Stylus Pen?

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.

[Q] S-pen

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.

3 compacitive stylus (styli?) for under 3 bucks shipped

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053NBLFW/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
Amazon has a sale on these stylus pens for $2.22 shipped. Any red flags on these? I likely would only use it to draw better. Other than that, I can't find other reasons for a stylus.

Just ordered them, so I'll let you know how they are. For the price jump on them.

The three colored ones?
I got them a long time ago.
I mainly use them for draw something. They do okay I guess. Nothing exceptionally good, just ok.. Not very precise but better than fingers for sure..
Edit: I lose them a lot, so I guess cheap is always good.

Not bad, thanks...You dont know if you can get a more precise stylus or "Pen" similar to the galaxy note style one do you??

THE Digitizer grid is not small enough for the real pen like stylus such as the galaxy note. There are a few precise stylus but they have a wide round see thru plate on for tip. I have one and it works much better then those posted above. I would love one to work like my Intuos 4 tablet. NOW That would rock.
As far as the price well you get what you pay for .
Good Luck

Well been using one for a few now, and worth the $2. I prefer my fingers for most stuff, but the styli work just as good as my $15 targus, just lighter and alot cheaper.

Just be careful the rubber tip doesn't smash and expose the metal rim on the stylus. This will cause horrible scratches on your screen (learned this the hard way). I got a nano fabric, retractable stylus a little while back. It works great!

Thinkpad 2 pen and Spen compatibility

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

Alternative Stylus?

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
