Stylus?

I'd love to find a stylus to use with the sketchpad app. Works really well but hard to paint with my finger on this anyone know of there is one that works on the NC?
I see the targus one for iPad but I don't know if that works for this or not.

The iPad is a capacitive screen meaning that it responds to objects that are electrically conductive as change in voltage that the screen can detect the location of. The Nook Color has the same type of screen, so any stylus or pen mod that works for an iPad should work for a Nook Color.
No guarantees of course since this is just off the top of my head but good luck and report back with your findings

I ordered a box wave stylus (as it has good reviews and was on sale for $10). I will report if it works well or not for the sketching app

I've had the boxwave for a few months for my ipad. I am not having much luck with it on the nook, but that could be due to having the anti-glare screen protector on.
Good luck!

I tried using my wife's Pogo stylus, but when trying to draw with it, its like the stylus will draw a dashed line in 1-2cm increments -- completely unusable. I ordered the Dagi P005 stylus in hope that its larger flat tip will provide usable results. I'll post up my impressions when it finally comes in.

Follow up
So the boxwave stylus (I don't have a screen protector) worked pretty well. No real complaints. It isn't as easy as sketching with a pencil but I am overall decently happy with it.
However, I traded with a coworker and gained a Griffin GC16040 Stylus because he doesn't like it for his iPad. That draws pretty nice with the Autodesk app. I can get smooth lines (no hopping) and don't have to press super hard to get a result. I would definitely say that is the winner of the two. He said he got it off buy.com for $13 new with shipping.
I am going to snag a second.

Excellent! I'm glad to know I have options. I was going to be pretty disappointed if I couldn't find one that worked.

I think Wacom has some good ones, they focus on drawing pads for artwork and such so I imagine they are pretty good at it.

Don't think wacom pens will work that way. Pretty sure they use a proprietary technology. Please let me know if I am wrong.

Ive been really curious about this as well.
Im interested in the amount of pressure that must be applied at the width of the mark it makes.
Anyway you can do some line tests and upload?
I wonder what inside makes one stylus better than another, it would be like one finger being better than the other.

Just received my Dagi stylus.... works splendidly. They sent both the P005B and a free P101 stylus - both of which work well. No stuttering. No dashed lines. No other nonsense. The Dagi has a nice 12mm transparent tip so you can see exactly where you're writing. I love it.
Also, while I cannot comment on every Wacom stylus, I can say my wife's did not work with the Nook. (As expected). Do they even make a capacitive stylus?

Tim - Thanks for the feedback on the Dagi. Do you use a screen protector on your NC?

I can do pressure tests and get them uploaded this weekend. If I remember right from playing around it wasn't I just adjusted the pencil tips in the app. Which worked fine for me.
As for wacom no capacitive styluses.

I currently use one. I tried the Pogo stylus with and without one and only used the Dagi with one.

I bought a targus ipad stylus which from what i can tell is the same as the griffin but does not draw consistently at all. Has anyone else tried one? Also in general the touch screen seems to not work very well at the edges of the screen, is this a common problem?

The new EEE Slate comes with a Wacom Stylus, the screen is indeed capacitive. Not sure what model or if can be purchased separately.

Got it on eBay from an Australian seller, but it seems to have come straight from Dagi. It showed up in about a week in spite of coming from Taiwan.

Stylus suggestions

I have been looking for a stylus for this device. However I can't decide on a stylus to purchase. I have read the verge review for the stylus for Ipads. However i was wondering if anyone could give some insight as to the stylus you use. It would be much appreciated.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801733
here was my search for stylus
at the end i realized that the cheap dollar one is good enough for my use
i also got a smith and Wesson tactical stylus that you can technically use it for self defense (i was able to pop a basketball with the stylus)

I like the Kuel H10

I've been using the targus stylus from Wal-Mart feels nice in the hand and has the width of a nice feeling pen , I'll upload a picture cost around $13 but they go on sale from time to time.

I'm using the Applydea Maglus, very very nice feel and a great tip but still a bit heavy in use, it replaced the Kensington Virtuoso Touch I got first that didn't live up to expectations.

