I was wondering if any of you knew of a larger compatible stylus for the Note 4 I could purchase. I don't want to use one that has a fat capacitive end like all those cheap styluses I see on the internet, I'm talking about a larger stylus with the same functionality of the S-Pen.
Pretty sure the Wacom specific stylus' work. Here is one specific for the note line, but I think others work as well.

The first notes used to have the pen accessory that came with a styles and it slipped into a "pen" sized holder. Wish samsung brought that back for our devices.

There are several options:
Most (if not all, because The Note series is using Wacom technology) Wacom styli works
HM-5100 Bluetooth-enabled S Pen
Or the fancy Montblanc Styli
All of those are larger styli that works with our Note 4.
I hope I can help
Edit:
I added links:
You need penabled styli. So the Wacom Intuos will not work, but FE a wacom pen for Microsoft surface will work, and for nealry every tablet PC will work!!

If it's just to write/draw something quickly, I would say the spen is fine. If it's something taking significant time, then you may want something larger.
I personally have not tried anything other than the spen. I've seen pics and read posts where people modified old pens to hold the spen instead of buying a second stylus pen
Are the old note pens compatible with the N4?
I have the Bamboo Feel (non-note) and it's definitely a much nicer feeling pen (with a much more usable button,) than the S-pen. I've only used it on my Surface Pro though.

I'm just using an ampen stylus, and it's a perfect substitute for my finger. Not too pricey, and gets the job done pretty well.

I have the Wacom and the Samsung BT Pen. Both work great. I like the feel of the Wacom best.

Not a Wacom capable stylus. Not really what we are talking about.
I must say, The OEM S Pen that comes with the Note 4 is fantastic.
I have no gripe with it at all. It is light and I have gotten used to the feel of it.
I use it to write many journals into S Notes, writing material, notes, and the occasional doodle if I have time and ... cough "inspiration"
Awesome stuff.

Cross executive stylus. Too bad they don't make them anymore. I take tons of notes with both the Note 4 and Note Pro 12.2 and carry this stylus with me every day. I bought it years ago to use with a Fujitsu tablet pc.

Thanks. Where can I get an Note 4 S-Pen holder? He talks about making one at the end of the video.
"Months Blanc, now you too can be that douche." All jokes asside I like the S Pen, it goes back in the phone so I'm never without it, that's nicer than carrying something around I think.
Hello folks I was going to buy the sammy tab s 10.5, and i found out that there is no S-Pen like Galaxy note series have...
Ive heard some good things about the S pen, i dont know how good they are but looked fine for drawings and note-takings that I do. I definitely need some good, precise stylus that supports palm rejection. i know there is other thread about stylus, but then there was no need for palm rejection in that thread.
If yall know of any stylus with palm rejection, just throw it out there for me. Would tab s 10.5 be compatible with stylis for ipads, such as jot touch 4 and HEX3 Jaja?
Oh, and id I have two bluetooth device for my tablet(i.e: keyboard and stylus), would they work at same time, or do I have to disconnect one to use the other one?
Thanks in advance!

Targus Stylus for Samsung - Black
I am using the Targus Stylus for Samsung with my Tab S 8.4. Works perfect. Precise, fine-tipped and a comparatively harder tip (which doesn't scratch the screen but still gives good control). But there is no palm rejection. I believe palm rejection is app-dependent and available only to the Note devices.

I've been using my c-pen from my old galaxy s3 s in my new tab s 10.5 and it works perfect, very precise and smooth, at least works perfect in S-Note and autodesk sketchbook app :good:
Is this the real deal?
Anyone have any luck with these?
http://www.replacementlcds.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-c-pen-stylus-black/
Is this an actual Samsung C-pen?
Is there any third party S Pen's that are actually fulled sized pens? I'm aware of the Mont Blanc offerings but I don't think they are available atm but have no intention of spending $300 on one.
I use the Note 4 in lectures for school and would appreciate something that could offer a more comfortable writing experience.
I've been looking for one too. Somebody should make one. It is a very popular phone.

You could give this one a try but it is listed for the Note 2 so I'm not sure if it will be fully compatible. If you do try it, please report back
Edit: I also found this one which may be even less compatible from the Amazon reviews but *might* still work.
Well you might find it interesting. But my surface pro 2 pen works with all my notes. And vice versa. Pretty nice.

That means its compatible with any wacom stylus? So the pressure sensitivity is functional with the Surface pen?

Yes,sometime it's funny for those wacom stylus with eraser function work well too.

There quite a few compatible ones on wacom's site.

This is the one I have used on my Note 2, Note 3 Note 10.1, Note 10.1 2014, and can use on my note 4. Performs like the OEM stylus and has the button to activate the s-pen functions. Keep in mind that I only use it for writing and not drawing or artwork.
Hi,
Can anybody give some short review about using Z Stylus for note taking? Not like clumsy poking in to the screen (like all youtube videos) but proper writing, holding stylus like a pen with tablet on a desk.
How prices is it. Also, how responsive the stylus in OneNote, for example. Is there big delay? Can you compare with Samsung Note devices?
Thanks!
(Starting at 2:50)
Still not very clear how good it is.
Its decent doesn't handle angled use very well. Also sears batteries very quickly size AAAA yes, 4 a.

