N7000 S-pen alternatives

I've recently discovered that the N7000 S-Pen isn't some magical new technology but in fact the same kind of inductive stylus that's offered with many older tablet PCs featuring Wacom digitizers.
I'm now using a Toshiba Portege stylus (cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170808932694) from eBay and I was previously using a HP TC1100 stylus (cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220871875156).
Apologies the above aren't links - I haven't made enough posts to include direct links yet so you'll have to copy/paste.
The advantage of the Toshiba one over both the HP one and the original S-pen is that it comes with an eraser tip at the other end which actually works as an eraser in the S-Memo app.
The button works just like the S-pen one so the usual screenshot/memo shortcuts work fine.
A word of warning though - I've also tested a Wacom Bamboo graphics tablet which did not work and don't confuse the TC1100 with the earlier TC1000 model which used a different battery-powered pen.
In short, if a tablet PC uses a Wacom digitizer and the pen does not require a battery then I think there's a very good chance the pen would also work with the N7000 Galaxy Note.
If you find any other good ones that work, it would be worth posting a reply on here so we can build a list of compatible ones.

I tried the Stylus from the Hp tc4400 (think its the same than urs) and from the Lenovo x??. Both worked great. I think every Wacom Display pencil will work.

I use the TC1100 pen, and it's fine.

So we can't use Active Pens? What about Palm Rejection?

So I just spoke to a Samsung representative and in summary they said no because I do not have Wacom built into my tablet. I'd just like to confirm this and does this mean our tablet would be unable to do Palm Rejection with any kind of pen?

Right. No active pen. Palm rejection can be achieved with some note taking software which provides you a dead zone where you can rest your palm. Still this is not as elegant a solution as with an active digitizer. You can also use a screen wiping cloth and just place it beneath your palm as you write. A bit kludgey but it works and it keeps your screen clean.
The other option will be to wait for the Note version of the S tablet which I am sure is forthcoming.

=/ It's too late for me now since I've bought the tablet already so I guess I'll have to find someway to work around it.

Samsung at one point had a Bluetooth Pen. Could something like that work?

I bought this tablet for copying down note after I come home from university.
Before buying it I looked around to see if there was any app for taking notes with palm rejection features, these where the two I found: Lecture Notes and INKRedible.
INKRedible is also available for apple devices and since I had an iPad 2 I could test it with, I gave it a try.. It was working quite good.
So I decided to buy my Tab s 8.4 and today I tested INKRedible, it isn't working at all... Does anyone have any clue why it isn't working? How come it is working so well on ipad and not at all on my tab s?
Is there an alternative app?

What Wacom Pens/Styluses (if any) work on the Tab S4?

So I wanted to get another pressure sensitive stylus for my Tab S4 when I read somewhere that (on top of being based on Wacom technology) that some Wacom pens can work on Samsung tablets.
I tried a lot of googling, reading spec sheets, and so on when I ran across this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837743.
I'm not sure how accurate still is and, if it is still accurate, I'd like some clarification on which Wacom pens are being referred to specifically.
Basically, I'd like to know:
---Are there any Wacom pens that work on the Tab S4?
------If yes, what are they?
------If yes, does it provide similar pressure/tilt and navigation functionality as an S Pen? (Or everything an S Pen does outside of the special air wizard)
Thank you for your time

Hey dcoke, I wanted to just thank you for all of your suggestions.
After a lot of research I ended up sticking with a Samsung stylus (for pressure sensitivity & other related reasons) but I appreciated your answer all the same and just wanted thank you .

My CS 3002 Wacoms work like a charm. Precision, Pressure and Tilt are perfect

does the tab s4 have all the features of the note9 digitizer and apps?

I assume so. Outside of the bluetooth multimedia control S-Pen.
As for the other guy, Wacom Digitizers determine tilt and sensitivity support, not the stylus itself. Since I tried the old Samsung stylus that I bought for my Note Pro 12.2 and it had tilt support in it, though it came out well before Samsung started implementing support for it. That's when I learned it was the digitizer under the screen determining those characteristics.

Has anyone tried the Bamboo Tip? I really like the construction on Bamboo pens but am not sure if this works on the S4.

Touch/stylus pen

Hello!
Is there any touch/stylus pen on the market which look like the original s pen and maybe it has the same Bluetooth functions as the original, and I can us it with my s10e or any regular smartphones or tablet?

Question Anyone tried third party stylus??

My son has a stylus with a super soft tip. I linked it below. It's really cheap and works well as far as s responsiveness with the fold 3. I know they tell us not to use anything other than samung-approved spens, but I'm wondering if anyone has used a third party stylus??

Fold edition of s pen has a tip that can go in a bit if you push hard. While normal stylus with hard tip that cannot, will cause damage to big screen. One you linked has a soft tip so It should work, but keep in mind the s pen uses a technology for smooth movement and such. I think it's a wacom technology or w.e it's called. So if you want that you need to use s pen and no 3rd party stylus. Since one you linked does not have technology in it.

Samsung uses Wacom EMR technology. The newer fold editions use the same wacom as they always have but they use a different frequency in order to make the device reject the older Spens. The new frequency is actually the same frequency used by wacom emr stylus that have dedicated erasers like the old spen with eraser or the norton jumbo digital pencil. If you hold the eraser end to the screen of the fold it will pick it up as it does the new fold edition spen.
That said im sure someone can come up with a workaround. You have to apply quite a bit of pressure to get the tip to retract on the fold edition spen. I never write that hard and im not sure who does. But i have spent hundreds on 3rd party emr stylus that i cant use anymore. I recently replaced a surface pro with a galaxy book flex just so i could control my pc phone and tablet with one stylus. Now i got a zfold 3 and im carrying multiple stylus. And dont get me started on the difficulty ive had ordering the cross compatable spen pro...
