TOKYO —

Elecom’s easy-to-use P-TPVLSV stylus pen for smartphones features a soft rubber tip and an antimicrobial finish.

A stylus pen is one of the handy accessories that can make your life with smartphones easier, allowing you to use your device without leaving fingerprints on the LCD screen. Although many people think styluses are so comfortable and useful that they cannot live without them, using them every day means that they are always in direct contact with people’s fingertips. This can be a cause of concern not only because of how dirty they could become, but also about the large amount of bacteria that they could hold.

The P-TPVLSV has a shaft that has been treated with an antimicrobial finish, preventing the spread of bacteria, and keeping it hygienic even when used for long periods of time. This product conforms to the ISO 22196 standard (Antimicrobial Products - Test for Antimicrobial Activity); and from the point of view of consumer protection, it is also registered with the “Society of Industrial Technology for Antimicrobial Articles (SIAA),” the industry group responsible for setting standards with regard to the performance and safety of antimicrobial products. This is a product that conforms not only to recognized antimicrobial standards, but also to safety standards.

As well as being hygienic, the P-TPVLSV is an excellent stylus pen with great features. The stylus tip is made of soft silicone that slides easily as if you were using your finger, allowing you to use your smartphone LCD screen smoothly and comfortably. It can also be used on screens with Elecom’s LCD protective films, allowing you to perform touch and slide operations comfortably.

This product is highly recommended for people who want to be able to use their smartphone LCD screens smoothly, people who want reliability when doing touch operations on software keyboards, people who want to avoid leaving dirt and smudges such as fingerprints on screen, people with long nails who find it difficult to use LCD screens, etc.

The P-TPVLSV includes a strap that can be inserted into an earphone jack, preventing the common problem of lost styluses. It also has a clip that is handy for attaching to pen holders or breast pockets, giving you peace of mind when on the move. It is available in silver, to match its hygienic image.
