Looking for a pencil/mouse for taking notes and school

[Some random guy 23424234]

Hi all,

 

So right now, im bringing my laptop to University to takes notes. I do not have a touch screen and its kinda hard drawing stuff with my mouse/trackpad. I dont want to buy those pencil mouse that need a dedicated pad underneath. Do you know any cheap alternative (like under 50 CAD preferably). I just need something simple to scribble down some notes. (touchscreen laptop is out of question :p)

 

Something like this

Well my best solution would be like 4 composition books, if your really a writing person, they cost about 25 cents a piece so about a dollar total, i don't think theres any cheap pen options for screens and ive heard they all suck so id reccomend either typing or composition

Ya, I'm pretty much taking typing on my computer and drawing in a book. Was curious if anyone had a alternate way for doing so. Thx anyway

@Kevinhkn you could always buy an artists tablet or a small portable touchscreen monitor but both of these options would make your experience a little more complicated and a little less portable

Totally agree. I try using my phone as a touchpad, it was .... meh...

Why not use something like one note that syncs and just draw on your phone
