[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RJM77:
i'm an architect, and in the 1.5 weeks i've had the Prime and a stylus i'm realizing how useful of a tool it can be; sketching, marking up photos from job sites, etc.

the update this past weekend has definitely improved stylus input with my jot pro.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ktulu0421:
What note taking software are you guys using with the jot pro? super note?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rockstatus90:
Haven't got my Prime yet (tomorrow) but I asked the same question...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1395587

Seems SuperNote, Quill and WritePad Stylus are the best...

I plan on taking notes from meetings, extensive notes....and minor sketches, and freehand designing...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drstk:
with the recent firmware update. my targus stylus actually works now! works with the skinomi screen protector.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Seirÿu:
Can anyone provide links for the jotpro and any other that work really well...

And does anyone have a jotpro and any other's to compare against after the firmware update?

I saw http://www.amazon.com/BoxWave-Slimline-Capacitive-Transformer-Stylus/dp/tech-data/B006GM57MC

Does this worth even looking at/trying out? (For $10, it's cheap enough but I don't wanna waste my time).

I really wanna use this for notes. Both for classes (math/econ, kb for most other classes) and meetings. And some sketching... among other things.

Thanks in advance!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] b0nza1:
I would prefer a smaller nib. Really need some way to write notes other than my finger thats for sure...lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zephyrot:
With latest patch (.21) Im sure they changed the filter value for the Screen, since my Stylus stoped working correctly, the lines are straighter, but that is cause the filter is stronger now.

I had to change my TouchScreen Tune settings a bit after new patch, and it is working better now as before.

you need to play a bit with settings to get good results.

Here are my settings:

- Min movement amount: 0

- Disable movement filtering: checked

- Touch sensitivity: 30

- Palm detection: 0 (recommended for stylus writting).

then go to the menu (top-right) button, tap on "Set filter off value" and set it to 0.

and that's it, super awesome Stylus performance on .21 :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] briian_:
Are there any new recommended settings that people would like to share for touchscreentune for the .28 update?

I've tried playing around with the settings on a friend's stylus, can't really get it to a point I'm satisfied with it.

Also, just to ask another typical question:

Bamboo or Adonit Jot Pro?

Any input would be much appreciated.

Cheers!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DeBoX:
dont know about the settings, but stylus wise, Adonit Jot all the way.

I have both the bamboo and adonit, check out the mini review l wrote

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] briian_:
Thanks for that DeBoX!

Would definitely consider it! As I'm trying to use the stylus to annotate the lecture notes during lectures, I'm hoping that there are some settings recommended so that the writing on apps like ezpdf (direct annotation) are legible.

Any feedback on the settings of Touchscreen Tune from users would great!

Cheers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nefariouss:
Not to be the negative nelly but in my opinion note taking via stylus with the prime is a horrendous experience. I've given up on it. Even with the fancy stylus and touchscreen tune.

Seriously thinking about the Note 10.1 for note taking and annotating pdf files.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gary_O:
JotPro: - great for writing

http://adonit.net/product/jot-pro/

iFaraday: - great for drawing (the Artist version with firm dome)

Both have worked well on the Prime before and after the recent firmware updates.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] oasis9389:
somenoe asked about note apps.. i compared a bunch including the supernote.. for me, i chose 'freenote' has a lot of great features and it works and its free.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Seirÿu:
Thanks Gary!

I read quite a few reviews about the jot having issues for using in classes and/or meetings, do to a clicking sound it makes... have you experienced this? is this something only going on with the Jot or the Jot-Pro as well? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, I'm pretty much asking based off others here-says off amazon reviews and such since I haven't gotten to hold one myself yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ktulu0421:
I got one of this for taking notes in meetings/class....LOVE IT! no clicking, no issues, much better then the bamboo one I got. You can pick it up at a local best buy too ( I know, im pissed at em too but theyre the better of all electronic places in my town ).

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
just got this and while I am somewhat satisfied I feel like it would be so much better if the tip was more precise with a small end piece too big if you ask me too much touches the screen which means you have to apply too much pressure..... anyone else have one of these?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] addisdar:
I have the Jot-Pro, awesome stylus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] oasis9389:
guys I got the bamboo today, using the first time since the update and its amazing 100x better than jot pro. was using that till today, bamboo is faster than writing on paper the jotpro is going back
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] copland007:
yes the jot & jot pro will make a little clunk noise every time you make contact with the screen, it's a hard flat disc making contact with the screen instead of a soft cushion end like others. I don't use it in small/quiet meetings because of it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] broken1i:
Guys can any of you link me to the bamboo stylus?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] oasis9389:
its on the first page.. its 8.99 on amazon and it literally blows the jot pro away after the update on the prime.. i can take notes faster than i can on paper. super smooth and no clunky disc
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
Interesting. Why is it better? Could you show some comparison of written text by both styluses? With such fat ending I would think it would be hard to write small letter, right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
anyone try using one of these?

