    Most probably not as the ds stylus is too pointy unlike the finger which is round with a bigger surface area

    What About a Dual Screen Eye Extra Large Pen? Dual Screen= DS. Eye= I. Extra Large=Xl.

    No, it won't. Most laptop mousepads use heat sensitivity to detect your finger.

    No it won't work.

    Laptop touch pads only move the cursor when they detect body temperature pressed on it.

    So any part of the body, as long as it genrates heat, is sufficient?

    Yes.

    But there musn't be any material between it because then the touchpad will ignore it.

    At first I thought you meant my comment, but then I realized about the damage part you meant the stylus.

    Even if it would why use it..?
