Samsung SPen Nib Replacement | Plastic vs Metal Tips for Writing & Drawing on Android Tablet

[@acejica]

Have you been using the metal tip for a while now? Is the spen still fine? Because there was a review that said it messed up the inside of the spen because it was too hard. I kinda want a second opinion to this because maybe it was just their problem and the way they use their spen

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

Samsung can't guarantee third party nibs for thr spen. So there may be some risks using it. For mines personally, my pen is still working fine. Of course you don't want to push the nib in too far and you also don't want to apply heavy pressure with the metal tip. If you're worried, you can always use the metal tip in a different pen. There are alot of EMR stylus options that will work on the Samsung tablet. The staedler pencil is a great option and you can use the metal tip in there as well. The pencil itself is affordable and could be a nice backup if you're worried about damaging the spen. check out the links in my description!

Hi, Your videos is good, thumbs up for the effort. I have S6 lite, the original spen soft tip and plastic tips (which i purchased separately) were worn out very quickly due to paperlike screen protector. So looking for a more durbale tip now. But i fear now that the metal tip ruin the screen protector. And if i use metal tip without screen protector, will it damage the screen? Need your advice

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

Hi! Thanks for watching! The metal tip will probably wear down the paperlike screen protector over time. I personally use a paperlike screen protector. I wouldn't feel comfortable using it on the screen directly. It also depends on how much pressure you use. You don't want to press very hard (dig into the screen) just normal writing pressure. Depends on your comfort level.

[@rickrollrizal]

I wish samsung has an spen that's like the apple pencil. a larger nib that's plastic

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

I've never used an apple pencil so I don't know how it feels. I do wish the spen was wider. I think the spen pro might be bigger.

[@mixhaelcastro]

fortunately larger nib is now available for S Pen Creator edition ❤

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

is the S Pen creator edition the name of the pen? and do you know how it differs from the Spen Pro?

[@rickrollrizal]

[@gabrielbumanglag3303]

I got the 5 pcs plastic tips for $2-3 at our e-commerce site. The metal ones at $3.50 for 2 pcs. I still find the plastic tips more consistent in writing and drawing feel. Probably because I use a glass screen protector and not a paper-like feel screen protector.

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

I know they sell them on aliexpress for really cheap if you want to wait 3 weeks for shipping

[@couchchester]

thank you for the video!! how much more durable is the metal tip compared to a normal rubber tip? i heard rubber tips goes through extrememly quick on matte screen protectors

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

yes, the metal tip is wayyy more durable and is a no wear solution. Just keep in mind that the matte screen protector may have to be replaced every so often instead. You do have to be mindful not to press really hard. You don't want to dig into your screen with the metal tip. You can just let it glide across the screen.

I have one question please I have s6 lite can i use mettle nibs or not ? Bechare im using paper like screen protector and replaceable plastic nibs but the nibs are getting disrouied after one drawing 😢 Im confused which nib should i use now

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

I have samsung s7 plus and used the spen that came with the tablet. If your s6 lite uses the same spen as mine, then the metal tips that I put in the description should work. If you have a different pen then you need to use tips that work in your pen. I have also used a Stadler emr pen and used the metal tips there and they work as well.

[@vernabailey3671]

Which drawing app did you use? I like the symmetry.

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

Personally, I used sketchbook. Thats just the first one I learned but I've heard there are others that are pretty good

[@hyvaahyvaa9578]

can i ask what app you are using? also, does the eraser (holding the button of the s pen) still work with the metal tip?

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

Hi! Thanks for watching! At which time point are you asking about the app? I used a couple of different apps in here to compare the tip. And Yes, the button still works with the tip and doesn't affect the function at all.

[@hyvaahyvaa9578]

@@littlepeaceofhappiness all the apps😅 i forgot to put an s, sorry and thank you for that. i am quite scared to change nibs because i love using the side button for erasing and thought it would be affected. i have another question (sorry😅) would you suggest the metal or plastic nib for a tempered glass screen protector

[@yutanakamoto6277]

hey your video was really useful! i have a quick question, have you noticed any pressure sensitivity loss with this metal nib on the pen? i saw this on another review but it wasn't for the s pen so it might not lower the sensitivity of the samsung stylus.

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

I personally have not seen any issues with sensitivity. my tablet is also inside of a case eith a built in screen and I haven't noticed an issue myself.

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

Thanks for watching!! please give this video a thumbs up so it can help others too!

[@yutanakamoto6277]

@@littlepeaceofhappiness i see, and the stylus in itself doesn't have any damages and everything works well? btw thanks for replying this quick hehe.

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

I haven't seen any issues or damage to my pen. just don't push it in hard

[@n0fx_tv]

which one did you think was better? Original / Plastic / Aluminium?

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

I think it depends on what you're going for. The aluminum is long lasting but a little noisy when it runs against the paperlike screen. The original feels nice because it glides against the glass, the only issue is that it won't last long. I did not like the plastic tip at all. it wore down way too fast. Maybe there's a different brand or a better quality hard plastic but the one I tried, I don't recommend.

[@adembaba3974]

How are the tablet screen and pen tip after 1 year? And how do you feel when writing and drawing compared to regular nibs?

