I see Amazon offered these for sale. They look pretty interesting. Have you tried the Adonit Jot stylus with a full size touch screen monitor and Windows 8, as opposed to a tablet or smartphone?
Wow Auntie, good question! No I haven't used one on a touch screen monitor, but only on an iPad and Samsung slate. Actually I've never even demoed a touch screen monitor. My second favorite stylus is the Wacom Bamboo which has a rubber tip. But it leaves smudges.
There are some gestures that require more than one finger, which makes a stylus useless. I've resigned myself to using fingers on my iPad and use LCD cleaner and cloth sold by Monster. The only use for a stylus on a capacitive screen, IHMO, is for handwriting.
