)

Which trackpads are compatible with the Pogo Sketch?

All Apple trackpads with Multitouch capability will support input from the Pogo Sketch. This includes all MacBook Air, Unibody MacBook and Unibody MacBook Pro. MacBook Pro (Early 2008) is also compatible. This includes model numbers MB133LL, MB134LL, and MB166LL. Support for non-Apple trackpads is untested at this time, and not expected to work well.

Which cell phones are compatible with the Pogo Sketch?

All iPhone and iPod touch models, with no exceptions. BlackBerry Storm is known to be compatible. The G-1 Android Phone is not compatible because the capacitive touch sensor uses a plastic screen with a low dielectric constant, thus blocking some of the signal. We are hoping for better in future Android releases. The Palm Pre can be triggered, but the user experience isn't up to our standards. Like the G-1, it uses a plastic screen.

Which iPhone cases are compatible with the Pogo Sketch?

Wallet-style cases, such as the Sena WalletSkin, WalletBook, or Magnetic Flipper have pockets and flaps into which you can clip the Sketch.

How much like a pen tablet is it?

The Pogo Sketch gives you versatile tablet capabilities on the go, but there are some important ways in which it differs from a tablet. First, there is no pressure sensitivity. Cursor movement is determined by pen movement on the trackpad, and inking is performed by pressing down on glass trackpads, or clicking the button with your opposite hand on other multitouch trackpads. This process soon becomes very natural. The second major difference between the Pogo Sketch and pen tablets is the trackpad will remain in "relative mode". This means that touching the stylus to the trackpad will begin to move the mouse from its current location. The mouse will never jump to the point you touch (like it will on iPhone). The third and last major difference is the price. Pogo Sketch runs you $15, and you can take it with you Everywhere.
Note: We have some pretty hot ideas that might make the Sketch even more useful in the near future.

It's cold outside! Will the Stylus work with gloves?

Nothing is less convenient than taking a GLOVE off just to answer your phone or check an SMS. With the Pogo Sketch, you won't need to. The stylus keeps you efficient, even through thick gloves.

Can I buy a clip to attach this to my iPhone or iPod touch?

The clip pack (sold separately here) includes clips that will allow attachment to all current and previous models of the iPhone and iPod touch.

Why the Pogo Sketch works (and others don't)

The Pogo Sketch has been engineered using a proprietary method to simulate the touch of a finger on the Multi-Touch display or trackpad. This isn't a "real" answer, but it is management speak for "trade secret."

How to care for your stylus

The metallic body of the stylus may be cleaned with warm water and a light detergent. The tip may be cleaned in a similar manner. It is safe to immerse your stylus in water. For a deeper clean, a isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol), 91% may be used for both the tip and the body.

Does the stylus work through screen protectors?

Our stylus is designed to work with the lightest touch. The specific design goal was the same sensitivity as a finger on an uncovered display, and in this we were quite successful. If you have a thicker screen protector, you may need slightly more pressure, but most people don't mind. If you have come across a unique screen protector, feel free to e-mail us and we’ll let you know if we’ve had the opportunity to try it out yet.

All the Deets

We designed the Pogo Sketch to look comfortable and classy in any environment. The high-end anodized aluminum finish complements everything from the MacBook to your Mother.

Even the simple details like the logo were refined until they perfectly matched our vision for the product.

Some of the reasons you'll love your new Pogo Sketch

• Our high-gloss curved pocket clip keeps the stylus handy
• Works with any combination of gloves and nails
• Allows you to use your touchscreen device or multi-touch trackpad at a natural drawing angle
• Typing on a software keyboard (especially at first) is much easier with a stylus
• Sleek aluminum design with detailed graphics

The Pogo Sketch also features a soft, durable tip designed with the needs of mobile users in mind. It is precision-formed to the perfect size for selecting smaller links and buttons.

The tip's high-tech material makes it unique in its ability to function with iPhone's multi-touch display. The tip glides easily over the surface of the display, making it fun and easy to sketch, draw characters, and slide to unlock. Functioning like a fingertip, it moves quickly and easily through the touch interface. The screen's glass surface is kept scratch- and smudge-free.

The new Pogo Sketch

Superbly designed using a light-weight aluminum alloy and detailed graphics, the Pogo Sketch features a look that's hard to ignore.

The soft tip glides easily over the surface of your trackpad or display, making it fun and easy to sketch, draw characters, or just slide to unlock. Sized for comfort, it does away with inaccuracies common to fingertip-only use.

Turn your MacBook trackpad into a pen tablet for premium drawing programs! The new multi-touch trackpads allow the Pogo Sketch to control your favorite drawing programs (like, say Scribbles). Any drawing program that accepts mouse input will work. Many users find it easiest to use their opposite thumb for depressing the trackpad while sketching lightly on the surface.

Wear gloves in the winter? We do. With an iPhone, the stylus allows you to answer calls and surf the web all while keeping your hands toasty.

Longer nails can be a problem with touchscreen devices. Using your Pogo Sketch, you'll soon find that problem is history!

Lastly, the cool, glossy Pogo Sketch pocket clip will keep your stylus close by, wherever you are.
