I am looking for the best stylus for use with the prime. I read the best stylus was the 'jot pro' so i bought it and i am not at all satisfied with it. I can write better with my finger in the asus note app.
its also really awkward to write with, with the disc an all.
What is a better alternative?
This one is very good in my opinion, since it works at any angle to the surface unlike its rubber tip counterparts.

thanks looking forward to getting this
i too bought the jot pro, returned it after 2 days. bought a targus and like it quite a bit better
i bought a bamboo one, am returning it. I'm gonna give the targus a shot.
Anyone know of a stylus that works great with a skinomi screen protector?
Just a heads up guys, after the firmware update, it looks like the jotpro works 10x better. I was about to box it up and return and gave it one more try, its now my favorite..
I have the bamboo one on the way from amazon, I'll see which I like better.
Boxwave，i am currently using this on my ipad.
EDIT：I have changed my mind，i got a free stylus with leather case for my TP from Ebay UK.
that free stylus better than boxwave. unbelievable，i cost more than 10pounds got Boxwave from Amazon UK，but a free stylus from China with high quality better than Boxwave.
Strange, and the idea was to get rid of the stylus hence adding a screen that can handle 10 fingers at once. I still think the stylus is old school technology and I can't find a thing at all why I would need one on my Prime. Now, if you bought your Prime just for taking notes...that's a lot of money just for taking notes.

if you bought the prime for just 1 thing, then its expensive for just one thing. i have a job where i am taking notes in meetings every day. pages and pages. it would be great to have them all filed digitally on my prime.
i didn't buy it just for that, don't be so closed minded, but its something i want to use it for. i can't take pages and pages of notes with my finger.

Who's buying these things just to take notes? That assumption is a bit of a stretch. 10 flailing sausages excel at some things, but lack the precision required for artistic endeavors or scrawling legible text in a timely manner. The stylus persists for the same reason that typing persists in lieu of voice-to-text. None are perfect for every activity/situation.
If anything, someone who uses a stylus with their tablet has the potential to engage in an even broader array of activities than their counterparts.
...and digital notes rawk, btw.

I can echo this report also, my jotpro was 'ok' before the last firmware, but after it is much better, i can actually add it to my workflow. I was also about to send it back.
I tried the bamboo, it doesn't work with the prime very well. Compare it to using on an ipad and you will know what I mean. With the prime you have to press down with so much pressure it feels like it will distort the bamboo tip. And it is very hard to maintain sufficient pressure for it to maintain contact. Ends up making dashed lines instead of solid lines. On the ipad it is smooth as butter.
I'm reading this thread as I'd like to consider using my prime with various sketch progs at work, as well as draw doodles and notes in meetings, pretty cool to just email notes with sketches right from the meeting, very useful,and a nice added feature....what are you guys using your stylus for?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
i use it for software design diagrams, website layout ideas, "chicken scratches" for later real photoshop work
i'm an architect, and in the 1.5 weeks i've had the Prime and a stylus i'm realizing how useful of a tool it can be; sketching, marking up photos from job sites, etc.
the update this past weekend has definitely improved stylus input with my jot pro.
What note taking software are you guys using with the jot pro? super note?

Haven't got my Prime yet (tomorrow) but I asked the same question...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395587
Seems SuperNote, Quill and WritePad Stylus are the best...
I plan on taking notes from meetings, extensive notes....and minor sketches, and freehand designing...
with the recent firmware update. my targus stylus actually works now! works with the skinomi screen protector.
Can anyone provide links for the jotpro and any other that work really well...
And does anyone have a jotpro and any other's to compare against after the firmware update?
I saw http://www.amazon.com/BoxWave-Slimline-Capacitive-Transformer-Stylus/dp/tech-data/B006GM57MC
Does this worth even looking at/trying out? (For $10, it's cheap enough but I don't wanna waste my time).
I really wanna use this for notes. Both for classes (math/econ, kb for most other classes) and meetings. And some sketching... among other things.
Thanks in advance!
I would prefer a smaller nib. Really need some way to write notes other than my finger thats for sure...lol

