Does anyone know or have recently purchased a replacement S Pen? I've looked on Amazon and the only one that came across as genuine supposedly has no pressure sensitivity, and on Ebay it's the same seller. Everywhere else has either stopped selling them or they're out of stock. I have the full sized S Pen to hold me over but the offset is annoying.
I'm in the U.S. also
I got one from Ali. Works as original.

I've gone through quite a few of these third party replacents. Not one of them had pressure sensitive or replaceable nibs as the original. Contacting Samsung is a waste of time, as they prefer you to buy a new tablet when the pen dies.
Seriously, I went to an "offficial" parts website for Samaung S-PEN replacement. I couldn't even get a PART NUMBER from the site. IMHO, Samsung is leaving such sales in the hands of the very poor quality fakes selling all over.
I LIKE my Tablet. But the ONLY way I would buy another one with the S-Pen (which I love) is if the store I bought it from could prove that they could GET Spens, by sellingme a spare at the time! Samsung shuold maybe stop with the bajilion differnt models and SUPPORT the one time great products that they used to have.
Still want a working/not fake pen. ;-Deano
I feel your pain I caved in and bought a knock off on Amazon. It has pressure sensitivity but the nib is plastic and I feel like I'm scraping the screen everytime I write. It's the best we can get though :crying:

But I don't understand WHY Samsung actually REFUSES to let retail stores to carry them? They really seem to be pushing their owners support right out the door. It's not as if were so impossible to conceive of anybody losing a pen..
Who's writing THIS business plan...Trump? ;-Deano
I had the same problem. Tried to order an OEM from CompSource but turned out they were out of stock. Went for a knockoff. Its not bad, but its not good either. Sad that my Note is still very usable but the lack of a decent replacement stylus may force me to find something else.
If you like to use pressure sensitive s pen, you can purchase an s pen of note 3, note 4 or note 5 but of course they are not attachable to device because of their shape.
I lucked out and found the Wacom Bamboo Feel on eBay. Not cheap, but very sweet. AND it was made for this tablet!! ;-DeanoD
i did a quick search on 2 sites in uk handtec and hyper-direct and both have what appear to be original pens for the p600 and tabpro. There is no mention of pressure sensitivity but they are only £8.00 so i may pick one up to see. Since i also have the note 3 i can use that pen in a pinch but it might not be a bad idea to have a spare anyway.
I just did a Google Search and found a bunch of knock-offs, but eight genuine ones for the Note 10.1(2014) were there as well. The real McCoy isn't cheap, costing anywhere from $29 to $16. The reason Samsung doesn't market them is inventory. It costs them too much to have pens for a long out of production tablet laying around.
It looks like genuine replacement S-pens for the Note 2014 can be ordered from here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...alaxy-Note-10-1-2014-Edition/32601677612.html
Not expensive, either, just $7.14.
Also, replacement S-pens are available on Amazon, in Canada and the USA.
Ebay is where I purchased mine - sealed bag - correct length of pen and replacement tips - which my original pen did not have. Very pleased. Cant post a link not enough posts. Seller was tech-24-2.
I also got the samsung Spen with Erasure from another dealer - used with a further 5 tips - that with my note4 means I have 15 spare tips - yipee a lifetime worth.

