Check out r/Surface. There's a lot of people over there who I'm sure would help you with your problems.

Wacom has released the driver for full support in Photoshop as of May 10th.

As far as sensitivity goes this guide really helped me out a lot. You may also look into getting a Bamboo FEEL, which has the circuit in the tip of the pen and has greater accuracy.

You may try bumping the power settings up to get a boost in power. You can actually manually go into each individual part of the machine and set it to High. I have a power setting specifically for when I'm doing intensive work or gaming on it. Of course this kills the battery, but it's worth it when you need that extra power. I have my Power Options pinned to the start screen so that I have easy access when switching between tasks.

I don't do a whole lot of typing, so the type keyboard is probably more than I need, but I was wary of the touch keyboard. I actually enjoy using the onscreen keyboard (because it's so big), but that's really just a personal preference.

EDIT: Corrected keyboard type.

Not a vape. It's a stylus for a tablet.

AmazonBasics Stylus for Touchscreen Devices Including Kindle Fire HD 8.9-Inch, Kindle Fire HD 7-Inch, Kindle Fire, Apple iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad mini, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004GCJEZU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_W1TqDbY2JTS19

u/lostpretzels · 15 pointsr/MarioMaker

A capacitive stylus is what you're looking for. This is the one I got, it works amazingly with SMM2. There's probably others worth looking at too though!

u/Hehe_69 · 13 pointsr/ipad

iStudiez is awesome. I really don't use it to it's full capability but I can't find anything else that keeps my class schedule so neat and organized.

For the stylus, I really liked the Wacom Bamboo for iPad. The tip is supposed to be a bit smaller and it does write and move very smoothly.

Now a question. Why Notebooks for iPad? What other apps did you try? I'm just curious because I've had this on my Appshopper wishlist forever. Currently I use Notability for the same reasons you listed for liking Notebooks (formatting, bullet points) so just wondering what else in particular drew you to this app?

u/CallMeFeed · 12 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

I bought this one to play The World Ends With You with. Didn't rip or tear after 45h of pretty intense use. Cheap and good quality.

Also any Stylus will work as long as it's capacitative. If it works on a SmartPhone, it'll work on the Switch

u/vanade · 10 pointsr/splatoon

It has to be a capacitive touch stylus--so one that works like your fingertip. I use a cheap one similar to this. It's unfortunately still not 100% easy to use because it has a blunt tip, but it's still more precise than my finger and helps me keep my palm off the screen to avoid stray lines. I just zoom in to do touch-ups/detailing with the d-pad afterwards.

I've read people also use the Adonit Jot Pro stylus, which lets you have a more pointed tip. More expensive tho ($30-$40).

u/Neralo · 10 pointsr/Android

So I actually do use a tablet for school that I take notes on and actually have written a few of my reports on as well. Honestly, any tablet would be fine (I'm using a Sony Tablet S. not the Xperia Tablet S, just the Tablet S). What matters is the apps and accessories you use with it.

Apps

I study business, so I don't really need to do a lot of writing. Instead, i type most of my notes out on Evernote. When I do need to write stuff, then I'll use Lecture Notes, though there is a free alternative, but I can't remember its name right now.

Accessories

Unless you choose a tablet that comes with a keyboard (Like some of Asus's offerings, you'll want a portable keyboard. There are some case/keyboard hybrids for certain devices like the one for the Nexus 7 I linked. If not, I highly recommend (and use myself) the Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Android. As for stylus, I use the Adonit Jot Pro cos it helps me write in my cursive scrawl better than most other stylii. Of course if the tablet comes with a stylus, use that.

You mentioned getting a Note 8. I personally feel that might be a little small, and I prefer a larger tablet, maybe 9.5" to 10", just cause its closer to paper size, so it'll be easier to write on. So i'd suggest a Nexus 10, or possibly a Sony Xperia Z, and also the Galaxy Note 10.1.

u/imasunbear · 10 pointsr/apple

As a student I would be very interested in a 12-13" iPad "Pro" if it featured a better solution for stylus input (I currently take notes with Notability and a capacitive stylus, but there's tons of room for improvement there) and better multitasking support (I have an iPad Air, the 1GB of RAM can be annoying at times when I'm taking notes in Notability and switching to Safari and iBooks at the same time). What I really need is a way to have my textbook PDF open at the same time as my note taking app so that I can read it and take notes, which is not currently possible with just one device (right now I put up my textbook on my iPad and type out notes on my MacBook Air).

Condensing my work load into one device would be cool, but I don't know how comfortable I'd be replacing my MacBook Air and iPad with a single iPad Pro, especially if it meant I'd be losing things like the 2 USB plugs and the Lightning plug, going down from a 256GB SSD to (likely) 128GB of storage with no reasonable way to keep an offline backup (I have a 1TB spinning disk drive with USB3 for backups and storing TV/Movies/Music).

I think the future could look more like having a more powerful desktop to use at home and then a have a iPad Pro that's somewhere in between the current iPad and a MacBook to have as a portal computing device, instead of having a laptop and an iPad that I carry around everywhere.

u/SpontaneousLightBulb · 9 pointsr/GalaxyNote8

Looks like on the Samsung store on Amazon it's $19.74.

edit: Amazon Warehouse Deals (returned ones) has them at $14.16 and $14.96 too. But yeah looks like those have options to have them sold and shipped by amazon.com as the seller.

u/BillMii · 8 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

I've only used one stylus for Mario Maker 2, and it's this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071JY98QL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I can only speak for myself, but I think it works great and it's pretty affordable.

u/themassofthesun · 8 pointsr/Nexus7

yeah...it has a conductive, spongy material at the tip example

u/DogWhoCanType · 8 pointsr/Nexus7
u/picano · 7 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

You just need a capacitive stylus. Any cheap one will do like so:

u/dcarfang · 7 pointsr/PuzzleAndDragons

HERE the micro fiber tips are amazing and i have been using it for like 4 or 5 months and had no issues with ti wearing down or sticking other than when my screen has stuff on it.

u/Catisamom · 7 pointsr/whatisthisthing

I actually think it’s a touch screen stylus missing the plastic disc. We have one just like it.

Stylus

u/TheCrazyInk · 7 pointsr/splatoon
u/adayinalife · 6 pointsr/vinyl

Awesome find, especially the SL-D2, fantastic table that should last you for years and years. Should be able to find a universal headshell on Amazon for around $20, then something like a Shure M97xE cartridge

u/Avocet330 · 6 pointsr/TheSilphRoad

I (and several others in my area) have this inexpensive one and it works great. Bonus - you can take the "cap" off and lend it to another trainer to use at a raid.

u/imanomeletteAMA · 6 pointsr/androidapps

If you want a stylus, I suggest the Adonit Jot Pro, which supposedly feels like a real pen. There isn't any palm rejection, but things that do are very expensive.

u/Abi1i · 6 pointsr/ipad

Adonit Jot Pro stylus is what I've been using for over a year on my iPad. No bluetooth but is pretty accurate for me when I take notes in class. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00931K1QK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1409966820&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40

u/Whatchamazog · 6 pointsr/Surface

The N-Trig won't work. But the Samsung and these three will:

u/Renigami · 6 pointsr/Surface

While it doesn't have the magnetic connector nor the pocket clip, this pen functionally is better than the stock Microsoft Pen for the Pro 1 and Pro 2.

And much cheaper by Amazon price comparison.

There is also the Bamboo Feel Pen, that does have a protective cap and pocket clip. Also just as cheap. There isn't an eraser end and there is only one side button.

u/calinet6 · 5 pointsr/audiophile

At that budget you should look used or vintage, you'll get a lot more for your money.

Check out Craigslist and eBay for stuff, and audio forums such as AudioKarma for recommendations on vintage gear.

As others have mentioned, you'll need:

  1. Speakers, probably 2- or 3-way bookshelf speakers (that just means 2 or 3 smaller speakers in the one box). Look for vintage brands such as ADS, Acoustic Research, KEF, Klipsch, etc. You should be able to pick up a pair for within $100-150.

  2. Amplifier. You'll need something to power the speakers and process your inputs (like a turntable). Look for an older stereo receiver from a brand name, preferably one with lots of brushed aluminum on the front. Look for Sony, Pioneer, Yamaha, Kenwood, and other names you've heard of. In this case you can often find good deals not only online but also at local thrift stores such as Goodwill, but try to test it out first. This could be had for $50-$100 depending on what you find, just make sure it has an input labeled "Phono" for your record player.

  3. Turntable. This I would recommend finding on craigslist or eBay as well. Again, you're looking for a solid deck, as heavy as possible (read: highest shipping cost, ha) and fairly old (70's or 80's) so as to be of high quality. Direct-drive is a good start since it's less likely you'll have to replace or adjust belts. Once you pick it up, I'd replace the cartridge (the whole thing that includes the needle and housing) with something brand new and good quality. this will ensure your records aren't damaged by an old needle, and that they sound their best. Pick up a Shure M97xE or a Grado Black. This should total $50-70 for the turntable and $50-60 for the new cartridge, so $100-130.

    That's a total of $250-380 if you do it right, and that's about as cheap as you can possibly get for all the components you need. If you bought new at the same price, the quality would suffer significantly, so I'd recommend reading up as much as you can on used or vintage gear, looking for deals on each component, and having some fun finding the top quality in that budget. Good luck!
u/REMAIN_IN_LIGHT · 5 pointsr/vinyl
u/BluShine · 5 pointsr/gaming

Yeah, normal pen styluses won't work on iPhone/iPad either. You need something that's both conductive and has a large enough contact area to be detected (round-tipped). Like this one.

u/nqd26 · 5 pointsr/Android

You can already buy something like http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Capacitive-Stylus-Touchscreen-Devices/dp/B008HJGPVO

Note's stylus magic is part software and part hardware - display contains special layer for sensing the stylus. That's why Note's stylus doesn't work on other phones, not because of software support.

u/poopyheadthrowaway · 5 pointsr/gadgets

If you own a Surface Pro 3, you can pick up a backup stylus from HTC for under $10.

Chromecasts are available for around $20 if you shop around.

Having an extra wireless mouse in your bag is nice.

You can get a cheap slow-cooker or crock-pot for around $20.

Cheap cast-iron skillets are around $20, too.

EDIT: Also, a cheap rice-cooker. I'm typically against unitaskers and I've refused to get one for years, insisting that a pot and stove can do the same thing, but after a friend gave me hers I haven't looked back. It's just so convenient.

u/LickItAndSpreddit · 5 pointsr/Nexus7

This is the specific one I'm trying out.

Full disclosure: I will be testing it out and providing feedback on it as a product tester. I am getting the product at a discounted rate, but this has no bearing on my review of the product.

This one actually has a lot of excellent reviews, and I like that the tip is retractable (I assume this cuts down on accumulation of lint, dust, dirt, and debris when it's stored in a pocket, in a bag, etc.).

I also came across this one, which has replaceable tips (so the entire stylus body doesn't need to be thrown out when a tip is worn out). It has the same rating, but more than 1.5 times the reviews of the one I'm getting.

Reading through some of the reviews of the first product, it seems like the tips do last for a while.

