Which stylus?

I use the special limited edition stylus called "finger."

lol same

I have a Mario, Pokemon and a pair of huge Transformers stylus plus the ones that came with the system but I still prefer using my finger to tap/drag and drop items except if the game needs precision aiming like Kid Icarus or a puzzle game like Professor Layton.
 
I still have my original 3DS one thankfully. But a part of it is broken off so it's loose in the placeholder and can easily fall out if I'm not careful. x(

I also have two backups just in case, one with the power star on top and another with Yoshi's egg.

Omg same. I always lose my 3ds xl stylus because it always falls out of the placeholder thing, it's so annoying!
 
I use whatever stylus that is with the console that I am using at the time.
However I do have one of those larger pen-like styluses for my Nintendo Wii U when I am designing levels on Super Mario Maker.
 
I use my super chespin and fennekin pens (lost froakie ;-;)
I still remember that time when my cousin scratched my DSI's screen because he used a pencil...
 
I do! I ordered the whole neko case set for my 3dsxl and it looks rlly cute. $_35.JPG
 
I use the pen stylus that came with the HHD case.

Oh, dang! I didn't even know they had things like these listed individually.

I was going to order this soon, but this option is so much cheaper and now I have a game case for my cartridges (which I didn't have at the time I saw this).

I don't like taking my stylus out of my 3DS because I wore one out from how often I would use it, so I've mostly been using my finger. I also feel like the bigger ones would be easier to draw with for miiverse posts.

EDIT: Well, I had Amazon points to spare, so I ordered the ones you linked, for free!

i have a 3ds xl so i use the stylus for that one. my sister has a dsi and we also have some old ds styluses but i dont use them because it's annoying when they don't fit into my 3ds xl
 
Since I got the N3DS, the stylus is really small and having lost the original one that came with it I'm not looking to lose the one I replaced it with. So I've been using the Master Sword stylus that came with the Adventurer Pouch (Zelda) 3DS case. Feels a lot more natural too.
 
Other - I use a broken Wacom tablet pen. It's honestly my favourite "stylus" so far, nice to hold and the tip is thin :P

My original 3DS pen has been long gone, as did the 10+ replacements I've gotten, fairly certain they're hiding somewhere together with my socks and tea spoons.

You've reminded me, I occasionally use my Wacom pen as a stylus. It's pretty comfortable, but I keep losing the thing on my desk, so I'm too paranoid about moving it around any further. It's the reason I ended up buying a bigger stylus, though I don't know when those are going to get here.
 
My finger nail, unless I remember to cut them. Then I use the big cyan one that came with the HHD case. But if it is too far out of reach, I settle for the one that's in my 3DS.
 
i usually just use my fingers or when i have to be very specific i use the one in my ds i dont have a Special one
