Is there a pen that would work on Surface RT that isn't a spongy mess at the end?
I have two pens right now. One that has a disc on the end that only works when you place the pen perpendicular to the screen.
The other looks like a metallic crayon/pencil hybrid.
Both suck and I'm out $80.
Is there anything that would work for quick sketches and note taking?
That maybe has a hard tip and won't scratch up the screen?
Can the screen be scratched by any stylus anyway?
Thanks!
I have tried several cheaper pens with awful results. I can make a perfectly straight line with my finger but the pens make squiggly lines 95% of time. The cheap pens I have work fine on an iPad screen.
Would like to hear if anyone finds a suitable pen.

I ordered the Wacom Bamboo. I'll update once it comes in.
My Adonis jot works beautifully. Absolutely love it. Needed a bit of foil between the disk and Stylus to fix minor jumping

How!? As your pen work? I have a HTC Flyer and not working!
Want a pen that isn't spongey, wrap kitchen foil around a biro. Has a scratch risk though which is probably why that spongey rubber gets used all the time.
Also a Zippo lighter works which is just weird.

The stylus for the HTC flyer is an active digitiser pen not a capacitative pen as needed for the RT. Of course it wont work, although it might if you were to wrap tin/aluminium/whatever foil around it but then that might scratch your screen which is bad and that would also interfere with the coil in the tip of active pens hence preventing it from then working as anything more than a capacitative pen on the HTC.

Samsung stylus works for me!
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk
My wife and I are both using the Samsung conductive stylus.
She bought it for me for a gift and at first I was skeptical because I had not used one before. But I quickly adapted to it and now the stylus goes with me everywhere I go (it works great on my Atrix and the touch screens at work).
The stylus has greatly reduced the need to constantly wipe the screen of fingerprints, although the rubber tip does leave a barely noticeable smudge on occasion. I find that my accuracy is much improved, especially trying to click on tiny hot links.
Swiping is intuitive as well, but if you swipe too quickly it may skip. You also need to get a feel for how hard to press down on the tip. As far as using drawing or note taking apps, I don't use either, but I have done some scribbling and note writing as a test on the stock pen memo app that came with the tablet and the stylus seemed to work fine. Just don't expect razor sharp detail in your penmanship or artwork.
As I would expect from a Samsung product, the build quality is fantastic. The black and chrome finish looks classy and the stylus has a solid heft to it. The barrel is roughly the diameter of a regular writing instrument and has a very natural feel when held in my small/medium sized hand.
I'm actually considering getting two more so I can have one at home, at work and one in the car, so I'll always have one available. Yes I've forgotten to take it with me and went through withdrawal.
adonit jot pro.... it's amazing stylus for capacitive screen... works well on ipad and galaxy tab... i myself plan to buy one, but i can't buy it because i don't have credit card
How are these stylus (Samsung or Adonit) works on screen protector?
My past experience with the stylus on screen protector hasn't been very positive. The stylus is hard to move and lots of skipping.
Just wondering....

I'm using a China made stylus on my tab with a scratch proof screen protector. It works great although I need to apply just a little pressure sometimes...

Having trouble finding a stylus with a thin tip on it, all I can find are ones with the fat round tip. Trying to use a design program on tab and need precise selections with a stylus and the fat tips aren't cutting it.
Any input will be appreciated.

You might have a look at the Samsung stylus line; the tips appear to be smaller, though it might be their shape. The jot stylus uses a different type of nib altogether - worth ckecking out. And you might try an Amazon search for "brush stylus" and see what pops up. If, I'm not mistaken, capacitve styluses need to have big nibs to function properly. Mibs!

Take a look at the Adonit Jot. It has its own problems but it is the only capacitive stylus I have ever seen that doesn't use a fat, rubber tip. It is excellent for precise drawings.
Now just curious and I hope I'm not barging in on this but... Would a stylus with a thin point be better for use with screen protector? I have yet to find a stylus that claims it works fine with a screen protector
Let me edit this to be more clear: I'm trying to find a Stylus that works well with screen protectors. I have used a couple that my friends have but they all didn't work well. I want one that works well not crappy.
My bro is an art designer and he uses a Wacom stylus which has NO FRICTION, is capacitive and has a thiner point instead of all others

I'd be curious what you think of the Jot. A review would be appreciated.
G.B. Says
And remember, talking dogs are liars.
From what I have found, the only type of stylus that will work with our tabs is a fat one or one with a conductive foam that mimics the finger. The thin smaller ones, like ones used for wacom tablets, use a different type of screen response altogether like the one found in the galaxy note or older palm pilots for example.
As far as working with a screen protector, it requires significantly more pressure and closer to a 90 or perpandicular angle for my griffin stylus to get picked up. Without the protector it works pretty well at most angles. This is only from personal experience with an armorsuit screen protector and a griffin stylus. I'm sure different combinations would produce varying results, but most likely similar to the point of frustration.
If you are looking to legitimately draw and illustrate I'd suggest sticking with a wacom. That's my preference at least.