Just received the two styluses’ that I ordered from Deal Extreme on July 16 and I have to say that I am very impressed with them for the price that I paid. Being only $2.40 each I decided to order 2 of them setting me back only $4.80 total with free shipping and no tax. The shipping however took exactly 2 weeks since it was shipped from Japan so if you need it in a hurry your out of luck.
Each stylus is packaged in cheap plastic with a cardboard backing that says for iPhone/iPod touch, etc.
Now the stylus itself has a solid black aluminum body with a chrome clip and chrome right above the rubber stylus part of the pen. The aluminum body feels sturdy and is just a tad bit thicker than your average pencil. I have never owned a capacitive stylus but the rubber end on this one seems to be fine with no quality issues that I can tell. It also hasn’t scratched my device which is important. As far as overall build quality goes, the only part that feels cheap is the clip that has a fake/plastic chrome look to it. The clip has worked fine for me so far when attaching it to my SGT case.
As far as performance goes, it does take a little bit of getting used to, but I’m assuming any stylus for these screens would be the same way. All the touches have registered with great accuracy from what I can tell. I was having some trouble with using Swype but I think that’s because it was on my Moto Droid. It was registering a lot better on my SGT then my Moto Droid. I do have an XO Screen protector on my SGT and it is working perfectly with this stylus as well if anyone was wondering.
Overall though, for the price, you can’t beat it! I got 2 of them for under $5 and am extremely happy with this purchase. This is my first review but I thought I would help anyone that was looking for a stylus. Feel free to ask me any questions and I will do my best to answer them.

That's certainly a good deal. I went ahead and ordered one.
3 bucks, why not
I bought the same one at Walmart under the brand of targus for $14. That tells you how much they overprice everything and you're basically paying for the brand :-(
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
When I was at best buy they tried selling me a Targus one as well, bet its the same one as Wal-Mart
I picked up the targus stylus at walmart. It doesn't seem to be very sensitive. You have to press the tip down and compress it quite a bit for it to make a reliable input. It's horrible for drawing. My finger works 5 times better. Are all capacitive styluses like this?
Did you opt for the paid package tracking when you ordered?
My stylus seems to work fine as long as I'm not charging. Odd.

Nope and I anxiously waited 2 weeks
how do thee styluses perform for hand writing?
anyone know?
Ordered a pair on the 3rd of July, I opted for the mail tracking for an extra $2 bucks. The tracking directs me to some Hong Kong Post website saying my order is still being processed for departure? I guess this is Hong Kong's version of the USPS tracking process. I don't know how good it is once it leaves Hong Kong and into the states? I wonder if the tracking # will still be good once in the states, USPS? Don't have as clue to look? I don't think I will ever order anything out of country again?

You should usually be able to use the same tracking number on usps.com as soon as it gets in their system, or at least that's how it works with China Post.
Thanks I'll keep everyone updated.
That same stylus is available for $1.78, in different colors, at Priceangels
http://www.priceangels.com/Search_Result_t.html?advancedSearch=true&searchname=4.5-inch+stylus
I have ordered from them before. Got the items delivered fine. Pretty much works like Dealextreme, except IMO it has a better design.
I have been ordering quite a bit from dealextreme.com.
So far so lost packages or defect goods, just have to wait patiently for it to arrive.
Located in Singapore though, and I think it ships from Hong Kong.
Wait time is usually 2-3 weeks from time of order.
Performance is going to be more based on the app than the stylus itself. I found navigating and typing to be fine with a stylus, but the drawing apps and lacking....for now.
I got mine yesterday and I've been playing with it a bit. It works *okay*. It's definitely not as useful as I had hoped it would be. It only works about 75-80% of the time - some touches receive no response. It seems to be pretty sensitive, if you touch it at the wrong angle or press too hard or too soft, it doesn't work. Drawing is impractical. Hand-writing notes (which I was hoping for) is not really practical due to the thick rubber end on the stylus.
Hey, I'm looking to take some notes on my tab and was looking for some suggestions. I've found a couple cool programs but need a pen.
My noted are almost all math related so equations and such.
Any advice would be very helpful.