If you do want to see if you can get better precision (I realize now this is a more appropriate word than accuracy) I would suggest you try to open up one of the tips and 'stretch' it to a point with a plastic 'nub' (like a coffee stirrer) and see what the screen response is like. It would likely involve a lot of 'kludging', but when I first got a rubber-tipped capacitive stylus I thought of doing something similar to get a finer implement.

u/HiJynxie · 5 pointsr/whatisthisthing

Its a precision stylus. It would be used for things like drawing or writing on a phone or tablet. They can actually get to be pretty expensive.


This is a similar one. Same type of tip.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CA66YGQ?pc_redir=1414013195&robot_redir=1

u/GalacticSloth · 5 pointsr/EDC

This one has an aluminum body design which is quite durable and it uses a fiber tip which also lasts longer compared to rubber ones and it comes with replacement tips as well.

u/Xuliman · 5 pointsr/fountainpens

Not sure if it’s the exact same one but I just bought this one today. It was recommended by someone in another thread. Note there are rigid and non rigid sided options.

u/Shensta · 5 pointsr/fountainpens
u/NeonXero · 5 pointsr/MarioMaker

Not sure if it's widely recommended, but I got

This one

And it's been great so far.

u/XenoShulk19 · 4 pointsr/MarioMaker2

Not OP, but this one has worked out great for me so far. I've made a few levels and it's been perfect and very precise.

u/DarTHCidious · 4 pointsr/vinyl

If you want something within the $100 range, I recommend the Grado Prestige series ( Black for $60 and the Green for $80), Ortofon 2M Red ($90), or the solid Shure M97xE ($75±).

My personal experience is based on the Grado Black and the 2M Red, with the Shure trailing behind. The dynamics are spectacular and the advantage with the Grado and Ortofon is that they can be upgraded with a change of the stylus. In otherwords, when the stylus on the Grado Black goes out you could purchase the replacment stylus or go for the Green stylus.

u/GirlWithRedHair · 4 pointsr/vinyl

I upgraded my AT95E cartridge to a Shure M97xE based on a couple suggestion posts I read here. A lot of people say that for the price the cartridge can't be beat.

If you search this sub for Shure, you'll find posts with pretty good information and comparisons on entry level cartridges. Here's a M97xE cartridge thread and here's a Shure M97xE vs Ortofon 2M Red thread.

u/MonsterTea · 4 pointsr/tablets
  1. There are several types of digitizers. Wacom, N-Trig, Capacitive, and supposedly Synaptics on the new dell venue 8 pro. I'm not too familiar as to the actual definition of digitizer, but from what I know, there is another screen within the Wacom and N-Trig tablets allowing for better accuracy from the stylus and pressure detection. Capacitive is your standard tablet. Just touch screen, and you do have the option of getting a rubber ended stylus to try to write. However, it is nowhere near the technology of the Wacom and N-Trig.

  2. Capacitive is simply touch screen. As I have said before, you do have the option of buying a rubber domed stylus for the capacitive. A capacitive tablet won't be able to use the stylus from a Wacom tablet. Your tablet is a capacitive tablet.

  3. I'd say that note taking isn't that bad. People usually buy wacom enabled tablets for photoshop and note taking. If you find that the Asus t100 is decent with it's capacitive screen, then it shouldn't be a problem.

  4. If you're looking for a capacitive stylus, you might want to check out these:

u/STUstone · 4 pointsr/ipad

I have a wacom bamboo stylus. It works well and feels good in my hand. Im no art major, but I was able to draw some neat things with it like casper and this guy with it. Don't pay more than $30 for it though, I just saw they raised their prices

u/flosofl · 4 pointsr/ipad

I had one of those pens and used it for years until I discovered Noteshelf. It was useful in that it synched with Evernote (which I no longer use).

These are my go to applications for work now:

  • For note taking I use Noteshelf almost exclusively now.
  • PDF annotation I use Goodreader, but I'm thinking of checking out iAnnotate
  • For OCR scanning I use Scanner Pro
  • For tasks I use Do It (Tomorrow) HD
  • For simple text documents I'm still deciding between Byword and iA Writer
  • For word processing I use Pages
  • For quick white board sketches I use Adobe Autodesk SketchBook. Yeah it's overkill, but I can whip out a quick and dirty diagram on this and it's actually cheap.
  • For more formal tech diagrams I use TouchDraw

    I don't know if he uses a Mac desktop or not, but if so, this is the ultimate document/information/everything management platform:

    DevonThink Pro Office coupled with DevonThink To Go

    For a stylus, I cannot recommend the Wacom Bamboo stylus enough. It has the right heft and weight of a premium pen and the nib glides over the screen. As a bonus the nibs are completely replaceable as they wear out. I recommend ordering the replacements from Wacom directly. While it may take longer to ship, it's only 25% the cost resellers are charging on Amazon.
u/hedera3 · 4 pointsr/TsumTsum

Just a general tip for any character - keep a bubble or two handy so that when you've cleared several long chains in succession you can pop a bubble so it stops the animations and gets the new tsums to fall right away.

I used to use my finger to play and was really fast, but playing so much my finger tip was actually aching. I got a stylus and while it initially slowed me down a tiny bit, now I'm faster with a stylus and it keeps your swiping hand from obscuring the screen, so you can see and make matches even faster.

I bought this one from Amazon and it's super - very comfortable and the tip is great. I recommend getting the replacement tips so you have them on hand.

u/prc2 · 4 pointsr/Surface

I think you may have to go with the surface pro 1 (the RTs don't have stylus input, and the Del venue is too small imo). You can get refurbished surface pro 1's for around ~$400 on ebay I think.

Out of the box, however, the note taking experience won't be particularly great due to the not-so-great calibration of the pen and the pretty bad pen that's included.

I highly suggest buying the wacom feel pen (http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Microsoft-Surface-tablets-technology/dp/B00BVUQZZ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404214200&sr=8-1&keywords=wacom+feel), its $40 more, but it's rubber pen nib adds texture so it doesn't feel like you're writing on glass, and I find the cursor on the screen to track the wacom feel stylus better than the stylus included.

Next I would do the 273 point calibration, yes it's a lot, but it makes things oh so much better: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171198
Also look though the wiki since it contains some really nice hidden gems (how to ad block on metro IE, DPI scaling, etc.)

u/grumpy_bob · 4 pointsr/giantbomb

Yup! That's the one. I added an edit in my post for those searching for the best switch stylus in the future. Here's another link to the amazon page.

u/NotDroopy · 4 pointsr/vainglorygame

The people who use thumbs suck no offense I'm just saying it's way easier without thumbs. most people put it on the table and maybe prop it up and use their index fingers. I personally like to use a stylus and hold it but there are many ways. I just recommend not using thumbs

Edit: sarcasm, but who are you sat what's better for who? Because you think using a stylus sucks, doesn't mean they suck or the people who use them suck. Druid uses a stylus and is considered the best laner in the world to many people.

u/HeroTruth · 4 pointsr/PuzzleAndDragons

https://www.amazon.com/MEKO-Precision-Stylus-Bundle-Replaceable/dp/B00N1BRWLA

I use this thing. Great value. I keep one at home near the bed, for late night padding, and one on me when im out and about.

The option to switch from disc to mesh tip is great too. You get 4 disc and 2 mesh tips that also come with the box.

I use disc for solving quickly, but mesh tip for lazy farming.

one gripe i have is that when you put the cap on the mesh portion, and you screw off the cap, sometimes the mesh tip goes with the cap.


Otherwise great stylus. Mesh tip lasts extremely long, havent had to replace it. Disc is lasting a while too, for 5 months of padding I havent had to replace either tip.

u/dabear04 · 4 pointsr/ipad

I have an Air 2 and take handwritten notes on it almost every day for work (Evernote). I got these for writing and they work great. I can't comment in how they compare to the Apple pen but they're not quite as good as writing on my surface pro but definitely usable. Only downside is that there's no good way to rest your hand on the iPad and write but I've gotten used to it. Just my $0.02. Hope this helps.

u/violenttango · 4 pointsr/harrypotterwu

I got this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N1BRWLA?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share but I actually use the non precise end to greater effect. I had about 4 masterful casts prior to purchase, now I'm up to around 50

u/Septfox · 4 pointsr/lgv30

Similar, yes. Equivalent, no.

The S-Pen pairs with a custom Wacom digitizer in the Note-series phones. It's going to be the most accurate choice, hands down, and it'll probably have special considerations for palm detection as well (don't know for sure, never had a Note).

The best you could get with a normal smartphone digitizer would be using a plastic/rubber disc style stylus, which will be up to as accurate as a finger touch can be. You could give it a try with your current phone before choosing, the Meko stylus is pretty cheap.

u/coastercrazy10 · 4 pointsr/PuzzleAndDragons

Thumb day-to-day, stylus for 7x6 and ranking dungeons.

I use this stylus and it's by far the best I've tried: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N1BRWLA. The XM tournament will be crown #15 for me, and I can tell you this makes crowning significantly easier than with any other stylus or using your finger. YMMV of course but I couldn't imagine playing without this thing.

u/attack_of_the_show · 4 pointsr/ipad

When I sold my Surface Pro 3 awhile back, I moved to an old android tablet for my notes and found these on Amazon. I've had a great experience with these so far and it's nice having the choice between the fine tip or the rounded side for jotting notes down quickly.

u/AudibleKnight · 4 pointsr/pokemongo

I bought this:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N1BRWLA

a while back. I ended up pulling it out after legendary pokemon had been out for a bit, and I was getting frustrated with my finger tip having different consistencies (ie my finger would drag more or less at different times) that would affect my throws. I now use it on my iPhone 6 every time I catch a raid boss now.

The stylus has 2 tips. A fiber tip and a disc tip that is covered by a cap. I feel like the fiber tip doesn't catch my movements 100%, which led to some wasted throws. The disc tip however is perfect as it's basically a little plastic circle that has a joint that lets it flex and move as you move the stylus (and thus why it needs a cap to protect it).

However, since you're more concerned about cost, you're probably better trying a bag of the cheapo keychain/pen stylus and see if that works good enough.

u/eChris251 · 4 pointsr/ipad

>I do mostly the same on the iPad, it works mostly well except on iOS 11 you can’t use the pencil to swipe up the dock/control center which is extremely annoying.

That annoyed me too! The way I got around it is by getting this for the end of my Pencil:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XSVBSTG (FRTMA for Apple pencil cap replacement as Stylus; you have to get the black one with the silver rim; FRTMA makes another pencil cap in several colors that doesn't function as a stylus)

It's so nice to just flip over the Pencil and use it as a stylus for the full range of hand gestures, plus it feels nicer when using the on-screen keyboard than the tap-tap-tap on screen sound of the tip of the pencil. Then when I feel like actually doing handwriting, I just flip the Pencil over in my hand and use it as normal. Really love working like this.

(BTW, for artists, if you configure Procreate to use your fingertips as an eraser and the Pencil as your drawing tool, this lets you flip over the Pencil and actually use it as an eraser, like a real Pencil eraser.)

