Note 4 stylus

Has anyone here had to replace their stylus? If so, do you have any recommendations? Most reviews are hit or miss. Thanks.

My Stylus is great no need to be replaced after all this years.
But if u need one just use any Wacom Stylus.

Here in the UK the Samsung store has them in stock:

Best way to be sure you're getting the genuine article, if you have access to a Samsung store in your country!

Or you could just replace the tip, as you probably got a set of replacement tips along with your device. I know I did.

FWIW, I've purchased several supposed samsung / OEM ones from various third party sellers that are close, but have never got one that is a true OEM. Same applies for other Note models.

The best ones have legitimate looking packaging, supplies, etc. One of the tells is that they often lack a number under the China / Vietnam stamp. Another is that they sometimes don't stay put in the pen slot and fall out.

The main issue with these is that they don't have much pressure sensitivity, which matters to me as I like to play amateur artist on my Notes. Compared to an OEM Note 10.1 2014 pen (1024 levels of sensitivity), the knockoff Note 4 pens have much less range (should have twice as much, 2048 levels). In fact, they even have less than my old tablet PC Wacom pens (which have 256 levels and are compatible with the Notes). If I were to guess, I'd say the 3rd party Note pens average 128 levels of sensitivity. I have even bought a Note 7 pen (should be 4096 levels) that came in packaging and everything but performed like this.

Otherwise, they work fine and should be perfectly adequate if you are just using them for notes, navigation, etc. Very rarely a really cheap knockoff won't have removable tips and only has like 4 levels of sensitivity, but those are less common these days. Even those ones tend to have the samsung logo and are generally sold by people claiming OEM.

I wouldn't pay top dollar for one unless I was getting it directly from samsung. I am currently doing my drawing with a Note 5 pen I bought from them (on sale for $20 last I checked), which unfortunately doesn't register as docked when in the pen slot but otherwise works great. If I weren't drawing I would use one of the several close knockoffs I paid from $4-$12 for on eBay and Amazon.

I just got 2 of them from the eBay link. They both work great. The button works, hand writing mode works well, it fits snugly in the phone and the phone knows when it’s docked. I’m pleasantly surprised since they were only $4.00 each. FYI the eBay seller says they're used and may show it but they look brand new to me.

Thanks, Geno
