Hi all,
does anyone know if the usual phone/tablet pens will work with the Nexus 7? I am assiming they do. Looking forward to taking notes on the Nexus 7 storing them in Evernote or Onenote.
Anyone have any advice on the best pens to buy?
Cheers,
Pete.
Yup, any capacitive stylus should work. I'm looking into some "fine tip" ones for handwriting/drawing.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Apparently the Adonit Jot Pro is meant to be really good for fine writing/drawing:

The little plastic bit at the end of the pen can break easily though apparently and you have to order spares from the US.
But for now I have ordered the MediaDevil Magicwand which has masses of positive reviews on amazon:

If the Magicwand is no good I'll try the Adonit.

I have used the blunt ended ones and I really didn't like them. Perhaps a finer tipped one would be better? Especially for writing.
Here's a whole slue of them: https://www.google.com/search?sugex...f.,cf.osb&fp=7e9cda3a6f33f96&biw=1280&bih=899
I had my Mediadevil Magicwand delivered at the weekend and it works very very well on my Galaxy S3 using a Zagg screen protector. Slides very smoothly and writes nicely.
Obviously nowhere near as satisfying using a real pen on a real notepad but it does the job meaning I can now take notes and sync to Gmail Notes. Can't wait to try it out on the Nexus 7 when it comes.
I hope that C Pen for My Galaxy SIII would work fine with Nexus 7
I bought a stylus for taking notes. I tested Evernote, Classic Notes Lite, Freenote, Genial Writing and Handwrite Note. But in the end I was quite disappointed. Either the Nexus 7 touchscreen is not sensitiv enough or my stylus sucks, but all the handwriting looked a lot worse than on paper and the apps offering handwriting recognition succeded only in 50% of the times.
How are your experiences?

Typically the rubber tip cheap styli suck . I remember I got a metal mesh tip stylus for my transformer, worked wonders
THIS. IS. NEXUS.
Thanks for your input. Yes the ruber tip seems too big and too clumsy in order to be accurate enough for handwriting. I hope an expensive one will solve this issue since it would be really create to take notes.

The S pen that comes with the galaxy note would be a good choice. I may get one seems like a really good pen and it works with more than just the Note.

i've tried to use that stylus on my Galaxy S3, but it doesn't work.
haven't tried to use it on my Nexus 7 tho.
as for the rubber stylus, mine ripped after a few years old, and so it doesn't work anymore.

That wouldn't work.works with the proprietary wacom digitizer of the note.

Note taking is the one thing I REALLY miss coming from a Thinkpad Tablet. The foam/rubber stylus are a piece of poop in comparison. The closest I've come is the Jot Pro Stylus or the GoSmart Stylus. They're not perfect in comparison to an active pen and tablet but they do the job a heap better than the other cheaper ones.
Those look awesome. Anyone try either of them?

The gosmart seems to be better reading amazon reviews. The jot seems to be less responsive according to reviews. I may just have to pick me up a go smart 200 series.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
The naked Teflon coated tip on the Gosmart feels a bit better writing on the screen than the plastic disk on the Jot and makes less of a tap, tap noise. The GoSmart feels "lighter" and smoother on the screen and more responsive.
Be warned though that I'm not brave enough to consider taking the 300 series Gosmart in my airplane carry on if I travel, it just looks and feels "dangerous"..
Jule from The Gadgeteer has tried a good selection of capacitive stylus (alebit on an iPad). Here's her reviews on the GoSmart and the Jot.
As I say they're never going to be as good as an active digitiser/pen combination though
I ordered Gosmart. Seems like the best and fairly reasonable.

I have the jot pro.it came in the mail today. This does not work with a screen protector. It almost sticks to the screen. I tried it on Bonnies galaxy tab 2 without a screen protector and it glides better but worries me about the edge of the disk digging in. So I put it back in package and got a email. Its going back to amazon in the morning.
I will try the other mentioned above.soon android will have active stylus support and manufacturing will start making something worthy for us.
I had a note 10.1 stylus was good. But not as great as my intuous 4 wacom. Its also not quite completable with many higher end apps.
So conclusion is there is no real solutions YET BOOHOOO
I read a review that gosmart was fine with a screen protector...ill let you know when I get mine.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I have a generic matte screen protector on mine and that may be why the Gosmart feels better. Less drag due to lower surface area without the solid plastic disc
Try the "amPen Hybrid Stylus" off of amazon. Just got mine and it works wonderfully. Its pretty economical too.
Question guys, has anybody tried a Galaxy Note S Pen?

Will not work. The Galaxy Note has an Active Digitiser and the S Pen is an active pen. Same goes for the Thinkpad Tablet.
Hello, I'm going to buy the Nexus 7, and I plan to draw on it. Is there some kind of stylus I can use that has palm rejection? I really want to be able to rest my hand on the screen. Is there any way I can make palm rejection work in drawing apps such as Sketchbook Pro? Thanks.

Nope there is not.. I even have a wacom graphic tablet.. it does work on the nexus but not correctly.. If you want a tablet to draw on Get a GALAXY NOTE 10.1 ... I had one for a short time and it does very well....
Palm rejection would be something the tablet and software do not the stylus. If you are talking about real/serious drawing, this isn't the tablet for you. You would be much happier with the Galaxy Note 10.1 for that.