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

I still have the same metal tip and screen on. But I also don't use it on a daily basis. By the look of the metal tip, I can't see it wearing down. The metal tip on the matte screen is more textured when writing or drawing on so its not slippery like using the regular nib on the glass screen protector. I feel I have more control. I think it would still feel grippy using the regular nib on the matte screen as well. It just wouldn't last as long.

[@adembaba3974]

Thank you. Will it damage the home screen?

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

it hasn't damaged mine with a screen protector on. I use the matte screen protector

[@linqsounds]

So do you reckon the rubber tips are the optimal choice for a glass screen prot? And either plastic or metal tips for a paperlike? I dont know anything about tablets or pens so im just trying to do some research before purchase. I intend to use a samsung tablet for taking notes and maybe a bit of drawing/painting :) I assume the softer of the materials in contact will wear down first if there's friction on the surface, so i guess you get to pick what you feel like replacing more often? replacing plastic tips if paperlike or replacing paperlike if metal tip? I'd be happy to hear suggestions on good pentip/screenprot combos :)

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! I think it really depends on how you want it to feel in your hand. If you're painting, then I think the spen that comes eith thr tablet and the rubber tip would be nice because it would glide smoothly with a little bit of friction (very little). I think you can still use a metal tip on the glass screen protector if you don't want the tip to wear as quickly but I wouldn't use the metal tip directly on the screen surface without some type of protector. even with the paperlike screen protector, the metal tip still slips against the screen very smoothly. For me, I wouldn't go with thr plastic tip at all unless you find a harder plastic that wouldn't wear as quickly. Thr plastic tip I used in this video wore within the first hour and it was really wasteful. Unless you want to try the wacom one pen that has a harder plastic nib and you can use that on the paperlike or glass protector. It wasn't my personal favorite because I felt like it was too slippery across the screen and the tip was too large.

[@linqsounds]

For study purpose which tab is good? Samsung s pen is better for taking notes and reading pdfs and annotations??

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

I personally am an android user. the Samsung s pen is for writing. when you ask about reading pdfs are you asking about apps? samsung users seem to like samsung notes for reading and annotating because if you have a samsung laptop, you can sync it there. But if you prefer OneNote for notes, then maybe an Microsoft surface or apple would be better because Onenote app for Android is not very good.

@@littlepeaceofhappiness For S Pen which tip you prefer titanium(metal) or plastic?

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

the metal is better than plastic because it will last longer. I like the metal tip and the original rubber tip that came with the spen. it also depends on the screen protector you use. the rubber tip is smoother on a glass protector. While the metal tip feels better on a matte/paperlike screen

[@sakitex1057]

Hi, I already have for a long time the tempered glass mica on my Samsung s6 lite, but I would like to put the matte paper mica over my current mica, as I would like to try that texture and incidentally the titanium tips that for me are a novelty, do you think I can use double mica (the tempered glass + matte paper)?

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

I'm honestly not sure how it will perform of you double up on screen protectors. Is there a reason why you want to stack two screen protectors directly on top of each other? In another video I actually do something similar because I bought a case that came with its own screen cover so I placed the matte screen on the front of my hard case and I left my glass screen protector on the actual tablet itself since the tablet was inside the case...I hope that makes sense. You should watch my other video on when I installed the matte protector on my case.

the one I use in the video is titanium. Sorry I misspoke when I said stainless steel. And in the video I show a close up that it is a round tip. It hasn't not scratches my tablet but I use a matte paperlike screen protector. I wouldn't recommended using it directly on the glass surface with a screen protector. I also don't press down very hard when I write. Using a matter paperlike screen protector helps give the metal tip a little more grip.

The best thing is,,, contact the nearest Samsung customer care service in your Town/City in your area(in case of India),,,they will let you know if available,,,they will charge you something like 200-250 rupees,,and you get 2 nibs for that...one black colour (like in original Spen,,, soft one),,, and another white... which is also original Samsung but has hard plastic tip Nothing is better than doing this,,, instead of buying from here n there,,, just go and get it replaced in Samsung customer care Services

I have a staedler and their tips are actually plastic with a rubber tip like the spen. In terms of writing experience, it feels like the spen. So I imagine the wear will be the same as the spen.

Thanks for watching. If you watching at 3:30 I show you how I remove the tips. The tips come with a set of tweezers to pull it out. Sometimes it takes a few tries because it's slippery.

[@Goks45]

How does the metal tip feel when writing on the glass vs the original?

[@littlepeaceofhappiness]

it feels hard. So the spen has a soft tip and feels like the tip compresses on the scren. while the metal tip does not have the soft compression since it is solid. the metal tip does not "glide" like the spen. i say the spen feel likes a felt tip pen, while the metal tip is ball point. but with the glass its slippery. its hard to explain, but I hope that makes sense.

If you're asking about the screen protector. Then I think its a good idea to have one to avoid scratching your screen. they make tempered glass screen protector and also matte paperlike screens. both offer different writing experiences and wear on your nibs. if you're using the original or plastic nibs then you may want to stick to the glass. if you're going with the metal tips then the matte screen may be better.
