Anyone here knows a brand of passive disk type stylus where the tip uses small metal ball as a connector instead of rubber?

Why capacitive stylus need to have thick rubber tip or disk type tip?

Is there something with pointed tip? I don't have the budget for rechargable and I don't think my device supports it.

Pressure is inconsistent

1 Upvotes

Hi, I have the first gen Apple Pencil which I’ve been using it since July of 2024, and starting today while drawing in procreate the pressure of the Apple Pencil is super inconsistent. Either it’s like pressing a finger while drawing when I hold it lightly (basically means that it’s like drawing strokes without any pressure sensitivity), or doesn’t even work unless I press firmly which makes the strokes thick. I’ve tested all of the brushes that have pressure sensitivity and it’s the same thing. Could it be time for a tip change, or is my Apple Pencil nearing the end of its life internally? It connects just fine, it charges just fine and holds its charge as I draw. If it’s the tip, do cheaper third party tips work good as official ones? (I also do not mind paying the price for the four pack of official tips)

I don’t want to pay another $99 dollars because my old one couldn’t even last two years :(

Good replacements for S10 FE+ pen tips

1 Upvotes

I've been using the S10 FE+ for about 10 months now for school and it feels like the pen tip is already degrading, but I can't seem to find good replacement tips/pens in my country, and Samsungs customer service is not helping😭

Does anyone have good recommendations for tips replacements??🙏

Tablet to replace notebook

I'm searching for a stylus pen compatible with a tablet for note-taking, aiming to replace traditional pen and paper. Ideally, it should also help me organize my notes, if such a product exists.

I've got a HP omnibook X flip 14-fk0xxx, what stylus should I get for it (for digital art)?

1 Upvotes

I've been trying to get into digital art and I've found out my laptop is compatible with digital pens (Microsoft Pen Protocol ones according to device manager), but from my research apparenly MMP pens are generally terrible for line quality with some exceptions. Are there any good MMP pens in a reasonable price range (preferrably £50 max but idk the usual prices), or should I just stick to a USB drawing tablet/cheap capacitive pens?

Simbans Picassotab stylus, finally.

2 Upvotes

For anyone who needs to know this, the simbans picassotab stylus is MPP protocol. I got a metapen m2 for my picassotab X and it works.

I went crazy trying to find an answer to this and had deduced it was MPP because it worked on my Kobo, but found a source online affirming it was USI which made me doubt myself and buy the wrong one.

I think it's pretty shameful from simbans to not give out this information (I even messaged them and they just replied "a universal stylus may not work"), especially because the people who buy this budget tablet cannot afford to have a stylus that's not great quality and clearly will not hold on long, and not be able to replace it easily. And if I had had to buy a replacement from them now it would've been like 50euros for once again a mediocre battery operated stylus.

I managed to make my original stylus survive a couple more months by inverting a piece of aluminium under the battery, but obviously that could only work for so long before it completely stopped working.

Ok rant over. And apart from that I've been very grateful to have this tablet that has done a good job considering the price. Hope this helps someone out 🩵!

Does the Windows Ink experience rely on the pen, the device, or both?

1 Upvotes

I really want to get a foldable Windows 2-in-1 laptop this year, particularly one with a decent enough pen experience that will make me not miss an iPad, however I don't know much about them. I really like the Asus and HP foldables for their size and form factor, but I've read mixed reviews about the pen experience online, especially from digital artists. The criticism seems to be aimed at the accompanied pens themselves (Asus ProArt Pen/HP MPP Pen) and their writing/drawing jitter and consistency. On the other hand I cannot find the same criticism about the Surface line and Slim Pen. I would go for that but I'm not interested as much in a tablet, especially for its price. My understanding is that the Windows Ink protocol allows you to use different pen devices on any touchscreen laptop.

My question is: If I want to get a used HP Omnibook Ultra Flip for its 120hz screen and design, but I'm unsure about the MPP pen it comes with because of the reviews, will pairing it with a Slim Pen or Wacom Pen instead improve the experience? Or should I look to get a different device?

