I have one of the s pen's that will also erase is it possible to use it with out having to pull the one out of the tablet. I'm looking for a way to leave that feature turned on so the pen that came with it stays with the tablet and I can use one that I like better.
Thanks

It will work fine. I use the S Pen with eraser myself and have no issue with it. I can use it with the OEM S Pen still sheathed in the device. There is an issue with it if you have the S Pen power saving mode enabled.

On the Note 2, if the S Pen power saving mode is enabled, any S Pen will not work unless the OEM S Pen is removed. I can't remember if the Note 10.1 has this though.

It does :)

If you go to settings > spen > battery saving and make sure that box is unticked you should then be able to leave the original pen in the holder whilst using another on the screen
