Can you pls share which stylus you use for your s pen. Pls post a link for it too.
Thanks
I have a whole bunch of styluses wich I use on my S21U, Samsung Notebook 9 Pro (2-in-1 winows laptop) and a Tab.
Regular use is Samsung stylus delivered with the Samsung clear view cover for S21U. As it can be placed in the cover it is very convenient.
When drawing or precise work I like to use the Steadler Noris, as it has the full size and shape of a pencil. Sometimes a Bamboo stylus a that one has a very soft tip.
For links: google is your friend too...
Edit: I now realise you are not asking for stylus' , but but for stylus pen tips... Never bought any. Most styluses are provided with 3-5 spare tips, but I never had to replace one... (don't press hard, don't drop the stylus)
Staedtler Nibs work really well. They're all I use with exception of my Wacom One pen, I use the original tips on it.

How many of you are using an alternative stylus? If so, which one and do you use it for writing or drawing? I'm especially curious about those who draw...
Nope, I'm using the original pen...it's too much of a hassle to carry another one in my pocket...it can fall down and be lost...
Cool. Thanks for the reply. I'm tempted to get a compatible stylus coz, I don't like stick thin pens. Only problem is I can hardly draw, but I love "art materials".
You could always buy the S-Pen holder kit from Samsung - It converts the original S-Pen into a full-sized pen. I'm awaiting receipt of mine today from Amazon, but I mainly bought it as it comes with a replacement S-Pen with a silver button (as opposed to the camouflaged black button on the original).
i bought one of these as well, it makes writing so much easier however I prefer using my Wacom one as the button is higher so I don't accidentally keep pressing it. I use mine mainly for taking notes,I ain't much of an artist.

Which Wacom stylus is that? I find the original pen's button too low as well.

Yes, I did think of that but it seems to have a rubber grip in the middle, and I dislike rubber grips. The holder is also a little too thick for me.

I am not sure of the model of the Wacom pen, it came with my Lenovo Thinkpad x61T about 4 years ago. I have attached a picture of the two pens together, the Samsung's one and the Wacom so that you can get an idea of the button placement.
The Wacom is slightly thinner and the button is higher up making it far less likely to press the button accidentally. The Samsung one has a nice feel to it but the button does get pressed easily.
I have a Wacom Tablet Model# ET-0405A-U. The pen from that device does not work on the GNote. It is a USB device so I tried plugging it in. It is recognized as a USB mouse, but neither the pen nor the mouse (another option with my Wacom) provided any cursor display or effect upon any screen or application.
Guys, has anyone used a 3rd party stylus on an android phone. Need to buy one for my OP3. Primary use is to mark edits on photos, write comments and hopefully to make simple designs.
I'd like it to be under $10. Or is that too low?
OP3 doesn't have hardware stylus support, so you'll have to use something that "simulates" finger - meaning big tip. Either a rubber ball point or a plastic plate. Rubber ones are cheaper (you gen get those for as low as 1$), but they're really not any better than your finger. Styluses with plastic tip are slightly better because the tip is translucent so you see exactly where you're pointing at. But they're also more expensive. I got myself a DAGI Stylus (forgot model name) a few years ago. Works with any and all touchscreens, costs about 20$ (actually there were 2 styluses in the box - normal pen sized and a tiny narrow one + some spare tips).
Keep in mind that it still won't be much more accurate than a finger, you simply need special hardware for that (like Galaxy Note series and some tablets have).

Have seen some people use this on an apple for sketching. Will be awesome even if it is that accurate
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:

Not sure whether the Samsung pens linked above are easy to buy...
Stylus holder seems good
That stylus holder thing looks good... Never heard about it... Let us know the reviews if you get hold of one.

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
Currently using a generic capacitive stylus and it does not work great. Mind sharing your stylus and share your thoughts?
To be honest if you really want a tablet with a stylus, you should have gone with either the SGTS4 or the SGTS6 as both of those have the S-Pen. Which is the best stylus for a device.

To be honest, this is not helpful to tell someone they should have gone with another tablet for stylus support. How does this help?
I have the Galaxy Tab S5e because it's cheaper. Many styli do work on most if not all tablets. The only thing that tablets that have official stylus support offer is pressure sensitivity and palm rejection. Two features which are only necessary for artists. For taking notes, I don't give a F about pressure sensitivity nor do I rest my palm on the screen/ paper when I write.
I'll be testing some styli and get back to OP.

It helps by telling you you are wasting you time looking for a stylus for the S5e. There are two types of stylus. A plain capacitive touchscreen stylus that won't draw a line any finer than you can with your finger, and an electronic one like the S-Pen that will draw a line like a ballpoint pen. But the electronic one won't work with the S5e, so don't bother looking for one. They require a second digitizer that is situated behind the LCD and the S5e doesn't have one. The cost of that second digitizer is why the S-Pen tablets are more expensive. The pens themselves are fairly cheap.
I have Adonit stylus Dash 3 Silver, it works pretty well. It has problem when you are trying draw really slowly, It makes some weird curved lines. But I am using Sketchbook by Autodesk and it has some line smoothing what really helps.
Hi there
Let's be a bit more positive
I use a meko stylus. They are double ended.
One end is the normal blunt sort of stylus, which is great for on screen typing, while the other has a clear disc which allows you to see exactly where the fine center is touching the screen.
The actual stylus looks like a high quality steel pen with rubber finger grip
I bought a set of two 'pens' with 6 spare tips from Amazon for around £10 over a year ago and have only used 2 of the spare tips
Excellent quality and value. Highly recomanded.

I will grant you that that type of stylus beats the kind you can buy for about 50 cents each. But it is still a capacitive stylus that won't produce the fine line of an electronic one. There are apps which attempt to produce a "fine line" by extrapolating what would be the center of the "fat" line, but the results leave a lot to be desired. Bottom line, if you are serious needing a good stylus for your device, you need to purchase a tablet that was made for one. It's easy to tell. If the tablet didn't come with a stylus, it wasn't made for one.
Seems I've been handing out mistaken advice about stylii for "touch only" tablets. S-Pen and other "Wacom" based stylii DO require a second digitzer to work and most tablets simply don't have them. HOWEVER, I puchased a BoxWave Active Sylus because it was touted to work with my HP Envy X360 laptop. Just to prove it wouldn't work with a "touch only" tablet, I tried it with both my SM-T510 and T720 tablets. Much to my surprise, it works with both of them. I've never used a stylus for drawing, so I can't guarantee it works as well as an S-Pen, but it does produce a "ballpoint pen" type line in the drawing apps I tried. Also, the line width doesn't appear to be "pressure sensitive". I was able to buy mine on eBay for about $20, new with free shipping.
