Does anyone know if there is an S-pen replacement that can double as an actual ink pen that you can write on physical paper?
I would imagine you turn the pen to change the tip to a ball point pen.

That would be pretty amazing!
I know. I would always have a ball point pen when I actually needed it!
I hope this even exists!

Some Wacom pens work with the note 2 and some of them have ink pens on the opposite end of the digitizer nib.
I'm looking for the same thing. I once had an hold Compaq/HP 2215 PDA that had this, I'm kind of shocked I can't find one for the Note 2.
This is the closest I've found:

Right now on dealnews.com there is a pen/stylus for only 9 dollars shipped. Looks great and neat. Check it out!

That doesn't have the s-pen nib it has just the capacitive tip and so it is not as accurate as the s-pen and won't use the Note 2's digitizer.
That would be cool, I used to have one on my old sony ericsson P800/P900/P910 series smartphones it was an aftermarket one that fitted the phone exactly and has a small cover over the ball point, I dont use pens much, but if you need one your pretty much stuck without one

This is definitely close cause it is a wacom pen. I wish we could find one that fit into the note 2 holster.

Any update on the ink pen?

hello my fellow tab geeks.
a few weeks back, i purchased the official samsung galaxy capacitive stylus but really am not very impressed with it and just wanted to see if others feel the same way.
i've tried several stylus before for my prev iPad and none of them moved very smoothly across the surface due to the requirements of a capacitive screen, etc.
anywho, from using it for a few days; it seemed to stick more to the screen than move smoothly and in turn made any fast note taking impossible. i could never duplicate the accuracy of using a pen on paper.
are all capacitive stylus basically plagued with this problem?
now i remember the advantages of resistive screens. if only someone would finally make both on their tablets.. hmmm...
any feedback would be great! thanks!
I think it's one of the downsides of capacitive screens. I bought a boxwave stylus and it's got issues even though it had the best reviews. You need a lot of surface area contact to make a capacitive screen work.

thanks for your input kind of what i thought.
seamonkey420 what stylus are you talking about? please give me a link.
I bought the BoxWave stylus too and quite like it. It does require some pressure to get enough contact to work correctly but as the end is so soft it's not a strain. Once I got used to it I prefer the stylus over using my finger for most tasks and it has the added advantage that the screen remains clean. Obviously you need to revert for fingers for pinch-zoom and any other multitouch gesture though.

I bought the same stylus with the intent of using it for a drawing app I have on the Tab. I, too, was disappointed. It takes quite a bit of pressure to get a solid line, otherwise it would skip here and there along the line. It worked ok for just moving through screens or typing, but for doing any kind of useful sketching or drawing it was pretty much useless.
Maplins do one that has a soft tip - but it's no substitute for a finger....
bought these over at ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/3pcs-Stylus-Tou...196333?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf4a8796d
not bad and i do need to put some pressure on it but since they have a soft point im not concerned
Losing your capacity
I also noticed that if you hold the stylus anywhere but in contact with the metal band, it doesn't track at all. Sometimes you want to hold it further back.

Targus stylus
I got the targus stylus and it works on the iPad and galaxy s but struggles with the galaxy tab. I'm a bit disappointed. Must be a different kind of capacitive screen. Writing with it on the iPad is like writing on paper. Very smooth and quick to get used to.
Anyone had any better luck with styli on the g tab?

Only stylus that works is stock one only works well but digs a hole in your pocker
Got any old HDD bags laying around?
If you wrap a cut off of it around the end of a pen you have a cheap stylus and it works brilliantly on my legend
It's also a very smooth plastic so I haven't had it bog down on me at all.
Dagi stylus
I ordered a Dagi stylus after seeing a demo on a Galaxy Tab that made it look smooth. There's a few different models, so I'm hoping they have catered to the slightly different capacitive screen on the Galaxy to that of other devices.
If it was a faked video I have a stylus for my iPad.
trust me .. your fingers are working better . stylus are crap just to sell and get some profit from it thats all ..
and if you wanna a fast smoothy screen flash new rom

So here I am liking the simple fact that my many capacitive styli' can interact with the nav-keys so when I did a random websearch for Spen replacement, that link drew my attention. Is this really a replacement capacitive-type that can fit inside my Note 2 because that would be sweet to have the advantage of the Note 3's stylus without actually getting a Note 3. Does a capacitive replacement for our Note 2 even exist?

That's the stylus that comes with the phone. They don't make a capacitive stylus that fits in the phone, that's what our fingers are for.
Here's the 1 review from Best Buy. Pretty much sums it all up.
This review is for: Samsung - S Pen Capacitive Stylus for Samsung Galaxy Note II Mobile Phones
What's great about it: Exact replacement
What's not so great: Nothing
Long story short I broke my S-Pen and needed a new one. However, no need for an in depth review, but for anybody who may think this is different from the S-Pen that came with the Galaxy Note II, it's not. It's the exact replacement for the Titanium Gray Note II S-Pen. Shipped very fast and glad to have my S-Pen back after a couple of weeks of searching online. To be honest $30 is quite a bit, but if you have any reward zone certificates, use them that way you're not paying 30 bucks for a replacement S-Pen. I looked around on Amazon and it was hard to find one that had positive reviews that said it was an exact replacement.
Would you recommend this product to a friend?
Yes

Does anyone know of a third party metal S-Pen? Probably not for the Note 5 considering it just released, but what about the Note 4? I love drawing on the Note 5, but I dislike the feel of the plastic body of the S-Pen -_-.
Mont Blanc made a series of pens for the Note 4, but they're pricey. Outside of that the best pen for the Note 4 was the Bamboo Feel pen. It was for the Note 3&4, but I'm not sure about it's compatibility with the Note 5.
But then there's this... The new Bamboo Smart! It's designed for the Samsung Tab A and the Note. It's brand new so I'd imagine this is your best bet. http://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/stylus/bamboo-smart
I was thinking of more on the lines of a replacement that still goes into the slot for the S Pen. I have a graphics tablet for professional work. But for the most part, ive been drawing less and less due to school and stuff. With the Note 5, it has been much more convenient to just draw whenever I can and not bring a computer and tablet.

