I have run out of words to describe your professionality in doing what you do. Incomparable ! There are other channels I visit and follow, but no one is as "deep"! Thank you for your hard work and detail.
You have 30 days to try it out properly, so wait and see How it fits you, because if the limitations aren't a problem for you, then you'll enjoy it for sure :)
If ONLY someone made an EMR pen that emulated (or even just looked like) a fountain pen nib. I would be over the moon!! I miss my fountain pens so much when writing on my rM2.
Hi, I've seen something like it on the site of kaweko, but never in real life, so I'm not sure how it works/feels. If you do decide to try it, please let us know. Edit: mosunderstood it. It's an insert for your regular kaweco pen so it can be turned into a emr pen.
Simply EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do know what more I can say. If it were not for this man's videos I would be the owner of a $600.00 paperweight. God Bless Him!
I have been waiting as everyone else for this video review of the various digital pens. I trust your reviews they have been a wealth of information and various types of tests. Thank you so much Voja! The best!
You are doing an amazing work! Thanks to you, I have decided to buy the Boox Note Air instead of the reMarkable 2. Your videos are extremely well done, you offer well documented (and thorough) information and I think you have helped everyone who’s watching your channel! A sincere thank you! And Happy New Year!
Hi! I watched your video before I bought the Supernote A5X and I've been using the Samsung S6 Lite pen with it since September of 2022. The Samsung pen has been working swimmingly. I'll have to buy some new nibs since the standard one is feeling more and more slippery. One thing I did to balance out the weight of the pen was to add a cap from one of my old analog pens to it. That helps me carry it in my custom supernote cover and also make the pen heavier. Thank you for this video. I'm gonna try the nibs you suggested. 😁
I LOVED this video. I loved seeing all the pens. I have the STAEDTLER jumbo for drawing and I LOOOOOVE it. 37 bucks here and then 27 for the non-eraser. I could not spend the 110 on the rM2 pen. It was just too high. And I feel the company went too far asking that much. My hubby calls it the Ridiculous as well. You guys are funny. That said, I did order the gray one with my rM2 (batch 11). As for the HP nibs, very cool. I LOVE options! Much thanks and Happy Writing.
I second the Staedtler Jumbo opinion! I bought it for my note air and it is amazing for the price!! I have installed the screen protector, I found it to improve the experience in Note Air by a lot..
@@kramo Very cool. Akram. I go back and forth on trying the wooded one for 27 bucks my area but last week, instead, I bought another Jumbo for a back up and extra nibs. SO fun!
@@sukhoi102 Hey Nanda! Not sure if you're asking me but I never used the Boox. I do have the Staedtler Jumbo and I LOVE it for drawing on my Samsung tablet. I also like it on the rM2. But I have a few different pens for the rM2 and I find I cycle through. Sometimes I'll only use one pen for awhile and then I feel like switching and then I switch. But for drawing on my tablet, 100 percent the Jumbo. It fits my little hand well and I find the eraser most useful when drawing cartoons. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ivy
THUMBS UP!! When I first saw the In depth review for the Note Air lasting 2 hours I was "naaah, too much, no way". Now I absolutely love your reviews and comparisons! And I'm so happy you have covered also your BTB bass and the DAW! (yeah, bass guy myself).
@@danielegrazioli3077 I bought a pink one from other seller ,because the grey one already sold out ! and it will come to my door one week later...just can't wait it .
Vijay, the amount of time you must spend testing all these combinations is mind blowing. That being said, thank you. The information you give us in your videos is amazingly helpful and insightful. I for one truly appreciate you spending that time and sharing you experiences with all of us!
Whole process and series outstanding! Objectivity Personified!

I don't know if it is something that came out after this video, but *Lamy Star EMR Pen* comes nowadays with _two types of nibs_ : PC/EL nib for writing over glassy surfaces, and POM nib for writing over paper-like surfaces.
To call your videos a deep dive is a significant understatement. Wow. This was an awesome review as are the others of yours I have watched. Thank you so much!
Thank Voja for this great (as always) review! Just one note on the Lamy pen: if you have the Lamy pen that comes with the Supernote, it has a different harder nib compared to the original Lamy, specifically designed for the soft Supernote surface. So, if you test the original Lamy pen with the original nib, it should be softer and maybe better to be used on the harder surfaces of other devices.
I use the Lamy EMR on a Boox Note Air with the ESR Paper-feel Screen-Protector. Since the HP nibs recommended in this video are not availlable in Germany for a reasonable price, I tried the Wacom felt pen nibs (ACK22213) and really can recommend them! They are IMO way better than the Lamy-nibs (I tried both the ones for glossy surfaces and the POM nibs for paper-like surfaces). At the time of writing, they were availlable via Amazon as a 10-pack for 10 Euros in Germany.
Great review, precise and organize as expected from a Scandinavian 🙂, your conclusion where really helpful. I think you should make a new one after the arrival with the Remarkable 3 and probably one for the new pen budget options
I have been hoping for you to do a video on this since I first came across your channel and got to experience the depth and quality of your content. When I saw that this was out I was a little hesitant as I had built up my expectations pretty high, but I have to say that you blew me away. I really appreciate both the unbiased evaluations and commentary that you bring to each video, as well as the just natural light approach. Even though these are very detailed technical videos you make them just such a joy and a treat to watch! I've been using the reMarkable Marker Plus with my Note Air without screen protector and it has been a joy to write with, I am now looking forward to trying out the Samsung Pen with the ZBook nibs (especially if the magnets hold better). Thank you so much again for the education and the entertainment :)
Thanks for putting this together. They are so many options but the video gives me less anxiety when it comes to purchasing an effective version for daily use.
kudos to you mate for taking your time producing this excellent video. I just returned the Stradtler Jumbo and now will be buying the Samsung S pen for my Note Air instead
Wow, what an amazing effort. I have the two Staedtler Noris, the erase cap on the Jumbo makes it favourite on my Max3. Also they both fit into the elasticated pen loops on the June Adore carry case. I am very tempted to try out your other recommendations.
Hello, thank you so much for your great reviews, they helped me choose my boox note air, and I sadly broke the stylus that was offered with, so I'm back on your channel to get nicely packed informations. Thanks again, it helped a lot :) you do wonderful videos, your voice is so nice to listen to!
lol probably. Samsung Exec 1: Our monthly stats show a huge rise in Tab S6 Lite Pen orders. Samsung Exec 2: But it also shows no one is buying the Tablet. What's up with that? same scenario over at HP with the nibs.
Hello Zoja! I ended up getting a TabUtra and this wonderful file called "My Daily Organizer". Thank you for all of your input. In order to do them both justice I would like to get a good nib. Unfortunately I cannot find anywhere any HP ZBook X2 nibs anywhere, even at the HP site. I am running without the screen protector. and am interested in precision. What would you suggest as the next best fit? By the way the pen 2 pro that came with my TabUltra has a magnet location indicator and as of yet I have not experienced any of the squeaking and vibration that was evident in your review of that product. (but I am still thinking of getting a Samsung S6 so I have one backup). Thank you again Zoja!!
I have been waiting patiently for this video and as usual, you pulled through. Thanks so much Voja! Excellent and detailed review we were all waiting for!
Just the vid I needed, got myself a Nova 3, and I dropped the pen, so the nib is not in good shape and it affects accuracy, so this is juuust perfect , TY again for your dedication to your content!