I like the BoxWave Evertouch:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1389517282&pf_rd_i=507846
It's not the cheapest stylus available, but it uses a mesh for the tip instead of rubber and that makes it glide really smoothly along the screen. Plus I liked that it was pen-sized and had multiple colors to choose from. There are better styluses out there, but they tend to cost a lot more. I thought this was a good middle of the road option. So far it's held up well, and I got it right after the first batches of Nexus 7's started to ship and use it every day.

I'm using the Boxwave stylus as well. It feels like the tip is softer than a traditional, cheap capacitive stylus. I hardly use a stylus because of the lack of precision.
I have thought about finding a way to "firm" up the stylus tip, but I'm concerned about the input detection "skipping" with a smaller contact area.

Using the cosmonaut.

I was really looking into the Maglus, however, my main question was if the magnetization worked on the Nexus7. I would assume it doesn't. That was a concern for me before ordering it.

The magnet on the stylus is very strong but there's nowhee on the nexus for it to attach, luckily my case has a metal closure that the styus clamps onto perfectly.

The tip of mine started out pretty firm but has softened over time (after playing a ton of beat-the-bajeesus out of the screen tapping games.) It doesn't really affect how I use it though, I can still press buttons without having to tap with a lot of pressure or anything like that. If you're looking for a smaller contact area than the BoxWave probably definitely isn't the best. I don't know of any cheap small contact styluses though, only the expensive Jot line. I think the Wacom Bamboo had a smaller tip and wasn't crazy expensive, but I've never used it so I don't know how good it is. Hopefully better than the BoxWave since it costs more.

I like it so far, it works great with my N7 and makes Swype a lot easier. The only issue that I have is the length of the stylus. I think, at under $4.00 its a great buy though.

I've got the jot and jot pro... they both suck... hit or miss all the time... totally bummed with these

Just got the Jot and found it to be the opposite... Spot on! Mind you i did try several different note taking apps before settling on Writepad which seems to work well with the Jot

Best Stylus

(searched and saw no thread on best stylus)
I'd prefer a full-sized stylus to use with my Note 2. I ordered the S-Pen with Eraser (ET-S200EBE) from Samsung thinking it would be full size. While bigger than the built-in stylus, it is far from full sized.
I see Wacom is coming out with the Wacom Bamboo Stylus Feel in January. It looks good.
Any other thoughts on a full size stylus including eraser?

You might be hard pressed to find something with all the requirements you are looking for.
If i find anything I'll let you know. For now I'm going to subscribe to this thread.

I spoke with Wacom directly. They say that the implementation of the pen technology is slightly different, and that the Note II will not be compatible.

I do not believe one exists that uses the more precise technology used in devices like the Note series. Plenty exist for typical capacitive touch screens. Don't get one of those -- it will work, but will not be accurate enough for handwriting and drawing.

I went through two Spens w/eraser. Both did not work like the phones pen. I returned both to try the Spen with holder and it works GREAT! The pen with eraser would not draw a consistent line on the screen. After examining it against the phones pen you can see the tip is designed differently. I did try adjusting the potentiometer in the pen w/eraser with no success. The pen with holder is designed more like the phones pen and the holder actually feels better to hold and I like not having to flip the pen over to erase.
Get the S pen with holder.

It feels excellent in the hand. Nice weight. It writes exceptionally smooth. Feels like a real pen. The tip is much softer than the Spen's tip but it's still firm enough to be precise. Basically I used to fear my pen would scratch my screen but not with this one....its hard to explain.
I'm not sure how it would be with drawings since I don't use it for that.

Cool, any chance we could get a video of you scribbling on the Note 2 with it? Want to be sure this one works good, I've already been burned twice...

So - any recommendations or comparisons - Bamboo or Spen w/ Holder?
To the dude looking for the stylus with real ink as well - if you don't need spen for all tasks, the YESPEN -S1 plus on ebay is sick!!! I acknowledge 100% that it is nowhere near as good as the spen... 1 degree of pressure vs. 1024; bulbous head vs precise head; mushy vs. hard...
That said - it's good enough to write with on screen... simple figs are good enough... and it doesn't draw any power like the spen does... may want to consider the yespen-s1 plus as it has a shxit ton of extra features over the above.
Samsung has what looks like a full handed spen stylus with bluetooth headset hfp hsp built in. BUT $98 is the cheapest I can find it.
YesPen-S1 plus has the capacitive stylus; an ink pen; an sdhc usb memory stick built in; AND bluetooth hfp, hsp, a2dp, ?aptx? - it has an earpiece and a microphone built in, a speakerphone loudspeaker, and a 3.5mm headphone jack... it's basically - the sickest pen ever made (WISH IT HAD SPEN too and that it fit in our slot and charged via the EM wave induction).
Check it out - yespen s1-plus on ebay $59.
Had mine about a month and I'm soooo digging it though it is relative crap compared to the artistic precision of the spen.
Sometimes it has it's uses though.
If anyone else sees cool stylus tech - please post here, subscribing now, so I can get it.

