Alternative stylus - Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers

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?

Just used the pen of my fujitsu siemens lifebook T-Series -> works like a charm!
eraser function is also working!
thanks for the topic!!
could someone please test repligo reader to see if the stylus responds to pressure sensitivity for the free hand drawing tool. what are people's thoughts or will developers have to completely redesign software for pressure sensitivity when annotating word files etc??

BRILLIANT..... That's the exact same Tablet PC I have (the T4210).
I've also got a small collection of different nibs for that pen. One is quite 'grippy' and gives a nice amount of resistance on the screen.

I tried... an possibly found a bug!
not only that it does not support pressure - it does not support drawing freehand with the pen at all!
You can draw freehand with the pen, but it does not stay on the screen. your drawing will disappear. if you draw with your finger it will stay.
line, rectangle, arrow - all is working with the pen... but freehand with the pen does not work.
someone can confirm?
I brought my intuos 4 pen to the Samsung store to test on the Note.
Didn't work
The note uses wacom bamboo technology doesn't it? Maybe worth trying those. I have an very old cheap wacom tablet, will give it a play later.
checked, no go.
Hi Guys
has anyone tried the pen for Fujitsu LifeBook T1000 series with the Galaxy Note
part number CP378220-01
does it work ?

Using an alternate (wacom) pen?

hi guys,
hopefully this thread is in the right place, if not i apologise!
I'm an artist, and one of the primary reasons for getting my note was the pressure sensitive stylus. after doing some research i found out that it was made by wacom, which is even more awesome.
now, wacom make their stylus's to have the pressure sensitivity built into the pen, and the tracking built into the pad/screen. so with that in-mind, i was wondering if it's possible (in theory) to use say... an intuos pen on a galaxy note, and benefit from the increased pressure sensitivity?
i'm aware, after trying it myself, that simply using the pen on the screen doesn't work... that's fine. so what kind of effort would it take to make it work? has anyone already got it working or even tried?
cheers!

I can confirm the pen from a x201 thinkpad tablet works with my note.

Hi,
A similar thread exists and lists pens that are known to work and not work with our Notes, hopefully you can find your answer here:

I use a Wacom pen from an old notebook I have, the Thinkpad X61T. I am not an artist however,I use it to take notes and the pressure sensitivity works really well. I would recommend that you download infinite painter from the market to see how well the pressure sensitivity works for drawing.
I tried a few Wacom pens with no luck, though I have heard of people getting good results. In the end, I just ponied up for the official S-pen holder kit, which is great. It's much easier to draw and write with the normal sized pen. IF you don't mind parting with the $50, it may be exactly what you're looking for.

thanks for the link, will take a look through it in a minute or so.
what i'm looking for is a boost in sensitivity. the s-pen only has something like 128 levels of sensitivity, my intuos has 2048 which is a huuuuge difference.
I try Cintiq pen,no luck.I heardthats works.

I believe only Wacom styli meant for Tablet PC's work with the Note. The Penabled kind.
I have tried the original Thinkpad X220 tablet pen and another Wacom Tablet PC pen (there are several variants available) and both work well with the Note. However, I have not noticed any difference between them and the original Note stylus.

Galaxy Tab™ Conductive Stylus

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.

SM-T550: What Stylus/Pen?

Hi all, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T550 without pen/stylus and I'm planning to buy one to take notes (hence with a tiny tip) and highlight books.
From my understanding there are some versions (which are still a "Galaxy Tab A" but probably not SM-T550) which come with a pen called S-Pen.
From the WireCutter Guide http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-ipad-stylus/ I've realized there are 4 possible solutions regarding styluses for tablets:
Rubber nib
Mesh nib
"Other" nib (which includes disc nibs)
Active (powered) fine-tip nib
Bluetooth-powered nib
Of these five I'm considering the option n°3 (disc nibs, e.g., https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R33ZWSC) and the (possible?) S-Pen from Samsung.
Can I use such S-Pen from Samsung with my tablet?
Samsung produces other pens for other devices:

Can I use these ones?
Thanks a lot
The first thing you must realize is that NO stylus for the T550 is going work like the stylus on a Galaxy Note or the TAB A "Pen tablets" like the P580. Those tablet have a fine mesh screen behind the LCD that detects the electronic Pen's position. The "T" tablets DON'T. Make sure any stylus you buy is for a plain capacitive touch screen. And know ahead of time that it WILL NOT give you the "fine line" definition of a Pen or Note pad stylus.
Thanks a lot lewmur
That's very useful information. I'll focus on finding a capacitive stylus then.

can i use newer s pen with this tablet

hi i wanted to know if i can use like note 8's s pen with my tablet, i don't like the 10.1's spen because of the tip is moving note 8's spen's tip seems like fixed in place(im not sure about it it look like that in videos) so do you guys know anything about this?
Seemingly all digitizers or touchscreens containing a digitizer are from Wacom.
For the pen, there are pens with and without a battery, the Note's pen being without one. And for such ones you should go then. Still not guaranteed that it'll work...
(I think the active pens induce charge into the digitizer while the passive ones deduct it using the human body as ground plane.)
All Samsung devices with pens use the same WACOM Feel tech, so all their pens are interchangeable. You can use them on one another, but whether pressure sensitivity also changes (so latest Note 10 phone pen will give more sensitivity on older Note 10 tablet) is something that I can't confirm. I don't think it gives perceivable changes in daily use though.
Also, all WACOM Feel pens are useable with one another, so a Thinkpad X230T, Surface Pro 1 and 2 (NOT Surface Pro 3 and later) or Toshiba Z20t pens can be used on Note devices, though their calibrations might be off so the cursor won't perfectly line up with the tip, but this means there is a lot of potential pen choices.