I saw an interesting looking iPad stylus in PC World/Currys today in the UK. It had a small tip. It was reasonably price too. I was wondering what others experience of using this stylus on their TF was like if anyone has tried it.
Some other user experience below.
http://www.avforums.com/forums/ipad-accessories/1461926-good-cheap-stylus-found.html
You can't see it but from my inspection it looked like the tip is angled for more precise writing and has a flatter side for just tapping.
http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/iwantit-stylus-pen-black-for-iphone-ipod-touch-07110176-pdt.html
I bought one of these styluses when I first brought my transformer, initial impressions were that it was ok, there is a bit of friction when using it for handwriting but it is ok for drawing.
Because I wanted it for handwriting, it was not good enough for me so I purchased one of the Boxwave ones, this one was more accurate and although not as thin as the PC World one, worked better for handwriting.
I am now using the Wacom Bamboo Stylus and this one has the tip of the Currys/PC World one i.e. the size is small and about the same size but has the smoothness of the Boxwave. The design of the Wacom is far better as it feels like a real pen in the hand although they could have made it slightly longer. Price wise the Wacom is the most expensive however, after wasting money on all the other styluses that I have tried, I dont think I will be buying another stylus anytime soon as this one fits the bill nicely. The Wacom one works flawlessly on the Ipad but there currently are software limitations on Honeycomb that do not allow the stylus to work as smoothly as they do on the Ipad. I am sure the software on Honeycomb will improve over time and be on par with their rivals.
I'm gonna give this one a try when my TF comes back from repair. Assuming my TF is all good to go that is.

Try Adonit Jot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275690&page=31)
I just ordered it.. hopefully it will be as good as the reviews say!
Has anyone tried this one
http://www.amazon.ca/Proporta-Quillit-Stylus-ASUS-Transformer/dp/B005CDRDRS
looks like a good quality stylus. For someone living in Canada, this is a good option.
For the jot pro you have to pay a lot of shipping fees.
I bought the stylus listed at the top and modified it to fit inside of a hollowed out pen tube. It still sucks IMO, it doesn't pick up as well as a larger tipped stylus, and still doesn't feel natural.
I highly recommend it. It is by far the best one out there. Way better than the new dagi p602. It's incredible. I'm amazed how much better it is than everything else I have tried.

A lot of people have been asking about the conductive grease. The following is the one I use and it works great. Also cheap.
http://www.amazon.com/Gardner-Bender-OX-100B-Anti-Oxidant-Compound/dp/B000BODU66/ref=pd_sim_e_16
You can also find conductive grease at local hardware stores, like home depot. Just ask an associate. I think you can get one as cheap as like $1.75.
Where do they sell it? The website only shows preorders
Also.. what's the different between jot and jot pro....is it just the grip?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
You can "preorder" to order right now. Someone's been too lazy to update the website.
The only difference between the jot and jot pro is the pro has a magnet for you to stick it to the ipad. For our purposes, just get the jot.
I've been using it. Holy cow, it feels 99% like a real pen with ink. It's incredible how good the damn thing is. Insanely accurate, too.

Just never mind. Go with the typical fat-ass rubber tip. Or even better. Go get an ipad.
I tried a few different stylus, but on the TF these stylus' did not perform anything like a pen.
I realized I am looking for a digitizer, not a capacitive touch stylus, which are two different technologies.
I am looking for a "dual" tablet, with capacitive touch and digitizer.

I own half a dozen different styli, including the dagi p500s and p600s. My problem with the dagi is that they all go dead in about 2 months. I had this happen to me to several dagi styli, and I'm not the only one who has experienced this.
That said, the biggest plus about the adonit jot is that there's no friction between the stylus and the glass. It really does feel like using a pen.

Return your Transformer and get the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet. It has both capacitive touch and a digitizer, and an optional keyboard dock.
Having owned a tablet PC in the past with an actual Wacom digitizer, there is no comparison, even with the best capacitive stylus that money can buy. Don't waste your time with capacitive-only devices if you're going to be doing a lot of work with handwriting or drawing.

Well, might I dare say that your experiences with capacitive styli in the past never included an adonit jot, since it just came out just now?
I've worked with a wacom digitizer before, too. Trust me on this. There's a reason why I posted this thread. The adonit jot really does feel like a real pen. And might I dare say that it actually feels better than a digitizer.
What puzzles me is why no big brand names have done enough research to come to this point before. We had to wait for this no-name company to have done enough research to provide us with something as wonderful as this.
I know, you probably don't believe me how good this stylus feels. Try it. I'm not kidding when I said this feels 98% or so like a real pen. The response and accuracy are simply astonishing.