When it comes to capacitive stylus, I believe price is a good signal of quality. I have tried both high end (e.g., boxwave) and low end (generic, bundled with other accessories), and the difference is very noticeable. Good luck taking math notes.... I am an economist and my note-taking involves math too. You are going to have a hard time getting good results. I tried doing this, but had to go back to my clunky convertible tablet to get the results I needed. Unless you get a slate with a digitizer (like the Flyer or the Thinkpad), you are pretty much out of luck.
Your not out of luck... just need this!!
As u guys know capacitive stylus have a very wide point so that it can be recognized by the device, therefore affecting precision. Thankfully some people already came up with a solution. U have to options.
1) DIY fine ponit stylus with materials u can find in ur house... for FREE:

I found a blog where someone made a more precise intructions .... but I don't
remember the site!
2) Someone took the idea to kickstarter and now they are commercializing there
version of a fine point stylus.... only that it cost around 20-30 bucks:

Will take a look. Still in the market for a tablet. I like tthe 10.1 but would be better if I could take notes.

Doesn't the Lenovo Thinkpad tablet also come with a digitizer and pen?
I'll try the DIY out and let you know how it goes, looks easy enough and I have everything needed. I paid one looks great as well, but I'll wait fir the reviews to roll in. Thank you for showing this to us.
How about this one?

I'm considering it, but I don't like to waste money and really want a decent accuracy.

The Dagi came first than the one i showed u guys... but I've read some reviews and they say that it's hard to get used to because w this one u have to write w a certain angle for it to work at its best.
That sucks.
I made my own last night. I'm not good at that kinda stuff so although it worked, it was a little off.
I need one so that I can take small notes on an image of a form, but it just didn't like writing small. I'm wondering if that's the case for most of them.

You can probably do that using Sketchbook Pro. Just import the image, zoom in on where you need to write, merge the layers when done and save.
I too am looking for something to take notes on. I bought a Flyer and it was pretty inaccurate. This is one of those things where if it isn't done right it will be horrible experience. My best suggestion would be to wait for the Samsung Series 7 Slate. I know its pretty expensive but look at like this it can replace your laptop.
The 12.1 Asus eePad slate (Windows-based) gets good reviews on the note-taking area.
first of all: out there are a varaity of stylus for your tabs and phones. the regular capacitive pens you'll find for a buck or two on ebay are the same as the ones cellphone companies sell for like $20, does are just like using your finger and are only good for people with big/fat fingers since they cant type on keyboard well and other stuff like that without hitting the wrong key. but some genius chinese guy invented this wish you can make at home by yourself without any money:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHhB2BF5yQM&NR=1&feature=endscreen
but also two companies took this idea and patented it, and here are the results
Dagi:
P501 and P502 (old method with just stylus)
P601 (old method with ink pen in one end and stylus in the other)
P504, P505, P506 and P507 (new idea, very acurate, just like a pen or pencil)
(the P504 comes in 9 different colors)
P602 (new idea, very acurate, just like a pen or pencil- and also an ink pen in the other end)
Adonit:
Jot and Jot Pro (The best out there)
I have a Dagi P504 and an Adonit Jot Pro. I use the on my Tab on Sketchbook Pro and other Drawing and Note-Taking apps. They both are very good but the dagi does not have a cap so the point can bend in a backpack or something and the adonit jot pro is very sleek in desing and has a cap. Its up to each ones likes. I paid $18 for the P504 and $30 for the Jot Pro. I bought them on ebay. You can find all of the styles on ebay.
You can find all of the styles on ebay.You will find The Dagi from $15-$30 depending on styles and the Adonit from $25-$45
The idea from the guy on the vid works great too
NOTE: I have the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Galaxy 10.1 owners: You must have root on your device and use TouchScreenTune (free app that fixes your touch screen sensitivity). Otherwise the writing will lag. Link below:

Motorola Stylus pen with Precision Tip
On Motorola site, it says that a Stylus pen with precision tip is becoming available soon. By its picture, it seems that it is indeed precise. On the compatibility tab, it says it is compatible with XYBoard only. Is XYBoard touchscreen different from Xoom? In my opinion, if it is compatible with Xoom, it is compatible with the SGT 10.1, isn't it?
Here's the link for the pen: http://goo.gl/1y6Pb
Has anyone tried using a pen on there S2? I would like to get one for drawing on it...
Just curious before I buy one off ebay cuz I bought one off ebay for my last touch screen phone and it didn't work even though it said it would be compatible. I did a quick search and the listings says it works for it but I want to know if anyones tried them.

