I wonder if this is a hardware or a software limitation - in any case, don’t get the Dash 3 if you want to use this with a Windows machine! Instead, you should go for Adonit’s Ink stylus instead. This created a kind of dashed-line effect. Writing and drawing were impossible, as the stylus would start off working, stop working midstroke, then begin again.
The Dash 3 isn’t advertised for use with Windows devices, and after trying it on a touch-screen enabled XPS laptop we could see why. The stylus stopped working as the screen started to curve, reducing our drawing space considerably, and it was near impossible to add single dots below a certain size - for example, when dotting our i’s and lower-case j’s.
The Galaxy S7 Edge threw up a number of issues with the Dash 3 that made it a more frustrating platform to use than the other devices we tried. Admittedly, these problems are also intrinsic to this whole class of styluses, rather than the Dash 3 specifically. This is generally less of a problem on tablets than it is on smartphones. However, without features like palm rejection and pressure sensitivity, you have to work cautiously - it’s easy to accidentally start rotating your canvas or smudging your work because the side of your hand has touched the screen. We had a good time practising our calligraphy and drawing simplistic illustrations on phones and tablets alike. The above was drawn on the Galaxy S7 Edgeįor sketching and drawing, the Dash 3 is better suited - you can do fine detail work with patience, but broader strokes on larger screens will be where you get the best results. It’s possible to write with relatively fine lines due to the narrow tip, but you don’t get the potential for quite as neat handwriting as you would with an Apple Pencil, S Pen or an actual pen. In general, we found the Dash 3 a cut above traditional unpowered styluses (styli?), but not up to par with Bluetooth-connected styluses from Microsoft, Apple, Samsung and Adonit themselves. We used the Dash 3 with a range of items: an iPhone 6 Plus, a Galaxy S7 Edge, an iPad 2 (yes, we need to upgrade) and an Windows laptop. Charging only takes about 45 minutes and the Dash 3 promises 14 hours of battery life, so you don’t have to do this too often. This provides more than enough strength to support the stylus at any orientation, and then you can just plug the USB dongle into your PC, laptop or mains adapter to begin charging. You get a little USB dongle in the box, and it has a little magnetic socket that the Dash leaps into when the two get close together. The way the Dash charges is actually quite nice. Without charge, the stylus does nothing, so it’s well worth keeping it topped up. The tip measures just 1.9 millimetres, considerably smaller than your average stylus.Īs this is a powered stylus, you’ll need to press the button at the end to turn it on, which will be shown with a small green LED. The bronze colour of our review unit is classy and refined, with the aluminium barrel providing a comfortable grip and the clip allowing easy storage. The Dash 3 is a gorgeous-looking stylus, one of the nicest I’ve ever used in fact.
