I know they sell them serperately, so I'm guessing yes?  Mine feels like it's not as smooth and rounded as before, but it's so small that I can't tell.  I have a few minor scratches from EBA spinning the wheel, maybe I need a new stylus?

P.s. how do you pluralize stylus?  lol.

I always take a paper towl, wet it and wipe my whole DS.
Then I take a new paper towl and dry it. You'd be surprised that those may not be scratches.

Many JPN games (and I'm talking imports) use the hell out of the touch screen.
And when I am done playing my screen almost looks like the screens for the DS display kiosks in stores.

Once I wipe it, it is spot-less. Not one scratch on my DS-Lite yet and I've had it since launch.

Hmm, I'll have to try that. Never wiped it much more than a little with my shirt. But still, I'd kinda like to know about the stylus, so if anyone knows, please tell.

I assume that the plural form of stylus is stylus'. As for them wearing out: as far as I know, unless your bending it, they shouldn't break.
