Does anyone know if the pens from the Lenovo and Samsung products are interchangeable? I have a lot of Samsung Spen that I use on my Notes and Ativ. I ordered a new Thinkpad 2 to take advantage of the smaller size and was hoping that my existing pens will work on all devices.

The ThinkPad is a wacom digitiser. The SPen is also thought to be a wacom digitiser. It may well work but there are different wacom models which are not compatible. Without just trying it yourself I don't think anyone can predict the result.
When you buy a ThinkPad 2 and there is no digitizer included, then only Wacom pens work. Those for 5€ OR Jot touch pro...
But the good digitizer won't work because the feature isn't in the display from ThinkPad without an included digitizer.
I got the Thinkpad 2 yesterday and the first thing I tried was the various s pens I have. Good news is they all work

What????
Only wacom pens? they are the digitiser pens. The wacom is a capacitative pen.
And yes, wacom digitiser is a standard feature on the thinkpad, just they dont always pack the stylus in with it.
Good news that the SPens work. Makes sense seeming as they are wacom based.
How is your experience with the tablet? Still reviewing my options for windows 8 tablets and a wacom pen is a requirement for me.
as of right now there are 2 different types of digitizers. 1 is what the intuos uses and the other is what is in the note series of android devices and most newer w8 devices use. The surface pro and most devices use what is called the feel range of sensors. as long as your device has this type of digitizer and not the intuos one the pen should work fine.
Sony also have their own type of digitiser

Anybody tried any stylus pens?
Was thinking of Acase
And using it with Tabnotes and/or Sketchbook??
Sorry wrong forum!!! please move it over
Wrong section.

I picked up a Targus stylus from Best Buy, and it works fine for sketching. Taking notes is another story, though. Capacitive screens are just not as accurate as a dedicated digitizer, so handwriting often looks awful.
If you're serious about notes and sketching, you'd probably be better off with the HTC Flyer, which has an actual pen digitizer and is reasonably more accurate.
Tried the Acase cos my mate had it for his iPad. It was pretty good and its only a fiver on Amazon so I was thinking of buying one.
I bought the rubber nub stylus from bbuy, expensive, but was impulse buy. It works pretty well.
For note taking, I use Handrite, and for drawings and sketches, i use an XDA member's app called Fresco. It's by far the best drawing app i've tried.
Stylus works fine, slight lag as expected, but learning curve is very short.
I just bought the Kensington Virtuoso Touch Stylus & Pen, which is of course both a Stylus like those mentioned above, and a Pen. So far, I'm really happy with it.
Is there a bigger S-pen available? The one that comes with the Note is just too small in my hands. An S-pen the size of a regular pen would be nice.

Any Wacom stylus should serve, but Samsung also produce an S-Pen holder kit which is regular pen sized and your S-Pen fits into.

Thanks for the info.
Well, not _any_ wacom stylus will be ok. If the pen is too large, the magnetic resonance will not work, since the coil inside the pen will be too far away from the screen.
So if you can, test it first.
got my s pen holder from mobilefun.co.uk works great

there are a few informative threads around here, but it's worth noting that
NOT EVERY WACOM PEN WILL WORK
ones that come with tablet pcs e.g.tablet thinkpads will work, but ones that come with say, wacom bamboo, will not.

Hi guys and girls.
I have a wacom (1994 ancient! lol) UP1212 tablet. Thought you'd like to know that the pen works with the galaxy, even the erasor part is detected in note and drawing apps.
There are a few pens on ebay, anything with UP ultrapad) should work.
We bought a spare pen like this one cheap for th tablet
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gateway-Wacom-Executive-Stylus-Pen-CX200-CX2700-S-7200-CX210S-CX210X-M-280-/280830185524?pt=UK_Computing_FlashDrives_SM&hash=item4162c89034
And it works fine, with the tablet and the galaxy note. You can also get different nibs for these pens, from softer plastics to felt.
Enjoy!
I'm using a pen from my old lenovo x61t. Eraser works and pen responds a little better than standard but I guess that could be my imagination

That's fantastic! Never even considered giving mine a go.
Will definitely try tonight.
There's a thread in the accessories sub-forum, specifically for all Wacom pens that work or do not work with the note.
Some of Z2 users (or say many) still doesn't know that our device responses with any ordinary pencil (or pen).
Not only responses it works well and even without enabling glove mode or any extra system level mods. (Added some clicks)
However, this features is not announced officially by Sony for our devices, which was one of the major & unique feature earlier introduces to Xperia Z Ultra.
And they discontinued this with further Z series line-up phones (as also it doesn't work with Z3 and perhaps later)
So...somewhere the question arises- should we continue to use that feature in our phone, or we will end up damaging our display screen or touches?
Any idea, if there were any such problem with Z Ultra?
Please comment on that.
It was a silly idea
-Drawing with a pencil on your phone? Why can I just use a stylus? The pencil damage the screen.
-Actually you can use other electric conduction items. But why?
-Terrible accuracy, even worst than S pen
-Why can't just make a stylus? like Samsung S pen? MS surface pen? Why pencil? Why pencil?

