Looking for Recommendations on Rubber Tips for My Stylus!

General Discussion

I’m on the hunt for a compatible rubber tip for my stylus that works well with my Android phone. I’ve been using my stylus for note-taking and drawing, but I’ve noticed that the rubber tip is wearing down, and I’m not sure where to find a replacement or what options are the best.

What I’ve Tried So Far

  1. Generic Rubber Tips: I picked up some generic rubber tips from a local store, but they just don’t provide the same precision and feel as the original.
  2. Online Reviews: I’ve read a couple of reviews online, but most of them seem pretty vague about compatibility and effectiveness.

My Requirements

  • Compatibility: I need something that’s guaranteed to work with my stylus model. I’m using a Samsung Galaxy Note, so it’s crucial that the tip is compatible with touch sensitivity.
  • Durability: I’m looking for a long-lasting option because I do a lot of drawing and writing.
  • Price Point: I prefer something reasonable; I don’t want to break the bank for just a rubber tip.

Questions for Everyone

  • What brands would you recommend?
  • Are there specific models I should look out for?
  • Does anyone have tips on what to avoid?

I appreciate any advice or recommendations you can share. Thanks in advance!

When choosing rubber tips for your stylus, consider factors like size and softness. A softer tip will provide better grip and more sensitivity on touch screens.

I agree! Additionally, compatibility with your device is crucial—make sure the rubber tip works with your screen type.

Great points! I’ve found that tips of different sizes can really change the way you draw or take notes. Test out a few before committing!

Absolutely, size matters! A larger tip provides a different feel and precision. I’ve got small hands, so I prefer the smaller tips.

Softness is really key for a more pleasurable writing experience. It’s all about your personal preference! Which do you think is softer, silicone or rubber?

I’d say silicone has the edge in terms of softness. However, rubber tips might last longer in the long run.

I think both materials have their pros and cons. Does anyone have a specific brand they would recommend for durability and softness?

I’ve had great luck with the Wacom rubber tips. They seem to be the sweet spot between softness and longevity.

Wacom tips are solid! I also enjoy using the Jot Pro tips—they’re compatible with a variety of devices and provide good responsiveness.

Don’t forget to think about your writing style! If you prefer sketching, a softer tip could help with fluidity.

That’s a really good point! I found that hard tips work better for technical drawing rather than freehand.

What about the colors? I wonder if they can affect visibility on screen in different lighting?

Haha, I just want a tip that won’t break the bank! Anyone else feel like some tips are just way overpriced? :joy:

For real! There are so many overpriced options, yet some of the budget ones work just as well. It’s frustrating!

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some good tips on how to maintain rubber tips for my stylus. Any recommendations?

I’ve had great luck with cleaning mine regularly with a soft, damp cloth. It really helps prevent wear and tear!

Absolutely, Sarah! I also recommend avoiding excessive pressure when using the stylus. It can extend the lifespan of the rubber tips significantly.

That’s a good point! I’ve noticed that lighter strokes really make a difference too.
