disagree  Penelope Rickards: As a QA tester I know that the only term Nintendo accepts as the translation for "Stylus" is "Lápiz táctil". "Lápiz óptico" is one of the terms on the prohibited list :)

Explanation:
"Stylus" es el término que utiliza oficialmente Nintendo en español, y por lo tanto no debe utilizarse ningún otro. En cuanto a "pen-like", se utiliza solo como referencia para dar a entender que el "stylus" de la DSi es más grande que el de su "hermana menor", la DS. La imagen del primer enlace muestra una comparación entre ambos, aunque es cierto que el de la DSi (el negro) queda lejos del tamaño de un bolígrafo.

  -> Official terminology regarding the stylus might have been updated recently, as this is an old question. However, examples of the use of "stylus" for Spanish can still be found: http://www.nintendo.es/NOE/es_ES/systems/especificaciones_tc...
