Best universal stylus? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I'm looking forward to buy a stylus for my LG G2, but I don't wanna a rubber finger or plastic disc crap. Where I can buy Note 3 S-Pen experience that would work on other captive screens? I've seen some "Adonit Jot Script Fine Point" for $85+... But seriously, who would pay nearly 100 dollars for a stylus? I've bought my Korean LTE-A version for $263 in mint condition

Working stylus to Hero

Hi, I have had touch pro and touch pro 2 devices - both with stylus attached-with both styluses worked fine.
You can find advertised cogitive stylus for Hero on ebay (they write that it works on iphone too), but I did not try any...
However today got one cheep stylus. It is like plastic pen with black rubber ending -similar to eraser on pen...
Works just if you push rather hardly with significant power and rather is not comparable to that from touch pro...
Did anybody met decent stylus working on Hero?

I purchased something probably the exact same thing from ebay, luckily i only lost 99p

Hi, I bought it for about 6 pounds with additional 1.5 for shipment. They shipped it already and wrote that shipment should take about 7-12 days. I will let you know about experience when receive.

So I got it and cannot tell that it is a miracle. You still have to press more than with windows based HTC phones and rather fat fingers are better...
...Or install Smartkeyboard ap.
Isn't that because those phones used resistive touch screens? whereas the Hero uses a capacitive touch screen?
Theres a Stylus for the HTC Hero to buy:

Pen/stylus

I used to have a Stylus that the cap came off and there was a pen there. It loved it because I always had a pen. It was for the Apache, does anyone know if there is one for the tp2?
Thanks
Google "touch pro 2 pen stylus" and also include your carrier. Trouble might be in finding one for us tmobile tp2. Also, on boxwave<dot>com they have a styra ball point pen for tmo tp2 for 12 bucks. I've never ordered from them but there are some on ppc geeks that have and say they fit.

Found a stylus that actually fits T-Mobile TP2

I found a 3 pack of stylus's for the T-Mobile version of the TP2. Found them on Amazon. The companies name is SF Planet.
Description: Fosmon Premium Quality Metal Stylus for HTC T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 with Ballpoint Pen - 3 Pack
SKU/Item # : S194
Price: $9.99 USD
Shipping (for me): $2.98
$13 for 3 stylus! I like it. They fit perfectly in the case and feel to be pretty good quality.
Cool!
Btw, do you have any idea for AT&T version of Rhodium. I bought a pack of 2 stylus in eBay (for aprox $3), and it painfully loose
I would think that because both are GSM phones that these would fit. I could be wrong.

I have not had that kind of problem yet.
Not worth it
I bought these for my VzW Touch Pro 2. Because I think the size was just different enough from the standard stylus, the system did not always respond when you withdrew or inserted the stylus. They didn't seem to "click" in as well as standard stylus. Finally, the ink did not last long enough to be worth using as a pen. (Not surprising if you consider the tiny space available for the ink "well").
Even at 9.99 or 13.99, I did not find them "worth" it.

Wacom Pens compatible with the Note

Just want to say that all the replacement Wacom pens i've purchased for my Asus EP121 tablet (12.1" Windows 7 Tablet with Capacative/Wacom input like the Note) work just fine on the note And much more comfortable to use than the S-Pen (haven't tried with the holder)
The three i've tested are the stock pen that comes with EP121, the Axiotron Studio, and the Axiotron Digitizer. Picked them up from here: http://www.nationwidesurplus.com/casearch.aspx?SearchTerm=wacom+pen with a 10% discount or so from a coupon code a few months back.
This is going to make it even harder not to carry my tablet with the note since I can tether the tablet to it..
I think any "Wacom Penenabled" pen will work with the device. I've noticed that so far that the eraser works, but the 2nd button does not.
do you know if the pressure sensitivity is more accurate with the wacom pens? The s-pen (at least mine) has almost no travel, seems like off and on.

I didn't even think to try this out. My pen from a HP tx2500 works too! The eraser, pressure sensitivity, and the button works. its a lot easier to use too. Thanks

I didn't even think about this possibility. I have a similar HP laptop with the touch and pen. Forget which model exactly, I have a new laptop now. However, if the pen works with the note when I get it, I'm going to constantly carry it with me unless I'm wearing basketball shorts or sweatpants, as the pen that came with my laptop is a great size and has some weight to it. Thanks for reminding me!

i noticed last week that the wacom stylus for my Fujitsu T4220 works on the Note. i agree with OP, sounds like all wacom stylus' will work with the Note.
and yes, pressure sensitivity is noticed on the Note by this wacom stylus from my Fujitsu...so they probably all do that.
All my thinkpad tablet pens work.

