Just FYI I lost one stylus the other day so I set out in search of a suitable (usable) substitute. I visited an arts and crafts store. I found they had some cheap wooden rods that should be workable into something. The size that fit the hole is a 3/8" round rod. But that wasn't the most elegant solution I came up with. It was (drumroll please)...........








knitting needles.

Yes I know. Who woulda thunk it. But a #8 knitting needle (which may be available in metal, wood, or even really cool looking transparent plastic) is the right diameter. They should be easy to cut to the right length, and something affixed to the end to make it like the original. And they're also quite cheap.
