So I'm on the fence between the Adonit Jot Pro and the Dagi p505 styluses for my XTZ. I've been told and saw that people have problems with styluses from these two companies where the disk scratch the living hell out of the screen. Hearing that kind of put me off on buying either one til I find a stylus that won't scratch. I am looking for something with a fine tip which the p505 and Jot Pro provide but that scratch worries me. Oh and shouldn't the scratch resistant screen have no problem with them? Also, if anyone has any luck with any other styluses please let me know here or PM me. I'll be using it for taking notes and drawing occasionally.

I bought the adonit jot Pro and it works fine with the tablet BUT I'm also using xtremeguard's screen protector and the stylus gets stucked with the screen protector.
I think your screen will be fine as long as you use a screen protector because it's true some dust might get under the tip of the stylus so probably it might scratch the naked screen.
I think a cheaper screen protector might be the solution (but unfortunately in Mexico they are hard to find for this device).

I am using the Jot pro for sketches and it's good.

It does scratch a little while writing/drawing but I'm using a armorsuit screenprotector and after I finish, the scratches go away within hours. This is over 2 and a half months of usage without switching out the disc.

Don't you have the same problem with armorsuit as I do? I mean, does your stylus sticks to your screen protector?

in the beginning it did a bit but after using it for a while it glides flawlessly like it was on glass. one thing I have to complain about if anything is that sometimes when I am writing notes or something, the screen would not pick up the pen in a certain area so I would have wipe that spot and it would work again. I don't know why that is but it isn't much of a bother.
Hi guys, right now I'm also on the look for a new stylus with a finer tip for my Xperia Tablet Z. I am getting more and more into drawing with the tablet and the inexpensive styluses with the chunky rubber tips are not cutting it for me anymore.
I just got the Adonit Jot Pro (3rd generation) on the weekend and I was immediately excited witht the new level of precision it allows. The moving plastic cap can be a bit clumsy at times but the added precision is worth the hassle.
Unfortunately the Jot Pro mysteriously "lost" its sensitivity in the next day. It would only register contact with the tablet when applying a lot of pressure. Maybe the stylus was defect or I just didn't notice this on the first day because of my excitement with the fine tip but I ended up sending it back and now I'm looking for a replacement.
Can anyone recommend an precision stylus for me? I am considering the following devices:
- Wacom Bamboo Fineline
- Adonit Jot Script
- Targus Stylus for Samsung
- Dell Active Stylus
- Samsung Stylus (3-Tip) for Galaxy S3
- Sony Digitizer Stylus for VAIO Duo11

Hi, how is your Jot Pro now? My friend owns a Dell Active Stylus and surprisingly it doesn't work on my XTZ.
I bought a cheap China versin 2 mm finetip active stylus and is working fair. Price was at USD 30...
After returning the Jot Pro I never got another one but as far I can tell I can confirm that it doesn't work with the Xperia Tablet Z. In the meantime I did a lot further research on the topic and I'm afraid to say that it all came to nothing. At least until the end of 2014 there was really no stylus with a fine tip on the market that would work on this device. The best results I got was with the Wacom Bamboo but it also has serious issues with diagonal wavy lines
I now own the Xperia Tablet Z2 but the situation is pretty much the same. No good stylus. I also contacted Sony asking for advice and they answered me that there is no stylus officially supported for this product. I am now using an cheap and ugly big rubber tip stylus to draw

strange that it worked for one day and then not.
Good Luck with finding one that works good.:fingers-crossed:
Update: I just ordered the "ReGear Pro Stylus" and it looks very good so far. Here is my short feedback on the Xperia Tablet Z2:
- Fine tip!
- Excellent responsiveness. Always recognized by the device and absolutely no broken lines
- Very good hold and feel.
- No Bluetooth needed.
- Runs on regular AAA batteries.
Of course it's still not perfect since drawing slowly in diagonals still causes the infamous "wavy" lines but it's certainly the best stylus I ever had so far, hands down!

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.

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.

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 really hope you can. If so then I'll be ordering a jot pro too.
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.