Another great video... I actually had the HP nibs but never tried the gray ones. I just used the black and after your video i tried the gray with the samsung pen and I LOVE THEM. thank you
Just couple of things to add. even though i love the samsung+HP gray nibs combination, i still feel like on paperlike screen protector like the one i have on, the samsung original nibs are better. I do agree with your comment about the tip of samsung black nib moving which is the only thing i hate about it. does the gray samsung nib do the same ?
Wonderful review -- Thank you Voja! I had my Boox Note 3 for less than 3 weeks, and I absolutely love working with it, but after writing a lot with the default pen, well I think I will be investing on a better pen. I trust your reviews, not only because they are clearly presented, very detailed, well-though out and balanced; but also because many of the things that you comment resonate with my way of using devices in general. Today the comment about the Noris and the nostalgia was spot on -- I was very tempted to go for the regular Noris because of the hexagonal shape and the fact that reminds me my childhood. However, after your review, even though the Samsung looks like a very good pen, I think I am going to invest in the Lamy, is a bit thicker and the way it is designed I think it is better for somebody who writes a lot and tends to hold the pen low. I will not know what to choose without your fantastic review, so thank you again!
My big problem is the nib has worn down in about a week so much that it won't always write. At $20 for 5, this is a problem I didn't expect. I asked Voja about this just now.
Hello, I own a boox note air and am very pleased with it. I have purchased the Samsung pen the first day I received my device, once I saw your advices ... I am a bit disapointed : think it is too thin. I really prefer the boox pen because it reminds me the Pilot V5 or V7 I love to use every day. So to my point of view, the factory boox pen is fantastic (I draw and write a lot on my note air for my architectural activities)
The Remarkable does come with a screen protector installed by default. I have the Staedtler Jumbo, and I love it. But I feel like treating myself. So I just ordered the Supernote Heart of Metal. I want to feel what the best is like 😎
Supernote ceramic nib pens are meant to be used only on the Supernote. The hard ceramic nib will damage any other surface, so you can expect to scratch your reMarkable's hard screen protector top, if you intend to use it with the reMarkable.
Thank you for this great comparison. After watching the video I ordered the samsung pen. It seems to be a good one. But it is so thin and light, that I couldn't even hold it in my quite small male hands to write. It is very slippery in my hands. So I returned it immediately.
Complete, detailed and non-fanboyish as always. Thank you Voja. I received my rM2 last week and and am very happy to not have any jagged lines issue at all. I also have a Staedtler and I love it mostly for sentimental reasons, but the magnets is something I don't want to miss out on. So I still keep my rM2 pen.
I watched every video review and comparison between the Note Air and Remarkable 2 that you've done, and I loved it. Thanks for all your dedication and fine work. After your reviews, I bought the Note Air, and the Staedtler Noris Digital Jumbo. Maybe I'm just too new for this category product, but I have to say that de Boox Pen that comes with the Note Air is pretty comfortable, and the Staedtler writing experience does not significantly improved my general feeling , except for the eraser top usage. Anyway, I'll be trying both, and maybe I'll try some of the pens of this video. Saludos desde Chile!!!
Thanks Voja, great review as usual. You uploaded the video sooner than expected (at least this is what you said). So, thanks again. I bought Nova 2 because of your review, and I love it, but it is too small to read academic papers. I tried remarkable 2, but the software was disapointing, so I returned it. Now I am waiting for Note Air to arrive. If it comes with the cheap pen (not the triangle pen), I will probably buy Lamy pen + RM2 nibs (the RM2 pen and nibs are available at the website now). Let's see...
Hi, I've been following you for 2 weeks or so, because I'm planning to buy my first e-ink tablet. Thank you so much for sharing with us all these issues, it's so precious! So decided to buy the Boox Note air 2 plus and purchase it this week. My question: is the Samsung stylus magnetic and if so, does it hold well on the side of the tablet?
Thank you very much! Yes, it is magnetic and it holds ok, not great, but well enough for normal table use, however, when transporting the tablet in a bag or a backpack, I would store the pen separately.
@@MyDeepGuide Thank you Voja I've been already looking on Amazon and I found it at 36€, but not the nibs... I'll keep looking. Very difficult to find the orange flip cover also, even I know it's not perfect, but I don't like the thick ones with a shell or the rotating thing, too bulky... I appreciate so much your answer, as I didn't expect a quick one 😅, as it's a little bit old video and you must have so many other questions from the e-ink community that follows you. I'll buy also your MDO as soon as got my Boox tablet. You do great, we are all blessed to have you 👍👍👍! Eliza
As always a great and calming video, but since "the right pen" is so subjective and personal, I would've preferred more objective information like the length, width and weight of the pen. I like a 8-9mm wide pen and as light -but stiff - as possible, and after seeing this review i'm still not sure which is the right pen for me. Keep it up though!
@ Vincent Quak - I have the Samsung S pen and find it a bit thin, and with the white nib it's pretty slippy - I get a lot of pain in my hands and need a thicker pen to hold. I like the Nova 3 triangular pen but my nib is totally worn out - looking for the HP nibs recommended here but they seem to be unavailable everywhere!! What pen have you gone for - and what device do you have?
Hi Voja, awesome channel with very helpful and detailed reviews and tips.. Just one question, how long do you think one nib from the HP ZBook X2 Gray Nibs would last for daily couple of pages usage on the Remarkable 2 with the S6 Lite pen? I know it would vary, but a rough range estimate would be great.. I'm new to the enote tablets and nibs world and wanted to get an estimate of the consumption so I can keep extras.. Thanks a lot in advance buddy!
I do find this video useful! Thank you so much! I've broken my Onyx Default Stylus nib when it fallen to the floor last night! I'll try the Samsung Pen and I'll try to find the HP x2 Nibs!
I have the Samsung S 6 lite tablet as well as a Nova 3 - I find the S pen very glidey/slippy on the glass screen of the Samsung - it's nice enough and very quick but doesn't feel like writing on paper - I quite like using it on my Nova as it has more grip - and here's the funny thing - using my Boox pen (even with a really worn out nib) on the Samsung is quite decent too!! I was going to buy a different pen but maybe I'll just get some nibs!!
Great video as all of yours ... Lot of interesting and value information... just one question after one year i cannot buy any of the nibs that you recommend most of the are out of stock or the supplier does not sell them anymore... nowadays wich nib will be the best for the LAMY AL-star Black EMR. Thanks a Lot in Advance.... your videos are all worth to see that's really an outstanding Job
Thanks very much Voja. Based on your extensive analysis, I have ordered a Note Air from the eReader store. It should be with me on Friday ... can't wait. On the subject of syli, my favourite ink pen is a fisher space pen. It is a full-sized pen, but can be pulled apart and halved in size for storage; it fits perfectly in the fold of my wallet. My perfect sylus would be one of these, with a erase functionality and - I guess - the ability to take the Samsung grey nibs. In the meantime, I'll sure I won't know the difference between various syli when I get my Air so will probably be happy with it - as in very! Thanks again, I just want to reiterate how useful your analysis is for newbies like me !
Thank you very much for this video! It's been very informative. I have the RM2 with the marker plus and the writing experience is very good. I also like the feel of the marker plus and the fact that it's weighty. Would you say that the combination of the Samsung and the hp nibs that you propose will elevate the writing experience? I usually write with the fineliner and not so much with the pencils. I've also seen some people suggesting that by changing pen the jagged lines are reduced, however I wouldn't bet on that. Thanks again!
As others have mentioned, the ZBook X2 Nibs are difficult to find anywhere. I know you've recommended people find other ways to buy them, but that is almost impossible now. So, can you recommend a 2nd best nib for a Remarkable 2 if I want to get the Samsung Tab S2 Lite pen?
