Most styluses are designed to look and feel like a pen—great for writing, terrible for drawing. That’s why this new stylus from Studio Neat is built like a crayon. Dubbed, the Cosmonaut—presumably in reference to the old joke about NASA building $100,000 space pens and the Soviets simply bringing pencils—the stylus uses an oversized rubber…
