Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had had any joy using a ds stylus (one of the xl pen ones) on the transformer?
(I just ask because it seems to be a bit hit and miss due to the ds stylus designed for resistive screens and a lot of tablets having Capacitive screens and also because the ds stylus may stratch? (will be using a screen protector though))
The capacitive stylus look, well a bit too clunky to work with on handwriting and a point looks more comfortable and easy to use.
Any other suggestions would be great
many thanks
Won't work. Not capacitive.
Look in this very subforum for the Adonit Jot.

Ive been wanting a stylus to use on my g-tablet for a while, especially since I got swype working. Anybody have any good suggestions?

I picked up an ipad stylus at bestbuy that has worked quite well.
The only Stylus I have isn't what I expected, its a soft rubber that emulates a finger touch. Feels weird and I can't draw with it. Is there a hard tipped stylus out their that will work?
I have been using the DAGi Capacitive Stylus. It has a unique transparent plastic round flat tip, so that you can see through the tip and it doesn't obscure the area you are touching with the stylus. There is a little red dot in the middle of the flat tip that essentially is the contact point for the stylus. It takes a while to get used to, but it is pretty good for drawing apps. I've been trying out Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile for drawing.
I also tried the Acase 2nd generation stylus, which has a soft rubber hollow tip. I found I really have to press down hard with that stylus to get it to register well.
However, as I have installed the Skinomi screen protector on the gTablet, that extra layer seems to reduce the sensitivity of a stylus. I think a stylus would work better without a screen protector, but I really like the protection and reduced fingerprint mess with the Skinomi so it's a trade-off.
I recommend 3M Smartpen. Here's my video on it with the g tab: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6y6Aqx3W7U
I'm on TNT lite 4.4
I have used the Targus but took it back and bought the Dagi.
Better, especially for drawing.
I went ahead and bought a Ten One Pogo Sketch stylus, but I think I might also buy the Dagi, that is a great design. I'll let you guys know how the Pogo is.
The absolute best stylus for the G-tab is the just mobile alupen.
Seriously, just check out YouTube.

ahhh gary, i wish i read this before i purchased my Acase! I was reading a lot of excellent reviews for the Acase so I bought it and sure enough, it works well in most applications but NOT on top of a thick screen protector like Skinomi. It's practically useless for me now unless I take off the screen protector, which I am very hesitant to do just for a stylus.
How does your DAGi capacitive stylus hold up against your Skinomi protector?

The DAGi stylus does register better than the Acase stylus through the Skinomi screen protector. Still not responsive enough in my opinion for fluent handwriting or artwork, but does work OK for simple "clicking". Too bad, as I really like how the Skinomi protector reduces fingerprint mess.
DAGi has several stylus models, so I may try another with a more flexible bendy tip.
I can't wait to try the Wacom stylus whenever that makes it to retail.

I was thinking of attaching a tip on the opposite end of the scribe pen so that I can turn it backwards and use it as a touchscreen stylus. Any suggestions as to what would be the best item to use. I know on the ones I have seen in the stores the tip has a spongy bounce to them but the are a rubber material.
Capacitive rubber comes in sheets or tubing. There's also capcitive foam, but it won't be as durable.
The trick is the adhesive, you need to male sure enough of the material touches the aluminum pen.
Or maybe plastic film protector for the screen, which seems to conduct electricity.
Thanks for the info. It is too bad they didn't fix the other end of the pen to be used as a regular stylus. If I find something that works I will post back here with it.
I'm also looking for such a conductive rubber thing for the other end of the pen. I think a ideal solution would be a conductiv rubber tip or something similar which can be pulled over the end of the pen and sits tight (could easily be removed for battery changes). Unfortunately I haven't found such a thing til now.
Someone at XDA did find a capacitive tip which they were able to stretch over the cap... I forget which user, but it was in one of the early threads. Maybe the wacom capacitive stylus would work, it looks like the proper diameter.
Two suggestions
I have 3 (edit) suggestions
1. Buy a cheap stylus, cut off the capacitive head and afix it to the top of the HTC pen. I found these at $2.60 for three. You have 3 tries to get it right.

