[Q] Thoughts on the Samsung S III C Pen

Hey guys,
In excitement to receive the new S III on Verizon, I have set to search for cases, screen covers, etc. However, I happened to come across the Samsung S III C Pen in another post and was wondering what your thought were on it. Has anyone try it yet?
I'm an Animation Student in Digital Arts, and would like to use the C Pen for quick sketching on the S III.
The Samsung's link is here:

Forgive me in advance if this topic was meant to be posted in the Q&A section instead of here,
Cheers,

While I can't speak to the C Pen itself, my understanding is that it is just a capacitive stylus, unlike the S Pen for the note. That being the case, you will probably end up with a similar experience to other capacitive screen styli. Their quality can vary greatly but they are all just trying to replace your finger.

I don't think this is true. I saw a video (can't remember where now) that showed this C Pen in use and although it wasn't like the Note's S Pen, it wasn't like a normal stylus either. It is supposed to only work on the GS3 from what I understand and the person in the video used it on an iPhone to prove it. I ordered one yesterday. I will update this post once I get it and let you all know what I think of it.
I also have the Galaxy Note phone so I will be able to compare the 2.

i have watched one video, the only thing interested me...was that the stylus works only on S3, but no respond on iPhone.
Just wonder if it was true or not. and whats the point for that....:good::good:

I bought one last week and ended up sending it back. It looks and feels fantastic, but it didn't work that great with my screen protector installed (Zagg InvisibleShield) The surface was too "tacky" for any real precise usage. I mainly bought it for Draw Something and stuff like that. Now if you don't have a screen protector it should work perfect. Also I was under the impression that you could use it on tablets as well, going off the Amazon description that says: "Replacement for using fingers on your tablet or smartphone touchscreen" Sadly that isn't the case. I tried it on my Acer Iconia a500 tablet and my wife's Galaxy Nexus and it didn't do a thing. That's mainly my fault though for not doing research on it before hand and just going off of the Amazon description. So all that being said, if you don't have a screen protector installed or have something other than a Zagg InvisibleSHIELD, you shouldn't have an issue with it.

What about ghost armor? I know it's same idea as Zagg, but you said "something other than Zagg InvisibleSHIELD"

If it is the same as the Zagg where the screen protector is tacky, then it will probably have the same results. It would probably work better if there isn't a screen protector on there or a crystal clear one. I have a regular capacitive stylus and using it on my Transformer, you can feel a little resistance with a "tacky" protector.

The SGSIII uses a capacitive stylus. I tried my GNote stylus on the SGSIII and it does not work. The GNote can take a WACOM (Stock) stylus and a capacitive stylus and work I believe.
I do like using S Memo from my GNote to jot notes so I ordered the OEM Stylus for my SGSIII as well.

Yea I know. I also have the GNote but I also have the Wacom Intuos 5 tablet and my GNote stylus does not work on it and the Wacom stylus does not work on my GNote either. I also ordered the OEM Stylus for my SGS3. Should be here early next week. :good:
And for the OP. Your first mistake was putting a Zagg shield on your phone. I used to use them on all my phones pretty much when they were the only option but Zagg shields suck. They're tacky like you said and they discolor, turn an ugly brownish color and the corners eventually peel (quicker than most other screen protectors I've used). There are plenty of better options out there now. I, personally, choose to keep my phones naked now. :cyclops:

Noob question:
does it take batteries somehow? I would imagine the pen simulates our fingers' electroblahblah pulses somehow... right?

A wacom pen works with magnets. You can actually write though something as thick as cardboard and it will still work.

any update? how do you like it?

I got the C pen today. If you are thinking it will be close in operation to a WACOM pen or the Galaxy Note, it is not. Not even close.
The C pen is well made but the rubber tip skips along and is not smooth. I have not quite figured out the best angle for writing (I am left handed). The C pen does work for flipping screens and apps etc.
I will keep it and play with it some more, but it is really more of show off feature that is not nearly as useful as it is on the GNote. I wanted to try it because I do actually take and keep notes on my GNote. I will update if I discover anything new.