Also, I'd recommend MyScript Stylus if using the onscreen keyboard is a problem due to RSI. It's free so it's worth trying. It had some strange bugs with early versions of iOS 11 but I haven't had problems recently.

u/Alan-anumber1 · 3 pointsr/vintageaudio

I personally use the Shure M97Xe phono cartridge, on a 1970's vintage Technics SL-1200 MkII turntable hooked up to the phono input of a 1970's Marantz 2230B receiver. I use a Focusrite 2i2 for analog to digital conversion, hooked up to the Marantz's tape out. I capture and edit in Audacity.

I use the Marantz with a pair of '80s vintage DCM bookshelf speakers in nearfield fed audio from my desktop computer's soundcard into the receiver's tape monitor circuit.

The Marantz was a thrift store find that I cleaned, adjusted and replaced the capacitors in. The DCM speaker's woofers were refoamed with Simply Speakers refoam kits as well as the capacitors replaced in the crossovers.

The Technics turntable has a modern cartridge installed as most vintage phono cartridges would be a downgrade. Fresh manufacture is your friend here as the rubber suspension would be suspect on a new old stock cartridge and the diamond styli wear out, ruling out used cartridges with unknown use and wear (my vintage records are more important!). I also replaced the cue light on the Technics and repalced the DJ style platter mat with a more appropriate Technics OEM mat.

For my time and effort of restoring my vintage gear, I find it sounds better than entry level audiophile gear. It also is easier to service (for me) and looks just cool (IMHO).

u/BTsBaboonFarm · 3 pointsr/vinyl

At $700 for a budget, here is what I suggest you do...

  1. Remove the built in phono preamp from the LP120

  2. Go with one of these phono preamps:

  1. Pick up the Audioengine A5+ powered speakers.

  2. Use whatever remaining budget you have to either buy some cheap speaker stands (it is not advisable to put them on the same surface as the TT unless you have some isolation pads), and potentially upgrade the cartridge on the LP120
u/hellomika · 3 pointsr/vinyl

Decent value cartridges: Shure M97 and Grado Black.

u/_stupidsexyflanders_ · 3 pointsr/vinyl

You are not going to get anything better around $40. While I haven't tried it yet, people say the [Shure M97xE] (http://www.amazon.com/Shure-M97xE-High-Performance-Magnetic-Cartridge/dp/B00006I5SB) is a great upgrade. At $73, it's in your budget. Then if you wanted, you could later upgrade the stylus to a jico. Make sure when you replace the cartridge, you re balance the tone arm and align the cartridge. Vinyl engine has the protractor you would need for alignment.

u/1_man_band · 3 pointsr/vinyl

Here's a headshell that will work, and a cartridge

You will need to download and alignment protractor from VinylEngine and maybe get and overhang gauge if you want overhang to be spot on.

I haven't used the Shure cartridge I linked too, but it's pretty well regarded.

u/hurrayforzac · 3 pointsr/vinyl

as far as i know, DJ styli aren't inherently horrible. the main problem with DJing is the tendency to use too much tracking force to compensate for manhandling the records. i don't think any of your records have actually been "wrecked" by the most likely higher-end cart the guy gave you. what cart did they give you, anyway?

but if you really want a new cart, this one, this guy, or this beauty are all pretty nice from what i've heard.

u/DannyDougherty · 3 pointsr/Ingress

I like this stylus which is affordable and has several different sized tips. It also glides relatively easy. The only drawback is it's a little smaller than a normal pen, so can feel slightly weird to hold.

u/BygRw · 3 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

I own this one, and it works perfectly. It just needs to be capacitive

u/Ulreki · 3 pointsr/TheSilphRoad

I used a conductive stylus this community day. Big fluffy gloves and a stylus in hand is how I've been playing in the cold and it's really helped a lot. I specifically bought this pen because it was cheap and works well enough. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008HJGPVO/

u/greywolf928 · 3 pointsr/hardwareswap

Buy this stylus. It's absolutely amazing.

u/miguelfp1 · 3 pointsr/Surface

If you're open to getting a compatible pen instead of the original one, both the Wacom Bamboo Feel and this Fujitsu one are popular options

u/Dashwolf · 3 pointsr/PuzzleAndDragons

I have actually 2 stylus that I use, both of which i recommend highly.

Lynktec's Truglide
http://www.lynktec.com/Fine-Tip-Fiber-Stylus-TruGlide-Pro-p/lttg-0005.htm
At $15(sometimes at $10 when they have sales/promo), lynktec's truglide pro is very affordable and fast. this is the stylus i use for speed farming, and multipurpose use. the tip is of a rigid micro fibre head, so you dont need to press the stylus down to make contact, hence smooth and fast navigation. Great for ranking dungeons where speed matters.

Su-Pen mini
https://www.amazon.com/Su-Pen-Stylus-Plated-iPhone-Nickel/dp/B00GI34FX6/ref=lp_8418750011_1_4?srs=8418750011&ie=UTF8&qid=1483508613&sr=8-4
$36++, on the pricier side of things, the stylus that every japanese pad player uses pretty much. this stylus have more traction than the lynktec, I actually move slower with the su-pen, but in exchange for that, this is a very precise and accurate stylus. I use it when I need to play my ronove teams or combo teams. The head is a soft microfibre head, you kinda need to press the stylus down slightly for contact. Slight traction, slower but precise, good for difficult dungeons where you need to pay attention.

i've gone thru at least 10 stylus brands, and these 2 are the best for me so far. I highly recommend these.

ps: i hate adonit jot pro with a passion because that disc gimmick scratched my previous iphone screen since I dislike using those screen protectors... Do not consider adonit jot pros unless you use screen protectors. When in doubt, always get stylus with microfibre heads.

u/msherretz · 3 pointsr/PuzzleAndDragons

Notability has palm rejection built in, it can be enabled in settings. For a stylus I recommend Adonit Jot Pro Fine Point Precision https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R33ZYCG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_TDwnzbZP2R2AZ
It's very accurate and no need for bluetooth or charging, not too expensive either

u/iroll20s · 3 pointsr/ipad

If you don't care about bluetooth pressure sensitivity this is the closest. The touch 4 has pressure sensitivity for about $50. Some people don't like the disc, but its the finest point you'll get for cheap.

If you can order from Fry's Electronics the Wacom stylus is in-stock. But I would rather get the Samsung S-Pen with eraser which is no longer manufactured or being sold. I'd buy that any day over any of the other official Samsung Note compatible pens.

u/digitizerstylus · 3 pointsr/stylus

There's the Staedler pencil which is getting excellent reviews, although I haven't tried it personally. There's the Tab S3 pen which is very good and a little larger than the "toothpick" pens. I personally use a Wacom Bamboo Feel but they don't seem to be available any more for a reasonable price. They were $30-$40, and now they're going for $100-$400...

Have always been a note user and the spen is something I truly miss. This is the option I've used so far which is good but nothing will ever match an S pen. I don't think it should damage the screen in anyway unless pressured hard.

The pen might be dead. I had intermittent sensitivity issues on the pen that came with my phone as well. If your troubleshooting comes up empty you could buy a replacement S pen on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074GB37V7?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

I bought one a few months ago because of low sensitivity which was, I suspect, caused by a loose connection in the pen. I was a little worried about the authenticity but I can confirm that the one that's "sold by Amazon" is legitimate. I've been using it for a few months and it works better than my old s pen. Comes in the official sealed Samsung packaging too. I got it on sale for $22 but it seems to have gone up to $30, which is still discounted from MSRP. Totally worth it though, if you need a replacement

u/rvcjew2 · 2 pointsr/samsung

Does it still work (not sure where the button guts are but it does use the click button on the end that broke to determine it is in the silo also if you have it break apart in the silo you will have a hell of a time getting it back out.

And as for the speakers, just keep checking craigslist. For lower amounts of money used is always better than the new speakers in that price range.

I'm currently saving up to buy this so a gift card would be cool!

u/OJNeg · 2 pointsr/vinyl

Would a Technics headshell fly? Also, here's a budget cartridge that gets recommended often around here. You should search around for other options though.

u/Turquoise_HexagonSun · 2 pointsr/vinyl

I'd recommend the venerable Shure M97xE.

This is the go-to cart for many beginners for several reasons; primarily because its sound signature doesn't particularly emphasize any frequency and tames sibilance well. The stock stylus is more elliptical than most at 0.2 mils while most ellipticals are 0.4 or 0.3 mils. This means that the Shure can track deeper into the groove and subsequently tracks better than other carts in its price range (I've personally verified this). The stylus also has a flip-down brush built in making the cartridge appropriate for most tone arm masses (light to heavy). Brushes not only sweep dust away but help damp tone arm vibrations. There is also a healthy selection of after market styli, so when it's time to replace your stylus you can get a stock stylus rather cheaply or you can splurge and get a nice shibata replacement stylus.

It's just a good sounding, affordable cart that works well on a wide range of tone arms.

u/LobsterMeta · 2 pointsr/vinyl

https://www.amazon.com/Shure-M97xE-High-Performance-Magnetic-Cartridge/dp/B00006I5SB

This thing is $200! I have a strong feeling that I'm going to buy this and still not be as satisfied as if I spent $350 on the U-Turn. If it does solve my problem and sounds good, I'd be ecstatic, but after replacing the stylus and buying a preamp in a failed attempt to fix my problem, I'm wary of throwing down even more money.

Is there any cheaper alternatives to this cartridge that are almost as good? Like I said I'm willing to spend it if it's truly the solution but I'd be way more willing to buy a nice cartridge for $100 if possible.

Thank you for your advice

u/TheFrodo · 2 pointsr/vinyl

Cartridges come with a stylus.

One of the most widely praised that's on the cheaper end is the Audio Technica AT95e for $40. You may consider the Shure M97xE and Ortofon 2M Red which are both $100, though.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/vinyl

Ortofon OM10 for $70

Shure M97xE for $70

u/bootbox · 2 pointsr/vinyl

Turntable: Pro-Ject Debut Carbon - $399.00. I don't like the cartridge options on this one so if it were me I'd get the cheapest cartridge option, sell the cheap bundled cart, and buy a new one. The table itself gets really positive reviews though, everyone was pretty stunned when this came out for this price. Carbon fiber tonearms used to be mostly attached to $2000+ tables.

Amp: While it's tempting to recommend vintage gear here, it cost me a nice chunk of time, money, and research to get my all-vintage rig up and running, and there are very nice modern options that will match the modern table better and sound incredible, all with no hassle.

I like the Marantz PM5004 - $449.00. Great brand, great specs, and a built-in phono pre-amp. You can always get a better pre-amp if you want to upgrade to a low output, high end Moving Coil cartridge in the future, but this will sound great and you may feel no need to ever upgrade.

Cartridge: I've heard a handful of $200.00 and below cartridges in my time and this $69.00 cartridge is my favorite so far - Shure m97xe. It's cheap and sounds incredible. It gets brought up a lot, but it's wildly popular for a reason.

That leaves $83 for speakers and wires. You can go a bit low here and get these nice Dayton 6.5 inch bookshelfs for around $30.00, or spend a bit more than your budget and get the $149.00 Pioneer SP-BS41-LR in this price range. They were designed by famed speaker designer Andrew Jones and get great reviews.

u/dmcnelly · 2 pointsr/vinyl

Depends on your budget, really.

Looking to spend under $100?

