Has anyone tried any stylus kits? I want to try one or two, but don't just want a stylus added to the other side of a pen...I want a 'stylus stick' kit...
Anyone find a good one?

Me too. I didn't love the black plastic peice at the top so I tried the csusa stylus. It's okay but the tip is too big I think and it looks plain.
On the psi version linked above, that plastic piece enables it to be tapered at the top. I like the shape of the finial piece. I like the clip. The clip can be removed and added back (threaded finial cap ) unlike the csusa one.

There is a nice small stylus pen kit from PSI that I like better the slimline stylus kits
The gun metal one (PKTSPENGM) has been a very good seller for me.

I just use the 7mm stylus ends and a key ring kit , some 7mm tube and make it any size you want , if you don't want the ring use the end from a slimline kit

I make both the psi and csusa versions. I like the stylus on the psi one and the clip end of csusa version. They both work well, and now that csusa went to a replaceable tip, I like them both pretty evenly.

Personally I like the stylus kits from Penn State, they seem to be a little fancier. The pen/stylus-kit or just the stylus-kit both are nice kits and they sell better then any others I have tried.

I want to try the Tetra kit, because the mesh tip is far better than the rubber tip. I'm not happy with the plating choices, though... everything is "metal x" with "metal y" accents.

I believe it's a Berea kit.

I buy the stylus tips, caps and some clips in various platings, long 7mm tubes (in chrome so I don't have to paint them when using resins), and use up other clips from kits I have replaced with specialty clips. Using the long tubes I can customize the lengths of the Stylus, offering another choice.

Buy ten metal x and metal y and ten metal y and metal x, then make them with whatever combination YOU like.

I have several on my table most shows. The Stylus kit linked from Woodturningz, the slimline pen/stylus kit, and the Wall Street pen/stylus kit.
I recently saw one at Woodcraft that is a GOOD looking pen/stylus. It looks like a cross between a Euro pen (Saturn from Woodturningz) and a slimline. I'm going to be trying those as soon as I can!
Ah, here it is: The Tetra kit:

Also, the "Stylus conversion kits" aren't that great. Reason for it is, the clip is sized for the usual tip to hold it in place. The dedicated Stylus slim pens have a special sized hole in the clip.

I find that most of the stylus typs on the market are similar to writing with a magic marker. Has anyone found one with a fine tip?

Check out these from PSI. They include a small washer that helps anchor the clip.

I made one of the Tetra kits from Woodcraft last night. It turned out quite nice -- the wife loves it! The stylus tips on these are far more responsive than the standard rubber tips.

I just received my order of stylus kits. I do not want to incorporate them into a pen and chose the stylus that plugs into a iPhone or iPad. This is in response to customer requests. We will see what happens with the sales. Gun metal was my choice, most phones are black or white unless a cover has been added. The material will be acrylics in bright colors. Contrary, huh?