I was looking for this! Could you make a playlist for pens please? Unless you already have one and I just missed it earlier. Pens aside I’ve been finding your playlists via device super useful for finding relevant information videos quickly. :D
Really awesome video as usual on you, with facts and deep dive instead of only sensations, congratulations!!. I use the expensive remarkable pack (black new one + official nips and it works very well for me while drawing and taking notes but…the high cost is a contra. Do you know where can I get those HP nips to try at least another feeling?
I bet I am not the only one who watched a couple of other videos and who made his final choice after viewing this one! Thanks a lot it is an awesome review.
I'm a galaxy tab user, and my two favorite pen are the Lamy all star and the galaxy tab S4 Spen. Of course it is mostly a matter of personnal taste it vastly depends on your grip. I think the S6 lite Spen is a bit too thin. I also prefer soft nibs to write on my S7 tab (with a mat protector screen) I also quite like the Staetler Noris digital pen, but I miss the shortcut button...
Thanks a lot for this great video. One question: Where should I buy Samsung s lite replacement nibs? On Amazon there are a lot of third-party products...
Do non-remarkable nibs have any risk of damaging the screen coating in the long run? I'm curious because it seems like harder materials may interact differently and scratch. Great video by the way! Always very helpful and well researched
Ok quick update - i visited the Samsung store where i tried the new S7 lite pen with my Note air plus. there is no real difference between s6 and s7 pens. The store helpers mentioned S7 has few internal tweaks due to the new tablets. Would be great to get your take on it Voja. keep the updates coming amazing work. Cheers.
Great video! Its very relaxing and comfortable to listen to you talking, and there was a lot of good info here. Im gonna be checking out the HP ZBook nibs for my RM2 M+ pen and the Jumbo Noris to compare!
I'd love an answer to this. I'm planning to have a Wacom Intuos on the side. It makes sense that a Wacom pen should work perfectly fine, but when Voja confirms it, you know you can buy it eyes closed :]
I tried the pen that came with the Wacom Intuos Pro but it does not work with my Boox Max Lumi. The nib that comes with the Max Lumi is more thin and would fall out of the Wacom pen. The Wacom pen as is does not register on the display of the Boox Max Lumi.
What an amazing video and so much work put into it! I have bouth the jumbo norris but I wish I didn't. Would you recommend buying the Samsung S6 or do you think buying the HP ZBOOK nibs on the Jumbo norris will do the trick ?
Your review is so calming and knowledgable. So, I assume for Note Air, the remarkable 2 pen or Samsung S6 Lite is the best. Am I right? Thank you Voya!
Thank you :) I like it the best. Some users find it too thin, and you should also be aware that Remarkable is the only one that doesn't support the function of the eraser button. It is possible to install a hack, but I refrain from doing that, because every so often, people write to me with stories that their device would lock out, crash or just stop working after installing various hacks (last week alone I had 3 people write to me with such a question). The rest of the devices (except Papyr, of course) have full support of the eraser button.
@@MyDeepGuide Thank you Voya. I will try to use the stylus that came with Note Air as long as I can but after it gets damaged or wores off, I will use the Samsung S6 lite.
As always, kudos to Voja and his outstanding videos. I have both the Note Air and rM2. My third party stylus pens are the Staedtler Digital and Jumbo pens and the Samsung S6 Lite. I ordered the Marker Plus with my rM pre-order. It was $50 then. It’s a bit of a rip off at $110 now. The Marker and Marker Plus are ideal for the rM2 for the writing experience and the solid magnetic attachment. I see no reason to “upgrade” to a third party stylus for this tablet. I have used the Jumbo on the rM2. It has the same rubbery draggy feel as on the Note Air. The eraser is much better than the Marker Plus, but that alone is not enough reason to switch pens. In either case, if you need precise eraser control, you are better off using the software eraser. I purchased my third party pens primarily for the Note Air. The Staedtler pens just feel a little too weird to me. That eerie quiet rubbery drag just doesn’t do it for me. Still the Jumbo eraser is excellent. The Samsung S6 Lite with rM nib is the best stylus-nib combo for the Note Air so far. The writing experience is nearly the same as the rM2 with its Marker. The magnetics are as good as the stock Note Air stylus. The Samsung is fairly secure against the tablet when it is in its case, but with out the case the pen falls off very easily. I have two basic cons with the Samsung. First, it is a very skinny form factor. If you have large thin hands like me, you may find it difficult or uncomfortable to use long term. Second and related to the first, the eraser button is hard to find and hard to use. The Samsung just doesn’t quite fit naturally in my hand. I have to contort my finger or thumb to get to the eraser button. The button also seems to have a fairly small sweet spot. If I don’t press it just right, instead of erasing, I am scribbling lines over what I want to erase. The eraser issue spoils my work flow. Still, combined with an rM nib, the Samsung out performs the cheap Note Air stylus. Next up, the Lamy EMR and some HP nibs. I am willing to forego semi-secure magnetic attachments in favor of a stylus pen that truly fits my hand. Hopefully this is the ideal combo for me on my Note Air. These should arrive in a week or two.
@@dot5816 That combo is quite good for writing feel. Perhaps just a bit more paper-like than rM Marker with rM nib. I suppose that putting the HP nib in the rM Marker would have the same feel. Two cons for the Lamy are: 1) no magnetic attachment and 2) the eraser button doesn't work on rM2. The Lamy has a thicker barrel than the rM Marker. Yet the rM Marker is sufficiently thick to be very comfortable to use. The HP nibs are supposed to last longer than rM nibs. I think the rM Markers are such an ideal companion to the rM2 that if you can find a good deal for the Markers, that's definitely the way to go. If you can afford paying top dollar for the rM Markers then you should do it. You won't be disappointed in feel and performance. As for the Lamy, it's my backup stylus after the Samsung S6 Lite for my Note Air. Both have the HP nibs. I have the original Onyx screen protector on my Note Air. This is a good writing surface for the HP nibs, very much like the rM2.
@@starroger thank you so much!! And would you recommend the Lamy or Samsung Stylus for the rM2? I'm a University student and I take a lot of notes and draw a lot as a hobby!
@@dot5816 The eraser buttons on those styli do not work on rM2. You would have to use the eraser tool or back icon to erase or undo your last scribble or mark. I have not found a stylus that is superior to the Marker Plus, which is what I have for my rM2. It's the best combination of stylus and tablet for the rM line, but oh so pricey. The Lamy and Samsung S6 Lite are the best options for Boox tablets in my opinion. However, if you are considering the rM2 and want to save a little money on the rM Stylus, you should definitely consider the Marker without the eraser. It is about the same cost as the Lamy and Samsung S6 Lite, you have the same eraser function experience, and the magnetic attachment of the rM Markers to the rM2 tablet is much stronger and more secure than any other combination of tablets and styli. Also consider HP gray nibs. Voja and other reviewers like the writing feel of these nibs and they last longer than rM nibs.
Hii. I dont really comment on videos but thank you so much for the useful information. Quick question, as the hp zbook x2 nib has been discontinued, what would be the next best combination for my remarkable 2? Thanks in advance for your response. 💪
Great review! Revealing, with such great details! I have a couple of questions: 1) I just bought the Galaxy Tab S6 lite, with the S pen you like so much, but for me and my hand it is too thin. I was about to order Staedtler Jumbo, but after your video, I am opting for the Lamy Al-Star, for the shape it has in the fingers area, and the compatibility with various nibs. But of course I want to keep the S pen option alive! Who knows, I might love it after all! The HP nibs are almost nowhere to be found, so what alternatives would you suggest for the Tab S6 lite S pen? Bear in mind that I am a left hander writer (Math professor actually) so I tend to press the stylus harder. I am looking for nibs that won't scratch the tab's surface, but at the same time won't wear down too fast... Any suggestions? 2) Lamy is my goto anternative. I read that reMarkable nibs work great with it. What are your thoughts on alternative nibs for Lamy, again for a left handed writer on the pushy side? And again, besides the HP nibs, that are hard to find. Thank you again for youre work! Keep it up!
