Stylus, amPen Hybrid 3-in-1 Stylus for iPad Pro, iPad/2/3/4, iPad Air, iPad Mini 2/4, iPhone X,8,8Plus, Galaxy S8, S8 Plus, Galaxy Note 8, and Any Touchscreen Smartphone or Tablet - Silver

I have tried out a lot of pens trying to get bullet journaling down, but this pen seems to write better for me than any of the others.The mesh n the stylus has worn off when heavily used but I figured most do that and you can order spares.For me, pen>stylus.

Here's another good example of taking a first-rate product, adding features in response to the changing needs and requests of customers, then making subtle improvements to make prior users of the brand come back.The new  amPen Hybrid 3-in-1 Stylus  from TechMatte takes convenience and functionality higher than previous versions in a number of ways. It's listed as being useful with a number of iPad and iPhone devices, along with the Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy S4 and more, but from personal experience it's also excellent for use on the new  Kindle Fire HDX 7"  and the  Kindle Fire HD 8.9"  tablets. Will admit to being occasionally "tablet-challenged" with photo edits that I do on these, but this is an excellent solution for that issue.Prior experience with the earlier dual-purpose  amPen New Hybrid 2-in-1 Stylus  is what brought me back to buy this updated version with its improved features. Here are the subjective points that I've found so far.◆ Likes:+ Conductive fiber/rubber hybrid tip; offers exceptional responsiveness on the screen+ Uses readily-available Pilot G2 refills; far better than earlier versions+ Lightweight all-metal design; has a steel (not plastic) pen clip+ Fine-tip gel pen under cap; handy for paper note-taking when mobile+ Composite fiber/rubber soft tip protects your screen from scratches+ User-replaceable hybrid stylus tip (on the pen cap only)+ Very comfortable size; 5½-inches overall length, fits the hand well+ Packaged in a simple box; there's no clamshell to have to cut open+ Good pricing for an excellent product; 12-month replacement warranty◆ Dislikes:- None at all; better than prior versions◆ First Impressions:Like their other products, the amPen Hybrid 3-in-1 stylus come in a simple, attractive recyclable cardboard box. Slide the sleeve off and inside is the stylus/pen, one spare ink refill, and a simple instruction sheet.◆ In Use:As a stylus, this one is excellent. It offers smoother action than most rubber tipped stylus products as you access the screen on a tablet or smartphone, along with an increased level of sensitivity. The smoothness during actions like swiping the screen, clicking on apps and highlighting text shows up immediately, and using with the keyboard results in fewer errors. Personally found it to be excellent in use with photo editing apps on the Kindle Fire. The old way of "finger painting" while editing images becomes a thing of the past.The TechMatte engineers have made things very convenient for long-term use by making the conductive fiber/rubber hybrid tip on the pen cap end user-replaceable, and following the instruction sheet, it's easy to do. Just turn the original stylus tip that's mounted on the pen cap end counter-clockwise to remove it, then turn the replacement tip clockwise to mount it on the pen cap of the stylus. It's that simple. Replacement stylus tips can be found here:►  amPen New Hybrid Stylus Replacement Tip (5-Pack) Uncap the end with the clip and there's a decent fine-tip ink refill, which makes this new stylus quite good for double duty for taking notes on paper when needed. It's conventional 5½-inch length adds to the utility and smoothness in use over other 'stubby' stylus products, a frequent complaint among first-time users. But surprise here is that this new TechMatte stylus also takes the Pilot G2 gel ink refills:►  Pilot G2 Gel Ink Refill, 2-Pack This excellent and readily available refill is available in black, blue and other colors, and with tip widths ranging from bold (1.0mm) to ultra-fine (0.38mm), you can customize this stylus/pen to fit your own needs. You'll have a gel pen that writes beautifully, and as stated before and advised by many, a pen is only as good as its refill.◆ Summary:This new  amPen Hybrid 3-in-1 Stylus  in silver became my new favorite within minutes, and enough so that the day after receiving it, I bought the  amPen Hybrid 3-in-1 Stylus (Black)  as a backup to go in my briefcase. Having easily replaceable hybrid stylus replacement tips helps, and the readily-available Pilot G2 refills makes these true 5-star products at a reasonable price. It's an example of product refinement at its best.JW ▪ 1/22/2014

I am here purchasing a replacement for my last amPen Hybrid 3-in-1 stylus. The stylus includes an internal pen which accepts Pentel Pilot G2 refills, and I use various models of G2 pen regularly, so this is a great feature for me. Because it is also a pen, this stylus must have a cap for the pen. The mechanism which snaps the cap into place is a piece of plastic which is permanently lodged in the cap. On my last amPen, this plastic catch broke off, leaving the stylus virtually unusable since the pen became uncappable.It will be obvious to everyone that the amPen Hybrid 3-in-1 stylus has two stylus tips, a large one and a small one, This is an excellent feature, as I use both for various purposes. Another problem with the amPen is that there are replacements available for the large stylus point, but – to my knowledge – no replacement for the small point, (In fact, the small tip doesn’t even seem to be removable.)The stylus tips, sadly, wear out quite rapidly. The tips are covered with a fiber mesh; when these fibers wear through, the rubber underneath does not function as a capacitive pointer, so the stylus becomes useless. I wear out the two tips at about an even rate, and I don’t like the idea of replacing the large end and then having a crippled stylus with only one usable end, so I end up trashing the unit once the fibers have worn through rather than availing myself of replacement tips,The tips wear so fast that I have never had to replace the ink cartridge in one of these amPens.In spite of its drawbacks, the amPen Hybrid 3-in-1 remains my favorite available stylus. In fact, I should really stockpile some since the model (like most good things) will surely disappear someday soon.If my readers here know of a superior stylus, please post a reply.

Not disappointed at all. I recommend it and would purchase it again.

Nice product, works well. Handy for work as it is a pen as well as a stylus. But, as others have said, you can't get replacement tips in the UK. Not a problem at the moment as the stylus is new, but I guess it will be in the bin once the tip wears out. I would have thought the sellers would have anticipated the need for replacement tips and stocked these as well.

Received next day with amazon prime.Looks impressive, feels good quality.There is a small end, a larger end and an actual pen with refill.I thought the ends maybe rubber, like some other stylus pens but it's not. It's more a material, a bit like gloves you can get with touch screen ends. It moves smoothly along the screen rather than rubber ones which can stick.The only issue I have is that the pen barrel is slightly too thick for my iPad case pen holder/slot so I just use the pen clip to clip onto it instead.

Love this stylus it is ideal for my usage and is more sensitive than others I have had previously. I also like the fact that I can change the tips. I haven't used the pen much yet but I like the idea and it's good that a refill is included.

I didn't like the pen, at first, but it has now settled down and writes smoothly. The double-sided stylus is great.
