Does the stylus have an eraser on the back like the Samsung one?

... Never mind. It doesn't have an eraser. Looks like the Samsung one for now. For that kind of jack it should have the same functionality.

Same here! I had a bamboo feel which had an offset. I've e-mailed bamboo to see which of their model's work but I haven't heard back yet. I'm wondering if the samsung one works well. I can't find it in any local stores though.

I have a sense this one won't work either, as one of the reviews says it's slightly off on the Note 8.0. Seems like the same issue.

I've been using a Microsoft Surface stylus without any issue. Please note I do not keep "show stylus" enabled on my Notes, but where the pen lands is where the pen draws, there is no offset with actually writing / drawing. The eraser also works. I figured I would give it a try once I heard Microsoft has a Wacom Digitizer.

Best price is surprisingly Best Buy http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pen-for...429707&skuId=8412048&st=surface pen&cp=1&lp=1 Amazon is quite a bit more http://www.amazon.com/Original-Micr...=1382232699&sr=1-2&keywords=surface+rt+stylus

I like the bamboo feel more, but i've heard it has offset issues and i'm not sure if it has an eraser so this might end up being better.

Yea I'd probably also prefer the bamboo feel but the offset is too much. If the surface pen works as well as its reported to work then I'll be happy. I've been looking around for the Samsung s pen. But only amazon has it and I'd rather not have to worry about return shipping. I might pick up a surface pro pen tomorrow.

If I do get one tomorrow I'll report back tomorrow evening.

I know that one guy/gal said that the cursor wouldn't show up if you hovered the tip over the screen, but does the air command and other stuff still work?

Good question, @wingdo do you know if airview and other pen features work? Did you disable the Cursor because It doesn't work?

I bought the surface pen, For the most part it does everything the s pen does but there is a slight offset it you use it at an angle. The eraser is a nice addition .

Everything works just as expected including the eraser, this is a stylus made for a Wacom Digitizer on the Surface Pro. I think it is the exact same pen as the Samsung one which is so hard to find. I keep the pointer disabled because I find it highly distracting.

Also I'm not a fan of the harder tip on the surface pen. It seems like you have to press harder on the screen for it to register.

I just bought the surface pen as the s-pen was giving me hand cramps for extended writing periods.

So far, the offset is quite noticeable with the cursor on and annoying when trying to draw pictures with. However for taking notes, I found it to be manageable especially with the cursor off. I'm going to stick with it until something better comes along or some way to calibrate it with root.

The harder tip is certainly preference. I'm enjoying it quite a bit as theres hardly any resistance from fingerprint smudges.

I picked up the Surface Pro pen as well. The offset is pretty large which may be how I'm holding it. If I hold it vertically it centers right up but as it tilts the offset increases.

    Just my two cents :)
    The most difficult part was removing the rubber grip. Hope this helps.

    Easy pen holder solution for stock S-Pen (Note 2014)

    Check it out!

    Go out and buy a PILOT G-2 pen.
    Unscrew and remove pen cartridge.
    Use a utility knife and cut off about 0.7mm from the tip.
    Insert Samsung S-Pen into the PILOT. Should be a perfect, snug fit.

    I received my Wacom Bamboo Stylus Feel For Samsung Galaxy Note (CS300UK2) in the mail today.

    I am not an artist. I use the stylus to take notes using either Papyrus or S-Note. I do not notice any offset. Below is a picture showing the model number on the box and a video showing me tracing lines in Papyrus. I made the video with my Note 3, holding it in my other hand.

    Bamboo Stylus CS300UK2 no offset on 2014!

    You wouldn't really notice the offset unless you were trying to draw something. The offset between the V2 with 2014 is the same as V1 and 2012/2013 model. I really noticed it when I used the V2 on my Note two and it was absolutely perfect. Sketching felt incredible natural, but it's a little awkward on my 2014 (which has Sketchbook Pro).

    I'm hanging on to it because my hand is beginning to cramp and I mostly just take notes on it anyways.

    Hi,

    I have been following this thread, which has inspired me to buy the Bamboo Stylus for Galaxy V2 directly from Wacom. I have had it for 3 days. There is no perceivable offset in any application on my 2014 (S note, LectureNotes, Infinite Painter (fantastic app!), Sketchbook Pro) or in any application on my Note 2. The stylus is beautifully weighted and elegant. The stylus button could be improved because it is difficult to see and feel. I find myself accidentally pushing it when drawing, which drives me to temporarily disable Air Command. I'm very pleased with the purchase. Offset with this stylus could be 'luck of the draw' or maybe Wacom has made adjustments to the most recently manufactured lots.
