Obsessed with Tomodachi Life? You need a Nintendo Switch stylus — here are our top picks for getting creative with your Miis

• May 2, 2026

Tomodachi Life fever is well and truly here. This highly anticipated, absolutely unhinged Nintendo Switch game lets you create Mii avatars and watch them get up to all kinds of antics and hijinks. It’s packed with creative and drawing features, so if you want to get the most from it, a stylus is absolutely essential.

Getting your hands on an official Nintendo stylus on its own is impossible right now — unless you feel like taking a chance on an imported, very overpriced Japanese one. Thankfully, there’s no real need to do that, because there are plenty of cheap, effective, generic styluses that’ll happily do the job. I’ve rounded up some suggestions below, with options for both the US and the UK.

These are generic styluses, so as well as helping you level up your sketches on your Switch or Switch 2, most will also work with whatever other touchscreen devices you have lying about.