The S pen is absolutely not worth it. It doesn't work on any other devices besides the SGSIII
And it really doesn't work any better that other styli on the SGSIII. The only thing it has going for it is that it looks beautiful.

Are the tips changeable?

Yes mine came with additional tips.

Does the writing match up exactly with the tip--like the stock pen--or is there a slight offset? I got the Samsung pen for the Slate, and there's a slight offset which is very annoying. Thanks!

Writing is as good as, if not, better than the one supplied with the note. There is no offset with this one and it feels very natural to write with.

Only it is not so convenient to carry additional pen for Lecture Note only.

My excitement quickly turned to frustration... i bought the pen from the same ebay auction everyone is using . I received the pen today and it doesn't work. There really are no instructions in the guide, nor are there any troubleshooting tips. I restarted my tablet (8010 edition), I changed the nib and I tested the pen tip and eraser tip with multiple apps. Any suggestions?

You need to uncheck battery saver option in pen settings. If you keep your original pen in the note.than the new pen wont work if. It is checked.

Fine tipped capacitive stylus?

Hi there,
So my business would be made so much easier if I could have documents signed directly on my s3. I've got the app that performs flawlessly but now I just need the stylus.
As I wait for the Note 2, are there any fine tipped capacitive stylus that is well known and works well?
Thanks for your response.

I've got a Hand Stylus which works well, it's got a 4mm tip. Smallest tip you can get that isn't device specific.
There's also the C-Pen (if I remember the name right) from Samsung made specifically for the S3, but I've heard it isn't very good.

I linked you to the Jot classic.. the $15 one. That is what I have. I don't even know if the pro works with android (and don't care, because i NOT paying 100 bucks for a stylus)

the jot flip is pretty nice, as it has a pen in it too... but I just don't carry it around enough to justify it.

I was just looking at that site XD
So it's a good stylus then? The center of the disk reads fine and all that? It's weird but their videos on the site focus more on the idea of the product than actually showing it in action. That got me kinda thinking it wasn't as good as they were making it out to be.

oh well it should show up on ebay soon!

I'm watching this too, but I will wait until some reviews come out

In my haste to order a stylus, I ordered one from Amazon and thought I chose the note 10.1. Instead I grabbed one for the regular note. Worst part is... I ripped the box trying to get it out. Now I have a $38 stylus that doesn't work. Why can't I use an Intuos one... those look nice and comfortable.

I ordered one from the Wacom site since it doesn't seem to be available elsewhere in the USA. I should get it early next week and I'll post some impressions. I assume it should should behave just like a s-pen but have a more comfortable feel since it is more pen like.

Eraser or no?

Sweet deal on the white ones.
Thanks

I purchased the white Bamboo Feel pen/stylus from Wacom and received it Friday, after using it over the weekend I can say that I like this pen much more than any of the others I have tried. It feels very balanced in the hand, and the tip/nib had a very nice feel to it much like writing on paper, even with a screen protector on my Note 10.1.
I have tried many others, the stylus that came with the Note, an old pen enabled stylus, the pen holder by Samsung and even though these stylus worked fine, this Bamboo Feel, came out the winner. It tracks perfectly, feels great in my hand, and most of all, feels most like using a regular fine quality pen on paper.
I like it so much that I am going to spend the extra money and order the more expensive carbon fiber one, just for the added weight as I like using a heavy pen when writing on paper. The weight on the white one is fine, it is heavier than any other stylus I have tried ( see above) but I think I will like the carbon fiber even more as it is twice as heavy according to the specs.
This stylus does not have the eraser on the end, if this is something you prefer.

Awesome! Does it come with replacement tips? I know the OEM Note 10.1 stylus has a hard plastic and a 'rubber' tip.. not sure what the bamboo one has..

