UPDATE: I am longer using these nibs because they caused my reMarkable Marker to fail after about five months. Details are available in this video: ruclips.net/video/uMcJA8ujr_g/видео.html
@BrandonKBoswell Check out the series (5 parts) called ""Are Metal Nibs safe..." on "The Seven Pens". He is a professional graphic artist who did a 6 month+ impressively-detailed experiment using graphics tablets and WACOM pens. He concluded that he could not detect any damage to his screen (parts 1 to 4), but in the last video (part 5) he realised that the pressure sensitivity was permanently damaged. His colleague also experienced the same problem. He goes into detail about how the metal stem material may be damaging the pressure sensor component inside the pen. This is the only place I have found that raises this issue. Until I learn more about this issue, I am recommending that my students DO NOT use a metal nib on their S pen.

I think that the damage to the pressure sensitivity occurs because the nib comes into contact with the magnet that generates the electromagnetic field. This contact causes wear on the magnet, which in turn prevents the sensor from detecting the magnetic field as effectively as before.
@@fred321cba My reMarkable Marker has now died due to this. It started as a pressure sensitivity issue and then about a week later the stylus no longer writes.
@@robertanderson2424 Yes, titanium lasts a very long time. These tips could last as long as the tablet itself. I use mine daily and I see no wear on the tip using a magnefying glass. I see no wear on the screen either.
@@BrandonKBoswell thanks Brandon . Your reviews are always helpful. I'll definitely be grabbing some. Wonder if they are compatible with your favourite pen?
Thank you for this. I am planning to get one for my note air 3c with apprehension. Replacing nibs in a month because I write all the time cost a lot of money. But because of possible screen scratches I am reluctant. But with this video, my fear is gone.
Just a personal experience. Have got my titanium nibs and actually scratched the Remarkable at some point for a reason. It just happened in a particular time-frame of a few days, not it doesn't happen anymore, but unfortunately has scratched the screen a little.
Just wondering. How does the writing experience of titanium nibs on the reMarkable compare to the HoM pen on the Supernote? I'm asking because I hear that the HoM on Supernote is more like writing with a pen on paper, which I would prefer to the pencil on paper feel of the reMarkable but since I've changed to titanium nibs on the reMarkable (after watching this video), I quite like it. Don't want to buy a Supernote and be disappointed but don't want to stick with the reMarkable and find I've missed out on a better writing experience... I realise you don't enjoy the Supernote feel.
@BrandonKBoswell, awesome video! 😃Did you use the rounded or pointy titanium nibs in the video? Amazon sells both, and I don't know which to buy for my Boox pen plus.
I don’t remember the video specifically, but I have both and both work well. I daily drive the rounded ones as those are the ones that are recommended for the reMarkable
Hi Brandon & everyone, thank you very much for your video! Would you reckon your tests apply also when used with a Tab X (I have had the NA3C for a couple of weeks and noticed the screen has a different texture - I have also noticed that you do not use any extra protecting films in your tests, unless I am mistaken contrary to pieces of advice you see on Reddit for instance... What is your take perhaps on the film protectors as well especially when using a TX perhaps as well...)? Thank you so much for your invaluable comments and tests! 🙂🙏
Hi Brandon! Some reviewers in Amazon report these titanium nibs damaged their Marker after a while. Do you know what other pens are compatible with them?
So far so good for me. I would just avoid taking them in and out unnecessarily. They are a more snug fit. From what I've seen they appear compatible with most stylus (other than the Kaweco, it just won't fit due to the narrower barrel).
Great video, thanks!! Does writing with a titanium nib on the rM2 sound significantly louder, in your opinion and experience? (Maybe too loud for a private work meeting for instance?) I mean the tappy sound of the nib hitting the screen.
I have followed you, Kit and Voja and I like you channels a lot. I see that Kit swears to Ultra C. Myself I have the reMarkable and a 12,9 iPad. The feel of quality and the e ink is very compelling to me. The leather folio with the reMarkable makes it very premium. How is the feel with the ultra C? I use the reMarkable at work, going to a lot of metnings and the reMarkable does not take away the personal one to one feeling of a PC in the meeting. I like that the ultra C can collaborate with office 365, but not the design and feel. (Without ever used a ultra C) What is RUclips thoughts?
I would say you need to figure out the time and scenario you would use the Tab Ultra C, without that I can't recommend buying it if you already have a reMarkable. I think the Ultra C can make a lot of sense for someone who is trying to avoid owning an iPad and a reMarkable and is willing to make some tradeoffs to make that happen.
Hi Brandon. Just wondering if you are still using these nibs on your Boox device and if you have seen any longer term affects on the screen? I'm thinking of getting these for my Note Air 3C. Thanks 👍
Hi Is it possible to get titanium nips for the Kaweco? I had an interesting (to me) experience, and rather wonky I swapped the Lamy nips from the standard to the POM which felt better but the weird part, it made the Kaweco feel better 🙄 I know this sounds crazy but comparatively speaking it did. 😂
I'm personally curious how the HoM(or any of the SN pens) on the reMarkable, and how the ceramic tips affect the screen surface. I really want to just buy their EMR pen refill thing and use ANY pen's body as an EMR pen. Only worried about the long term effects of using the ceramic tips
Thanks for doing this but guys, it’s a matter of physics and chemistry -titanium WILL eventually scratch and damage the surface of your glass screen. In engineering there is something called the Mohrs scale of hardness. Glass is 5 and titanium is 6. It’s not a question of if, but when it will cause damage. People saying oh, I have been using it for x months and all good’….etc sooner or later it will eventually cause damage. Person A could be pressing slightly lighter than person B for instance, person B would see damage say after 4 months and person A after 6 months for example. It’s why train wheels are intentionally made softer than the tracks that they ride on as it’s easier to replace them vs hundreds of miles of tracks. Ceramics can be even worse! Certain compounds can be almost twice the hardness rating, up to 9 on the scale vs 5 for glass. It’s a trade off, using cardboard nibs on glass. If you don’t press so hard you can make them last longer. Some people report up to 6 months and even more on one nib. Small price to pay, I think… Manufacturers in China will make them (ceramic and titanium nibs) because people will buy them, simple economics 😊
Your physics are on point, but in practice under normal circumstances it’s not proving to be a major factor. What is proving to be a major factor is the wear on the internals of the stylus itself.
Hi, thank you for the video. Can you try nib from remarkable (original) pen in supernote pen heart of metal? Thank you. I would like to order heart of metal pen because I like it.