Does N10 support Galaxy Tab™ Conductive Stylus ? Or are there any other similar input pens available for N10? I im a college student and it will be awesome if i could write my notes directly on tab

It should work without any issue. If you register your tablet on Samsung's site, you'll also get a 50% discount code off any accessory (the pen itself went down to $7.49 I think after discount; but $3 in shipping).
The N10 is a capacitive screen, so technically any stylus for capacitive screens should work fine Just note though that any pen that requires a Digitizer (Wacom) or anything like a S-Pen won't work.
As Espionage said.
As for the note 10.1 pen, it will not work properly as in how it works on the Note. The Note has a different type of screen (inductive instead of capacitive) and it has special hardware and software to allow for the pen to register but not your hand when drawing or taking notes, and to register different amounts of pressure from the pen. The Nexus 10 will not work like this and if you touch the pen and your hand to the screen, both touches will register.
I can confirm that the stylus does not work on the N10. I tried using a coworkers stylus yesterday and it didn't register any touch with the stylus. Even downloaded some notes app that said it worked with a stylus and got nothing.

Galaxy Tab or Note stylus?
I'm using a targus rubber tip stylus pin and I like it but it's only taking the place of my finger when messing around. If I want to draw something or take notes I use my note 2.

Hi,
from images and videos about this device on web I have noticed that included stylus does not have any buttons, which is a bit disappointing for me as I am used to use stylus with as least 1 button (preferably 2 thou). Since the Yoga Book has wacom digitizer, could I use a stylus from my Intuos tablet? Or some other stylus with buttons?
Thanks
I was able to use the stylus of my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and the button worked as well

Thanks for the info.
Not the thing I was hoping. I have Galaxy Note as well and those small styluses are just not for me.
Search for Bamboo Wacom stylus. I've got one that works with both my Galaxy Note 8 and the Yoga Book. I believe any Wacom stylus should work with the Yoga Book.
yes i think so, the technic is from wacom
i test one from my old windows convertible on the lenovo also the eraser works and the button
Hello,
i have test the stylus from my Windows "Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 260", it didn´t work
Hey,
thanks all for the comments. The stylus from Samsung Note series indeed works (Galaxy Note 10 2014 in my case) and quite well actually. Just for funsies I have ordered few cheap "replacement" styluses from china, will let you guys know how it turns out.
I have also tried stylus from my Intuos tablet which unfortunately did not worked at all - the bamboo stylus seams to be the way for Wacom styluses.

Hi
I have had the Yoga Book for 3 days and loving it. I have found that the pen from the Thinkpad Tablet 10 works fine, its much smaller and has a button. The button didn't appear to do much in my first quick test. However, if that pen works maybe the Samsung pens do too.
How about the galaxy note pen version which has also a headset function (S pen). Will it work?
Has anyone tried the Surface Stylus with one key and an eraser on top? I think that would be great if it's working with our yoga book!
I received this S Pen clone yesterday: http://www.ebay.de/itm/131721242167
It works, but triggers to early, so I have many ghost lines on my notes. It's not very usable. Maybe an original product will work better - but I'm not sure.
i tried cube i7 stylus(skylake)'s pen today. it works without pressure sensor so... meaningless. however backside button works as eraser. side button doesn't works. i owned android yogabook.

Hey,
me again. So the styluses from china just arrived - it took way longed than usually does thou . So I bought these two: http://www.dx.com/p/capacitive-scre...samsung-note-3-black-2pcs-412089#.WHOxTy_Qckk
To my surprise they work quite well including the button! Only on pad thou, you can not use them with screen (same as original note stylus). Also, the tip has a bit more resistance than original note stylus when pressed, which I like very much. There are like only 2 levels of pressure sensitivity so it is not for artists but for notes it just fine.
I picked up a Wacom Bamboo Smart Stylus and it works. But... there are some weird distorted spots where the point doesn't quite track right. There are about 5 scattered about the screen some of them are about 2 inches in from the edge of the screen. While it works, the distortions were enough to bring me back to the buttonless (ugh!) OEM stylus.
The original Surface Pro (gen 1) stylus works perfectly with the Android version of the Yoga Book.
You can get one here:
OEM Microsoft Surface Pro / Surface Pro 2 Bluetooth Wireless Stylus Pen

Where's the benefit of using a different Stylus?

My main reason is to have a backup. I've read that the tip of the Yoga Book stylus insert is prone to breaking off when switching to an ink tip.
I would love to get a alternative Stylus with Gel or a little bit something softer. But thats not so important.
I'm a little bit worried, that there are no Stylus Tips (plastic) for the Real Pen are available. You get normally one with Pens from Microsoft
or Samsung. So I have to buy then a new Stylus?
Which Stylus is definitly and without any restrictions working?
Worst case, use a drained ball point tip. Should work fine. How fast do these Wacom tips tend to wear down?

Hi, interested in what the s-pen button does functionally bring, both under windows and under android.
Thanks
