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.

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.
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.
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.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
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
Okay.. Probably in a rush to throw my sim and sd card in... I didn't notice anything that could be used by these.....
What are they for lol?!
Off topic.
Coming from a Note 2 this is hands down the best smartphone I've ever used. Everything is just impressing me!!

Also note (pun intended) that they gave you four rubber-coated tips (three in the bag, one in your S-Pen), and two uncoated (Note 2-style hard plastic) tips.
I was personally elated to see they gave me the uncoated tips, as I really hated how the rubber-coated tip makes the stylus drag on the screen, so I promptly swapped it for the hard tip and have been a happy pumpkin since.

What's the reason for two different styles? Pen feel or does the runner coated help with not marking the screen?

Think about it.
What would rubber feel like on glass? Friction, and lots of it. This would make the stylus feel "draggy." Some people prefer their stylus to feel "draggy," others prefer the smooth glide feel of the hard plastic tip.
The earlier styli bundled with Note and Note 2 only had the hard plastic tips with the smooth glide feel. I bet Samsung got enough complaints from people wanting the "draggy" feel that they not only now include rubber-coated tips, but also install one in the stylus by default.
Another reason Samsung gave you the extra tips is because the rubber coating wears out and your "draggy" stylus will eventually become "smooth glide." This is why they gave you twice as many rubber-coated tips (3+1 in stylus) as the hard plastic ones (2).

Yes, I personally don't like the feel of plastic on glass. Rubber (or better yet, hard felt) gives the feel of something closer to writing on paper.

Yup. Though hard felt is textile (fiber pulp) and thus has absolutely no grab on glass, it would glide as smoothly as the hard plastic tip. Rubber has grip on smooth surfaces because it's an adhesive.
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