2. Ideally, if you can find a metal cap with a capacitive head that fits over the HTC Pen, you would have an elegant solution. If something like this fit, it would be great.

I found this too: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1004382302/more-real-stylus-cap
edit #3. this just in... What about this touch tip? http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/truetip/Detail?no=48 - (edit #2) NOPE these are NOT capacitive caps. sorry
Maybe I'll experiment with my back up fujitsu pen.
hmmmm
From the TrueTip website...
*TrueTip styli currently only work on resistive (pressure sensitive) touch screen devices.
Our styli do not work on an iPhone, Droid or similar conductive touch screen devices.
We hope to have a stylus solution for these devices soon - Please check back!*
I have one of the 2-in-1 pens fory iPad and they do work... The problem is that you would be carrying two pens for your device, which is what this thread is trying to solve.
I briefly read that the Sharpie marker caps seem to fit the Scribe pen. They make a metal version of that marker, but then you're back to metal on glasss... But would probably be easier to wrap with plastic film.

I am not sure I explained myself well. I meant if it fits, take the stylus cap off the 2 in 1 and put it on the flyer pen. Then you will be carrying one stylus that serves both functions.

Ok. So I should probably clarify, my pen 2-in-1 is the push button type which allows the tipto be retracted.
I like the kickstart product... In your post.
Hello,
1. There are many cases that has a front cover easily opened (e.g. those iPad-like case and the Samsung book cover, Samsung cover with keyboard, Logitech Pro). My question is when dropped or during drop, don't these covers open automatically and leave the screen/front of the device unprotected?
2. Given the Samsung Keyboard and Logitech PRO keyboard, which one do you choose? Ideally if automatic on/off function is available.
3. How good is the Samsung cover compared with the Samsung cover with keyboard?
4. In general, is it better to buy a case with the keyboard than to buy a separate case and a separate keyboard (choose the best from each world).
Thanks.
I cannot answer all of those, but I do prefer using an all in one unit *if* I am going to use a keyboard. The logitech is the best "feeling" keyboard out there, and no it does not have on/off capabilities. The Sammy one however is very thin, but offers no folio, it's also a great keyboard. Zagg vs. Samsung is no comparison, while the idea is the same, the Zagg can't compete with the Samsung at any level.
Thanks. Is the logitech one noticeably heavier than the sammy one? Note that sammy made two cases for the PRO 12.2. One with a keyboard and the other without.
There is no comparison, the Logitech keyboard is considerably larger than the Samsung. It is a folio and the Sammy is not. My biggest complaint with the Sammy is that the tablet doesn't fit in the case glass side up. So when using the tablet with the Samsung case if not using the keyboard, it's just the tablet on its own. With the large size and plastic back, there are a couple spots which "creak" when pressing on them. I am certain it's no big deal, but it does make the tablet feel cheaper than its price.

I got the Zagg keyboard cover case today from best buy and have been very pleased with it so far. The BB store reps let me try all 3 cases. The Samsung, Zagg and Logitech case. The Sammy is $30 more than the Zagg and seemed a little flimsy to me. The Logitech seemed a little to bulky compared to the other two cases and $30 more as well. Imo the Zagg was the best compromise for me, in terms of price, thickness, protection and quality.
Edit. The Zagg keyboard allows you to fit the tablet in the case, glass side up or down.
Anyone using a good stylus with palm rejection that they recommend. I've tried to find a good one for taking notes on the sm-t530nu but haven't been successful confirming which ones actually work. I was wondering if anyone here had a stylus they used with an app that offers palm rejection for taking notes and which would be good to use. I don't like the cheap rubber nubs, was looking for more of a stylus like the bamboo smart or the dot-pen.
Hi Guys,
for those who use the m-pen, is there anyway or tip replacements that make the thing less slippery?
it is the most slippery stylus out of everything i've used (apple pencil, surface pen, note stylus, tab stylus). It makes it very unpleasant to use especially since it's being used on a comparatively small screen.
Does anyone know if there's anything I can stick or apply on the tip to make it more grippy? I'm thinking of using some sort of glue but don't know if that will hinder the pen functionality.
thanks in advance