no longer*
Why is everyone talking about screen damage? This is not the issue. The issue is "Does the tip cause long-term damage to pressure sensitivity?"
Interesting. Where can I learn more about this?

Have been using these tips for over 2 months on both the Boox Ultra and the RM2. No problems whatsoever.
Is Titanium supposed to last a lot longer or something
@@robertanderson2424 Yes, titanium lasts a very long time. These tips could last as long as the tablet itself. I use mine daily and I see no wear on the tip using a magnefying glass. I see no wear on the screen either.
Early signs are you shouldn’t have to replace them

The writing sound is louder than the cardboard tips, but not enough to be distracting. I don't find that it has a noticeable tap sound on the screen.

Great video! I have the Kaveco. Can we get titanium nibs for it?
AFAIK, I don't think so ;(. The barrel on the Kaweco is a bit narrower and these nibs won't fit in it.
Hi Brandon. Just wondering if you are still using these nibs on your Boox device and if you have seen any longer term affects on the screen? I'm thinking of getting these for my Note Air 3C. Thanks 👍
Still using them. I love them. No issues to report thus far.
@@BrandonKBoswell Great, thank you!
What about trying the cermic HOM pen
Hi Brandon! Thanks for this amazing video. Do you have a link for titanium nibs for Standard pen of BooX Note Air 3C tablet?
Hi
Is it possible to get titanium nips for the Kaweco?
I had an interesting (to me) experience, and rather wonky I swapped the Lamy nips from the standard to the POM which felt better but the weird part, it made the Kaweco feel better 🙄 I know this sounds crazy but comparatively speaking it did. 😂
I don’t think they are going to fit in the small barrel of the Kaweco ;(
Just tested and I can confirm that the tip wobbles because it doesn’t seat fully into the barrel
@@BrandonKBoswell thanks 🙏
I might try in my Safari
Thanks for this great video! 👍
Glad you liked it!
I always wipe screen and n+b and write softly.
Hi Brandon, can you please also try ceramic nibs, please?
Are there specific ones you’re looking at?
HOM2
Hi! Thank you for video! Do you know if this nibs is suitable for samsung s-pen?
You’re very welcome. Yes it does. Using the Boox style tip in it current.
Helpful ty
Have u tried supernote metal pen on remarkable by chance
I have, but I would recommend these instead. The Supernote tip is likely to scratch the reMarkable.
@@BrandonKBoswell thank you for the clarification appreciated
Does tilt support still work with these nibs?
Yes

I haven’t tried it yet, but I will give it a shot. My hunch is the ceramic would be more likely to scratch the screen.
