Purchased the Penabled Wacom Tablet PC pen, the Thinkpad X60, Samsung 8pi stylus and the Samsung Series 7 Slate Digitizer Pen. I have slightly large hands and do a lot of writing - the built in one is way too small.
Of the 4 my favorite is the Penabled Wacom Tablet PC pen. It's got the best feel in the hand. Just right amount of weight and the button is large enough that I don't accidentally depress it. Like that it doesn't have a clip to get in the way of my hand.. You may not like the white, I don't care.
The X60 is the second favorite, it's a little smaller but has some weight to it as well and its nice to write with. Looks more professional as well with the standard red eraser and black lenovo styling.
The 8pi is oddly the third. It's a little too thin for my fingers and the button is too easy to hit accidentally. Tracks the best, and if you have smallish hands this may be your thing. Get ready to order it overseas though.
The series 7 I don't use much as all. It's clip on it gets in the way of my finger too often and it's tracks the furthest off center for me.
3 of the 4 are slightly "off center". The Samsung series 7 is the furthest off target, the 8pi stylus being as accurate as the built in one. The wacom and the Thinkpad are equally off, just a couple millimeters.
if you use Lecture Notes like I do, that can be adjusted so that it's not an issue at all.
Can you provide links of each product?
Thank your for very informative inputs.

Especially, wacom, and x60 pen.

I am always losing the pen. That's one reason I was so glad to have the pen slot. But still I lose the pens. I have a few of the regular s-pens but I would love to have one that really felt good in my hands. But I would hate to lose it. Is there any way to attach any of the pens to my case?
I have the 8pi pen and like it quite a bit more than the stock one, but yes, you must rotate the pen in the hand correctly or the button is too easy to trigger. I've got medium sized hands and the 8pi feels pretty good when drawing and writing. I don't know about other cases, but I slip the pen through the flap for the headphones on the samsung book case and it sits on there quite nicely and doesn't get in the way of the case opening. The eraser function is particularly sweet.
The upcoming Wacom bamboo feel stylus looks really nice, but it also doesn't seem to have an eraser function. Still, if it's more accurate then it could definitely be a worthy purchase.

I saw this review on amazon when I was looking at reviews of the Penabled Wacom Tablet PC pen
Thanks for the reviews "chuckjones" (love the handle) . I saw your reviews on Amazon.com , too.
QUESTION regarding the Wacom Penabled and Samsung 8pi Stylus - does the eraser tip end work on both of these pens when using apps on Galaxy Note ?
Another review on Amazon.com that I read suggested that the eraser end works in some apps , but not all.
And what about the button on the Wacom stylus ? Does it do anything ? (is there any way it can be programmed to function as a right-click , etc. ? )
The main apps I want to use are Sketchbook Pro Mobile and TVPaint Animation (Android version currently in open beta mode) . I tried my son's Axiotron Modbook stylus (also a generic Wacom Penabled stylus) and the pen tip works fantastic in both Sketchbook Pro and TVPaint, but neither app recognized the eraser tip of the Axiotron Modbook stylus. On the other hand Photoshop Touch DID recognize the eraser tip of the Axiotron Modbook stylus.
Sorry, if this had been asked before. But does anyone having a Galaxy Note 1 and it's keyboard case able to test it with the new Note II?
Was the keyboard case rigid or can the Note II get itself accomodated in it?
I'm using Dosbox for Android (DOsbox Turbo), and would be great to have a keyboard handy and convenient within it's case. This will be more convenient by holding both the keyboard and the Note II, rather than having a separate keyboard and holding it and letting the Note II lying elsewhere.
Thanks for any information.

The dimensions of the note 2 are different from the note 1 so it wouldn't even fit, so not not going to work.
No need to tell you all how much we use the pen, being forced to lose it, Ouch....... So can we get the S7 or S7 active too read the X Y of the pen, I know we can't store the S-pen in the phone, but that's a small price to pay.
i think note series had special digitalizer..very diferent with s7 s7edge
Nope. Won't work.
The Note devices has a Wacom digitizer beneath that works with the S Pen.
You could try getting a Samsung Tablet that comes with the S Pen. The Note 7 Pen should work on it too.
Thanks for the reply guys, its shame it cant be done, I can't let go of my note 7, using the pen on the s/edge7 would have been to convenient huh
✒ SPen. Let me give you my 3 cents.
What is not: resistive or capacitive pen. Meaning aplying pressure (Like and old iPhone) will not make it work like the resistive pens. Nor will holding it with your hand or touching skin-pen combination. You can put it on a vise-grip and it will work.
What it is: It works like the sensor on your car keys. Where it has a coil inside and if you place it close enough to a magnetic source you will get feedback or pen strokes. The Note 7 has a metal sheet used as a magnetic source behind its regular screen.
What you need on a Non-Note phone is a "Capacitive" pen. Made of all metal some with battery and make direct skin-pen to screen contact for it to work like the SPen. Unfortunately nobody wants metal rubbing a glass screen obviously ?