^^^true, I've been looking at note taking apps and haven't seen any that would do such...I've seen reviews for these styli and their hands are suspended....how long can one write like that? I plan to do some serious note taking with this thing, like hour long meetings...the OG transformer has a note taking app thats pretty good right?
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.
I am looking into Jot Pro, since I am not a very big fan of "eraser writing tip"
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.

Later, to take notes I recommend you the FreeNotes apk....is very easy and, for me, the best apk for this!! hehe. Free in the PlayStore!
Sorry for my english, I'm Spanish...
The best stylus for handwriting on the Sony S tablet that I've found found is the just mobile Allupen. It does take some getting used to and there is a slight delay. It is the only rubber tipped stylus I've run into that you can write with. Also your mileage may very depending on what app you're using to take notes. My personal fave is Freenote.
The adonit Jot works well too, but I thinks it's more suitable for drawing than writing as it will constantly be clicking against your screen if you even write moderately fast. Good for cursive though.
Another good option is the fabric tipped gogo stylus it's exactly the same as the fabric tipped aponyo stylus, but it's a little cheaper.
With any of these you have to get used to writing with them. It's not like writing with a pen. Also all the palm rejection software I've run into has been less then thrilling. I just wear fingerless gloves to solve that problem.
Good luck!
works great

All of the ones that I know of have a rubber piece at the end and are not suitable for hand writing.
What I don't know is if the new Samsung firm stylus would work.

I just got the Adoint Jot and it works fairly well,

I'm surprised people have gotten any stylus to work with the Tablet S. I've tried two different iFaraday styluses, which are supposed to be the most sensitive stylus available, as well as a Boxwave rubber tipped stylus, and a dirt cheap generic Ebay rubber tipped stylus. All of these tips trigger a strange constant double tapping action just by touching the tip to the screen. Extremely annoying when in the browser as this causes the screen to constantly zoom in and out. I pretty much just assumed the Tablet S screen simply can't handle styluses.
works perfect

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.

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.

any more reviews for this ? very interested in it but im afraid it dont work as well.
without a screen protector and just bare glass, I recommend this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LG7W36/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A30XRGG45X0IFD
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.
OK Guys spent the last few hours researching the stylus screen issue after i received my Kuel H12 capacitive stylus for use with sketchbook pro, which didn't work
So I decided that we need a definitive list of what stylus actually work on the Sony Tablet S capacitive screen.
So please post what stylus you have tried and list their performance or short review so other sony tab users (like me) don't wast £20 on a sh~ty stylus' that don't work. It would also be helpful if you noted if its with or without a screen protector or if you've carried out the Factory screen protector Mod referenced below.

Compatible status, is a stylus that has been confirmed to work by more than one member or/and by myself
Adonit Jot - dtaylorr, jb2001 - stylus does work, and the build quality feels excellent however i felt there were still sensitivity issues when writing and i did have issues with parts of words not registering, parts of lines missing etc, found it frustrating trying to take notes during meetings, and on more than one occasion ended up using the keyboard.
Griffin stylus pen, GC16040 - wickwire, jb2001, stylus does work, although sensitivity again was the issue again, felt I had to put alot of pressure on the screen to ensure the stylus worked correctly, writing was uncomfortable due to the pressure placed on the rubber nib although i did find it a bit better for drawing.
100% Compatible status - Works perfectly for writing/drawing
Im not sure there will ever be one ... blame Sony's touch screen.
WP - With after-market Screen Protector
WOP - Without Screen Protector (factory film installed)
BG - Without sony factory or after-market Screen Protector (ie Bare Glass only)

I have a Bamboo rubber tipped stylus which works ok. It's not perfect and not really precise for using with Sketchbook (the lines get interrupted etc.), but it does the job while handwriting. But still, you have to press it hard and there are occasional double clicks.