Hi Voya ! For the S pen if you add ddvk stylus hack it enables the button as eraser ! Great trick, the S pen is now for me really the best one for a reasonable price. Happy new Year and good health, looking forward on remarkable 2 news. BR
Man you are the best I bought my first e-book reader nova 2 because of you and the amount of the honesty that I feel in your videos, and I absolutely love it, thanks a lot My question is lamy EMR compatible with my device, cause in their website they just mention boox note and max2 ?
If you have the time I would love to see an updated video including the new iReader X-Pen Gen 3 emr pen. I'm really curious what your opinion of that pen is, I love all your videos and really trust your opinion on these things!
I bought the S6 pen based on this review, and have to say it did not feel right/comfortable for me. That's not a criticism of the review by any means, just a reminder that the right pen for the reviewer may not be the right pen for you (and to be clear, I think the reviewer did a great job of making this point throughout the video!). For me the Staedtler Jumbo was a much more comfortable experience, and that might be due to larger hand size, or some other preference.
Great video! thank you so much! I was curious to know which nibs fit the Remarkable 2 pro pen. The original needs are pretty weak, and I've used already 3 in about two months. I'm just looking for something a little more durable. Thank you!
Hey Voja! I recently picked up a Nova Air after watching your videos & I’m loving using it to journal and take notes each day. Im looking to get some replacement nibs or a replacement pen for it and the Samsung S6 Lite pen looks great - could you confirm for me if it magnetizes to the side of the Nova Air well? That’s the last detail that has me holding off and looking at the new Boox Pro2 Pen instead. Thank you so much!
I love the staedtler jumbo for its tip eraser. Tried Lamy but I hated fumbling for the eraser. Now if the staedtler would fit wacom nibs, or harder nibs - or if Lamy had tip eraser... gosh either of these would be a dream on my paper-like screen protector.
Thank you for this very thorough and helpful review ! Following your advice, I just ordered the Samsung pen and I was looking forward to trying it with the HP nibs, but I can't seem to find them on sale anywhere even after browsing the Internet for nearly an hour :( Do you think they're definetely "out of stock" ? In that case, what alternative(s) would you recommend ? The Remarkable nibs over the Samsung ones ? New nibs you hadn't tried at the time you recorded this video ? Thank you for your answer !
@@MyDeepGuide Thanks for your quick answer ! Which alternative(s) is(are) best in your opinion (compatible w/ the Samsung pen) ? Have you ever tried the HP ZBook x360 nibs for Active Pen, or do you know if they are equivalent to the HP ones you are so fond of ? Thank you again !
Thanks for the video ! Standard bic roll pen is the one I’m using everyday. I like the thiness of it. The Lamy seems thick. Would you have a recommandation of a pen that would be comparable to the simple bic ?
Fantastic review Voja. I’ve been waiting for this since I got my Note Air a couple of weeks ago. For the Samsung Pen, can you use the button as an eraser on the Note Air? I’ve found that erasing is a bit of a chore with the Note Air as I currently have to select the eraser, re-select the pen, and then minimize the shortcut tab. If you can’t use it as an eraser, I think you said the Lamy button can be used as an eraser.
Excellent video as always! Thanks so much for this review - I have been waiting on this to decide which to buy for my new note air. Got the Samsung pen, but can't seem to find the HP nibs anywhere. Starting wonder if they've been discontinued. Thinking I'll just go with the Lamy and get the reMarkable nibs. Cheers!
Hello and thank you for watching :) As far as I know, they haven't been discontinued, just sold out. Some people say they were able to find them at sources other than Amazon, so it's worth broadening the search.
Thanks for the deep guide! Truly well done. What do you think about the new Galaxy S7 pen? Is there much of a difference with the Galaxy S6 lite pen that you recommend?
Hi Voja, the work you do is spectacular. I wanted to ask you about the standard Supernote pen, you didn't put it in the rating, is it because you don't consider it a good pen?
Thank you :) No, it's the same reason as the HOM pen, and they both feel and perform really really good, but have the same exact negatives. Also, at the time of making the video, I didn't have it, so I was unable to include it.

@@MyDeepGuide I have finally gotten the DHL email for my reM 2 - Dec 8th. Yet at this point I am really considering Note Air.
You have 30 days to try it out properly, so wait and see How it fits you, because if the limitations aren't a problem for you, then you'll enjoy it for sure :)
I absolutely agree. I've been thinking the same thing. Your work is very professional. Your knowledge is deep. And, you explain everything very well.
If ONLY someone made an EMR pen that emulated (or even just looked like) a fountain pen nib. I would be over the moon!!
I miss my fountain pens so much when writing on my rM2.
Hi,
I've seen something like it on the site of kaweko, but never in real life, so I'm not sure how it works/feels.
If you do decide to try it, please let us know.
Edit: mosunderstood it. It's an insert for your regular kaweco pen so it can be turned into a emr pen.
Simply EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do know what more I can say. If it were not for this man's videos I would be the owner of a $600.00 paperweight. God Bless Him!
Ohhh you are the best, I was waiting for this video so much, I even can't help my self write this comment even before seeing the video.
Hi! can you make a 2023 version of this video please? That would be awesome
I second this as well, speaking as a new Remarkable 2 owner
Yeah would be great :) 2024
+1 And also I'm curious about Wacom's broad range of products, since all of these are based on the Wacom digitizer EMR standard.
These are the best reviews I've ever seen about anything, thank you
I just tried my s-pen on the note air2 and I couldn't agree more with you.
Just an outstanding combination of precision and comfort.
I have been waiting as everyone else for this video review of the various digital pens. I trust your reviews they have been a wealth of information and various types of tests. Thank you so much Voja! The best!
You are doing an amazing work! Thanks to you, I have decided to buy the Boox Note Air instead of the reMarkable 2. Your videos are extremely well done, you offer well documented (and thorough) information and I think you have helped everyone who’s watching your channel! A sincere thank you! And Happy New Year!
Hi! I watched your video before I bought the Supernote A5X and I've been using the Samsung S6 Lite pen with it since September of 2022. The Samsung pen has been working swimmingly. I'll have to buy some new nibs since the standard one is feeling more and more slippery. One thing I did to balance out the weight of the pen was to add a cap from one of my old analog pens to it. That helps me carry it in my custom supernote cover and also make the pen heavier. Thank you for this video. I'm gonna try the nibs you suggested. 😁
I LOVED this video. I loved seeing all the pens. I have the STAEDTLER jumbo for drawing and I LOOOOOVE it. 37 bucks here and then 27 for the non-eraser. I could not spend the 110 on the rM2 pen. It was just too high. And I feel the company went too far asking that much. My hubby calls it the Ridiculous as well. You guys are funny. That said, I did order the gray one with my rM2 (batch 11). As for the HP nibs, very cool. I LOVE options! Much thanks and Happy Writing.
I second the Staedtler Jumbo opinion! I bought it for my note air and it is amazing for the price!!
I have installed the screen protector, I found it to improve the experience in Note Air by a lot..
@@kramo Very cool. Akram. I go back and forth on trying the wooded one for 27 bucks my area but last week, instead, I bought another Jumbo for a back up and extra nibs. SO fun!