I ordered that one, I think same seller name miao miao.
The spen from outside looks 90% same as oem. Only the tip color the white a bit off not as clean as oem, like painted or something.
The second one is the samsung brand on the metal abit different, not in a bad way, just different if you compared side by side.
It is acts exactly like the oem. Where you press the button it acts differently than when you dont press, just like oem.
The problem is .... I cant use it.
It's over sensitive, the screen reacted when the tip is a quarter inch away, and theres no way to adjust the sensitivity since there is no potentiometer inside that we can turn it to adjust like the oem.
Not sure I got the defective one or all like that, but the seller is sending a replacement that I havent got yet.

Maybe I'm too anal, but it's a problem for me, I flip the homescreen to the right, a slight movement on air makes it moves back to left. On note, I draw something, takes the spen off the screen, and its still drawing something while hovering.
My OEM spen, it only works when it touch the screen, and I expect no less than that.

If it truly works like the OEM there should be a way to adjust the knock off spen. There are multiple posts about the adjustments.

I just saw the adonit version has also a pressure sensitive version if you are looking to take serious notes or draw. but a regular fine point will only help to see where you are writing, they're all the same.

Any chance you can provide a picture of that stylus? Snap a crappy photo with a phone camera or, the Nexus 7 perhaps?
I have a Walgreens like 2 blocks away and I've yet to see anything like that at one, but there are several others here in Las Vegas I can check on, just need to know what I'm looking for, or a brand name, product/model number, etc. If you have the original receipt for it when you bought it, the Walgreens SKU code (product number) would help too.

Here are the three pictures. The blue one is the walgreens one. The black is a normal size stylus. The head half the size at least. It not fine point but small enough to help.

Adonit is the best I've seen. However these capacitive touch screens aren't going to give you fine control. That's the downside to the technology. The Adonits have smaller contacts but won't magically give you a pressure sensitive pen such as a Galaxy Note. It has additional screen tech layers that give it that ability.
Just don't want you to be dissatisfied or have too high of hopes.

I just ordered the Kuel H10. I'll let you know how it is once it arrives if you're interested. I had another one but that was pretty bad, so I'm hoping the Kuel is an improvement.

You won't get something fine tipped like a ball point with a capacitive screen. The screen needs a large area (Relative to a fine tipped stylus) the size of a finger tip close to the screen, and takes the center of the area interacting with the screen to find the tap point.
The way the Note, Note 2, etc get a fine tipped stylus is by using additional technology to the capacitive screen.
The closest thing you can get is a stylus that has a pad the correct area, and has a pivot at the pad to provide the approximate feel of a fine tipped stylus like so:
This is an adonit Jotpro.
They still have the drag of a larger stylus, but give a pretty good feel. Be prepared to spend a bit more; a jotpro is around $25.

The tips on those things are pretty fragile I hear. Have not tried them myself.
My Kuel H10 just arrived today, and so far I like it. Though it's absolutely tiny.. and I have small hands. For someone with big hands it would feel like a toothpick almost. The tip on it is pretty great though, so that's a plus.

I bought the BoxWave EverTouch about three weeks ago and I really like it. The main challenge with using any stylus on a tablet is not touching your palm to the screen, but after I've adjusted to it, I really enjoy using it. I primarily utilize it to take notes at school, but I've recently begun doing my calculus homework and exporting it as pdf in FreeNote. The microfiber tip has virtually no drag on the screen and while it's not as precise as the adonit jot pro, it's much more durable and I feel like it holds up quite well. Not bad for $10.
The biggest downside of using this stylus is the diameter of the tip is bigger than I want. After a bit of adjusting I can make mostly accurate marks but I'm still on the lookout for a stylus with this same capacitive microfiber tip with a smaller diameter.
Look for "Boxwave EverTouch" on amazon.