Say no more as there are already suggestions (as well as my own re DaGi I have).
Cheers,
fevv.
You will be able to use a stylus as long as it's designed for any capacitive screens. Capacitive stylus has a conductive tip so that capacitive screens can recognize the pen. Typical hard tipped stylus for pressure-sensitive screens won't work.
I bought some capacitive stylus on ebay for 40 cents, and they work fine. Don't expect them to be precise though.
Precise... hummm... with DaGi P101 stylus I was able to do this in 5-10 minutes playing around... and I'm a bit rusty at drawing.Imagine a true artist doing it.
see attached pics.
Awesome thanks for the info guys! Just bought a DaGi off ebay! Thanks again!
damn i would buy one if i could draw like this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4xleEK30_I&feature=related
I might buy one as well, well not for me because I don't know how to draw, but I gave my gf once galaxy tab with application to draw on it...and she's hooked up since then
I lost my s-pen recently for my SM-P600 so I ordered a replacement. It was quoted as being a EJ-PN910BWEGWW.
However what has arrived does not appear to be this.
1. No box - the picture of that part number is like this http://www.fonejoy.com/official-sam...ite-2in1-stylus-pen-inductive-pen-note-4.html (this isn't the site I ordered from) . Instead I got just the pen in a bag in an envelope. I have heard of retailers removing packaging to save delivery cost.. but read on ...
2. Pen flexes - as soon as I picked up the pen, it feels different to an official one (from memory of 2 weeks ago!). It flexes, and indeed even the button mid way down starts to come apart.
3. Pressure Sensitivity - it isn't. I use pressure sensitivity to draw/write. I've used the note range for 3+ years. This pen is NOT pressure sensitive. It draws with one pressure only rather than the 256/512 of an official s-pen. I've tried in lecture notes (standard pencils, pressure sensitivity on) and s-pen
My conclusion is that this pen is a fake.
Can anyone advise other checks/things to look out for? anything I may have forgotten/missed on pressure sensitivity?
Do samsung take any interest in fakes & retailers? Ideally I'd like to report the retailer to them as suspicious - but not if it's going to take years of my life going through a useless customer service nightmare...
Note this was a mobile outlet in the UK that deals in online and I've used once or twice in the past for small things, not an ebay purchase. Why? because I wanted a proper s-pen back!
Meanwhile can anyone recommend a "known good" source of replacement s-pens in/to the UK. I was somewhat suspicious of many of the ebay sellers. the closest I've found so far is that site above, but no idea if they are reputable.
I won't mention the retailer yet...

Hi Nigel,
I certainly believe that you've gotten a fake. According to the ad you posted, the dealer promises satisfaction guaranteed. Try returning it, and if that falls, contact Samsung. By the way, did you order the right pen? You're right-If you ordered a pen for the SGN 10.1 (2014), it should be very solid and should function well.
Anyway, I don't know if this dealer delivers to the UK or not, but I've not I had any trouble with eBay. You might try them. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Blessings,
Bob Christopulos
Hello sorry if this has been asked before. I recently bought a refurbished note 10.1 2014 ed. from amazon. It works great but I can't seem to draw at all with it because the pen nib keeps pushing in when I draw. Is this not the official model? I compared pictures of my pen with the official one and it looks the same but I have to put so much effort into drawing just so that I can use the right amount of pressure to draw. I can't decide if I should return the note or complain to the seller...
As long as I'm at it I appreciate if anyone has advice for good cases or screen protectors for the 10.1 2014 ed. Thanks in advance
Sounds like the S- pen is damaged.
I agree with the above post, sounds like the s-pen is damaged. You can get a new one on amazon for like $5 US. Just do a search for "sm-p600 s-pen" (or sm-p601, 605 etc)