A lot of people like the Shure M97xE, given it's reasonable price and excellent reproduction.

The Grado Green1 is another solid choice. Grado makes an excellent cartridge.

The Ortofon OM 10 is an amazing cartridge. Unfortunately, the replacement styli are rather expensive.

Not looking to spend more than $50?

The Audio Technica AT 91ECD is a great cartridge. I had one, and it was quite nice. My only complaint is that the universal mounting made it bottom out on occasion.

The Ortofon Omega is another good budget choice. Needs a little heavier tracking force than I'd like, but it sounds quite good.

There's also the trusty Red Ed cartridge. You'd want the elliptical version, for better tracking.

Money no object?

Clearaudio Goldfinger.

u/Asplundh · 2 pointsr/vinyl

I've heard good things about this, but I've never used it so I can't personally attest to it's quality. This is definitely the cartridge I'm going to get once I find a decent used turntable to replace this gosh darned LP60.

u/canadad · 2 pointsr/audiophile
u/WhollyJeans · 2 pointsr/vinyl

Cartridges are like cars ...everybody has a favorite. Some for the technical aspects, some for the "musicality" of the cartridge and some just 'cause itsa ____ (fill in the blank of your fave cartridge maker).

A very good cartridge that works for your price range and would compliment your TT is the Shure M97xE. It runs about $75:

http://www.amazon.com/Shure-M97xE-High-Performance-Magnetic-Cartridge/dp/B00006I5SB

I have one on my Technics SL-D2.

As you are new to the turntable business and you're going to mount your first cartridge, here are two good resources in what goes into setting up your table:

http://www.audiophilia.com/features/cartridge_setup.htm

http://www.turntablebasics.com/advice.html

At a minimum you'll need a cartridge alignment gauge ...a stylus force gauge is also very handy for making fine changes to the tracking force. Patience and time are needed to mount a cartridge but you will be rewarded for your efforts. You can download some free alignment guides off the internet and print them ...but I wouldn't trust them. Turntable Basics has an excellent gauge; I have one and it is by far the easiest most accurate gauge I have ever used. I grew up when records and turntables were the way you listened to music. Getting your cartridge properly mounted and aligned to your tonearm is probably the most critical job in setting up and optimizing your TT. And with vinyl, your TT is the star of the show. It's where the music starts. Vinyl is a very analog medium. How accurately the stylus tracks the groove of the record will determine how good everything else is gonna sound.

You can do this.

u/mrojek · 2 pointsr/vinyl

Shure m97xe, the best bang for the buck out there plus a stabilizer brush!

u/lancevo3 · 2 pointsr/vinyl
u/nevermind4790 · 2 pointsr/vinyl

As for a mat, a cork one would do well to prevent static.

Audio Technica makes this headshell for $25.

There's a lot of options for cartridge. This Audio Technica for $40 is highly recommended. The Shure M97xE at $70 is also a good cart. I own the Shure myself and I believe it sounds great, though I find its ability to track every record I've played so far without skipping to be more impressive.

u/wgboyd · 2 pointsr/VinylDeals

There are a number of sellers of this cart listed on the page. The primary seller is Shure and that's what comes up by default. That's $99 and you can have it today. However, Amazon is another seller, listed down on the right if you're using a desktop and their price is $58. If you select that option, like others have noted, it's currently out of stock - but priced at $58 so once it comes back into stock, they will bill and ship it to you.

u/cakeod · 2 pointsr/vinyl

I would suggest looking around Craigslist and local record stores/thrift shops for a used turntable. Personally, I would recommend something direct drive, fully manual and Technics if you can find one in your price range.

Even if you cheap out on the turntable itself, getting a nice cartridge can help a lot. Personally, this is my cart of choice, its cheap and awesome.

I suggest buying a new LP to test it out. A modern 180 gram audiophile pressing is more likely to give you a much better first impression than a scratchy old record.

u/niandra3 · 2 pointsr/vinyl
  1. What's the deal with the Shure M97xE.. it seems like it's been around for a while, and I have read it's sold for about $70. But on Amazon it's not available until 9/26 and it's $100. Same price on a few sites I checked. So it this a new version with a higher price, or the same version, or what?

  2. I'm looking to upgrade the cart on my Sl-1200 MK2.. I currently have an AT95E, but am willing to spend around $100. What pairs well with the 1200 mk2? FWIW I'm listening to mostly new records, all in good shape and using a HT theater with a cheapo phono pre (maybe I should upgrade the pre first..) I've been looking at the M97xE and the Ortofon Red.. either of those pair well with the 1200, or something else?

This is the stylus I use. I like it because it fits in the little loop on the front of my case and it has replaceable nibs.

While you're right about the fact that it's a capacitive touchscreen and an older style plastic stylus won't work, there are plenty of stylus made today out of material that conducts electricity so as to be compatible, they are quite common.

I use my phone and I picked up a stylus earlier this week. I think it's worth it because it helps me see what I'm drawing, and I can be more precise. Bought these.

u/TemptedTemplar · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

The amazon basics one is plenty popular, due to its smaller tips and the fact that rubber will never scratch your screen.

For something more accurate, Ive seen people recommend these types as well, as despite the disk at the tip, the system only registers the fine point in the center of it.

u/Boothecus · 2 pointsr/whatisthisthing

u/blackesthearted · 2 pointsr/samsung

There is a variant of the Tab A that comes with a stylus, but if you mean the models that don't, it depends on what kind of stylus you mean. If you mean a Wacom stylus like the Note line has, nope. You can use a capacitive stylus, of course, though I don't personally have any recommendations for a good one (though I've heard good things about the Adonit Jot styli).

u/MathTheUsername · 2 pointsr/MarioMaker

>I don't even have the meaty masculine hands of a real man

I laughed out loud at this. It's been a long day at work, and this made my day better.

The switch needs a capacitive stylus. I recommend the amazon basics stylus. It has 3 different sized points.

Some might think $8 is too much for a stylus though, but I can say this one feels great and is high quality.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008HJGPVO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Otherwise, you can probably find one at the dollar store or wherever for cheap.

u/Cageythree · 2 pointsr/AndroidQuestions

There are universal styluses with a rubber tip working on every touch screen. But a Note-like stylus with extra buttons won't work, the S7E has no sensor to react to those.

I believe any comparable N-Trig stylus will work. Same technology, just like the previous SPs could use any Wacom styluses of the same vintage.

I've seen references to people enjoying this one for example, but I'm sure there's plenty more.

u/tom4pres · 2 pointsr/Surface

I mostly agree with the guy in the video. The biggest issue I've run into is the trying to work in Photoshop without a keyboard. I have a little 8 button on-screen keyboard that I've cobbled together to get me by. The option to remap the pen buttons would help a lot. Apparently that can be done with Auto Hotkey. I'll be looking into it soon.

I've also noticed that I have to press really hard to get a brush at full pressure. The HTC pen somebody posted here last week looks to be a little looser in that regard and I will be checking it out soon. ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LEKI0O )

There's some lag on strokes. Depending on the brush/brush size/canvas size it can be a little annoying. The Stumpy Pencil brush has some major lag on my desktop when it is set to a large size, so I'm not surprised that it tends to be pretty laggy on the SP3 too.

I use a Cintiq at work, and Yiynova on my Desktop. The SP3 holds up pretty well. It's not perfect but it's pretty good and it's portable.

The battery's good. I wish I had a second charger, but $80 is too steep at the moment. I picked up a bluetooth mouse because I don't like trackpads very much. I have a good size scratch on the back from carrying it around in my bag for less than a week. I have a sleeve now to protect it ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FF5JTH0/ ). I appreciate Windows 8.1 a lot more now.

u/Goobah · 2 pointsr/ipad

I use this one every day in school with Notability.

The tip has capacitive fiber wrapped around a rubber tip. It feels super smooth when writing. I added a rubber grip from a spare pen I had to make it easier to write for longer periods though. This makes it even better. Plus, it's so damn cheap!

Highly, highly recommended for note taking.

u/sprcow · 2 pointsr/PuzzleAndDragons

I tried half a dozen different styluses when I first got into pad and found that my favorite by far was the amPen. It has the woven metallic tip that never sticks like many of the cloth or rubber fiber ones do, and it is extremely light, unlike many of the other metallic tip styluses I tried.

It's been a few years, so perhaps they've improved, but I found that the friendly swede products worked amazing for awhile but eventually the tip would start sticking, no longer sliding smoothly along the glass. I know you can try to clean them off, but it ended up being too high maintenance, so I switched to the woven metallic type, which doesn't appear to have a similar problem.

u/TylerPAD · 2 pointsr/PuzzleAndDragons

This is the stylus I use:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008MOHLVC?pc_redir=1408029108&robot_redir=1

The hybrid tip is very smooth on the screen. In fact, I was slipping off the screen when I first used it :p. The stylus is much better than the thumb when you get comfortable with it!

Using a stylus makes playing much easier for me because I can see the whole board while I manipulate orbs.

Its a bit pricey but I figure I've thrown more stones at this game because I wasn't able to see where I was going and died. It's worth the investment for me.

I recommend it to people who want to use diagonal movements more consistently, increase board awareness, or have really fat fingers! :p

Works great, and best of all, no more smudges on my screen :)

I have not really used it for writing notes though. I use it for most other tasks but note taking. The tip is pretty big, so not sure how accurate it would be for taking notes.

For general use, it is a great stylus though.

This is the one I use. It has a precision tip. I really like it. But you have to be careful if any small particles get under the little plastic disc on the tip, it could scratch your screen. The easiest way to prevent this is just to use a microfiber cloth, and wipe down the screen before use.

I tend to hear a lot about the Adonit Jot styli when looking at such things for capacitive screens. Products like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Adonit-Precision-Android-Samsung-Windows/dp/B00931K1QK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1457279462&sr=8-3&keywords=Adonit+Jot

There are a few alternatives but most people stick to the cheap round fat end ones. There is an eKit Paintbrush or the more accurate Adonit Jot Pro Stylus but I think it's better to have a screen protector for that one.

u/zeththedarkmage · 2 pointsr/Surface

Only recommendations would be getting a Wacom Bamboo Feel stylus. They are much heftier and have a much better pen feel than the regular stylus and a Freedom case. The freedom case makes up for all the angles you lose by not having a surface pro 3 while looking really nice and protecting the easy to scratch back of the surface. They both completed my surface pro experience and I can't recommend them enough.

u/TCMGhost · 2 pointsr/chromeos

Forgot to mention you will want to pick up a different stylus for the Chromebook for heavy usage. The portability is excellent with the provided stylus but it is designed as a "add on" for people doing quick notes rather than the professional artist. My hand does cramp due to the barrel size of the provided stylus. While the ones I linked aren't the only choices you need to make sure you get the ones designed for the older Surface tablets and/or Wacom compatible technology. I think there are a few subreddits posted about this in the Samsung Chromebook subs...
Some choices are:

I love love love my iPad. For a majority of my day I can literally take an iPad case with one folder for looseleaf handouts and have more than I could ever carry in my high school and early college backpacks full of books, notebooks, and paper.

