Default C-pen samsung

I just tried the samsung pen and it is not as good as expected. Its not crisp and quick. Writing with my finger is better. So the pen goes back to the maker.
It may have to do with the screen protector but I doubt it.

Removing my screen protector helped a bit but I'm still not impressed either.

How did you expect it to work? It's not smart like the s-pen on the note. All it is meant to do is replace a finger.

True. I didn't expect it to be better than s-note, but I didn't also expect to be worse than my finger!!

I'm using one of those cheap stylus pens often bundled with cases and I found that it's better than my finger. Don't see the need for a c - pen know I know it's not an improvement

This is just Samsung cashing in on the popularity of S-Pen and charging 40 times the price of some capacitive pens with no better results.

You could tell by all of the pictures that the CPen is a gimmick. I was very disappointed when they didn't replicate the Note's SPen.

Well, it is has a 3mm tip according to the specs. This is much smaller than a capacitive stylus.
