My first dedicated drawing tablet was the Galaxy Tab A with S pen. The pen was almost literally a toothpick, but the drawing experience was sublime. I can't speak for the more pen shaped S pens from the S6- onwards, but just from the small one alone I could tell the quality was incredible!

Something else to note is that if you really dont like the feeling of the s pen THAT MUCH that youre starting to consider buying this is that there is so much more cheaper alternatives. The wacom one (display) pen has a hard plastic tip and a much thicker body with rubber grip. Or hell in my case i don't even need to buy any new pen, i just replace the nib with the wacom one pen nib since that also fits right in the s pen

The nib remover works just fine, it's operator error. You don't angle it, it's just push in and pull out.

There are a lot of options when it comes to EMR styli now, especially since a lot of notetaking e ink devices like the remarkable and boox devices use them. If your primary need is for the pen to be thicker (this is something that would interest me if I were actively creating art rn, as my dominant hand has...some issues), then there are plenty of other third-party options that you may want to consider first, but you would be forgoing s pen bluetooth features for those. Staedtler make brilliant pencil-like EMR styli of different thicknesses, for example.

I bought one of these pens, and it was registering input without touching similar to this video. I attached it to the back of my tab s9 ultra, restarted the tablet and it fixed the issue. I think it's a preset that is meant to accommodate the detachable note paper screen cover. I really enjoy it though! I swap between the regular spen and the creators edition

I wore out my s pen nib and just stuck an extra plastic nib from my cintiq pen in it. Fits perfect and works just fine. So if you want that more plastic feel, that’s a cheap alternative.

I was with you until you said $100 😅 switched to the Wacom One pen for $40 and it much better than the Spen. Feels great. But you will need a matte protection

I dont know if our problem is the same, but my sPen creator also drew on the tablet when i wasn't touching it to the screen when I first got it. I did some research and a few people said it was due to the presure sensory inside the pen being stuck in the "on" position in a way. Basically it thought you were pressing on the tablet, when in fact you weren't. They recomended switching out the pen tip, which didn't work for me and in the end, I just kinda hit the pen, with quite some force, on my mouse pad a couple times which, I believe, dislodged the presure sensory and fixing my pen. It now works perfectly. I dont recommend doing this on a hard surface as it may cause damage to the pen.

I'm really disappointed with their choice of hard nib. One of the reasons I switched from my iPad to my S9 Ultra for art was to stop using those screen protectors. They massively downgrade the screen quality and they're like sandpaper for your nibs. They get scratched up after a couple months of constant use. They're just frustrating to use. I think I had to replace nibs and screen protector every 3 months. If this would have had a rubberized tip, I'd absolutely give it a shot but the hard nib is an absolute no for me.

[SheeplessNW]

I was hoping to hear that it came with a choice of nibs. For example, if you could choose a nib which gave a "felt tip pen" feel, that would be good.

[dilsdoes]

if they do a bundle with this and their tablets id be all over it. one of the reasons i plan on going with samsung (besides my general disdain for apple) is that its cheaper and the stylus comes with the device. id really appreciate like an artists edition bundle thats a little more expensive (or the same price) but doesnt have the original tablet s pen so youre not paying for a stylus twice

[Just_a_commenter]

Been curious about this since it was mentioned months ago - the different tip design is neat and I may just pick one up when possible along with a screen protector... As long as it's not THAT fragile. lol My existing S Pen does work fine, and if I can try this new one at a store first, I'll go that route.

[ronnorhgih]

If you want a professional feeling pen i just ordered the wacom one stylus for like 35$ and it feels much much better than the other options

[EPeltzer]

The slightly soft rubber tip on the original S pen on my tab S7 Plus is extremely nice on glass. No matte screen protector required. You can change the tip for a harder plastic one that's included but I have no idea why you would want to do that. Actually my only beef with the original is that there's only one button and no eraser on the back end. Wacom styli like for the Intuos usually have two buttons plus the eraser, way better. I was hoping that a "creator" stylus from Samsung would have a soft tip, two buttons and an eraser but no joy at all. Skip it.

[Figuremakr]

Nobody is going to see this post....oh well.

I use my Tab S7+ with Infinite Painter all the time.
Having tried all kinds of compatible pens, my favorites are the the Staedtler for is length, the Wacom One for tilt, and the stock pen because its attached.
I also like the HP zBook x2 pen as t has both side button and eraser, however the Wacom One is far better with feel and tilt.

Youre supposed to press the s pen into the remover while its on a flat surface, then itll work

[WEERG]

standard spen is the best because it's close to the real thing in size and weight

[ayushadhikari]

I'm curious if you could use the nib of this creator edition pen on a standard s pen; I tried those titanium nibs on my s pen and it works like a charm. So I'm really interested in knowing if I could, if possible, just buy those s pen creator nibs for my normal spen...

[PatrickToast]

Get metal tips from Aliexpress and a paperlike screen protector. Perfect feeling, matte display and no worn pen tips. Loving it !

[Neefutella]

for the pen not fitting, you can always remove the hard plastic, to make more room, i usually use the samsung cover without the hard plastic and when i lay it flat, i usually put the pen on the side of the tablet rather in the back as to not put pressure.
