Who else doesn't use a stylus that much when they're programming?

Do you use your finger instead or something? Or do you mean on a computer, not on SB?

i use my finger sb

Ahh, well I don't think that I could properly select something to touch if I used my finger.

I always use the stylus. In fact, the stylus is the sole reason I won't upgrade from my 3DSXL. The New 3DSXL stylus is way too short for me and really uncomfortable to hold while programing.

For me it's fine, but I don't have much experience using SB otherwise lol.

I only use my Stylus. I have a bad habit where I get a kittke bit mad when I see someone on YouTube use their finger on the 3DS touch screen.

Then just buy a different stylist, it's not expensive (i've got a Master Sword and Hylian Shield Stylist with my leather Zelda 3DS case).

But then I wouldn't be able to easily keep it with my 3DS. I really don't want to have to carry a case around with me everywhere I go. Being able to carry my 3DS in my pocket and whip it out to program wherever I am is the best. My best bet would be a telescoping New 3DS stylus (I really don't understand why Nintendo didn't make telescoping styluses for the New 3DS systems), but the only ones I could find were sold out.

I bring my 3DS (with case and all of my games and etc.) with me almost everywhere I go. I have a really bad habit.

When I did a lot of programming on the ds I kept my right thumbnail longer so it would be easier to use the touchscreen keyboard. I never used the stylus in anything. I did the same thing in Kid Icarus and I think that was the reason why I destroyed tons of people online. Everyone was complaining about the controls and I was having no problem at all. Now I mostly work with a keyboard so no more of that.

I tend to have a mechanical pencil on me, so I push the lead in and use the pencil as a stylus.

I still have my original stylus (somewhere in my house), but now I don't use any stylus, because my 3DS's stylus holder has gotten worn down, and now the stylus always falls out. I usually use any pointy object I can find; preferably a mechanical pencil, but I'll use a regular pencil or even a pen (hopefully with the tip retracted). I have a screen protector, so I'm not damaging my screen or anything...

I usually use the included stylus for the N3DS (non XL) although I also have an extended, pen-like stylus in my N3DS case that I occasionally use.

Hear hear. I have a 2ds and the stick is uncomfortable to hold for extended periods of time. Anyone know of an extendable stick that can fit in the ds? Failing that I will just buy a bigger one and keep it on my case like others do.

also, most replacement styluses aren't pointy enough mechanical pencils work perfectly, and you can write with them too.

One time while without a stylus, I used a philips-head screw as a stylus. It was the best tip possible, but that wasn't necessarily a good thing.

I used a metal tipped mechanical pencil as a stylus, which worked, but if I moved it at a specific angle, it could scratch the screen... that's why I decided to get a screen protector.

I used my fingernails a good deal of the time. The stylus made my hand cramp.

Oh my gosh... The thought of using anything but a stylus makes me cringe! I'll occasionally use my finger nails during games where you mostly use buttons and just need the touch screen occasionally (Like to get items in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, or nudging in Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon), but otherwise it's stylus all the way. That said, I don't have a screen protector and I've been really meaning to get one, although both my screens are still in pretty nice shape, and I've had my XL for... Almost two years, I think. I just can't imagine using a pen or something, but maybe I just take too much care of my system! Anyways, I think I'm going to see if I can find a nice, pocket sized case. If I can find something that fits in my pocket comfortably and holds an extra stylus; that would be really nice.