I bought an asus zenpad delux edition which came with the cover and the stylus
The stylus is great to use. As functional as the s-pen of the Samsung note 8 that I owned before but with better ergonomy because it's like a normal pen and not tiny like the Samsung one.
The only drawback I found is that it doesn't have a power off button (the S-Pen doesn't even need a battery). For the sake of immediate use it's great, but since the cover I got has a placeholder for the pen I used it naturally. The drawback is that the way the pen turns on or off is by its proximity with the screen. since the pen was placed on the cover I ran out of the battery in just a couple of day with little real use... And this batteries are very expensive (more than 5€ for a pack of 2 Duracell Ultra)
I hope they find a better drive for the ON/Off feature...
In this video review, the guy says (at 3:18) this tablet DOES NOT support an "active pen". I hope he is mistaken and just means it doesn't support specifically the "S pen". Should a universal active pen work with the Tab A8 T290? I think of buying the pen below, the manufacturer says it should work on any touch screen. The problem is that, if it doesn't work, I won't be able to return, I am in Italy and will send it to my niece in Brazil... so I have to make sure. Thanks if you can help!

"Active" pens, which are battery powered, work with devices that have a digitizer layer on the display. The non-S pen model Tab A won't support those pens.
Instead, you can use the universal non-battery or battery-powered capacitive stylus or pens, like these ones:

I already tried the first one but the experience wasn't good enough for me. The second one is arriving next week & I'm hoping it'll be better.
Coincidently, I already have exactly the first cheaper Meko. I had bought it in order to save money and use it on my Windows Surface 3, it didn't work... I can in fact write a whole sentence with a lot of pain, but not really usable. The bigger soft tip is always responsive, but not nice for note taking. In the end, I had to spend more money and buy the Surface pen (which is very good). I've also tried the cheap Meko on an iPad, it works better, but not really good enough for note taking. I haven't tried it on an Android device, though.
Please let me know if the Meko with the battery works better.
Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately, and against my expectation, the battery-powered Meko pen performed worse! [emoji34] Instead of smooth lines, it was just dots everywhere.
On my iPad, though, it worked flawlessly.
I ended up returning both of the Meko pens.

So you mean the battery-powered Meko worked well on your iPad but not on your other device? Which one is it? Would it be Samsung Tab A8?
I guess it's a matter of luck, these styluses respond differently depending on the device.
I've been testing again the cheaper Meko Stylus (with no battery). These are the devices I've tried:
Surface 3 - very bad, not usable. 1 star.
iPad 4 - it could be used, but very painfully, not practical. 2 stars.
iPad 6 (2018) - very good, not great. It is usable to take important notes, like school notes. 4 stars.
Huawei P20 pro - very similar to iPad 6, responds very well. 4 stars.
Cheap Android phone (Leagoo) - very bad, 1 star.
I'm thinking of trying my luck on that "AICase Active Stylus Pen" (the one I put the link before, you can find in Amazon Italy)... it's an active stylus for 25 euros with a glove to rest the palm on the screen.
Thanks for you answer.... and please let me know if you find some good stylus for Samsung Tab A8 T290.

On my iPad, both of the Meko pens worked well - 4/5 for the disc-based one, and 5/5 for the battery one.
On my Tab A, the disc one worked better than the battery one - 3 vs 1.
I found this pen on Amazon for the Tab A that has good reviews:

I was about to state that ALL "active stylii" require a second digitizer to work but apparently that isn't totally true. I bought a BoxWave stylus to use with my HP Envy X360 laptop, and just to verify that it wouldn't work without the second digitizer, like the ones for the S-Pen, I tried it with my T510. I have never used a stylus for drawing, so I don't know if it works as well as an S-Pen for that, but it DOES work and it DOES produce a "ballpoint pen" type line. Their "MSRP" is fairly high, but if you shop around, you can get one fairly cheap. I got mine in eBay for about $20. New with free shipping.
My "AICase Active Stylus" (from Amazon Italy) just arrived. It works very well, except that the glove that comes with it is useless, you can still use your finger to write with the glove on. I'm struggling to find some material that I can use to rest my palm... It's very uncomfortable to write without being able to rest your palm on the screen.
I would say it's a bit better than the passive Meko Stylus, especially for the iPad 4, which has an older screen. It has a metal tip, so you should have a screen protector to prevent scratches.
I've tried on these devices:
Surface 3 - doesn't work, it makes a few lines, but not good at all.
iPad 4 - works well enough
iPad 6 - very good, works a bit better than on the iPad 4
Huawei P20 pro - works similarly to iPad 6
I still haven't tried on a Samsung tablet.
