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!

Thanks for that GB says, I'll look into and post back my findings. Thanks again for your input.

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
It's the WACOM BAMBOO STYLUS http://www.wacom.eu/index2.asp?pid=...utm_content=it&utm_campaign=bamboo_stylus_duo, check it out dude

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.

Does anyone else here use the "Hidden" feature of the s5, where it can use various items as a stylus? If so what do you use? For example I have been using a #2 graphite pencil as a precise stylus with the snote app and it's pretty cool. I'm curious to find out if other XDA users use this feature because I just ditched my n3 after seeing and using it. Also as a side note I use the iloome flex and plastic body pens don't work. Metal body ones may scratch your screen protector because it might be a rough metal ball. I used a pencil after testing and they do not scratch the screen (it's graphite hardness of 1 ) so I scratched my screen protector avoid scratching yours if you are going to test. Mechanical pencils (metal body) of .9 thickness work but don't let the metal lead holder scratch your screen.
sweet drawings dude
I just got the Adonit Mini Jot in the mail a few days ago, I love it. Small, compact, only downside is the tip is so accurate it can snap off and be replaced and since its glass (see through) theyre hard to find. They do sell replacements though.

Have you tried a standard pencil with the s note app? I found that with the snote note app you can use any pencil or mostly metal object when it's in app. But if you turn on extra sensitivity you can use the metal objects / pencils anywhere in the ui. I find it intriguing that Samsung doesn't talk about this feature but it's amazing. In short if you want to use a pencil stylus anywhere in the phone turn on extra Sensitivity, but if you only want it for writing the s note app is free.

I used their stylus almost 2 years ago and a quick peek at their website recently shows they released a few new ones. Let me know what you think of the mini jot.
I completely agree. It may be my favorite S5 feature. I use a mini golf pencil and it works wonderfully. It is an amazing combination with the DraStic DS emulator.
I read about this when I first got the phone but wasn't sure about the pencil so I didn't even really try it.
Well, I just did...and holy crap. That works REALLY well. It struggles with my E's, T's and I's when writing but drawing is phenomenal.
Now I have a use for that mechanical pencil that's been sitting in my pen cup on my desk for years lol
Thanks OP
this is amazing.
now all I have to do is learn to draw

Glad you liked it
Just be a little wary of the lead holder tips. For example the zebra mechanical pencils as they can scratch the screen or screen protector. I have yet to find my co workers 1.1 mm thickness full metal mechanical pencil to use as a stylus.
Been messing around with a good, small solution and this is what I came up with. Bobby Pin + Butchered DS Stylus:
Plan to work on it a bit more to make a more elegant solution. Just make sure the blob at the bottom of the bobby pin fully covers the metal.
I use my Samsung C-Pen ... I have had it for years.

Do you still have a spare spen to test? I ask because I have a Ativ tab 7 with a spen and I was wondering if the nib was big enough to be recognized. I don't mean have a Wacom digitizer either, I just see others here are writing with pencils, so I was hoping it would be sensitive enough to recognize the nib of the spen too.

I have a stylus looks like that too , work perfectly with this screen , even a metal stick will work :v
Samsung Galaxy S3 Galaxy C-Pen Stylus Pen works with Tab S
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.

So I'm planning on getting the same pen I think?
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

Searching since months a similar product, but unfortunately until now without success....

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.
I have the Wacom "Bamboo Stylus feel" and he works perfect with the SGN4, but this stylus has no additional ball pen...

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.

That's significantly more reasonable. Thanks!
After using the S6 over the weekend a few times, I'm almost sure I will lose the pen unless I buy a case that covers it. While I like the idea of how it sits on the back of the tablet slightly indented they should have made the magnet the whole pen instead of just the pointer area. Its not strong enough to hold it in place from an accidental hand bump etc.
I have the keyboard cover on order (arriving Friday). I'm being extra cautious with the pen until that arrives. It doesn't take much of a bump to knock it off.

I agree that the method of stowing the stylus this year is terrible. On the other hand, in previous years the stylus couldn't be stowed at all, so in that sense, it's an improvement.
The keyboard cover, on the other hand, is a big improvement on the design of previous years. With that, the stylus can be very safely transported.
Duct tape fixes everything. Or for a more permanent solution, a little JB Weld and your S-Pen isn't going anywhere. Ever.
So i got my tab yesterday, at first Ithought the attachment wasn't bad, but then after using for the day Ihave to say Itoo am very dissapointed in the spen attachment. This is nearly as dangerous as the oriignal apple pencil pluggin into the bottom port of the ipad to charge. Do the people that design these things actually try to use them?

The Note phones somehow have enough room to store the S-Pen inside. Why can't they find the room on a 10" tablet? I know the pen is thicker but I think most people would trade a slightly thinner pen for a way to securely store it.
If you're actively using the device but not the pen it'll also stick to the lower right side of the device in portrait mode. Not a great solution, but I find it easier to have it there and not accidently knock it off like when it's on the back. It doesn't charge in this location, but that shouldn't be an issue since this pen uses a battery with longer life then the capacitor style like the Note 9 was. Or I just toss it on the table/couch/whatever near me if I'm at home or work. Within reach when I want it, but not going to fall off when I absentmindedly grab the tablet in the wrong way.
I'm waiting on my keyboard cover to arrive and then I don't think it being on the back will be a big deal anymore. Kind of sucks that's where it has to go to charge because I liked my case for my S3 that held it to the left of the screen in the hinge of the screen cover part basically. Sucks they've never made a more permanent solution, and this is the first time it actually has a storage spot, but so long as the devices get thinner and thinner I don't see them putting it inside like on the Notes since they want the tablet pens to be more ergonomically friendly.
I lost my S-Pen early in. One solution was using an Otterbox. The Tab could be secured to the tablet cover/stand, face-up, so the pen is secured.
In the interim, I am using a spare pen from a Fujitsu Lifebook tablet.

Has anybody ever succeeded in buying a full-function replacement pen from Samsung? I tried to buy a spare one when I bought the Tab S6, but all I got was a glazed stare from the salesperson. Would be nice if Samsung at least tried to make up for the sucky magnet. ;-DeanoD