Ok I agree...!!
But still I would say what's wrong if any device supports pencil in addition to a stylus, especially when the phone has no space to keep a stylus?
In that case it seems using just any pencil will be more handy (for lite use)
And say good for college going students or people works in art or architectural fields.
But offcourse not in the cost of damaging your screen, if it really makes then.
yes, it responds. i've tried... i'd suggest you to put a tempered glass protector before you use the pencil on the screen..... with a tempered glass like screen cover, i really felt more and accurate response... So if you want to use your pencil as a stylus without damaging your screen... using a tempered glass is the best solution.. hope i helped,

Pretty sure you can fit a stylus in the phone/phablet like Z ultra
E.g.
Samsung Galaxy Note

Galaxy Note styluses doesnt work on normal screens. I tried Note 4 stylus on HTC One M7, Galaxy S5 and Xperia Z2 and it doesn't work, because Note has a special technology for its S-Pen. It recognizes coordinates and touch of stylus and that's how it works. It won't work on non-Note phones, because of lack of this technology.
But universal styluses or pens are working very fine - this I can confirm.

It's not about getting screen scratched, it's already scratch resistant (you can search for such testing videos) and even so I am also using similar screen protectors (nilkin 9h screen protector recommended mostly).
Here the question is about such damaging of screen, resulting touch issues, abnormal behaviours or dead screens.
BTW Thanks for suggestions

Nice to hear that, let's hope will not lead to any trouble, to any screen functionality further :thumbup:
Sony has changed to Synaptic driver from Z3 (Z1, ZU and Z2 use Maxim driver), I think that is the problem, but it seems to be strange since my friend own a Z1 with Synaptic driver and get working with pencil.

Though for Z1 there are some workaround available to enable that, perhaps this mod works for Z1
Has anyone found a fully functional alternative stylus? The included Realpen feels like a $0.50 toy and does not include any buttons or an eraser tip. I've tried two alternative styli, a Toshiba tablet PC model and a Samsung Note stylus. These both work fine on the drawing pad, but do not work using the "Anypen" feature on the screen. Is there a stylus out there that works on the screen and drawing pad?
Also looking for an alternative. Only found some for the digitizer, not for the screen.
Good Stylus
Hey,
I found a review on couple of different stylus. Just Google Lenovo Yoga Book Stylus Pen. By Arthur Walker. It is a Tumblr link. He goes in full details with his experience on different stylus
I actually went out of my way and bought the one he suggested which was Lenovo Tablet 10 4X80F22107. I purchased it on NewEgg for $107 CAD. (Might be cheaper in US)
I have been using the stylus for a year.
So far, I feel its a lot better than the Real Pen. It is a lot lighter and feels like a real pencil because it uses two times more in pressure sensitivity than the Real Pen. The stylus is not too big or heavy as I can be taking notes up to two hours. It comes with two side buttons, and an eraser button that I actually use as an eraser when I'm taking notes.
Only down side of it so far is the nib is made of plastic. I notice that the nib appears to be wearing out the more I use.
If you have some money to spare and want to feel more comfortable
ruanw92,
Does the Tablet 10 stylus work on both the touchscreen and the keyboard area?
Anyone found replacements? Cause i don't know how but the point of my pen broke off (this is unacceptable) I only have 3 ink pens now. Might check the Lenovo Tablet 10 4X80F22107.
take a Samsung Note 4 Stylus, its selling for under $5

The Note Pen have replaceable pointers, are they compatible with the yoga pen ?
the galaxy note pen is much smaller and also the pointer. I use it for write directly on the keyboard surface and when i write on paper I take the yoga pen, and so I don't have to change the pointer of the yoga pen. BTW the note 4 pen only writes on the keyboard surface, not on the display
stylus from the galaxy tab works perfectly on yoga tablet
