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.

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.

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.

Looking for a thin nibbed stylus for handwriting purposes on my TF101. Any suggestions would be welcome.

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.
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.
Is there any other pencil available for the TPT? Like a pencil which looks like a real one? I tried with a wacom, a lenovo tablet and a no-name pencil but all of them does not work... i could not find any at amazon, beside the original one.
This one should work,>>> http://www.visionobjects.com/en/webstore/myscript-stylus/description/

nah, i need a replacement for this thing: http://www.amazon.de/Lenovo-0A33887...ZO6O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351069911&sr=8-1
is there any pen that will work on the display? as i wrote, i tried several differnet pen's but no one is working...
The one HTC put out, I think it was the Scribe, works with the TPT.
Take a look at the pen for the Fujitsu Q552, as it is the same N-Trig gen as our Thinkpad The older Q550 pen will also work, but I am told that is half a gen behind what we have, but the tip also gets dirty/needs replacement more frequently. The HP Slate 2 pne will also work. However, the only con maybe they may not fit in the pen silo, so you would have to carry it separately.

I was wondering if there is a nrig pen out there that is not pressure sensitive (should be less loud)
Does this tablet use the same one as the X61T X200T X201T W700 X220? I see a ton of styli for those models for cheap on eBay, but I'm unsure which stylus to buy. What do you guys recommend?
No, different technology. But, the Fujitsu Q550/552. The Q572 and Q702 pen may work(newer gen version of what the TPT uses) as you can use the older pen, like the HTC Flyer or TPT pen on the, but not sure if it works the other way around or not.
Hi.
The TPT 1 uses NTRIG pens.
I had listed some of the devices that uses N-Trig here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/N-Trig_Pens
It will be interesting to find any of this pens and try it out, possible you can find any of those on ebay cheap... but it will be "trial and error" to see if those works.
If you have any good luck, please report it back on the forum.

Hi
Shield tablet compatible cases are not avalible in my country (at affordable prices) I'd like to know if anyone is using a case of some other tab that is compatible with nvidia shield tablet.
I have found that nvidia tab is longer as compared to all other 8" tabs out there, hence struggling to find a case that can work with it.
Thanks!!
I'm using a Poetic case I found on Amazon. Really sturdy and extremely pleased with it. The power and volume buttons can be a bit hard too press at times but still would highly recommend it to any shield tablet owner.
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...