Which one is better: the new Boox Pen 2 Pro vs Staedtler Noris Digital Jumbo (price is not a problem)?
@@sukhoi102 Hey Nanda! Not sure if you're asking me but I never used the Boox. I do have the Staedtler Jumbo and I LOVE it for drawing on my Samsung tablet. I also like it on the rM2. But I have a few different pens for the rM2 and I find I cycle through. Sometimes I'll only use one pen for awhile and then I feel like switching and then I switch. But for drawing on my tablet, 100 percent the Jumbo. It fits my little hand well and I find the eraser most useful when drawing cartoons. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ivy
Just ran across this. What an excellent review. Until now, I didn't realize these pens were usable across devices
Thank you very much :)
This is one of the best videos I've watched on RUclips in a long time.... Thank you!
Thank you for prounincing Staedtler correctly.
Greetings from Germany
I grew up with that name, but I'm glad to hear that the pronunciation was correct, at least something stuck from school German classes :) Tschüß :)
This is insanely helpful, I have never comment on any YT video in the past, but I really appreciate the value you have here, well done
I am happy to hear that it helps :)
THUMBS UP!! When I first saw the In depth review for the Note Air lasting 2 hours I was "naaah, too much, no way". Now I absolutely love your reviews and comparisons! And I'm so happy you have covered also your BTB bass and the DAW! (yeah, bass guy myself).
Thanks to you I've just bought the Samsung pen for my Note Air.
Thank you man
Did your test your Samsung pen on your Note air ? how's the feeling ? I 'm just looking for a better pen for my Note air .
@@chenmelanie5065 not yet, it's scheduled to arrive next Thursday.
I'll let you know as soon as I get it ;)
@@danielegrazioli3077 thank you for your fast reply ,I can't wait and just order one set from Amazon . thanks again
@@chenmelanie5065 I'm sure it'll be amazing!
@@danielegrazioli3077 I bought a pink one from other seller ,because the grey one already sold out ! and it will come to my door one week later...just can't wait it .
I love that you delve in to very specific territory like "a boox device without a screen protector". Exactly what I need! Thanks for the hard work!
Vijay, the amount of time you must spend testing all these combinations is mind blowing. That being said, thank you. The information you give us in your videos is amazingly helpful and insightful. I for one truly appreciate you spending that time and sharing you experiences with all of us!
Whole process and series outstanding! Objectivity Personified!
I don't know if it is something that came out after this video, but *Lamy Star EMR Pen* comes nowadays with _two types of nibs_ : PC/EL nib for writing over glassy surfaces, and POM nib for writing over paper-like surfaces.
To call your videos a deep dive is a significant understatement. Wow. This was an awesome review as are the others of yours I have watched. Thank you so much!
Thank Voja for this great (as always) review!
Just one note on the Lamy pen: if you have the Lamy pen that comes with the Supernote, it has a different harder nib compared to the original Lamy, specifically designed for the soft Supernote surface. So, if you test the original Lamy pen with the original nib, it should be softer and maybe better to be used on the harder surfaces of other devices.
Good to know, thank you :)
I use the Lamy EMR on a Boox Note Air with the ESR Paper-feel Screen-Protector. Since the HP nibs recommended in this video are not availlable in Germany for a reasonable price, I tried the Wacom felt pen nibs (ACK22213) and really can recommend them! They are IMO way better than the Lamy-nibs (I tried both the ones for glossy surfaces and the POM nibs for paper-like surfaces). At the time of writing, they were availlable via Amazon as a 10-pack for 10 Euros in Germany.
Great review, precise and organize as expected from a Scandinavian 🙂, your conclusion where really helpful.
I think you should make a new one after the arrival with the Remarkable 3 and probably one for the new pen budget options
I have been hoping for you to do a video on this since I first came across your channel and got to experience the depth and quality of your content. When I saw that this was out I was a little hesitant as I had built up my expectations pretty high, but I have to say that you blew me away. I really appreciate both the unbiased evaluations and commentary that you bring to each video, as well as the just natural light approach. Even though these are very detailed technical videos you make them just such a joy and a treat to watch!
I've been using the reMarkable Marker Plus with my Note Air without screen protector and it has been a joy to write with, I am now looking forward to trying out the Samsung Pen with the ZBook nibs (especially if the magnets hold better). Thank you so much again for the education and the entertainment :)
Thank you very much for your kindness and support! :)
Thanks for putting this together. They are so many options but the video gives me less anxiety when it comes to purchasing an effective version for daily use.
Excellent! Amazing! Perfect! I was highly confused about pen and nib; now I got the answer. Thanks 'My Deep Guide'.
kudos to you mate for taking your time producing this excellent video. I just returned the Stradtler Jumbo and now will be buying the Samsung S pen for my Note Air instead
Thank you so much! This is the video I've been waiting for. You are a treasured resource!
Wow, what an amazing effort. I have the two Staedtler Noris, the erase cap on the Jumbo makes it favourite on my Max3. Also they both fit into the elasticated pen loops on the June Adore carry case. I am very tempted to try out your other recommendations.
Hello, thank you so much for your great reviews, they helped me choose my boox note air, and I sadly broke the stylus that was offered with, so I'm back on your channel to get nicely packed informations. Thanks again, it helped a lot :) you do wonderful videos, your voice is so nice to listen to!
I think that Samsung pen is going to be sold out on amazon in few days after this video... I mean... I ordered mine immediately :)
lol probably.
Samsung Exec 1: Our monthly stats show a huge rise in Tab S6 Lite Pen orders.
Samsung Exec 2: But it also shows no one is buying the Tablet. What's up with that?
same scenario over at HP with the nibs.
What about the Wacom One pen ?
It's sold out now :( I wanted to buy one from amazon
Told ya... :D
@@153bigfishes I think I'm gonna go with the STAEDTLER Noris digital jumbo, what do you think?
Hello Zoja! I ended up getting a TabUtra and this wonderful file called "My Daily Organizer". Thank you for all of your input. In order to do them both justice I would like to get a good nib. Unfortunately I cannot find anywhere any HP ZBook X2 nibs anywhere, even at the HP site. I am running without the screen protector. and am interested in precision. What would you suggest as the next best fit? By the way the pen 2 pro that came with my TabUltra has a magnet location indicator and as of yet I have not experienced any of the squeaking and vibration that was evident in your review of that product. (but I am still thinking of getting a Samsung S6 so I have one backup). Thank you again Zoja!!
I have been waiting patiently for this video and as usual, you pulled through. Thanks so much Voja! Excellent and detailed review we were all waiting for!
Just the vid I needed, got myself a Nova 3, and I dropped the pen, so the nib is not in good shape and it affects accuracy, so this is juuust perfect ,
TY again for your dedication to your content!
Another great video... I actually had the HP nibs but never tried the gray ones. I just used the black and after your video i tried the gray with the samsung pen and I LOVE THEM. thank you
Just couple of things to add. even though i love the samsung+HP gray nibs combination, i still feel like on paperlike screen protector like the one i have on, the samsung original nibs are better.
I do agree with your comment about the tip of samsung black nib moving which is the only thing i hate about it. does the gray samsung nib do the same ?
No, it's harder and doesn't have the rubbery tip.
@@MyDeepGuide great will put it instead of the black then. thank you
Wonderful review -- Thank you Voja!