It's not about feel and accuracy, it's about additional features built into the pen and digitizer. Capacitive screens don't offer pressure sensitivity, and the pen only has one business end. Arists and designers need pressure sensitivity and at least an "eraser" end on the pen in order to do their work quickly and efficiently, and it's even better if the pen has some built-in programmable buttons. The Adonit can get the job done for the occasional doodle and handwritten note, but some people rely on a pen for 40+ hours of their week, which is why digitizers exist in the first place.

You're right, of course, in this respect. I should have have said for all intents and purposes of a capacitive device such as the TF, the adonit jot stylus is perhaps the best option for hand written notes and art works.
As far as responses and feel, I still say the adonit jot feels and gets a better response from the tf than the digitizer pen I have worked with in the past. This really is an amazing product.
I've been researching on amazon, YouTube and etc for a good stylus for my future prime. Since I never purchase a stylus before and have no clue which to get can you guys recommend me a good one? From personal experience...
Jot Pro and iFaraday
I myself have done ton of research and it came down to those 2.
Jot Pro if you want take notes and want to be very accurate.

Thanks i'm interested in the iFaraday but it seems like they aren't taking any order till the 19th. Which one have you tired diesel?
I just received my Jot Pro yesterday and so far I am liking it a lot more than any other stylus on the market (and I have tried quite a few). Very accurate, and feels great in your hand.
My only grip is that I wish it had a clip to 1) keep it from rolling off the table if you forget to "dock" it with the magnet, and 2) so it could better sit/clip to a shirt pocket.
Aside from that minor annoyance, it is a quality stylus.

I feel like this would have to be written specifically into whatever app you're writing on-- ignoring the first thing if multiple touches are registered or something along those lines.

I would like ot have this functionality, but am worried about the multi touch thing. On this I think I will wait for a few reviews of the note taking before I grab a stylus. Someone who has a stylus, or more specifically the Jot, put up a review on how it works with the Prime please once you get it.

I have read an article that said that palm canceling was baked into ICS along with other stylus features, some of which will require hardware.
I hope it ends up working like it does when using a digitizer.....how I wish the prime had digitizer hardware! Per pixel accuracy and no palm/hand issues, along with erasing.

I would be careful with those. Friend got a cheap capacitive stylus for his phone, and it's sticking to the screen. I bought a fancier one (kingston I think), and while I have my complaints, it glides MUCH better on the screen.

Writepad has palm rejection. Also for other apps - hide your palm in your sleeve so it doesn't register as touch.