I use an app called Notability 80% of the time, with Google Drive the other 20%. I mostly hand write using a Notier stylus (I like drawing pictures, using different colors and arrows and stuff), but if I'm writing a paper or something I just take out a Bluetooth keyboard and write in Google Docs. Between Notability, Dropbox and Drive my files are all sitting on my phone, tablet and computer at all times so I always have access to everything, which has never been possible before. It's pretty much my favorite thing ever...

I looked at the Samsung Plus/Pro Chromebook but I heard mixed reviews on the keyboard and travel distance between the keys. My currently Asus Tf700 with the keyboard has great travel and I love it, so I'm making a safe assumption that this one is good too.

As for writing on the screen on my current Asus TF700, I've learned to deal with lack of palm rejection. i bought a Meko Stylus on Amazon and it's worked very well so far. The only difficult thing is writing fast as I can't write fast since my wrist is floating. Otherwise, it's not too bad at all.

The Pixelbook does seem to be a price hike. I looked in their subreddit and I haven't seen too many controversial reviews but some have some bugs here and there. If it goes on special Black Friday I may consider the lower tier one as I don't need more than 128GB of storage.

The number one thing you want to avoid is a rubber tipped stylus. They are garbage for actual touch sensitivity and smoothness of use.

Im not sure if having a Galaxy S8 will affect your choices significantly, but this is what i got for my Google Pixel at the start of this year: https://www.amazon.com/MEKO-Universal-Precision-Capacitive-Replacement/dp/B00N1BRWLA?crid=3PKRZ3TZT6ADT&keywords=meko+stylus&qid=1539275638&s=Cell+Phones+%26+Accessories&sprefix=meko+%2Cmobile%2C169&sr=1-1-spons&ref=sr_1_1_sspa&psc=1

its phenomenal. It glides effortlessly across my screen, has great accuracy, and comes with a carrying case (that holds both of them) in case you dont want to keep the pen alone in your pocket.

Just for example, I bought it to play Tsum Tsums, which is a rapid match 3+ game but with gravity, and the accuracy has been great for that so it should work just fine for PoGO.

u/xerschia · 2 pointsr/TsumTsum

Sure! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K4NVS86/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i8UqzbXFZQEEA

This is what I ended up getting and I shared one with my boyfriend who also loves it. Nice rating, not too expensive for a 3 pack + replacements, and I looked through their reviews to see a few who recommended it for tsum tsums :)

The other one I considered was this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N1BRWLA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_b-UqzbT4D9B9R It also had tsum tsum players in its reviews, but I've seen people on this Reddit with concerns that the disc could scratch your screen.

The stylus is definitely awkward to get used to at first and I'm going to look into a cheap rubber grip for the barrel but I don't think I'll ever go back to using my finger.

Seconding what nevermind said about contacting needledoctor. It's only slightly more to replace the whole cartridge with a modern option, like these, all 1/2" standard carts:

AT95E

Shure M97xE

AT92E

This will help you get it all lined up easily

And a small screwdriver set, needle-nose pliers, and you're good to go. The two screws on the top of the headshell let you remove the cartridge assembly and adjust its position when you put the new cart on.

u/hirschmj · 1 pointr/audiophile

Most good vintage stuff has been mentioned on some audio forum somewhere and discussed by a few folks who owned it in the past or present. If there's no mentions, it's probably worth being lost to history, but a lot of that old stuff has a following. People will say when stuff's crap. I'm using a $50 stylus on an old direct drive Denon turntable my mom gave me. Most turntables that show up on CL are ex-DJ setups but there's quality home stuff that pops up pretty often from kids clearing out their grandparent's and parent's stuff.

u/inkmathematics · 1 pointr/vinyl

Pfrancisco, I am new to the Shure M97xE and I purchased this cartridge after reading many reviews claiming this to be the best cartridge available for under a $100. Do you disagree? I will get a different cartridge next time around, but for right now, I'd say the m97xE hits the mark. Check out these reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Shure-M97xE-High-Performance-Magnetic-Cartridge/dp/B00006I5SB/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311007157&sr=8-1

u/Eagletron · 1 pointr/vinyl

I don't think you got hosed.

You can get a new cartridge, just google what fits. Popular and under $100 new cartridges are [Shure M97xE] (http://www.amazon.com/Shure-M97xE-High-Performance-Magnetic-Cartridge/dp/B00006I5SB/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409945556&sr=8-1&keywords=shure+mx97e) along with audio technica
You will need to adjust the anti-skating if you put a new cartridge on there, it's easy and the new cart will tell you what to set it too. The TL:dr on anti-skating is it keeps the needle in the very center of the groove.

All cartridges come with 4 wires unless they are a P-Mount or a super cheap cartridge, don't worry about that. If he's obsessed with Shure cartridges go for the Mx97e for about $100. The Shure V15 (numerous models) were good cartridges that were produced for decades (1960s until mid-2000s) so those might be what your father is looking for, but they are no longer made.

  1. Is this compatible with my turntable? Shure M97xE. Looks like a viable option for the price.

  2. I didn't mean stacking mat's.. I meant removing the silicon one, and putting on the Cork mat when playing the 33's. When I then want to play the 45's (Rarely), I put on the stock silicon mat (Swap them out).. So the sensor doesn't detect it as a 33.

  3. How do I determine what I need for my anti-skate. (I didn't see it on the chart, but I may have missed it or gotten confused)

  4. As for markings, all I can see is "Stanton 680EE", on the opposite side I see, "D680". That is all I see.
u/Dandw12786 · 1 pointr/vinyl

Well, that depends. Many people here swear by going used. I'd probably be among them, but after scouring my local Craigslist and pawn & thrift shops in my area, I decided it wasn't worth my time and the money I was dumping on gas everyday and just ordered a brand new one. I'd recommend at least checking out craigslist before jumping to a new table. There is a great guide in the sidebar called "The Cheap Setup Thread". Take a look, it has some GREAT info.

If you want to go new, there are quite a few options:
For bottom of the barrel in price and functionality, there is the AudioTechnica LP-60. This is pretty bare bones, and not a lot of people recommend it. It's about $90 on Amazon right now, but I've seen it anywhere from $70 to $120.

The pros are: it's cheap, automatic (hit play and the tone arm will lift up and set down on your record), and has a built in preamp, so you can just plug into any receiver or even a pair of computer speakers and go. There's a little bundle with the player, a small t-amp, and pair of halfway decent bookshelf speakers on amazon for $170 under the "Frequently bought together" part of the page.

Cons: A few. I had this for about a month and returned it to Amazon because I was unhappy. It's a halfway decent table, but has no adjustable counterweight and no upgradable parts. It is what it is. If you have a record in fine shape, it'll play it just fine. If your record is a bit scuffed, or maybe pressed a bit off center (as was the case with a couple I had), the sucker will skip and skip to no end. When this happens on a regular table, sometimes you can adjust the counterweight and fix the problem. That's not an option here, if you've got a bad record, you're stuck.

Next level up would be the LP-120 from AudioTechnica. This is what I've got. I upgraded the cartridge right away with the Shure M97xe since the stock cartridge requires a pretty heavy tracking force. This is the next model up from AudioTechnica, and it's miles better, but it's over three times the price if you want to upgrade the cartridge. However, you've got a lot more room to upgrade, adjustable counterweight and anti-skate, and still a built in preamp so you can plug into whatever receiver you have, or again, even just a pair of computer speakers. Still not a lot of love for this guy here, but pretty much everyone here, when pressed, will admit that it's a way better option than the LP60, and will admit that it's not a total waste of money.

The last one I've heard a lot about (but have no experience with) is the Pro-Ject Debut. From what I hear, this sucker is awesome right out of the box, no need to mess with cartridges or anything. I don't think this has a built in preamp (I could be wrong), so you'd need a receiver with a phono input or a separate phono preamp, which you can find on amazon for around $20.

In short, you get more out of a turntable with either more money (when buying new) or more effort (when buying used). Check out the sidebar guides and search /r/vinyl for previous discussions, as mine is by no means an exhaustive list, simply two tables I have experience with and one I've heard great things about.

Enjoy! And by all means, if your Crosley isn't driving you insane, stick with that for awhile and save up/look around and get what you want. Take it from me, if you settle for something less than you want, you'll regret it later.

u/solomon_pale · 1 pointr/vinyl

The cartridge is gonna be your main upgrade. The actual circuitry in the TT is pretty minimal; the sound quality is mainly controlled by the cartridge your use.

Shure, Audio-Technica, Grado, Denon, Ortofon and others offer a selection of Cartridges for a range of budgets. Amazon is selling the Shure M97xE for about 1/3 of list price right now, so you may want to check that out.

The other things that make a good tt a good tt are not really upgradeable (shock mounting, weight etc). Tonearms can be upgraded, but this is only really worth doing with very high-end equipment.

u/yellow_defender · 1 pointr/vinyl

My first setup was a Luxman PX-99 which was cheap (I paid $40 on CL) direct drive, and bulletproof. It was solid for what I needed it to do. As others have said here, be prepared to shell out a little $$ for a nice cartridge if you want to get serious. I recommend the Shure M97xE as a good place to start. If you have the dough, check out the Music Hall and Pro-Ject tables, and in my opinion, you'll be hard pressed to find a turntable more solid than the Technics 1200 series, but be prepared to shell out some coin. Stay away from the new bargain models, such as Crosleys, as you do get what you pay for and you can easily find something much better for the same price on Craigslist or ebay.

u/poomonkey405 · 1 pointr/vinyl

I just got this in on my new Ebay Turntable. I am new to the nice records world having just upgraded from an ION USB. Is this a decent cart that I should just replace the stylus on, or should I go for the whole shebang new cart and all?

u/TheSavs · 1 pointr/vinyl

I need help...(scroll down for TL:DR) My turntable needs to get louder and have more low end. My receiver is usually blaring when gaming or watching TV at "-10 db" however when I play my turn table at the same setting it is quieter. Not silent or really low mind you, but not quite as loud. When I turn up my receiver higher to compensate it will eventually go into protection mode and turn itself off (no bueno, I know).

Here is my setup:

Turntable: Technics SL-1300
Cartridge: Shure M97xE
Receiver: Denon AVR-391
Pre-Amp: Behringer PP400

Speakers:

Front Bookshelf Speakers: Panasonic SP-BS22-LR
Rear Speakers: Polk TL1
Center Speaker: Polk TL1 Center
Woofer: Pioneer SW-8MK


So, as you can see, for speakers I have a 5.1 speaker set up. I can run my turntable in Pro Logic, Multi-Channel Stereo, Stereo, Direct (whatever that means), Virtual, and DTS Neo. I am not really sure what would be best but I would like to use a setting that also uses my subwoofer as it is it's own powered speaker. Is that ok for the receiver to split it into Pro Logic or something else from the analog signal or not? As far as my connection I have the RCA cord coming from my pre-amp and connected to my "Dock" RCA input which is 1 of 3 RCA inputs on my receiver (Dock, Sat, DVD). Also my turntable is grounded to my preamp.

I am at a loss of what to do as it's never quite loud enough for my liking. I don't need it to be breaking windows but I would like to be able to rock out once and awhile.


