Hi all,
I am trying to find stylus for XS. Before you start asking why I need it, let me explain. Recently I got addicted to Draw something game/app. And I need stylus to draw more accurate drawings. I tried pencil with rubber at the end of it, but it does not work due to capacitive screen. Maybe some shops/ebay sells something like that, but I want to buy the one that definitely works and the end of it as thin as possible. Has anybody got experience using something like that? Does stylus for Galaxy Note would work?
Thanks in advance.

Indeed the s-pen is a wacom pen and requires a special wacom layer in the de device.
Any capacitive style will work with xps.
Thanks gents,
I bought this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-High-Sensitivity-Capacitive-Stylus-LCD-Metal-Touch-Pen-iPad-2-2G-/260967974526?pt=UK_Computing_LaptopAccessories_RL&hash=item3cc2e7467e

I got this one as an extra with a case I bought, it works well mostly but sometimes is a bit hit and miss.
If you want something for precise work this might not be to your liking.

Thanks. It has been shipped within an hour after I bought it, but to be honest, like I mentioned, I need it only for Draw Something (and fimiliar later on), so should be fine.

I've been looking for a case with a Bluetooth keyboard for my note but I can't find it.....
Has anyone seen any case like this one???
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I had that exact keyboard attachment for my iphone and in all honesty, it was terrible...
maybe its just me, but those little keyboards with non-standard key layouts are a pain, and you end up typing faster with the touch screen.
if you are really looking for a true Keyboard, that you can actually get some work done on, I highly suggest the Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Android, I cannot say enough good thinks about it.
its extremely sturdy, very comfortable and easy to type on, never has a problem connecting immediately, just an all around solid keyboard. The carrying case also doubles as a stand for your phone, with multiple viewing angles.

I see where your coming from.. I was a crackberry user for about a year, and yes, their keyboards are phenomenal. If you could find a bluetooth one that had the same key style and setup as the blackberries, id be all for it.
Im just not a big fan of the mini keyboards.. they are just laid out weirdly and dont feel comfortable to me. who knows, maybe its just me.
Give that one a shot and let us know how it is

While I like the style of the case I can't help but wonder how useful the keyboard will really be. The case isn't rigid so using it to thumb type with the phone flipped open won't be possible and it's too small to use as a traditional keyboard while sitting flat on a desk.
I'm definitely looking forward to a full review.
Edit:
For those interested I found the same case on Amazon for slightly less, free shipping:

What do you guys think about this laser keyboard ?????
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I own the version of that Logitech keyboard for tablets that was made for the iPad and it works great with the Note. I use it just a little since I do mostly pen input but wrote a blog post yesterday using the keyboard. There is a version made for Android but I'm not sure what's different. Likely just the shortcut keys.

I've always wanted to give one a try but the price just isn't right for me. I imagine the learning curve on accuracy is a little steep at first but if it works well I could see never wanting to go back to a physical keyboard.

The accuracy is not the hard part. the hard part to get used to is no tactile feed back. That, and not typing so hard that you bruise your finger tips The other issue with those keyboards is compatibility.
Looks like it's a dud, check the review...

Assuming this is the one he's talking about I'd be making an unhealthy (probably destructive) level of modifications before carrying it around. Given the button style it probably works really damn well though.

Also tried it out in one of the shops here. Actually feels that it works the same way as Samsung's Note series. So far no one have made it work as I suspect that our display responds to just purely capacitive touch.

Actually our tabs have the Atmel touch sensor and they are working on a stylus, mxts100, that should work with our tab. There is a YouTube video showing the stylus at work with a Verizon 10.1 tab. I have contacted then as well as their authorized retailers and no one can give me a release date or price this is the one thing our tab is missing, aside from JB, in order to be complete.
It would be nice if maybe someone would give the Surface Pro Pen a try and see if it could work with our tab.

Simple answer : NO.
Surface uses a wacom digitizer, just like the Note.

Good evening.
I was looking for a stylus for the TF300, but I didn't know what should I buy. I'd use it for underline pdfs and taking notes with Supernote.
Is there anything like the Samsung S Pen? I'd like to spend less than 20 euros.
Thanks in advance
I'd like to know this too...anyone help?
Maybe with an UP...
Only stylus for iPads or normal android phone or works with iPhone will work. But they're not very accurate it's like drawing with your finger but it's a stick as the stylus had big surface area so that the even can detect it.