I own the Jot and have used it on an iPad and an Asus Transformer. I also own an HP TM2 with a digitizer and a Wacom stylus. No capacitive only screen will be as acurate as a tablet with an active digitizer, such as my HP or a Galaxy Note. If you only have a capacitive screen the Jot differs in that it uses a small metal point surrounded by a clear plastic disc instead of a rubber tip, so it is much more precise than other capacitive styluses. However, although I haven't had problems, some people have had issues with the disc wearing out or have claimed that the tip scratched their screen. Just to be safe I only use it on gadgets with Gorilla glass. To sum up, for precise drawings its the best I've found for a capacitive screen, but if you plan on doing serious work get yourself a unit with an active digitizer - if you use a capacitive only screen like the iPad or 7 plus you're basically using finger paints.

Hi, i was thinking on buy the surface pen, but on description says that only works with surface pro, anyone knows if this works or if there is a way to make this pen works on rt ????
Thanks for all
It will not work.. the rt has a captive screen.

The Pro also uses capacitive multitouch. However, it also has an active digitizer for the stylus. The RT doesn't have any stylus digitizer.

That jot pro can hold on a bit since it's magnetic, but it's not super strong.
No, it's not possible at all. The Surface Pro has two layers of touch technology: one for fingers and one for pens, while the RT only has the touch layer.
Any capacitive stylus will work of course. As for whether any clip magnetically I don't know. Some have the little clip at the back like a regular pen so you might find something in whatever case or bag you use to clip a pen onto. I think microsoft should release a capacitive stylus in the same form factor as the surface pro pen.
a wacom chip is found in pro. But this is not in rt. So the pen wont work!

The Samsung Galaxy S3 Galaxy C-Pen Stylus Pen works perfectly with the 8.4" Tab S. Though the product specs say it works only on S3, I tried it wit the Tab S and it just glided.
The pen looks premium with a metal body and a hard tip. The hard tip gives it a nice feel while writing as compared to the usual hollow rubber tips.

I can tell you do not get the Wacom Bamboo Fineline. Apparently in this case, when the box says it's for ipad, they mean it. It's bluetooth and it paired with the tablet, but even using one of the special apps that are made specially to work with wacom styli (Bamboo Paper), this didn't work any better than a $9 Targus slim 6mm. If you hold the pen exactly perpendicular, the tablet registers the point. If you hold the pen like a human being at an angle to the surface, the tablet registers a point 2 or 3 mm away from where the point touches the surface, in the direction that the pen leans. Garbage. So I have a Samsung C-pen coming in the mail from ebay. Probably the only time I'm glad I have relatives who own ipads. haha
Hi Guys,
does anyone know if the Note 3 stylus would work?
No the S-pen does not work at all. Yes I tried, I have a note2 and note3. S-pen requires special digitizer hardware behind the screen.

ETCS10CSE Silver Spare C Pen Stylus ?
How has it been for you? Smooth? Accurate? Does it make any sound when gliding? leave any smudges, marks? Because going by the reviews on: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...&keywords=ETCS10CSE+Silver+Spare+C+Pen+Stylus
It has an equal amount of negative reviews of it saying pressing too hard or rubber tore off etc etc. So this can be completely unusable for some Samsung devices?

The thin tip does not allow for much give and also the tip does bend under slightest pressure. Thats why I prefer wider tip stylus. I have tested numerous pens, and the cheapest 1,- EUR thingies turned out to be as good as the most expensive ones, if not better. The Wacom Bamboo works nicely too, though it is a bit heavy for my likings.

I can't seem to find 'EUR' stylus, Wacom Bamboo I heard lots of negative reviews of it, its all mixed reviews actually lol.
I've been searching everywhere but aside from the montblanc ($500!!) pen I cannot find a 2 in 1 s-pen replacement that has the s-pen nib on one side and an actual ink pen on the other side. Lots of cheap stylus / ink pen options but no real s-pen alternatives. Something like the wacom pen but also with ink on the other end would be great. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/wacom-b...bled-tablets-black/8282053.p?id=1218868675100

You have to make sure the Wacom pen works with Note 4. I know that Surface Pro 3 doesn't work with Wacom since 3 because MS went with some other digitizer system with SP3.

A DYI version would be to take a pen or pencil and wrap a light thin conductive thread around the opposite side that has the ink or lead. Make sure the thread goes at least to wear your fingers touch to complete the circuit. Touch screen pen that also is a actual pen. Cost should be around $3CAN.