TL:DR I guess what I'm asking is what setting should my Receiver be on and would a new pre-amp increase my volume?

u/ic2drop · 1 pointr/vinyl

Everything I have looked into store wise around San Antonio is pretty slim on the pickings. Austin probably has a better variety and selection, as it is more of a "hip and cool" town. Looking around online, vinyl seems to range from severely expensive to suspectfully cheap. If I can avoid buying online, I will.

The console is a wonderful idea, I think, but your correct that shipping costs + console costs would be better spent on the system itself. Honestly, it is more of the final piece that would be purchased after anything else. I would rather have a system that I am proud of that fit to a console, than have a system that fits a console before developing it's sound. The designer who makes it can also make it to spec, as they are hand crafted, and said he can go up to 36" in height for speakers.

In regards to that cartridge, my friend also recommended this as a replacement. He mentioned it would have better tone, lifespan, and be easier on the records themselves.

Collecting the proper amp, pre-amp, speakers, and turntable itself are certainly taking a front seat to all of this. It's just been so long since I've been in the audio game that it feels like I have learn it all over again.

Delayed Edit: My cousin has this Denon amp that he is willing to throw my direction. Everything I read about it though talks about the home theater aspects. Thoughts?

If the tip of the stylus broke off, you are correct in thinking that you can replace just the stylus without replacing the whole cartridge. Have you thought about upgrading a bit?

Most / a lot of people start out with one of these, a pretty great cartridge for all-around listening and easy to get installed and everything.

Also, how quickly can you write and how accurate is the lettering? I'm not looking to write as quickly as I can with pen and ink, but if I can find a stylus that comes closer than my otherwise decent AmazonBasics stylus, I'll probably be happy.

After about 2 hours of reading reviews on Amazon, this is what I bought:

u/CoveredInMud · 1 pointr/Nexus7

I use a Bamboo Stylus made by Wacom Tech. It costs but it is one of the best. http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Corp-Bamboo-Stylus-Tablets/dp/B004VM0SE6





u/mandog202 · 1 pointr/xoom

Wacom does make a bamboo stylus for capacitive displays (called Bamboo Stylus for iPad). I use one with my xoom, and it works great.

http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Stylus-for-iPad-CS100K/dp/B004VM0SE6

The tip is replaceable, if you can find some, I ordered 3 replacement tips directly from Wacom a while back, but I don't have the link to it right now.

u/44cents2freedom · 1 pointr/apple

>Back when I used it last, I don't think it had much handwriting support outside of diagrams (this is okay for me... I hate handwriting on the iPad).

Have you checked out the wacom bamboo pen?

u/MonkeyDog453 · 1 pointr/Android

I use this on my razr maxx: http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Stylus-for-iPad-CS100K/dp/B004VM0SE6

It works great, I mainly bought it to use on my transformer but works fine on the razr as well.

u/Histocorder · 1 pointr/tablets

@FelixR1911 - You need a powered usb hub. The micro usb port doesn't have enough power to do much more than a small thumb drive. I bought this http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-Micro-USB-OTG-Adapter/dp/B005QX7KYU/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_text_z to cover the fact that it doesn't have a usb port...and that small device gets bonus points for working on my nexus 7. I can plug this into my vivo tab smart then plug in my nexus 7 and put files on it like a normal android device.

I use a wacom pen http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Corp-Bamboo-Stylus-Tablets/dp/B004VM0SE6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1376960389&sr=1-1&keywords=bamboo+stylus+solo

u/ScumbagInc · 1 pointr/asustransformer

I had bought a Monteverde mainly because I needed a ball point pen as well as a stylus. Great pen; not so great stylus.
I just picked up a Wacom Bamboo and I must say its reputation is up held. The hands down best stylus on the market.
Also don't forget to install TouchScreen Tune if you are going to be using your TF201 with a stylus much.
If you plan to do a lot of note taking I would however suggest the keyboard.

u/oreotragus · 1 pointr/worldbuilding

This is the stylus I have (just a normal kind): http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Solo-Stylus-iPad-CS100K/dp/B004VM0SE6

Yes, I zoom in for the coastline as much as it will allow - 3000% - and I use a pencil tool anywhere from a radius of .25 to .5.

I've got a stylus. And it works. And it looks just like any other stylus.

u/DigitalChocobo · 1 pointr/Android

What is the stylus like for the Note? I know that there capacitive stylii (sp?) like this that can be used even on phones that aren't intended to have a stylus.

Does the Note stylus work differently, or do the buttons and the screen not detect contact in the same way?

u/TomMelee · 1 pointr/Nexus7

I bought these based on the reviews. I literally can't even get the nexus to pick up that I'm using it. Is there a trick to using a stylus?

They look just like all the other cheapy bubbly ended styli.

edit: I figured it out. They only work if I'm touching the very bottom ring, apparently conduction isn't happening from the pen body down. I pulled off the nub and the ring, twisted out all the extra rubber, and put it back together. It works. It's goddamn thin and hard to hold. Not recommended.

I bought this one recently and it's changed my life.

AmazonBasics Capacitive Stylus Pen for Touchscreen Devices Including Kindle Fire, Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008HJGPVO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_51ikDb7B4FWJZ

u/hunter_finn · 1 pointr/pokemongo

I'm not sure about the "special stylus pens for galaxy note phones as i never have had on.

What i meaned were those cheap capacitive stylus pens Like this one

However I can't say how stiff or soft that tip is, so it is up to you to test it out with your phone.

Even though, thought of trying to hit anything better than nice curve balls with those pens sounds crazy at first. With stiff enough pen that can do reliably repeatable movements, you soon will notice that you can hit more excellent curve balls than with your fingers.

u/switchbladecross · 1 pointr/nintendo

The DS screen [like a lot of POS systems] is resistive, so it works when top layer of the screen it deformed by pressure to touch the next layer of the screen. This means it can work with anything applying pressure, including a stick of plastic, which is all the DS stylus is.

The Switch screen [like most modern smart phones] is capacitive. So it works by an electrode layer detecting the resistance of what touches it. So you need something like a finger, or Capacitive Stylus. These could easily be packed in with a game. Hell, they'd fit in a standard game case.

u/r_sarvas · 1 pointr/androidtablets

I had a Dragon Touch X10 for about a year until it died (honestly, it never worked right from day one). From what I remember, it didn't have any modern stylus technology, so you'd be limited to drawing with a cheap, fat, non-pressure sensitive capacitive stylus like this...

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Capacitive-Stylus-Touchscreen-Devices/dp/B008HJGPVO

Buying a Bluetooth drawing stylus wouldn't really work because while it would be able to report pressure sensitivity via bluetooth, your device would lack the position circuitry needed by a Wacom (and S-Pen), Microsoft N-Trig pen, or Apple Pencil compatible stylus.

u/zakabog · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

> The touchscreen is working, except for writing with your finger.

What specifically is happening? Is the cursor jumping all over the place? Can you drag windows around on the touchscreen? If that works, then there's nothing wrong with the screen and it might simply be whatever software it is that you're "signing" in. Try something like MS Paint and see if you can draw in that, if you can write your initials in that software then your touchscreen is working normally, if you're having an issue writing then it might be something with your finger, try using a stylus to write with and see if that works.

u/IllTryToReadComments · 1 pointr/SuggestALaptop

> capacitive stylus

Oh sorry I didn't make it clear, I wanted the pen support to also be pressure sensitive. I did research on this and found that capacitive stylus were just basic stylus.

u/jhutchi2 · 1 pointr/MarioMaker

This might work. Amazon Basics stuff is usually solid and it's 8 bucks so if it turns out to not be great then it's a pretty small investment.

u/Fatwall · 1 pointr/DragaliaLost

Shortly before this game came out, I purchased a stylus from Amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008HJGPVO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). I didn't end up using it until I'd started playing DL, and found my finger was getting tired from all the tapping. The stylus works great on my Pixel, and I couldn't recommend it enough for this, as well as other games. It also keeps my finger from obscuring the screen as much, which in DL can make me not see a danger zone.


I've been told by other people that I don't look like I'm playing a game when I'm using it. People have just assumed I'm doing something important or work-related on my phone, so I guess that's an added perk I hadn't expected.


I have tested the stylus on an iPhone and a Samsung Galaxy and found those screens to be less responsive, at least when typing using it. If you are interested in a stylus, I'd make sure to do some research to make sure the one you're considering is compatible with your phone.

u/Theodore_Rex · 1 pointr/Surface
u/da1hobo · 1 pointr/Surface

This pen apparently works with the SP3 according to one reviewer. It also requires a AAAA battery. Also if you are worried about the battery dying they are like $1 each.

u/blastcat4 · 1 pointr/Surface

If the SP3 pen is too soft for you, you can get this:

http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B008LEKI0O/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=27O8Z602HE9FN&coliid=ILGP8JZP8Z8MD

It will work with your SP3 and has a hard pen tip that will not wear out nearly as fast as the SP3's pen. Its super cheap price makes it a great back-up pen, but it doesn't have the button on top to activate OneNote.

u/bipolarsandwich · 1 pointr/Surface

I'm not positive exactly what you mean, but I've been using this pen for a week or so, and it works basically the same way the original pen does (the only thing different is that it doesn't have the button on the back that launches OneNote). There wasn't any setup required for me - i.e. I literally popped in the battery and began drawing and writing straightaway.

Main differences:

  1. The tip is a bit harder, which I think is good, as my SP3 stylus's nib began to wear down after a month of use.
  2. The stylus itself is shorter and doesn't have that 'clip' part.
  3. Again, no OneNote button.

    Hope that helps!
u/frbap · 1 pointr/Surface

It's the pen, and the pressure curve is apparently this: http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/threads/time-for-an-n-trig-software-update-make-yourself-heard.63880/#post-413650

u/jrh3k5 · 1 pointr/Nexus7
u/jackruby83 · 1 pointr/Nexus10

I recently did a continuing education program (~200 pages) with about 120 assessment questions. Using ezPDF as the reader, and an amPen stylus (http://www.amazon.com/cell-phones-accessories/dp/B008MOHLVC), I was able to highlight with reasonable accuracy and mark up the PDF with handdrawn circles/arrows, although I would suggest a more fine tip stylus for good note taking since the width of a standard stylus isn't really too much better than a carefully maneuvered finger. I haven't tried it, but the Adonit Jot Pro has some good reviews (http://www.amazon.com/Adonit-Stylus-iPhone-Kindle-Tablets/dp/B00931K1QK/ref=pd_cp_pc_0), and came recommended by folks on this subreddit, but it was a bit pricy. For note taking during class, I don't know how happy you'd be with note taking from any tablet though, IMHO.

u/Kryoskadi · 1 pointr/PuzzleAndDragons

This is the PAD Su-pen but as you can see it's pretty pricey.

u/Anileda · 1 pointr/femalefashionadvice

I use this case for my iPhone 6, and I clip this stylus to the outside of it. It looks like a little notebook (as in paper) and I love it.

No tablets or anything else yet, but I like things to be both cute and functional. I would likely never buy the brick "lifeproof" cases because to me they're clunky.