Been reading up on both. does anyone have both? Also looking for a case to hold the pen. Looks like we are all waiting for a few places to come out with one that is good.
Excited to get mine. will be here on Thursday.
I don't have both, but the fold SPen is the perfect size in my opinion. I was expecting it to be approximately the same size as the note 20 ultra pen so I ordered the pro model as well. I've since canceled the pro pen order as the fold pen is perfect for what I need. I use it to make notes and navigate on the inner screen.
I own the Fold Edition s pen. I really don't need the added functionality of the Pro model pen on my Fold as I already own other s pen devices with said capabilities. Also, the size of the Pro pen doesn't seem right, doesn't seem comfortable to hold do to its length.
Here are my stylus pens for my Tab S7 Plus, Fold3, wife's Tab S6 and her N20U.
I have both. Was a mistake in ordering.
I only wanted the fold edition.
The pro is thicker and longer. More of a sit down and maybe draw vs the fold edition which is more portable to me.
The only added for the pro is bluetooth. But even when i had my note i never used the bluetooth parts.
I have the fold edition and am waiting on my pro to arrive. I use a ton of the Bluetooth features, along with the basics. I purchased the fold edition, only because the pro wasn't in sock at the places I looked. I will be returning the fold edition and case combo as soon as my pro arrives..
The S pen Pro is significantly larger than the Fold edition and will not fit in the case for Flip cover with the detachable Fold edition S pen
I have both S Pens and for the Fold 3 the simpler cheaper S Pen is fine. The Pro does not seem to have a smaller stylus size than the S Pen with Tab S7 + so not sure why one would want the Pro.
I got both just because they were "free" with credits. One for using at home (Pro), and the other for on the go (Fold Edition) my Fold Edition arrived with the TERRIBLE flip case, but I'm still waiting on my Pro.
I Have the pro... strangely enough it will not connect to my fold 3. (im using nova & Microsoft launchers with the screenscut down to 48 maxhz adaptive for battery)

(Controversial ?) answer... NEITHER! I will never use the S Pen Fold that came free with my Fold3.
I owned every Note from the Note 4 upwards - for the big screen, big storage and latest camera tech
- I never ever used the S Pen and never saw the point of it. RIP Samsung Note range.

I am often annoyed because the S-Pen Fold edition touches the screen, but nothing happens. I'm not even sure if this is on purpose by the software or a bug. Often happens with buttons, like the 4 buttons on top of the notification center (above the quick settings toggles)

Hmm sounds odd. I'll give that a test after work. I know the front screen doesn't support the spen but not sure of any areas on the inner screen that don't

It's difficult to explain. I can touch them too and they work, when you tap on it with the S-Pen "firmly", but if you just touch it without pressing it won't work lot of times for me. I don't know how to explain that easily. This just happens with some UI elements, that's why I kinda think that it's intentional. But I now this never happened with my Note 10+ and a "real" S-Pen

Defo sounds odd. I'm not sure if we can alter spen sensitivity or not can we?
So if I hold down buttons (on a forbidden stylus)) I can click and drag in my fold4. It is ABSOLUTELY compatable with older stylus
Its a simple matter of having it allowing the frequency codes of the other stylus. We know it sees them in order to throw up the warnings.
I strongly believe the "will damage your screen" warnings are for gorillas who might use the phone.
I have never warn out a single stylus,
I am a very light pressure drawer and on op of that I have soft nibs & spring nibs from other pens
I want to take the risk and use my standard pens as I have many Wacom devices I use at once and it get annoying swaping pens.
Yes I have the 2-in-1 pro spen. But I dont want the hassle of having to flip the switch 100 times a day.
Same here, hope there is a workaround.
¿Any non samsung spen compatible with our fold 4? I don't want the bt version, just a standar one to have it at home.

Nillkin iSketch Adjustable Capacitive Stylus... Bought one a year or so ago. It works on ALL capacitive touch screens...
Cost around $50Aud but work brilliantly...
Quick search found here - https://www.aliexpress.com/i/4000379135172.html
You should find a little cheaper if you look as this was 1st hit I found....
I have an old Samsung HM5100 stylus and I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to be able to use it with my fold 4. If anyone can figure out how I can I will be forever thankful.
Came from Note 20 Ultra. There is no reason I shouldn't be able to use it on my Fold4.
Let us all not let this thread die, please.
I have a Note 8 AND a Note 10+.
Both their S-Pen's air gestures can be recognized by the sensors on the Fold 4's inner display.
And I'm gonna be using it with a screen protector anyway.
I don't understand WHY anyone hasn't paid attention to this thread yet.
Come on guys, you'll be collecting blessings out of this.
do the old spens of the note, tab, s series work on fold 4? I have both bt and non bt spen.

NO !
SPen Fold edition has an special "retractile nib system" to use with Samsung Folds
Oddly enough, I use the Nilikin Spen on all my devices and it works on the fold 4 even when I turn the SPEN 'off' on the phone, because it is a powered pen (chargeable) .. but- it defeats the purpose. The pen is BIG and has to be carried just as the original SPEN coming from Samsung, and the fold phones do not have WHERE to put them, unless the case has it, and I use the phone naked. Further more- I use a Samsung laptop and it comes with a built in pen that DOES NOT work on the FOLD. Frustration? Hack yeah ! So I have a pen that works on 'all' my devices, but it isn't a reasonable solution. Also - The Nilikin pen has a fairly wide tip compared to the original FOLD SPEN. Not great. Samsung must find a way, with such a bulky phone, to host an SPEN, and better be one compatible to their other devices (laptop and N10/N20 series). Pathetic solution so far for the FOLD 3/4 .
Ok, I won't buy it then!