Oh, I see. I think that would have to come from Samsung then. What's wrong with the one that comes with it then? I get it that you'd like the pen to be real metal instead of the plastic that it is made from, but it works just fine.

It does work but it just doesn't feel right. I have been drawing for a long time now as my hobby (and for a time, job). I am used to metal pens and pencils or wood. At the very least the plastic stylus of my graphics tablet is much more well built and feels more sturdier of a material than the S-Pen. The S-Pen's plastic just feels cheap compared to other plastics and the weight is too light for my tastes.
So while I still plan on using the S-Pen, just wondering if there was a better third party S-Pen.
Anyone know of an S Pen alternative that would be larger and easier to handle? Of course it wouldn't fit in the phone, something that would stay on my desk.

I'm gonna guess that those would work exactly like our SPen...since it's Wacom tech.
Microsoft Surface 1 pen works. There are a few others mentioned on these forums.
I picked up one of these from Amazon a few days ago, so far I like it.

The Staedtler pencil is sweet. Very long, if you like the way a pencil feels after it's very first sharpening, strength and weight wise, it's great. And it comes with a cap, albeit a delicate one, to protect the tip. It does not have a side button and comes with no replaceable tips, though I suspect the standard ones that come with the phones stylus will fit.
The new spen that comes with A3 and galaxy book is the best imo. No cap, which I don't like. A $70 pen should have something to protect the sensitive tech in the tip.. Like the Surface Pro 4 pen its magnetic and has a clip.
The Wacom Bamboo Smart (Galaxy Note Version) is as good as the Stad pencil or s3 spen. It has a cap and side button.
Last and pictured to the far left is the Wacom Bamboo Stylus Feel for Galaxy Note. It's the oldest and predecessor to the Bamboo Smart. It uses replaceable tips but not like the newer ones used in the pens mentioned above. Though all plastic and the same texture and weight as the Bamboo Smart, it is painted to have some silver accents, and is more attractive imo than Wacom's Bamboo Smart, which is matte black throughout.
I have owned the second variation of Samsung's Spen with eraser (There are 2 models: 1 released after Note 2 and one after Note 8.o and 10.1) I lost it during a recent move. It was good. Used same older style tips as Bamboo Feel and the eraser was handy. Good luck finding one of these for sale.
There is a bluetooth spen (model 5100??) that was released around the same time as note 8.0. Once paired it answers calls, plays music, and so on...
Any wacom emr or penabled stylus will work.
I'm using Bamboo stylus. All features seem to work fine. Got it at Best buy after they ran out of Surface pens with the intent to return if it didn't work. Had it for a few months now. No regrets.
I've bought spen from tab S3. In meeting is better for take notes
why not just get one from ebay?

idk if I'm the only person whose had this problem. The Note8's Spen is thinner than previous model SPens, and I broke 3 (2 Samsung brand, one AWinner brand) between my fingers during normal use within the first 4 or 5 months of buying my Note 8.
I gave up after the 3rd one, but miss the pen sometimes.
Does anyone know of a sturdier 3rd party offering?
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
thx
I don't see how you can break your S-Pen as I find the S-Pen on the Note 8 to be quite sturdy.
I think that Spens are sufficiently strong and durable, only tip may ware out (after very intensive use) but those can be replaced...
Replacement S-pens will be cheapest option and the only option to fit in the phone.
There are third party - wacom compatible - pens available, e.g. from Bamboo, that will work with your Note 8 and may be stronger.

I tend to disagree. I also own a Steadler Norris Digital. I find it quite fragile, mainly due to it's length. While it may not break during active use, I think it is vulnerable during transport/storage. Also the Steadler Norris lacks a button , which prevents use of functionalities in some apps (like activation of air command). It is a very nice replacement stylus though for specific purposes, I agree to that, but for me only for drawing on my larger Samsung Notebook 9 Pro.
Basically all S-pens are compatible between the Note series, and Samsung also has offered alternatives:
The full size pen for the Note 10.1 may be an option:

Samsung also has a stylus that holds a Note 1 S-pen, which I also own, and is quite sturdy as well:
https://www.google.nl/url?sa=i&sour...ZXj_qC79Xn&ust=1540924536466923&ictx=3&uact=3
Not sure whether the Samsung pens linked above are easy to buy...
Stylus holder seems good

I have that one since long time. I bought it when I owned a Note 2. Works flawlessly with all samsung Notes I have/had (Note 2, Note 4, Note 5, Note 10.1, Note 8, Notebook 9 Pro).
Holds much better than small S-pen from phone. Button is also easier to use. The stylus holder can only accommodate the Note 1 S-Pen - it was included with holder.
Althouth sensitivity of the S-pen has supposedly improved over the note series, when using the holder with enclosed Note 1 S-pen with Note 8 I do not notice the limited pressure sensitivity of that old S-Pen compared to the Note 8's own S-pen.
You may find the holder on ebay or other site...

I don't have pics but they all just broke in half. not much to see
S Pen from Note10+ fits and works, and more S Pen is newer version made from one plastic part instead of two pars on original Note 8, and much harder to break The downside - it's shorter, so to press push button you need to use little finger nail
