Hello everyone, I have just yesterday bought Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and got a little bit dissapointed with stylus which is included with tablet. For me it's a little bit uncomfortable because I got used to have a bigger pen and I don't really like the tip this pen has. I was wondering if you can tel me if one of the following will work good on SGN10.1 (sorry not able to post links yet):

Penabled Tablet Pc Eraser Pen

Samsung Electronics Slate PC Digitizer Pen

Original Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 & Galaxy Note Genuine Wacom Touch Pen 8pi Stylus (ET-S200EBEG) - Black

Samsung Galaxy S-Pen Stylus with Stylus Holder for Galaxy Note

Define "work good": comfortable to hold, can draw in any position, line is smooth and so on. So please help :)

I have the s pen and holder. While pricey it's been perfect. I use my Note for school so I'm constantly writing notes. The holder is metal so it's got a nice heavy but baland feel and the tip is wider than the s pen that comes with the note. It's kind of cone shaped so it writes well even if you hold the pen at an angle instead of straight up and dowm. Highly recommend if you'll be doing a lot of writing.

Also consider the nice pens made by Lenovo for their ThinkPads - I use the stylus from my old X220T and it feels lovely on the 10.1. It has an eraser and is also a full pen size.

I also use the stylus from an old toshiba laptop/tablet that I had running XP tablet edition. Feels good with the Note 10.1. It has the eraser end but does not work with the Note 10.1.

I have a couple of generations of HP convertible tablet computers, most recent is the EliteBook 2760. These are Wacom based pen enabled. The pen works perfectly with my Note, and is now my default. Love the eraser where it should be, opposite the pen tip. There IS the issue of how the Note recognizes when you remove the S-pen, and changes some behaviors, but so far the combo of HP pen and SGN 10.1 is working for me.

I wouldn't call it an issue. The ONLY things that changes is the notification the S-Pen has been removed and S-Note popping up which can be turned on/off in settings anyway so if this is something you don't use, it wouldn't matter.
I use a Bluetooth S-pen and can quickly get to S-Notes when I need to.