Any capacitive style stylus will work. Mostly anything listed here will work. Obviously the cheaper they are the lower quality they are. My step mom bought her Stylus for 10 bucks, its all metal, i got 3 for 5 bucks, they are all plastic.
the ones best buy sells are awesome. i think its targus brand? i use it for everything.

I bought a cheap aluminum one today with a felt tip, it it works pretty well with a light touch, and no screen protector.
Specifically, the tip is a rubberish felt material, that slides across the screen easily without getting stuck.
this may sound dumb, but do you guys rest your palms on the screen when you write? i am hating the "only the pen touching" thing. if i rest my palm though, it doesnt know where i want to write. Anybody else seeing the predicament here? Thoughts? techniques? am i missing something obvious? i liked the idea of a stylus until this manifested itself.

I think certain note apps have the palm rejection capability. I believe Lecture Notes does, but I haven't tried it with the TF300T yet.

About two years ago I bought a metal stylus with a rubber tip from a pound shop in the UK. I wondered if it would work with my Galaxy S2 but of course it didn't. Still, I'm glad I didn't throw it away because a year later when I tried it on my tf300t it worked like a charm.

Yeah I probably have the same generic one. It works pretty well considering I got it for free.
I'm looking for a wacom based pen that I can actually hold like a pen. The issue I'm having is finding something compatible with the GN3. The closest thing I can find is the bamboo stylus feel for Samsung Note but the website says it's only been tested on the note 2, note 8, and 10.1.
Anyone out there have this pen and tried it on the Note 3? I emailed wacom and all I got in reply was that it hadn't been tested yet on the note 3.
Anyone know of another pen that is compatible with the note 3? I'd love to be able to still use the s-pen features but with a pen I can actually hold (I have big hands).
Thanks in advance

I've used the "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 inch S-Pen Stylus with Eraser" with my Note 3, and it works fine, but is still slightly smaller than a normal (e.g. fountain) pen. I also own a Note 10.1, and that worked with my non-Samsung Wacom styluses (bought with Wacom digitisers). I would anticipate that any Wacom active stylus should work OK.
Alternatively - if you can get any Note Stylus cheaply (Amazon seem to have a few), it should be reasonably easy to attach it to a normal pen?
Since it seems that note 10.1 stylus is compatible with note 3, I should add HP's tablet PC pen. Works perfectly and to me it was free! If you have one around give it a try!

The Wacom Intuos and Cintiq pens do not work. Which is really a disappointment, because I was so looking forward to using my Intuos4 pen......
So I, too, would very much like to know if the Bamboo stylus works on the Note 3.
I have a thinkpad x220 tablet and it has a wacom pen. Just tested it out and it works fine. Has the button, and the eraser end actually works too which is a plus. It's like a full size pen and I think its about $15 on ebay.
Knows anyone a stylus like the Bamboo Stylus Feel but also with included pen?

ya the button worked just like the spen and the best part is the eraser works too (at least on note pad which I tested it on) - wish the spen had an eraser
edit; I should note that I have a spare one that also works but is slightly off because the digitalizer is at the end of the pen and not pen tip, just remedied the problem by trimming some of the back of the pen tip off now it's good but probably a bit difficult to pull out if I was to replace it. Just a heads up incase you get a generic one.
Thanks for all the feedback. I actually came up with an alternative solution. I picked up a Pentel retractable eraser pen - http://quill.scene7.com/is/image/Quill/746_s7?iv=CnlqG1&wid=360&hei=360
Took out the eraser and just snapped in my s-pen. Fits perfectly and it even has a little button on the side that I can use to trigger the s-pen button. Once I'm done I just pull it out and place it back in the note 3. I also took apart another pen with a rubber grip and slid it over the eraser pen so it holds the s-pen in tight and gives me extra cumfort. Freakin' amazing

Can you expand on what exactly does and doesn't work?
Well you have to use a little more pressure than a regular capacitive pen. I didn't buy it the intention of taking notes or drawing with it. For me it was more tapping areas of the screen in my office doc's and such. That's why I sy works and it doesn't.

i usually go with the slightly more affordable option they seem to have done me good so far.
its just like a finger
u can use when ur wearing gloves
good for cold weather
http://www.poeticcases.com/capacitive-stylus-pen
What makes c pen different from s pen?
C-Pen is (Finger) touch only. and the S-Pen requires that screen have an additional wacom-like layer built-in to allow pressure-sensitive movements and pen hovering identification with the pen and the tablet screen.
So the s-pen won't work on our tablets ?
