How Do you hold your stylus?

DS stylus is tiny; I use my pocket PC's one. As per the majority, I'm right-handed.
I hold the DS stylus in a disorderly way since it's too small for my big paws. xD
My PC one I can hold like a relatively short pencil, but again even that's not particularly good.

Personally I'm not a fan of touch screens; but I only play Pokemon and Advance Wars games anyway, both of which don't require the stylus.

Most of the DS games I have, you can use buttons which most likely feels better for the type of games I have. Since this happens, my stylus wines up in my mouth. This is especially bound to happen on puzzles.

Isn't this the equivalent to asking which is your dominant hand? o_O"

I use it in my right hand because I am right handed.

I usually use my right hand and hold the DS in my left (and dropped it a few times as a result!). Otherwise when I'm lazy I just use my thumbs and tap the touch screen. xD

I don't actually have a DS, my younger brother does. I play Animal Crossing on it - appears that I'm the one getting all the money xD - Back to the point, I use my right hand but when I'm waiting or thinking I chew it. Luckily my brother and I have a stylus each (He got the extra pack). :x

DSLite stylus > DS stylus
I hold it in my right hand. And like I said, the one for the DSLite is far better. But I also have a stylus pen that I use every now and then.

I'm left handed so I usually use my left hand, but actually when I'm not using my stylus in a game where I sometimes need my stylus (pokemon for example) it's totally in my mouth... or when I get distracted and on go pc; like now.

I don't use "uber" Pokemon, I don't calculate stat values,
I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about
natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them
like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this
philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

With my right hand, and I hold it just like I hold a normal pen.

...is there another way to use it that I'm not aware? (besides using your left hand).
Yes — I usually hold it something like how I would a fork since it's really just too small for me to hold it normally.