I had my Boox Note 3 for less than 3 weeks, and I absolutely love working with it, but after writing a lot with the default pen, well I think I will be investing on a better pen. I trust your reviews, not only because they are clearly presented, very detailed, well-though out and balanced; but also because many of the things that you comment resonate with my way of using devices in general. Today the comment about the Noris and the nostalgia was spot on -- I was very tempted to go for the regular Noris because of the hexagonal shape and the fact that reminds me my childhood. However, after your review, even though the Samsung looks like a very good pen, I think I am going to invest in the Lamy, is a bit thicker and the way it is designed I think it is better for somebody who writes a lot and tends to hold the pen low. I will not know what to choose without your fantastic review, so thank you again!
Thank you very much for your support and kindness :) Both Lamy and Samsung are fantastic pens, so it comes down to personal preferences :)
My big problem is the nib has worn down in about a week so much that it won't always write. At $20 for 5, this is a problem I didn't expect. I asked Voja about this just now.
Seeing this 2024, and it’s still relevant and helpful!
Hey, you've made an outstanding and most infomative video in that matter. Has anything in your opinions changed since you published this material?
Hello, I own a boox note air and am very pleased with it. I have purchased the Samsung pen the first day I received my device, once I saw your advices ... I am a bit disapointed : think it is too thin. I really prefer the boox pen because it reminds me the Pilot V5 or V7 I love to use every day. So to my point of view, the factory boox pen is fantastic (I draw and write a lot on my note air for my architectural activities)
Ugh, I've been waiting for this video ever since I started watching your channel. You're the best, thanks!
This was so helpful! Looking at getting the Lamy pen but was concerned about the nib.
The Remarkable does come with a screen protector installed by default. I have the Staedtler Jumbo, and I love it. But I feel like treating myself. So I just ordered the Supernote Heart of Metal. I want to feel what the best is like 😎
Supernote ceramic nib pens are meant to be used only on the Supernote. The hard ceramic nib will damage any other surface, so you can expect to scratch your reMarkable's hard screen protector top, if you intend to use it with the reMarkable.
This is the best review of anything I’ve ever seen.
Thank you for this great comparison. After watching the video I ordered the samsung pen. It seems to be a good one. But it is so thin and light, that I couldn't even hold it in my quite small male hands to write. It is very slippery in my hands. So I returned it immediately.
Complete, detailed and non-fanboyish as always. Thank you Voja.
I received my rM2 last week and and am very happy to not have any jagged lines issue at all.
I also have a Staedtler and I love it mostly for sentimental reasons, but the magnets is something I don't want to miss out on. So I still keep my rM2 pen.
Is this because you did the hack he’s mentioned in another video or did they fix the problem ?
Does the Staedtler work well on RM2? I have read some reviews that say that is best for slippery surfaces due its soft nib.
@@ΒέραΔημητριάδη Yes it works without a problem. But the writing feeling is more like a gel pen. If you like that you can give it a try.
@@swisspeedy Thanx a lot for your answer!
I watched every video review and comparison between the Note Air and Remarkable 2 that you've done, and I loved it. Thanks for all your dedication and fine work. After your reviews, I bought the Note Air, and the Staedtler Noris Digital Jumbo.
Maybe I'm just too new for this category product, but I have to say that de Boox Pen that comes with the Note Air is pretty comfortable, and the Staedtler writing experience does not significantly improved my general feeling , except for the eraser top usage. Anyway, I'll be trying both, and maybe I'll try some of the pens of this video.
Saludos desde Chile!!!
Thanks, that's an amazing review! Just got my Remarkable 2, will get the Lamy.
Thanks Voja, great review as usual. You uploaded the video sooner than expected (at least this is what you said). So, thanks again. I bought Nova 2 because of your review, and I love it, but it is too small to read academic papers. I tried remarkable 2, but the software was disapointing, so I returned it. Now I am waiting for Note Air to arrive. If it comes with the cheap pen (not the triangle pen), I will probably buy Lamy pen + RM2 nibs (the RM2 pen and nibs are available at the website now). Let's see...
Hi, I've been following you for 2 weeks or so, because I'm planning to buy my first e-ink tablet. Thank you so much for sharing with us all these issues, it's so precious! So decided to buy the Boox Note air 2 plus and purchase it this week. My question: is the Samsung stylus magnetic and if so, does it hold well on the side of the tablet?
Thank you very much! Yes, it is magnetic and it holds ok, not great, but well enough for normal table use, however, when transporting the tablet in a bag or a backpack, I would store the pen separately.
@@MyDeepGuide Thank you Voja I've been already looking on Amazon and I found it at 36€, but not the nibs... I'll keep looking. Very difficult to find the orange flip cover also, even I know it's not perfect, but I don't like the thick ones with a shell or the rotating thing, too bulky...
I appreciate so much your answer, as I didn't expect a quick one 😅, as it's a little bit old video and you must have so many other questions from the e-ink community that follows you. I'll buy also your MDO as soon as got my Boox tablet. You do great, we are all blessed to have you 👍👍👍! Eliza
As always a great and calming video, but since "the right pen" is so subjective and personal, I would've preferred more objective information like the length, width and weight of the pen. I like a 8-9mm wide pen and as light -but stiff - as possible, and after seeing this review i'm still not sure which is the right pen for me. Keep it up though!
@ Vincent Quak - I have the Samsung S pen and find it a bit thin, and with the white nib it's pretty slippy - I get a lot of pain in my hands and need a thicker pen to hold. I like the Nova 3 triangular pen but my nib is totally worn out - looking for the HP nibs recommended here but they seem to be unavailable everywhere!! What pen have you gone for - and what device do you have?
Thank you so much for your 3 weeks of hard work!
Hi Voja, awesome channel with very helpful and detailed reviews and tips.. Just one question, how long do you think one nib from the HP ZBook X2 Gray Nibs would last for daily couple of pages usage on the Remarkable 2 with the S6 Lite pen? I know it would vary, but a rough range estimate would be great.. I'm new to the enote tablets and nibs world and wanted to get an estimate of the consumption so I can keep extras.. Thanks a lot in advance buddy!
I do find this video useful! Thank you so much! I've broken my Onyx Default Stylus nib when it fallen to the floor last night! I'll try the Samsung Pen and I'll try to find the HP x2 Nibs!
I have the Samsung S 6 lite tablet as well as a Nova 3 - I find the S pen very glidey/slippy on the glass screen of the Samsung - it's nice enough and very quick but doesn't feel like writing on paper - I quite like using it on my Nova as it has more grip - and here's the funny thing - using my Boox pen (even with a really worn out nib) on the Samsung is quite decent too!!
I was going to buy a different pen but maybe I'll just get some nibs!!
Thank you for recommending the HP 1VY60AA ZBook Nibs for the Remarkable 2 pen - my goodness - they really are smooth as butter.
Glad you like them :) They are hard to find, but of so worth it :)
Great video as all of yours ... Lot of interesting and value information... just one question after one year i cannot buy any of the nibs that you recommend most of the are out of stock or the supplier does not sell them anymore... nowadays wich nib will be the best for the LAMY AL-star Black EMR.
Thanks a Lot in Advance.... your videos are all worth to see that's really an outstanding Job
Thanks very much Voja. Based on your extensive analysis, I have ordered a Note Air from the eReader store. It should be with me on Friday ... can't wait.
On the subject of syli, my favourite ink pen is a fisher space pen. It is a full-sized pen, but can be pulled apart and halved in size for storage; it fits perfectly in the fold of my wallet. My perfect sylus would be one of these, with a erase functionality and - I guess - the ability to take the Samsung grey nibs. In the meantime, I'll sure I won't know the difference between various syli when I get my Air so will probably be happy with it - as in very!
Thanks again, I just want to reiterate how useful your analysis is for newbies like me !