For what it's worth, Tory Burch's "prettifying" of the FitBit has made me consider actually buying one of the things!

u/xtremedeo · 1 pointr/tablets

Considering that you would be doing educational subjects, would recommend you get a windows tablet or windows compatible. Yea the Tab s2 is a much better choice than the a series. Battery life, gb ram which can run more apps, better processor, can upgrade to the latest os which marshmallow 6.0.[Youtube review video of 9.7] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amO5rzdaZjo) Best you get the [samsung galaxy tab s2 9.7 version] (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-SM-T810NZDEXAR-32GB-Gold/dp/B010OTG0DC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1482195391&sr=1-12&keywords=tablet&refinements=p_36:30000-35000&linkCode=ll1&tag=qt088-20&linkId=4b97064859d4343cbbb884437c2c7e49) because the 9.7 has a wider screen which would be a better choice since you would be taking notes and also has sufficient battery life to faciliate it. I would recommend you get the [am pen stylus] (https://www.amazon.com/Stylus-amPen-Hybrid-Interchangeable-Feature/dp/B008MOHLVC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1482196497&sr=1-3&keywords=tab+s2+stylus&linkCode=ll1&tag=qt088-20&linkId=90b9c393d664e1bc05efc60ab673b4a2) for it.

I finally bought one of these last week: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MOHLVC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's much smoother and the pen doesn't need to be nearly vertical in order to work like the regular rubber tip ones. I would definitely suggest a knit/microfiber one, just like everyone else seems to be recommending.

u/hitcho12 · 1 pointr/ipad

I use this.

I have a precision stylus that was more expensive than this one, but I found that it scratches the screen. I love the smoothness of the one I linked you, and for the price, you just can't beat it.,

You can keep searching for hard tip stylus' but you are probably not going to find one, I'd recommend looking for a compatible stylus with the smallest tip.

u/Buckwheat469 · 1 pointr/computers

Any capacitive touch pen should work just fine. Go for quality and compatibility, not because it says "Lenovo". Also, that Best Buy employee is most likely mentally handicapped.

As background, I own a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro and Yoga 900, and I wouldn't buy a Lenovo pen unless the reviews gave it five stars and it made my wife jealous.

Edit: Aside from the joke answer, here's a person asking the same question and some answers. Here's a pen that someone in the thread says is "amazing" with the Yoga.

u/nzt0002 · 1 pointr/ipad

I actually had no idea about the kickstarter thing, haha. I think some of their more expensive ones may have app integration, but mine is just the stylus. Here it is on Amazon.

I have heard it will cause tiny little scratches on the screen if something gets caught between the disk and your screen (like dirt or something). I don't really have that problem since I got a screen protector. If you were to get one I'd definitely suggest getting a screen protector. Ever since I got it the stylus writes a lot smoother (sometimes it'd skip during writing).

Definitely look around though. I went through the same thing you did a few months ago, and the Adonit Jot Pro just works for me. Here is a good thread from a week ago about styli in case you want other suggestions.

Hope this helped!

u/zhonathanreiss · 1 pointr/ipad

I go to a school that implemented a 1:1 iPad program, and while many of us started out using the cheap rubber tipped styluses, I, and many others, have found that the Adonit Jot Pro is the best one to go with. I've had to get on my hands and knees to search for the tip twice, but I think it's worth it. It's much more accurate since you can see through the clear disk.

u/starfighter23 · 1 pointr/ECE

I got an iPad for this purpose because I felt that as tablets go, apple are the best at it, and anything i needed the freedom of android to do I could use my nexus 5.

I found that it's usefulness as a notetaking device really depends on the way the notes are distributed. If you're given copies of the lecture notes ahead of time, you can upload them to google drive or dropbox and use a good pdf annotater to scribble small diagrams or make text notes on them as you go through the lecture.

This is definitely better than paper copies, since you can zoom into small images and annotate in high, vectorised detail. I bought iAnnotate PDF for about £7, and it was definitely worth it - it syncs your annotations automatically, so as soon as you're finished it'll be uploaded to the cloud and you have copies of your annotated notes online. You can add things like bookmarks and links to quickly jump through the document too, which is nice.

However, if you're not given copies ahead of time, it's pretty useless as a replacement for pen and paper. I didn't buy an expensive stylus, I just bought a cheap rubber/foam thing which I didn't end up using much at all. I had a friend who had a similar idea to me and spent about £30 on this. It's pretty good and gives you the precision of a ballpoint, but scratches the screen if you don't use a screen protector. He gave up taking handwritten notes with it anyway - it's really difficult to do effectively, and you're probably better just using paper.

So the upshot was in my first semester of 4th year everything was distributed in advance - all I took into uni with me was my ipad, and it was great. I had lovely digitally annotated notes available from any PC. In second semester nothing was distributed digitally and I had an irritating mixture of badly organised notes on the ipad and scribbles on a stack of paper in my bag. If the iPad wasn't such a good way to reddit from bed I'd probably be disappointed in spending so much money on it, but as it is I use it a huge amount to procrastinate so it was a good excuse to buy one.

u/Capt-Psykes · 1 pointr/Android

u/grassgreen123 · 1 pointr/Surface
u/FNFollies · 1 pointr/Android

I also go between Bamboo Paper for short notes and One Note which has a decent ability to zoom out and pan down so you never have to "add a page" you can just create really long pages. My writing improved immensely once I purchased an Adonit Jot Pro non-affiliate amazon link.

u/Alpha-Leader · 1 pointr/Surface

I have heard mixed things about this one http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Microsoft-Surface-tablets-technology/dp/B00BVUQZZ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394559574&sr=8-1&keywords=wacom+feel

Supposed to be much better, but it lacks the eraser, and I dont think they can add more buttons on this variant of the wacom tech.

u/MMEnter · 1 pointr/Surface

For the Freedom Case: www.freedomcase.com/watch and tonce you have it a lot of trying out. I got myself a Wacom Stylus and stretched the loop on the Case to with the Cap in so I can now easily remove the Pen and put it back on without worrying much about loosing it, other then that I can't give more tips to the Freedom case it always deepens on how you use your Surface.

Microsoft Office what do you want to know? What is your use case? If you are short on money get a outlook.com account and you can use the awesome web Apps that get you quiet far and are great for teamwork.

OneNote Desktop - for Free (legal) for Desktop Use for Heavy Pro users (IMO)+ OneNote Windows Store App for just taking basic notes and touch/ Stylus use. Let me know what your use case is and I may can tell you more about it. I recommend getting the App for your Phone as well (WP user by any chance?) its out for WP, iOS and Androide.
/r/OneNote - I just leave this here

Though untested, this one seems to be compatible with the Surface Pro and Pro 2:
http://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/stylus/bamboo-smart

Generally, most pens that work with Galaxy devices with stylus work with Surface Pro 1 and 2 since both uses similar Wacom's technology. However, I wouldn't always count on it. Note that Bamboo Feel styluses do not come with an eraser.

If you aren't sure, there's always the original Surface Pen that works well.

So I found your review on Amazon. So this pen works with the SP2, right? So far I only have the Bamboo Feel Pen and the Fujitsu Pen. I prefer the Wacom pen for precision and accuracy, but it lacks a second button and an eraser. Have you had a Wacom Bamboo Feel pen before? If so how does it feel compared to the Wacom UP-911E-02A?

P.S.: Thanks for sharing btw. Gonna get this for my SP2 when I can.

u/fringerella · 1 pointr/redditgetsdrawn

Thanks so much! It was a lovely photo to paint.

I use an app called procreate which is a great painting app and a stylus called the Musee Notier I did my first painting with my finger and it is very difficult. This stylus is nice because it has a more precise tip that moves smoothly across the glass and that allows you to hold the pen more naturally. There is no pressure-sensitivity, however, so that is a bit of a learning curve, but it's a good price. I recommend it.

u/vigneshrk · 1 pointr/iPadPro

my first ipad was the 3 and i still have it. with an app called goodnotes, i used the stylus with the plastic tip disc and annotated on pdfs/created handwritten notes/diagrams regularly to study. i am soon going to switch to ipad pro and pencil, but this has worked really well for me and my digital handwriting was the same as analog lol. i have switched from the ipad 3 to the mini 2 now and use the same stylus https://smile.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00CA66YGQ/ref=sr_1_2_olp?s=pc&srs=7082342011&ie=UTF8&qid=1495817489&sr=1-2&condition=used i even found it used for less.

but im going to switch to the pencil/pro soon since its been out for a while and people are saying its really good. when i tried it in the apple store with notability (i think that comes on those demo ipads)? it left a few tiny stray dots from palm rejection i think...with my current combo (mini2/disc stylus/goodnotes) there is a palm-rejection pad you can resize in the app so no stray dots.

They're a bit more expensive, but I'm paranoid about using a mesh tip on my phone screen and I've seen horror pictures of scratched-up screens. I've also accidentally sent mine through the washer/dryer a few times and it's always worked fine after, for whatever that's worth (the fabric tip isn't ruined by water, basically).

u/Tbrooks · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

That's probably a good guess, if not 30.
A decent stylus on Amazon is around 10 bucks. So a 10 dollar Nintendo premium is to be expected as well as the hope it is actually a very good stylus. That is also assuming it has replaceable tips and comes with 1 or 2.

There are also expensive ones too.

My personal favorite has been Su-Pen Mini. Great weight and in-hand feel, also the tips (replaceable) are amazing. It's also frequently seen being used by popular JP PAD players.

Yeah, the DS uses other technology for touch screens. But definitely try the microfiber ones, my mind was blown once I started using them, they glide through the screen and are really responsive.

These are the ones I used before getting the bamboo stylus.

u/montrayjak · 1 pointr/nintendo

Maybe this one?

I'd probably avoid playing Elite Beat Agents or anything though...

u/arrowrand · 1 pointr/theNvidiaShield

The K1 doesn't have an active digitizer, meaning that you can't use things like pressure sensitive styli as found on the Note.

The Shield stylus is the best non-active stylus that I've ever used. The chiseled tip gives that faux pressure sensitive effect and the pointing tip is very precise.

That said, if you can't get it you can't get it.

The next best thing for me has been a stylus like this:

MEKO (2 in 1 Precision Series) Disc Stylus/Styli (2 Pcs) Bundle with 4 Replaceable Disc Tips, 2 Replaceable Fiber Tips (Black/Black)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N1BRWLA/

It takes a minute to get used to that little round disc on the tip, but once you do the stylus works really well. No pressure sensitivity, but I've used them with my phone, other tablets, my Chromebook and my Windows 10 laptop and they work great. And the tip isn't fragile like I assumed it would be.

There are others that are the exact same style, I bought this one because $15 for 2 was hard to pass up.

u/Sib3rian · 1 pointr/chromeos

Kinda hard to really draw without a pressure-sensitive stylus and palm rejection, and the device has to be built for that (an extra layer on the display, I think), so your only option is an ordinary stylus. In that case, either get a really cheap one (I use AmazonBasics' $6 stylus for my phone. Nothing fancy, does the job) or dish out a little more ($15-$25) for an allegedly better experience (but I've never tried, so take my words with a grain of salt, here).

That said, do you never experience a limit? I've asked a friend, and he says his Note 7 also gets limited to a certain amount of layers in Sketchbook, an amount that scales with resolution.