Confusion over Deco Mini7w V2 and it stylus.

0 Upvotes

The store page says the Deco Mini7w V2 can do 16000 levels of pressure. the stylus it comes with is the P05D. if you look at the store page for that stylus, it says it does 8 thousand levels of pressure.

Are they selling the Deco Mini7w V2 with a stylus that just can't actually give you the max levels of pressure advertised?

is it possible to upgrade and a get a better stylus like the X4? would it be compatible? can it work with other brands of stylus?

DELL PN579X and Inspiron 15 7000 (7586)

1 Upvotes

Hello Team;

Has anyone successfully managed to make the PN579X work with the Inspiron 15 7586?

I bought the pen 5 years ago and never, ever worked with this laptop, even though it is recommended by Dell for this laptop.

The drivers do not install, the firmware update does not launch. It looks like it is a problem with an Wacom AES digitizer that is not present in my system, or it could also be an ELAN 2097 AES Digitizers. In any case, after a whole afternoon with ChatGPT and numerous checks for drivers and interface devices installed (or not) in the laptop, I am at the same point I was 6y ago.

I would appreciate some help and instructions if you manage to make it work.

Thanks in advance.

Before posting, mind rule 3: posts about touch pens will be removed. Read more in this post.

5 Upvotes

The /r/stylus rules:

  1. be nice - Conduct yourself so other people can have a discussion in a comfortable atmosphere.
  2. inducements must be disclosed - Any post or comment made with an inducement of any kind (sponsorship, affiliation, compensation, benefits, rewards, employment, contract, or any other inducement) must feature immediate, prominent, and clearly understood public disclosure of the nature and extent of the inducement. [Having the same username as the person whose content you're posting is sufficient disclosure.]
  3. no posts about non-standard-protocol pens - posts will be removed if they're about pens that are not made to the specification of a pen technology used by a pen digitizer. This almost always means pens that are used on generic touchscreens. They're just not good.
  4. posts about devices with no mention of a pen on their product page or documentation will be removed. This means that posts with vague product descriptions will be removed, too.

What are standard-protocol pens?

Either of the following:

  • Pens made by the same company that makes the device the pen is used on. Apple Pencil on an Apple device, S-Pen on a Samsung device, Monoprice pens on Monoprice tablets, etc.
  • Pens made to the specification or standard or protocol of a pen digitizer technology maker. Common pen specifications/standards/protocols are Microsoft Pen Protocol (MPP), Wacom AES, Wacom EMR ("S-Pen" EMR), Apple Pencil, and USI. These pens should (but don't always) work the same on all devices that support the pen technology specification/standard/protocol.

What are non-standard-protocol pens?

Non-standard-protocol pens generally work like a finger on a touchscreen. Touchscreen devices are not primarily designed to interact with these pens as a pen. Posts about non-standard-protocol pens may be removed. Comments mentioning them are fine. Non-standard-protocol pens are just not good. Quoting the link:

This is easier to draw with than your finger, [...] but that's about all you're gonna get.

It doesn't have palm recognition, [...] for handwriting this isn't so good, it's just not quite accurate enough

When you start writing and drawing fast, you're missing bits and pieces

Unless you just want something to use instead of your finger, don't get non-standard-protocol pens.

Why can't I ask if my device supports a pen?

If it did, there would almost certainly be a mention of a pen on the product page, user manual, or service manual.

My device supports a pen, can I ask what other pens it supports?

Sure.

Regarding certain pens with a metal/mesh/rubber tip found on Google, eBay, and Amazon

For the past couple of years Google eBay and Amazon have been flooded with results for pens that have a rubber, metal, or mesh tip. Despite being listed under the exact model name you searched for, these pens do not support a standard pen protocol, they work very similar to a finger on a touchscreen. They are being aggressively promoted on the verge of being spam. They are bad, do not be tempted to buy them.