Thank you very much for your support :)
Man you are awesome. This is just the one review I have been looking for. Too bad I have already ordered my staedtler jumbo on discount.
Unbelievably detailed and helpful reviews, thanks so much.
Only one word to describe your review. EXCELLENT!
Thank you very much for this video! It's been very informative. I have the RM2 with the marker plus and the writing experience is very good. I also like the feel of the marker plus and the fact that it's weighty. Would you say that the combination of the Samsung and the hp nibs that you propose will elevate the writing experience? I usually write with the fineliner and not so much with the pencils. I've also seen some people suggesting that by changing pen the jagged lines are reduced, however I wouldn't bet on that. Thanks again!
I think that it's much cheaper to try the HP nibs first in your marker plus that you already have and like the feel of :)
As others have mentioned, the ZBook X2 Nibs are difficult to find anywhere. I know you've recommended people find other ways to buy them, but that is almost impossible now. So, can you recommend a 2nd best nib for a Remarkable 2 if I want to get the Samsung Tab S2 Lite pen?
I was looking for this! Could you make a playlist for pens please? Unless you already have one and I just missed it earlier. Pens aside I’ve been finding your playlists via device super useful for finding relevant information videos quickly. :D
Really awesome video as usual on you, with facts and deep dive instead of only sensations, congratulations!!. I use the expensive remarkable pack (black new one + official nips and it works very well for me while drawing and taking notes but…the high cost is a contra. Do you know where can I get those HP nips to try at least another feeling?
Thank you :) Unfortunately, those brilliant nibs have since been discontinued :(
I bet I am not the only one who watched a couple of other videos and who made his final choice after viewing this one! Thanks a lot it is an awesome review.
I'm a galaxy tab user, and my two favorite pen are the Lamy all star and the galaxy tab S4 Spen.
Of course it is mostly a matter of personnal taste it vastly depends on your grip. I think the S6 lite Spen is a bit too thin.
I also prefer soft nibs to write on my S7 tab (with a mat protector screen)
I also quite like the Staetler Noris digital pen, but I miss the shortcut button...
Thanks a lot for this great video. One question: Where should I buy Samsung s lite replacement nibs? On Amazon there are a lot of third-party products...
Very useful and thoroughly review indeed, thank you and keep posting.
Is the samsung tab s6 lite pen still your favorit pen?
Do non-remarkable nibs have any risk of damaging the screen coating in the long run? I'm curious because it seems like harder materials may interact differently and scratch.
Great video by the way! Always very helpful and well researched
Thanks :) No, only the Supernote Heart Of Metal would carry the risk of potential scratching.
Hi Voja - amazingly helpful videos. i see there is a new S-Pen 7, have you used it? what is the difference between the S-Pen 6 lite you reviewed?
Ok quick update - i visited the Samsung store where i tried the new S7 lite pen with my Note air plus. there is no real difference between s6 and s7 pens. The store helpers mentioned S7 has few internal tweaks due to the new tablets. Would be great to get your take on it Voja. keep the updates coming amazing work. Cheers.
Great video! Its very relaxing and comfortable to listen to you talking, and there was a lot of good info here. Im gonna be checking out the HP ZBook nibs for my RM2 M+ pen and the Jumbo Noris to compare!
You forgot the Wacom One pen xD (or any other wacom stylus). But anyway, your videos are AWESOME !!! every day getting better and better.
I'd love an answer to this. I'm planning to have a Wacom Intuos on the side.
It makes sense that a Wacom pen should work perfectly fine, but when Voja confirms it, you know you can buy it eyes closed :]
I tried the pen that came with the Wacom Intuos Pro but it does not work with my Boox Max Lumi. The nib that comes with the Max Lumi is more thin and would fall out of the Wacom pen. The Wacom pen as is does not register on the display of the Boox Max Lumi.
What an amazing video and so much work put into it!
I have bouth the jumbo norris but I wish I didn't. Would you recommend buying the Samsung S6 or do you think buying the HP ZBOOK nibs on the Jumbo norris will do the trick ?
Thanks :) as I showed in the video, you can't fit standard nibs into the Starter pens. It's not reliable and not recommended.
What a great guide! Hats off to you, sir.
Your review is so calming and knowledgable. So, I assume for Note Air, the remarkable 2 pen or Samsung S6 Lite is the best. Am I right? Thank you Voya!
Thank you :) I like it the best. Some users find it too thin, and you should also be aware that Remarkable is the only one that doesn't support the function of the eraser button. It is possible to install a hack, but I refrain from doing that, because every so often, people write to me with stories that their device would lock out, crash or just stop working after installing various hacks (last week alone I had 3 people write to me with such a question). The rest of the devices (except Papyr, of course) have full support of the eraser button.
@@MyDeepGuide Thank you Voya. I will try to use the stylus that came with Note Air as long as I can but after it gets damaged or wores off, I will use the Samsung S6 lite.
Thank you very much! I was waiting for this video. Now I can make my Note Air complete. :D
I like your review,yours is deep and thorough and Calming bubbly voice
As always, kudos to Voja and his outstanding videos.
I have both the Note Air and rM2. My third party stylus pens are the Staedtler Digital and Jumbo pens and the Samsung S6 Lite. I ordered the Marker Plus with my rM pre-order. It was $50 then. It’s a bit of a rip off at $110 now. The Marker and Marker Plus are ideal for the rM2 for the writing experience and the solid magnetic attachment. I see no reason to “upgrade” to a third party stylus for this tablet. I have used the Jumbo on the rM2. It has the same rubbery draggy feel as on the Note Air. The eraser is much better than the Marker Plus, but that alone is not enough reason to switch pens. In either case, if you need precise eraser control, you are better off using the software eraser.
I purchased my third party pens primarily for the Note Air. The Staedtler pens just feel a little too weird to me. That eerie quiet rubbery drag just doesn’t do it for me. Still the Jumbo eraser is excellent. The Samsung S6 Lite with rM nib is the best stylus-nib combo for the Note Air so far. The writing experience is nearly the same as the rM2 with its Marker. The magnetics are as good as the stock Note Air stylus. The Samsung is fairly secure against the tablet when it is in its case, but with out the case the pen falls off very easily. I have two basic cons with the Samsung. First, it is a very skinny form factor. If you have large thin hands like me, you may find it difficult or uncomfortable to use long term. Second and related to the first, the eraser button is hard to find and hard to use. The Samsung just doesn’t quite fit naturally in my hand. I have to contort my finger or thumb to get to the eraser button. The button also seems to have a fairly small sweet spot. If I don’t press it just right, instead of erasing, I am scribbling lines over what I want to erase. The eraser issue spoils my work flow. Still, combined with an rM nib, the Samsung out performs the cheap Note Air stylus.
Next up, the Lamy EMR and some HP nibs. I am willing to forego semi-secure magnetic attachments in favor of a stylus pen that truly fits my hand. Hopefully this is the ideal combo for me on my Note Air. These should arrive in a week or two.
How did the Lamy EMR & HP Nibs combo workout for you on The rM2?
Very interested in knowing, since I want to try the button and the pen looks amazing too!
@@dot5816 That combo is quite good for writing feel. Perhaps just a bit more paper-like than rM Marker with rM nib. I suppose that putting the HP nib in the rM Marker would have the same feel. Two cons for the Lamy are: 1) no magnetic attachment and 2) the eraser button doesn't work on rM2. The Lamy has a thicker barrel than the rM Marker. Yet the rM Marker is sufficiently thick to be very comfortable to use. The HP nibs are supposed to last longer than rM nibs.