Oh, and I'm retarded, so, by "OG", do you mean the original or the new one?

u/pyXelr · 1 pointr/MatebookXPro

I ended up with a similar switch, but from Surface Pro 4 to Matebook X Pro. The main reasons for this decision were low battery life and slow performance when I wanted to practice some Hadoop skills.

I didn't want to sacrifice the Surface Pen, so I even got a MEKO Universal Stylus, which works well enough if I am in need to write down some mathematical equations.

u/b33rmeister · 1 pointr/PuzzleAndDragons

I am fairly new to stylus play, so I'm not the very best critic. I also really like the visibility. Watching some streams I see people ask what stylus to use often enough, and su-pen and meko get recommended a lot. I think su-pen a bit more maybe.

I bought the meko because I thought it was a good deal and I really like it, just can't compare it to the su-pen as I haven't tried one.

This is what I recently purchased: http://www.amazon.com/Precision-Stylus-Styli-Bundle-Replaceable/dp/B00N1BRWLA

u/Subie_Babie · 1 pointr/MarioMaker

This is the one i got, best of both world here, even though i do agree with you on the squishy one, moves along the screen much nicer than the plastic disc.

u/Lefty_Leftfield · 1 pointr/PuzzleAndDragons

I'm not affiliated or anything and this is purely anecdotal but I use this one. It's got a good bit of weight to it and you can see if you prefer mesh or disc.

I greatly prefer disc. I wore out 3 mesh ones within a few weeks before I tried disc and so far I've only broken 1 of those discs so I have 3 spare still.

I play pad a LOT. I'm getting close to 1 year of in game time and I'm currently rank 594. That's approaching shitbucket status of playing way too much to get that in that time so my poor stylus and disc has taken a damn beating but it's still going strong. I ended up moving the rubber grip up to the mesh end too so it's comfier to hold while using the disc side.

The only noticable wear is the black colour where I hold it the most is like bleached looking where the colour's faded from where I held it before I moved the rubber grip there. The coating on the pen clip thing's a bit pitted from it being against my sweaty betty hand so long too. It doesn't bother me though.

Maybe I've just gotten lucky with the discs I have but yeah, only broken 1 disc so far with very heavy useage in that time with that brand.

u/TheHighestFever · 1 pointr/TsumTsum

I have a set of these:

https://www.amazon.com/MEKO-Precision-Stylus-Bundle-Replaceable/dp/B00N1BRWLA/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_tr_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=J29Y715EPEWFGTF5E6EE

The mesh end works great, but the disk end is even better. The point is tiny and the disk is clear so you can see exactly where you're going. The two phones that I play with (LG Stylo 2 and LG G4) both react very well with it and my wife uses the same type with her S7 Edge.

u/Vinceisg0d · 1 pointr/DragaliaLost

Mine do too, I bruise really easy. What I did was grab some of these stylus from Amazon. They're really great and the most reliable stylus I've used. Get purple because purple is the best.

u/caprimulgusAU · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

I haven’t actually ordered one yet myself, but that looks pretty similar to the one I was recommended (Meko 2-in-1 universal stylus).

https://www.amazon.com.au/MEKO-Universal-Precision-Capacitive-Replacement/dp/B00N1BRWLA

The one you linked is 4-in-1, so even better! :)

u/PatrioTech · 1 pointr/NoStupidQuestions

Best one I've used (though it's been a while since I've looked) are those ones with the clear circle tip. Like this one

u/RainbowGoddamnDash · 1 pointr/Showerthoughts

Hey man

Figured you'll see this instead of the edit down below.

This is the stylus's I use.. The fine point end, is really useful but gets annoying around the s7 edges.

u/setzke · 1 pointr/razerphone

I have and love my razer phone. If I didn't have it already however, I would think about the ROG. That's the one with all the peripherals, right? It seems they're setting up for a future with this.

Razer was good to start the trend of higher refresh rates but, as you can find in this subreddit with slow software updates, many users feel abandoned. As if these phones were a gimmick to get ahead in sales and now that that's done, move on to the next sale gimmick. Like when I ordered a new screen protector from Razer (and a controller for my phone), it came with caffeinated water flavor packets that apparently they make now, for gaming.

Anyway, I've been researching here the past little bit. Phones that can use real styluses have to be built for that. Most Android phones aren't and you need a large surface area so the phone registers it as a finger. So those styluses with the big rounded tip are what you need, or the ones with a smaller tip surrounded by a clear disk.

Example pen:

u/jrjurman · 1 pointr/GalaxyFold

I just purchased these Disc Stylus Touch Pens, and they seem fairly as precise, without requiring a charge or feeling like they might do damage to the screen.The disc looks a little silly, but it's not obtrusive.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N1BRWLA

u/LlaughingLlama · 1 pointr/galaxys10

The stylus that comes with the Galaxy Notes only work with the Notes, as they use Wacom technology and a sensor layer built into the Note screens. Samsung calls them "S-Pens" and these do NOT work on the S10.

The generic capacitive styluses work great with the S10. I bought these (they come in a 2-pack for under $15) and they work well.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N1BRWLA/

u/gibletzor · 1 pointr/Galaxy_S8

I've used these with my S7E, Galaxy Tab A, and with my S8+. Smoothest styluses (styli?) I've ever used!

u/fishywang · 1 pointr/chromeos

I have the MEKO Disc Styli and they worked great. But they are on the bigger side.

u/Rossoneri · 1 pointr/chromeos

That's an active stylus. So you're just wasting money and it may not work because it doesn't need a large surface area to trigger the touch screen since it's active.

Something like this is what you want:

u/themightytiny · 1 pointr/iphone

You can't use the Apple Pencil on an iPhone. It only works on the iPad Pro.

Anyway, I've been using these to draw and they're very nice for the price.

Ooh that's really affordable to try out! I heard this one is good, but not willing to take the plunge yet either. https://www.amazon.ca/Adonit-Android-Samsung-Windows-Tablets/dp/B00R33ZYCG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469144989&sr=8-1&keywords=adonit+jot+pro I wish Android devices had fancy styli like the other brands.

u/Streetluxury_amg · 1 pointr/Hewlett_Packard

for anyone looking for a good capacitive stylus for the 13-w0xx variant, I will recommend the adonit jot pro or the adonit jot mini or any other disc type stylus I believe would work. I have been looking for a good stylus and this is what worked best for me (I personally bought the silver adonit jot pro mini to match the laptop) . After all the research I have done (someone please correct me if I am wrong because if so I will buy one immediately), there are no compatible active stylus for this model.

I really like the Adonit ones.

u/chaukrau · 1 pointr/samsung
u/drkztan · 1 pointr/splatoon

As much as the extra price stings, i'd recommend the adonit jot pro over the MEKO ones, because it's not that much more expensive either. I've got both, the MEKO and the jot pro, and the jot pro is much better. The MEKO uses a plastic shaft that gives you a mushy feeling when writing, the adonit uses a metallic shaft directly connected to the disc. Both have replaceable tips. I use my jot pro to take notes in classes on my iPad mini and it's very comfortable and precise. Plus, it feels really good in the hand, it has a nice weight to it.

Hey,

How about the Lenovo Yoga 720? It is under your budget and checks off a lot of your specifications. It has:

  • i7-7700HQ 4-core processor

  • 16 GB of RAM

  • 512 GB SSD storage

  • 4K touchscreen 15.6" display

  • 2-in-1 feature

  • GTX 1050 2 GB graphics card

  • Weight of 4.4lbs and battery life up to 8 hours

    This laptop runs Windows 10 Home. It is decently light and has pen support, but you have to buy the pen on the side. Here is a link to a pen that works on this device. Drawing on the screen shouldn't be an issue, as well as multitasking.
u/garychencool · 1 pointr/thinkpad

I tried the pen in Photoshop and Krita. I checked to have the pen pressure enabled (it's enabled by default anyways).

Running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit (and not 10 for the sake of not having driver issues, I already tried 10 and installing the drivers was a pain in the ass despite Windows Update magically installing most of them. Had to search on Google for the rest and found out that there's various issues on Windows 8+ that will likely never get fixed on such an old laptop by Microsoft or Lenovo).

Knowing that there's a small pressure sensor in the pen is good to know. Now I just have to find on eBay or where ever for it. Although I think any of them would likely work the same.

There's also this one I could get off Amazon (Canada) https://www.amazon.ca/Lenovo-Active-Capacitive-Pen-GX80K32882/dp/B01AZC3HF2/ref=s9_simh_gw_g147_i1_r?pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_s=&pf_rd_r=W5DXAJ0W20Z86HANH7QF&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=b420c7ed-0dc7-4f64-beca-b1a9f89477f6&pf_rd_i=desktop but I don't know if it would fit in the x201t's pen holder.

Hey I just got my Flex 14 2-in-1 this week and I am currently using Lenovo's Active Pen (https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Capacity-Touchscreen-Laptops-GX80K32882/dp/B01AZC3HF2/ref=sr_1_4?crid=DK5R56FT5R58&keywords=lenovo+active+pen&qid=1573954960&sprefix=lenovo+acti%2Caps%2C227&sr=8-4).

There is another pen you can purchase that is a bit more but better: https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/accessories-and-monitors/top-tech/TAB-ACC-BO-Active-Pen2-NA-EMEA%2CANZ%2CAP/p/GX80N07825

I have a Flex 5, hardware wise for accessories they are almost identical from what I have been reading.

​

I think the "upgraded" model also works on the Flex 6, but I don't do any type of graphic design, I can get by with the regular model personally, I mostly use it for note taking and drawing simple things.

​

Keyboards/screen protectors I'm curious about too, I have not found any decent ones yet.

u/arryue · 1 pointr/chromeos

There are some EMR styluses that Wacom makes (after all Samsung used their EMR pannel in the v2 plus) . The ones I've seen recommended are the S-pens for the Tab S4 or the Tab S3.

​

Also these posts are from a while ago, but talk more about compatibility with the plus v1. I can confirm that the plus v2 works with the v1 stylus so you should be good!

Wow, they're finally adding Android snap? This makes me almost want to switch channels over to beta, but I'm sure it'll come to my CB soon. That functionality was really one of my biggest complaints and that'll allow me to park the monitor at school most of the time once it goes stable for me. If Chrome ever gets full MS office it'll easily be king of the options for students imo, but considering we got the android app unlocked <1 year ago I won't hold my breath.

I did look at that pencil and was really excited about it, but I shied away after a couple of the reviews mentioned it breaking or falling apart on them. I ended up getting the S pen for the Galaxy Book S, which is also a really great option in case you ever want an alternative too.

The ones with the fat tips seem more similar to using one's finger, but I got one similar to this which is nice because with a smaller tip it's easier to be precise. I've been enjoying using it with SSBU's stage builder.

​

I will admit to stupidly not understanding how it worked when I got it--I thought the clear disc on the end was a cap of sorts to be removed and I ended up ruining the tip. Luckily most of them come with extras.

u/EnigmaticNutjob · 0 pointsr/PuzzleAndDragons

I've been using this for a while. It has replacable tips so you don't have to buy a new stylus if your tip wears out. Also, since the tip is coated in some conductive fiber, it glides smoothly on your device.

That's not true at all? You can get specialized capactive styluses for drawing which have much thinner tips like this.
