What makes gpik™ work
so well?
We experimented with many shapes before selecting the present design--the specific
angle of the tip allows the user to view the screen and increases his speed and
accuracy.
What is the purpose of the nipple like tip?
Again this was specifically designed to allow for ease in scrolling for certain
pdas and also to increase accuracy on certain devices.
Can gpik™
be used on keypads?
Yes however gpik, LLC is developing another product called a keypad accessory
tip that will enhance use on most keypads by utilizing a concave tip design.
When will the keypad accessory tip be available and why was it developed?
The keypad accessory tip should be available soon - it was developed because there
are many smart phones and pdas that have convex keypads but the keys are very small
and it is difficult for some people to use them easily- the gpik™
accessory tip will assist those users in being able to take full advantage of their
devices. The specially shaped rubberized tip will greatly enhance gpik™
usage on keypads by eliminating the “slippage” factor.
Can gpik™
be used on the iPhone™?
No not at this time. We are working on an accessory tip exclusively for gpik™
that will allow it to be used on the iPhone™. The
new tip will improve speed and accuracy when emailing and texting.
Will gpik™
fit all thumb sizes?
gpik™ will fit most adult thumb sizes –
it will stretch to fit larger thumbs and has a certain memory for that – so
that a family member that uses a gpik™
more or less personalizes it after some use.
How do I adjust the size?
For larger thumbs take the wings of the gpik™
and spread them out, hold them in that position for several seconds. For smaller
thumbs do the reverse by pressing the wings together.
Can children use gpik™?
Yes if proper care and caution are exercised by the adult to ensure
that it can be safely used for its intended purpose. Not recommended for children
under 8 years of age.
Can gpik be used on my finger?
Yes, of course. However the main benefit of gpik™
is that by using it on the thumb requires only one hand – not two thus making
multi-tasking easy.
Where can I buy gpik™?
Right now this website is the only place you can purchase gpik™
however there may be local distribution in the future. Interested in becoming
a distributor? Great, email us at

be personalized for my company?
Yes in the future we will hope to offer that benefit. Please let us

company and have the company logo imprinted and we will do our best to accommodate
