Default Stylus For Win 8 Touch Screen?

Asus Ultrabook.

Nice screen, but it could use a stylus - especially when remoting to
other PCs with larger monitors.

Tried the styli from my Samsung 5" and 10" Notes, but no luck.

I'm guessing such a thing would have to electrically connect with the
user's hand to trigger the capacitive aspect of the screen.

Seems like there are plenty of offerings - as in

But has anybody found anything that works specifically on an Asus
screen?

I have an Asus tablet with Win8.1 and use a Targus, small tip (6mm) stylus
that works well. Only found it at Best Buy ($15) but you should be able to
find it online.

That's the one I just got per your post. $15 at Staples.

It does work.... but seems more like a finger tip analog than what I
think of as a stylus.

Has anybody got anything that works that has a finer point on it?

At Staples, they all looked about the same as what I bought.

My application is connecting remotely to PCs that have fairly large
monitors - so that the objects desktop shown on the app used to remote
are quite a bit smaller than in real life... and that's where a fine
point comes in.
