If I had a quarter for every time I've lost my stylus....

[Ably.Saucey]

I could afford a whole bandolier of styluses so losing them wouldn't be an issue.
Does anybody else loose styluses like I do? I've been using an empty mechanical pencil and a red crayon as a styus for 4 days now...

I too use a mechanical pencil and it's better than any stylus nintendo could conjure up

i have a 2ds xl and the stylus is so tiny and even though i have small hands, it still makes my hand cramp up so i switched to a mechanical pencil with one of those squishy comfort grips

it's pretty optimal

I know, right? I've stuck a cotton swap where the stylus goes, they could have added another inch! I've got ham hands, I used to have a nintendo stylus shaped like a ink pen, but I think someone picked up as a pen it got lost.

I actually don't use a style, just my fingers. : P Don't have to worry about misplacing my stylus! I do have an LOZ stylus but I just have it in my LOZ game pouch as decoration. It's long too, so it can't fit in stylus slot.

I can't remember how many styluses I've had, but I often lose them. I forget to put them back, I use one that does not fit in the slot, or the slot breaks so styluses will no longer stay in. Several years ago, I had a period of time where I almost never had a stylus and started using odd things such a Pichu figure (the tips of the ears) as a stylus.

I ended up buying a bunch of replacement ones from Gamestop or Walmart since I kept misplacing my stylus for the n3DSXL. I'm sure I've got loads of styli from previous (3)DS generations.

The stylus slot on my New 3DS XL is super loose so it sometimes just falls out. It sucks because its on the bottom too so gravity keeps pulling out my styluses. >:c

I wish they could've put the slot on the top like it used to be, but I guess they couldn't with all of those extra buttons they added up there. :c

To be honest, I think I lost mine in my couch... But I've been using my finger haha

 

[Croconaw]

I actually don’t end up losing my stylus at all because I never take it out in the first place. I have always left it in the system.

Wrap your stylus in a single layer of scotch tape. It doesn’t look pretty, but it will fit snugly and won’t fall out! I just put a thin band around the base of the stylus. Haven’t had issues since!

 

[Underneath The Stars]

I haven't but I always worry I'd lose so I might as well just use a mechanical pencil. That way I also won't get hand cramps.

I always loose stuff but somehow I've managed to keep my stylus from Pok?mon Center in Tokyo since I was twelve; used it on my original NDS and now with my 3DS, ten years and counting (text and the original starters have worn off, but there still is a picture of Pikachu on it). Fits nicely in my 3DS carrier and it's long and thick enough, really comfortable to hold.

 

[Loubelle]

Mine is lost right now c;

 

[PunchyTheCat]

I've lost my stylus four times. Sad, really.

 

[MapleSilver]

I used to lose my stylus every few months. I would buy these packs of multiple styluses and they would be gone in a year. Lately I've gotten better at not losing them, and I still have the original stylus for my New 3DS.

I can't count how many times I put my stylus somewhere and didn't found it afterwards. It's like
that one item you can lost pretty quickly if you don't pay attention.
