I took part in a group buy a couple months ago involving circuit board kits (the blank bundled w/ Sierra Vista hardware). As part of the buy, I also got a couple standalone CB blanks and a couple Sierra Vistas with stylus tips. Finally got around to trying the stylus kits last night, and discovered they don't play well with the circuit board blanks!
The cap on the stylus kit is not as deep as the regular Sierra Vista cap, and the CB blank is a tad shorter than the brass tube included in the stylus kit. I don't know if the brass tube is longer than the regular Sierra Vista tube - don't have a regular kit to compare with.
End result: there's about a 1/16th inch gap when you push the pen together. :frown:
I put a non-stylus cap from a regular Sierra Vista kit on it and it's fine, but it looks like I cannot use the circuit board blank with the stylus kit - bummer - it seemed like a natural synergy, but I guess there's a reason they don't offer it bundled. Caveat emptor.