I think the rM Markers are such an ideal companion to the rM2 that if you can find a good deal for the Markers, that's definitely the way to go. If you can afford paying top dollar for the rM Markers then you should do it. You won't be disappointed in feel and performance.
As for the Lamy, it's my backup stylus after the Samsung S6 Lite for my Note Air. Both have the HP nibs. I have the original Onyx screen protector on my Note Air. This is a good writing surface for the HP nibs, very much like the rM2.
@@starroger thank you so much!! And would you recommend the Lamy or Samsung Stylus for the rM2? I'm a University student and I take a lot of notes and draw a lot as a hobby!
@@dot5816 The eraser buttons on those styli do not work on rM2. You would have to use the eraser tool or back icon to erase or undo your last scribble or mark. I have not found a stylus that is superior to the Marker Plus, which is what I have for my rM2. It's the best combination of stylus and tablet for the rM line, but oh so pricey. The Lamy and Samsung S6 Lite are the best options for Boox tablets in my opinion. However, if you are considering the rM2 and want to save a little money on the rM Stylus, you should definitely consider the Marker without the eraser. It is about the same cost as the Lamy and Samsung S6 Lite, you have the same eraser function experience, and the magnetic attachment of the rM Markers to the rM2 tablet is much stronger and more secure than any other combination of tablets and styli. Also consider HP gray nibs. Voja and other reviewers like the writing feel of these nibs and they last longer than rM nibs.
Excellent review, as always. Subscribed! 👍
Hii. I dont really comment on videos but thank you so much for the useful information.
Quick question, as the hp zbook x2 nib has been discontinued, what would be the next best combination for my remarkable 2? Thanks in advance for your response. 💪
Also a follow up question, which Samsung stylus would be best to purchase at the moment
Great review! Revealing, with such great details! I have a couple of questions:
1) I just bought the Galaxy Tab S6 lite, with the S pen you like so much, but for me and my hand it is too thin. I was about to order Staedtler Jumbo, but after your video, I am opting for the Lamy Al-Star, for the shape it has in the fingers area, and the compatibility with various nibs.
But of course I want to keep the S pen option alive! Who knows, I might love it after all!
The HP nibs are almost nowhere to be found, so what alternatives would you suggest for the Tab S6 lite S pen? Bear in mind that I am a left hander writer (Math professor actually) so I tend to press the stylus harder. I am looking for nibs that won't scratch the tab's surface, but at the same time won't wear down too fast... Any suggestions?
2) Lamy is my goto anternative. I read that reMarkable nibs work great with it. What are your thoughts on alternative nibs for Lamy, again for a left handed writer on the pushy side? And again, besides the HP nibs, that are hard to find.
Thank you again for youre work! Keep it up!
Rm nibs and felt tip Boox nibs also work great with the Lamy :)
@@MyDeepGuide Thanks for confirming. Any suggestions for S6 pen alternatives, other than HP?
Hi Voya ! For the S pen if you add ddvk stylus hack it enables the button as eraser ! Great trick, the S pen is now for me really the best one for a reasonable price. Happy new Year and good health, looking forward on remarkable 2 news. BR
Man you are the best
I bought my first e-book reader nova 2 because of you and the amount of the honesty that I feel in your videos, and I absolutely love it, thanks a lot
My question is lamy EMR compatible with my device, cause in their website they just mention boox note and max2 ?
Thank you very much :) Yes, it is compatible :)
If you have the time I would love to see an updated video including the new iReader X-Pen Gen 3 emr pen. I'm really curious what your opinion of that pen is, I love all your videos and really trust your opinion on these things!
Now that the X2 nibs seemingly aren't available for purchase anywhere, do you have a second-favorite nib for the Remarkable?
Same question here
Same question
I bought the S6 pen based on this review, and have to say it did not feel right/comfortable for me. That's not a criticism of the review by any means, just a reminder that the right pen for the reviewer may not be the right pen for you (and to be clear, I think the reviewer did a great job of making this point throughout the video!). For me the Staedtler Jumbo was a much more comfortable experience, and that might be due to larger hand size, or some other preference.
I totally agree that the Jumbo is awesome for those who prefer bigger pens :) I love thinner ones, so Samsung suits me perfectly.
Great video! thank you so much!
I was curious to know which nibs fit the Remarkable 2 pro pen. The original needs are pretty weak, and I've used already 3 in about two months. I'm just looking for something a little more durable. Thank you!
Hey Voja! I recently picked up a Nova Air after watching your videos & I’m loving using it to journal and take notes each day.
Im looking to get some replacement nibs or a replacement pen for it and the Samsung S6 Lite pen looks great - could you confirm for me if it magnetizes to the side of the Nova Air well? That’s the last detail that has me holding off and looking at the new Boox Pro2 Pen instead.
Thank you so much!
I love the staedtler jumbo for its tip eraser. Tried Lamy but I hated fumbling for the eraser. Now if the staedtler would fit wacom nibs, or harder nibs - or if Lamy had tip eraser... gosh either of these would be a dream on my paper-like screen protector.
Thank you for this very thorough and helpful review ! Following your advice, I just ordered the Samsung pen and I was looking forward to trying it with the HP nibs, but I can't seem to find them on sale anywhere even after browsing the Internet for nearly an hour :( Do you think they're definetely "out of stock" ? In that case, what alternative(s) would you recommend ? The Remarkable nibs over the Samsung ones ? New nibs you hadn't tried at the time you recorded this video ? Thank you for your answer !
Unfortunately they have since been discontinued :(
@@MyDeepGuide Thanks for your quick answer ! Which alternative(s) is(are) best in your opinion (compatible w/ the Samsung pen) ? Have you ever tried the HP ZBook x360 nibs for Active Pen, or do you know if they are equivalent to the HP ones you are so fond of ? Thank you again !
Thanks Voja, such a great video as usual!
Thanks for the video !
Standard bic roll pen is the one I’m using everyday. I like the thiness of it.
The Lamy seems thick.
Would you have a recommandation of a pen that would be comparable to the simple bic ?
Fantastic review Voja. I’ve been waiting for this since I got my Note Air a couple of weeks ago. For the Samsung Pen, can you use the button as an eraser on the Note Air? I’ve found that erasing is a bit of a chore with the Note Air as I currently have to select the eraser, re-select the pen, and then minimize the shortcut tab. If you can’t use it as an eraser, I think you said the Lamy button can be used as an eraser.
Yes, it works as an eraser :) Thanks!
@@MyDeepGuide Awesome. Thanks!
Excellent video as always! Thanks so much for this review - I have been waiting on this to decide which to buy for my new note air. Got the Samsung pen, but can't seem to find the HP nibs anywhere. Starting wonder if they've been discontinued. Thinking I'll just go with the Lamy and get the reMarkable nibs. Cheers!
Hello and thank you for watching :) As far as I know, they haven't been discontinued, just sold out. Some people say they were able to find them at sources other than Amazon, so it's worth broadening the search.
Thanks for the deep guide! Truly well done. What do you think about the new Galaxy S7 pen? Is there much of a difference with the Galaxy S6 lite pen that you recommend?
Hi Voja, the work you do is spectacular.
I wanted to ask you about the standard Supernote pen, you didn't put it in the rating, is it because you don't consider it a good pen?
Thank you :) No, it's the same reason as the HOM pen, and they both feel and perform really really good, but have the same exact negatives. Also, at the time of making the video, I didn't have it, so I was unable to include it.
@@MyDeepGuide ah okay, thanks!
Newer Samsung pen models work on the boox devices? Do you something about that? Or there is something special about the s6 model specifically?