I'd cancel your Boxwave order and get the jot pro. Yes it can be noisier, but it writes 100x better. SMOOOTH and accurate. Seriously, there is no comparison between the two.
Does anyone have the Jot or Jot Pro stylus, and if so, have you had any issues with scratches on the screen or diminished accuracy after a few weeks of use.
Is there any metal that protrudes from the plastic disc that could scratch the screen?
I have seen several comments in other places where people have said the Jot stylus has scratched their display (Amazon has a commentor that has posted a photo of the scratches caused). And I have read that the accuracy is not as good after a few weeks use.
I have done some research and contacted the manufacturer (which replied very quickly). The explanation seems to be that dirt on the screen can cause the scratches and that the plastic tip can get loose/worn out. Apparently there may have been some defective tips early on.
*****
This is an excerpt from my email to Adonit:
I really want to buy a Jot Pro but I am apprehensive to spend $30 if it is
going to scratch my screen, or if it is not going to work as well after a
couple weeks of use. These issues seem to be common in review comments I
have read online.
I read one review comment that said there is "a metal protrusion in the
center of the disk. It’s very noticeable." I thought the disk was plastic.
If there is a metal protrusion I can see how it could scratch the screen...
Have these issues been resolved since the Jot and Jot Pro were first
introduced? If so, what has been done to resolve the problem?
I have a tablet with gorrilla glass (Asus Transformer Prime) on order, but
even with gorilla glass, I don't want to chance scratching up my brand new
tablet.
Please advise. Thanks!
*****
And this is their reply:
We have tested our product extensively, and the precision disk has proven to be very safe, even after prolonged use.
However, a sharp piece of sand or grit pressed very firmly between the Jot disc and the screen will probably scratch it, so take care to maintain a clean iPad screen. If the screen is not clear of debris, it will become scratched with the use of any stylus, or even just your finger.
We don't want you to worry, so if you think it will be a problem for you, we highly recommend that you use a screen protector to protect your screen from environmental dust and grit. Please be aware that Jot does not work well with the following screen protectors, due to their extra grip surface.
* Zagg Glossy Invisible Shield (but Smudge-Proof Invisible Shield works well)
* Ghost Armor
* Bodyguardz
* Skinomi
* Wrapsol
Glossy protectors are the least compatible with the Jot. We suggest looking at the Power Support Anti-Glare screen protector; we've heard that it works brilliantly with the Jot.
We are here if you have any further questions.
*****
Anyway, I thought the info in Adonit's reply would be useful regarding screen protectors, etc and I really would love to hear from Jot or Jot Pro owners regarding their experiences with it.
.
I have been thinking of ordering an Adonit Jot Pro stylus for the Samsung 7.7. I asked the vendor in ebay about it's compatibility with the samsung 7.7 and I was informed it is not compatible.
Has anyone ordered the Jot pro? If so, It'll be really good if someone could write a review on the performance of jot pro on the 7.7. Thanks.
From Adonit webiste:
Compatible with all capacitive touch screens: iPads, iPhones, MacBook Trackpads, Magic Trackpads, HTC, Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, Blackberry.

This answers your question. So this will even work with any capacitive-screen phone.
http://youtu.be/E-untpEM9mo
I read a blog review of this stylus and they mentioned that it didn't work well with certain screen protectors.
I'm going to order one later I think, thanks for the heads up
Edit - maybe not, just read some Amazon reviews...
They look silly with the suck cup like thing on the tip we need ics to hopefully be able to use a regular pen like stylus
Using Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800
just bought a jot today
it is not working well with my 7.7
i don't think it's the matter of the screen protector
have to tap real hard for one successful response, which makes annoying tapping sound
i have dagi P507 and P301, both work quite well instead
I got my jot pro today. It took 13 days to reach me. Quite a long wait. But it was worth it. The moment I received it, I tried it with Supernote. It works flawlessly. Only regret is the lack of palm detection.
I also tried it with TabNotes pro. Works even better. There was no noticeable lag in the input, and I'd rate the precision of this stylus at 8/10, which I'd say is pretty impressive.
For everyone's info I've installed touch screen tune. Haven't tried without it. Will uninstall touch screen tune and post the difference.

I guess the digitizer would make the tablet thicker but nothing betters a WACOM -- it just works. No clicking, is pressure sensitive, has eraser function and on and on.
i got my jot pro a few days ago and had a blast with it. and while it's not pin-point accurate, it's miles better than any 'usual' stylus I've tried. works great with the super note app and sketchbook pro.

Given the screens highly sensitive nature I don't think you have to worry about scratching it with the metal ring, since you won't have to press that hard. It also has a smaller tip that provides greater accuracy even though this device can recognize capacitive objects as small as ~2.5mm^2 (I've tested it).
The mesh allows it to glide without any real issue, plus adds a great deal of durability since it won't wear out like foam or rubber tipped ones.
After a long wait till the prices came down I have upgraded to a note pro from a 10.1 2012 edition. I love it so far. I have been using Taobao for a while to buy various accessories Using Yoybuy as a shipping agent. I got my genuine samsung keyboard £30 it is the real thing. The only difference is the box and instructions is in Chinese. I started to look at spens. I found wacom bamboo stylus feel Selling for $1.64 I do have one as I am a designer and I have ordered a couple. It is worth a look for cases etc. Google translate comes in handy.
$1.64 for the stylus sounds wrong. Maybe it's a knockoff?

yes it does seem like an amazing price. I bought a couple so will keep you posted. I can always turn them into spen holders! Though I did get a bargain atomgsm.Co.uk are selling off all the samsung moschino and kirkwood offical note pro flip covers for only £11.69 I do like the black kirkwood one.
Link for kirkwood/moschino cases it is a UK company they are selling their note 3 cases and s5 cases cheap too.