I just received the carbon fiber model. I really like it. I tried the S-Pen Holder but didn't like the feel of the plastic tip and unfortunately that can't be swapped out like on the s-pen. The bamboo stylus FEEL comes with the rubber tip installed and has replacement tips of rubber and plastic. The weight of the pen is nice and heavy - like a fine pen. This should make note taking much better (and I already thought it was good). The obvious downside is the high price. I would have gone with the black version, assuming it was priced the same as white, but it isn't available yet.

[Q] Calibrating S Pen

I'm trying to use my Bamboo feel on my 2014, but it's off by an uncomfortable amount. Is there a fix for this? Will there be one?

if it's like the note 8 then, not without kernel source. on the note 8 you can't calibrate or change anything without editing the kernel. you may be able to pop off the button and adjust two potentiometers there and adjust your offset. my feel registers perfectly without adjustment..

looks like I lied to you. I've been using my feel perpendicular to the screen so I saw no offset. holding it naturally and drawing it's about a mm off to the bottom right. I may check to see if I can adjust tje offset with the pots, but it may mess up the offset with my windows tabjets.

I'm assuming you're also using a non-standard pen (ie bamboo or something)? My situation is just as you say. It's about a mm off to the bottom right. I said it was uncomfortably off.. but that might have been an exaggeration. I"m using it now to do my calc homework and it's not bad, but I'm getting into drawing and ti's going to be a little troublesome there.
If you find a way to fix it let me know. Thanks.

mine actually says it's for galaxy note and devices with wacom digitizers. it's a w300UK something. unless there's another one floating around mine is supposedly made for it. good thing about the windows tablets is that i can calibrate pens, so if i adjust any pots it should be able to just run calibration again on the win tabs.

Do you think taking the tip out and gently grinding it down on the end that isn't being used to write might help correct the offset a little?

Not sure if the pen body is shorter or if the nib is shortened.
You could use a fingernail emery board but what ever you use if you take to much off you may not be able to get the nib out.
2mm = 5/64 inch or 0.0787401574804 inches.

Besides the nib being shorter I don't see why this one would definitely work better than the one that I have. My bamboo is also advertised as a s-pen designed for the galaxy series.

Call Wacom and ask them what pen is correct for your device.

is it possible a firmware update will fix this?

I have the same pen, and I am returning it. the "2" version is smaller on the taper part of the pen. That maybe the missing distance required for proper alignment. I gave the pen a week or so, and I have decided that the offset is way too much to live with. If there is anyone that has tried the new version, I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Same here. In another thread someone has said that the Microsoft surface Stylus worked with the 2014 with no offset, although the cursor doesn't register when you hover it above the screen. Last I heard we were wondering if air command and other hover features still worked.

I bought it and air command and cursor Work, there is a slight offset if you hold the pen at an angle. There's no offset if you hold it straight up I also don't like the included hard nib, I'm scared of scratching the screen. The eraser Works well and its more pressure sensitive than the S-pen

That is similar to the feel, vertically there no offset. I will probably give it some time and e-mail wacom before buying the other version.

I have the same pen, and I am returning it. the "2" version is smaller on the taper part of the pen. That maybe the missing distance required for proper alignment. I gave the pen a week or so, and I have decided that the offset is way too much to live with. If there is anyone that has tried the new version, I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

I ordered the "2" version of the Bamboo Feel directly from Wacom's site and just got it. It works MUCH better than the widely available version (which I got from Amazon). As you said the tapered part of the pen is shorter, and I am able to write at an angle with minimal if any offset. I am able to make precise drawings without having to either hold the pen vertically or trying several times to get accurate lines. Also, so far I'm noticing far less random squiggles at the end of strokes that I was getting with the normal Bamboo feel. I'm happy I got this.

I ordered the Bamboo Feel on Amazon and everyone is right, in LectureNotes I had to make a 14 pixel offset to the left with that stylus. I am returning the Feel 1 and getting the Feel 2 from Wacom as noleafclover has posted. Thank you for the suggestion.
