Provided is a method for selecting a touch panel pen writing member that enhances the efficiency for product design and quality management of writing members. A method for selecting a touch panel pen writing member, in which a writing member satisfying the following requirement A1-1 is selected as the touch panel pen writing member: A touch panel pen is secured in a state of being in contact with the surface of the touch panel pen writing member at an angle of 60 degrees, then while a vertical load of 100 gf is kept applied to the touch panel pen and while the touch panel pen writing member is moved 40 mm in one direction at a speed of 14 mm/second, the kinetic friction force in the movement direction given to the touch panel pen is measured at intervals of 0.001 seconds, and an average of the kinetic friction forces obtained every 0.001 second is calculated. Furthermore, after the movement of 40 mm in one direction of the touch panel pen writing member is completed, the vertical load of 100 gf applied to the touch panel pen is maintained, the touch panel pen is kept in the state of being in contact with the surface of the touch panel pen writing member at an angle of 60 degrees. In this state, the residual friction force in the movement direction given to the touch panel pen is measured at intervals of 0.001 seconds, and an average of residual friction forces obtained every 0.001 second is calculated. The average of the kinetic friction force and the average of the residual friction force satisfy a relationship “0.45展开▼