The Wacom technology is patented, so it's no doubt a fake.
Still, if it works, it's probably still cheaper to just toss it in the bin when it breaks after a month or two and get a new one, you could do about 40 months for the price of the original.

There are a lot of fakes on the site mainly flip covers. But you can tell as the inner lining is always grey no matter what colour. A lot of generic spens definitely fake. Though there are originals as well.
The cheapest price I could get for an original samsung keyboard case here in the uk is $122. But got an original one from there for less than half the price Including shipping. I also got an original samsung bluetooth spen the one you can receive calls from For $24. It came out with the original note 10.1 2012. The price never really came down Works a treat with the note pro. Plus it comes with the full range of spen nibs from soft rubber to hard plastic. Which I got with my old note 10.1 2012 but sadly with my note pro just standard tips. If you are an artist or a designer the different nibs as well as calibration of the pen make a difference that's why I have a few pens.
But you are probably right about the wacom pen I am not holding my breath but it was worth the gamble.

Both, which is why I have 3 Bamboo Feels and 3 Spens for the same reason.
But I'm still miffed that my Intuos pen won't work on it. Different tech, I know; a girl can dream, right?
I've got a ton of stuff from china as well, some of it original, but for the serious accessories I prefer something with a warranty and quality certifications. The EU has a much, much higher legal quality demand than the US, let alone Asia. (You can notice the difference in the build quality of phones and tablets.)
Still, somtimes the low price is worth the shorter lifespan.

I thought intuos pen would work too but no joy either. Any other pens you could recommend? I have spen with eraser, bamboo feel, bt spen, note 3 pen 10.1 2011. Is it worth getting the spen holder or going for another bamboo feel? A girl can't have too many pens. The spen I got with my note pro the calibration was completely off the nibb sticks.......Hopefully a new nibb will sort it.
Any tips on drawing on the note or apps would be appreciated as there is always something new to discover.

What I did do was place the second rubber grip I got with the Intuos pen over the Bamboo feel. Bit of a tight fit, but now I've got a Bamboo pen with a very comfortable grip! (It doesn't look very pretty, but oh well.)
Haven't found a solution for the button yet, but it does make holding it whilst drawing much easier.
Haha, yea, I had to recalibrate all but one of the Bamboo pens. Nearly lost the button for the original Spen to the carpet in the process!
I've never tried the Spen holder, truth be told.
Here's a couple of apps to give a try :
Artflow: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bytestorm.artflow
Infinite Painter: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
Can't forget our best friend's baby brother: Photoshop Touch! Tablet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.adobe.pstouch Phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.adobe.pstouchphone (I sideloaded the tablet variant onto my Note 3 because I prefer landscape for Photoshop.)
For writing, lettering and sketching in one I love Papyrus. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus It has an option to write with the pen and erase with your finger for Spen devices.
INKredile is a Vector writing/sketching app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viettran.INKredible&hl=en I use this for creating handwriting fonts, exporting it as a transparent png, loading it in Illustrator, image trace > 254 threshold + Ignore Whites > Expand > tweak > Place in Fontlab
And then there's Snapseed. Not quite a 'specially made for the Spen' app, but the Spen makes it that much more accurate! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed&hl=en (Made by NIK Software, the company behind NIKefex, who were bought by Google).

Thank you so much for your help I have got most of the programmes but inkcredible was just what I was after. I will try the intros rubber grip thanks for the tip I am after function rather than pretty. I do love the extra screen on this tablet. I love the note series.
Have you tried watercolour pencil I use it from time to time it gives you some really lovely drawing water blending effects.

Yea, Inkredible is a genius litle app. If you export as PDF, it exports as a Vector PDF. Real timesaver!
The only thing I miss is all my brushes in Photoshop.
Oh, fun! Didn't have that one yet! :good:
Have you tried Snapseed since it updated to version 2.0? That app is the main reason I'm buying this tablet and getting rid of my new laptop.

Yea, it's good. Still doesn't reach the level of its parent ColorEFEX (Which requires a full version of PHotoshop CS4 or higher), but it's a good dressed-down version.