My Intuos2 doesn't work. I'll have to try Intuos3/Cintiq next time I'm at my friend's studio. Any way to disable non-pen drawing input on the S Memo app?
Wacom Intuos4 stylii also don't work on the Note, ah well.

I think you are right
I own an HP Tx2500 and i pulled the pen out of it last night for fun... it also has a clicking button, much like the note...i was able to take a screenshot and pull up the S memo, just like i was using the S Pen. pretty neat
Anybody considering buying a high quality wacom pen? I think if I end up using the S Pen enough that I could see myself buying this:
https://www.wacom.com/en/Store/Pages/Product.aspx?product=KP1302&crumb={A8DA06FA-349A-4FF4-A998-DF0429E676DF}
It's damn expensive, but if I could find a deal somewhere I would definitely drop some cash on one.

Yeah that pen wont work you have to use a pen that works with a Wacom pennable display. These are specific pens that are designed for integrated tablet options. Try looking at IBM pens fore the x61 and above machines. they are all over Ebay and cheap about 15 - 20 dollars a pen. I'm sitting here in a room full of Intuos 3 and 4 pens and none of them actually work on my note, they are not compatible.
I Just tried a friends Cintiq pen, and it did not work on my note. Also tried the pen that came with my first generation 5" wacom tablet it also did not work; did try a pen off a random HP pen tablet in the office and that does work. Not sure what the differences in pen technology are, but obviously there are some.

There is a difference in many generations of Wacom pen tech. In my tests all of the Penabled styluses have worked very well. so it seems a good rule of thumb here when considering a higher quality stylus is if its a stylus designed for a Wacom branded product. Or a stylus for a 3rd party product that happens to use Wacom Technology. no first party products have worked in my tests and all 3rd party ones have. Currently I am using the stylus from the Samsung 7 series tablet. Eraser works, button works , a noticeable increase in pressure accuracy and above all else its better shielded to prevent the auto-pressing bug many are facing with the S-pen. I'd be shocked if Samsung doesn't try to market a "S-pen pro" device in the near future.
I purchased my 7 series tablet pen from amazon for about 30 bucks.

REALLY the slate's pen works?? I carry my slate pen everywere in my pocket ready to use on my slate, but i went to a best buy and decided to try my stylus on the note that i saw on display it didn't work =\ , I really hope it really does work because this will be great. But i do have the developers version of the slate, doubt that should make a difference. My note comes in a few days..cross my fingers!
Also for others interested the great thing about the Samsung Slate Stylus is that it has a penclip so i easily clip it to the inside of my pocket and not worry about it falling out.
Wacom "Penabled" pens work, which you'll usually find with tablet PCs. Confirmed with the pen from my Thinkpad X60.
Wacom's regular line of pens, such as from the Bamboo, or the Intuos, do not work.
Note that even the eraser on my Thinkpad pen worked in the Memo app! Very cool.
As a cheaper alternative to the Samsung digitizer pen (for the slate). There is a company called Nationwide Surplus that sells white Axiotron digitizer pens for about $18 with free shipping. It's basically the same thing as the Samsung.
White stylus
They also sell a 3 pack of these for $50.
They sell an Axiotron Studio pen as well which includes a grip. I used to have one of these and they are very nice and comfortable, but might be overkill for the note.
I just ordered a 3-pack of the white stylus to have some stock. They come with extra nib units too. Great deal.
I purchased this one a few days ago on their site, the price was $14.

I would've loved to have gone for one of those Axiotron pens, but I'm particular about my gadgets being black.
I went and opted for this Toshiba pen. At $35 shipped, it was the cheapest black pen I could find. Those Samsung pens started at $40ish shipped, and I like how it looked thinner and more pencil-like than the Samsung.

Cool. Also, if you are in need of another at some point you can search around for a Fujitsu branded one. These pens are all basically the same. And there are deals to be had. No real reason to pay more than $20 for one of these.

Alternative Stylus for K1

Hi guys, i'm searching for a compatible stylus that is good to take notes or make some exercise on my shield K1.
I am in Europe and i don't want to spend 40$ for the Direct Stylus 2 from amazon.com. I want to know if Tegra Note 7 stylus is full compatible with K1.
Or maybe, is there another stylus good? I don't want to draw but sensitivity press is appreciated.
Thank you
There's a couple for about $10usd or less through Amazon. I have a Memo 2-n-1 that has a disc on one end and a fiber tip on the other. That one seems to work well swiping between screens, app drawer, writing, etc. I thought it worked way better than the more expensive $40 Meko & Wiacom's Bamboo that's $60...