thanks kandemirb.. added to my list
mine
1- Adonit Jot
I got mine about 3 weeks ago and love it. Not as fluid as a finger, but usable. Handwriting is not perfect, wish it was more fluid.
I don't use mine a lot, but it is great to know it is there when I want it.
2- Generic rubber tipped stylus
I will also report on the rubber tipped generic Ebay stylus. It is useful if you simply want to press a button, but that is about it since there is no drag capability. Gave mine away.
3-Random thoughts
What is funny to me was that I began my journey into smartphones back in the late 90's and Window's Mobile devices. All of those devices had pressure sensitive screens and they all came with a built in stylus.
Then along came the Iphone and the big push that you did not want or need a stylus and you felt lame if you had one. For the past few years no phone or devices has had one. Now all of a sudden Samsung comes out with a line and makes stylus' cool again.
Any news on the Adonit Jot? I'm looking to buy one...
Be sure to check out the JOT touch when it is released by adonit... I have the JOT and it is the best one so far for the S but this new one has blutooth and promises android support with PEN PRESSURE! Supposed to be out by june but no word still. Check it out on their site.

I have the sony screen protector on, but this stylus sucks(GT MAX).....works but sucks. Works as in, a pressure tap on the screen will work. Other than that, you can't write, drag, or erase.....if you can your a "bad A mofo"

I'm looking for a stylus that can give me the best precision at clicking very small icons. I don't care if it sucks for handwriting and drawing. Which one should I go for?

Gomadic Precision Tip Capacitive Stylus
Hello,
Thanks for compiling the list!
You can add Gomadic Precision Tip Capacitive Stylus from Amazon to the list. I'm not using a screen protector with it and it's working fairly well with moderate pressure on the pen. It's squishing the tip a lot though, which makes me wonder if at some point it will break, but for now it's working pretty well and it has a pen which is great for me.
Thanks again!
I'm thinking of venturing out and attempting to make a descent stylus myself with machined components. If i do it i'll post a picture and give all details. The hardest thing to get over is the amount of pressure you have to apply with the stylus.
DAGi P504
Thanks for the list.
Did anyone tried the DAGi P504 available on ebay for like 20$?
Thanks,
Hi guys I am from Hong Kong and i found, not exactly a pen shape stylu, but it works great on sony tablet s.
it's a korean brand called mfit, cleaner style pen
Don't bother about the content, look at the strokes, all nicely drawn.
I'd say this is the best one i'd ever used on a tablet S, however, not in pen shape makes it not easy to draw as comfortable.
a Stylus works on Sony tablet s
Hay guys, I just bought a "Mediasonic MLG-6065TS BlackBox Stylus Touch Pen" and it WORKS PERFECTLY WELL on a tablet s!! You may wanna give it a try.
I got a stylus called Trent Arcadia Click Pen from Amazon that works pretty good. It's squishy with a micro-knit fabric cover which glides along the screen nicely. They are kind of small though and very squishy, so you would want to be careful not to tap too hard or you will jab your screen with the hard part of the pen surrounding the tip. It's not 100% perfect because it will cause breaks in your line if you let up on the pressure too much...and sometimes I have to tap two or three times for a response. I would say it's 80-90% effective. I will also say this is the first stylus I've tried and don't have anything to compare it to.
brush-tip stylus works
I finally settled with a brush-tip stylus for my Sony Tablet S after numerous trials with rubber-tipped ones. My hypothesis is that compared to my fingers, most rubber-tipped pen creates a touch area that is too small to be recognized by this tablet's screen. A brush-tip's hair spread out and makes a much larger contact area. There are a few models of such stylus available, I bought two of them and both work fine.
DAGI works great
After disappointment with performance of Wacom stylus (works great on iPad though), I bought one that works great on Sony Tablet S: DAGi P504. $20 on eBay.
People at DAGI sent me for free another one that actually works even better (P301). My tablet is the original one (not new Xperia branded).

Hey there. I come to see this post now, as I finally managed to remove the stock screen protector. I have the origina (non-xperia) s tab too and can never find a working stylus. Whats your feedback for the Dagi 504? I really wanna get into drawing with this tab, since I might not be able to purchase another for a wile. Does it glide smoothly? Do lines break? etc.