http://www.buy.com/pr/product.aspx?sku=205880623&sellerid=15743316

they are really thin, so i'm not sure of the grip but at the same time the point is much smaller then anything else mentioned in this thread, i went to BB yesterday to pick one up and saw these, and decided to hold off until i spoke with you guys and got your thoughts.

you guys think the point on these would be too fine? you get 5 of them for $2 just incase if you lose one, lol, good price and yeah sure it feels cheap, but does it work well....or do you guy think i need to be the test pig on this one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
I doubt that those are capacitive tips, so they wouldn't work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] forceOnature:
I've been disappointed by stylus performance on the Prime so far. I've used both the Jot Pro and the AYL Slim Capacitive iPad styli with unsatisfactory results. The Prime is running 8.8.3.33 firmware.

The AYL stylus was better than the jot pro but it still does not write like a pen on paper. I have particular difficulty drawing circular shapes in letter size like "e" and "o". There is a lag in sensing the position of the stylus that causes the circle to be drawn much smaller than you actually draw it. To correct this I have to write much slower than I would want to.

I am still waiting for the New Trent micro knit stylus to arrive so I can try it but I am not expecting too much improvement at this point.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
thanks for that, and got a cool little lesson on how they work after a bit of a search.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
I didn't want to presume, so I'm glad you learned a little something.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xXxDieselxXx:
I have the Jot Pro and the iFaraday Artist.

In my opinion the Jot Pro is a magnificent engineering marvel but the iFaraday is the one stylus I use the most because it's very good at drawing, navigating, etc.

So for me I use the iFaraday for every day tasks and Jot Pro when I want to get serious with projects where detailed drawing is needed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Anyone else with Trent micro knit have opinion ? wish the tip was more precise I think it would be much better
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xdaspyder:
I have the jot and I'm also disappointed. Its a little clunky and it is difficult to tap buttons.

What's the best for writing and marking up pdfs with accuracy? I don't want one too thick.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
i just went out and bought the targus one.....it sucks imo, need far to much pressure to get it to draw and the surface area is far to large, i can't get more then 1/2 on a tablet page, i'll be returning this for something else.

i'm on the most current firmware as well...like i said in previous posts, this is my first stylus, so i'm not quite sure what my expectations should be, i want as close to an actual pen as i can get........this isn't cutting it for me, personally.

not knocking the people who have it and like it, this is just my impressions with limited experience in styluses .

i'm using sketchbook pro by Autodesk makers of autocad, so i assume it's a good program ......

i'll keep checking them out till i find a good one, i'm doing nothing more then going off your suggestions forum people, as like i said i don't know jack about these, at least enough to make an intelligent decision, lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tbns:
I just ordered the BoxWave capacitive stylus:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0008GL758/

Keeping my fingers crossed that it will work well for note taking, and pdf markup.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JCreations:
I just received my Jot Pro. The styles feels very nice due to the materials and weight. The tip works reasonable and you can aim very well with it. The magnet doesn't work though with the Prime.

For drawing with Sketchbook it's quite good. It doesn't feel just as responsive as with your finger, but it is much more accurate.

However it doesn't work for me for note taking, but this might be software related. I only tried with the stock Supernote program. My handwriting with conventional paper is a bit sloppy and it only get worse on the tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adampdx:
I just picked up the Nataal stylus and it's not so bad. I've never used a stylus before, so I have nothing to compare it to. It works better than my finger using Supernote, but on Sketch Book Mobile it seems that I have to press harder and there a lag. That might just be SBM because I get the same effect with my finger, but it seems more exaggerated with the stylus.

It's $7.45 on Amazon right now and is eligible for super saver shipping. I'm happy with it for a first experiment with a stylus.

Nataal Premium Stylus
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justwonder:
I just picked up Targus stylus, it's ok for the most part but most of the time I accidently hit the link instead of scroll up, down, left or right...

Can anyone recommend any stylus that I can navigate home screen or website smoothly? I use it as anti finger print, so no other special feature needed..

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] punitenshu:
Speaking of PDF markup, is there a program that works well with the stylus? I've got Repligo and it's freehand markup with either of my two iFaradays is pathetic in comparison to how well they do with Sketchbook, SuperNote, and AntiPaper.

It can barely choke out a continuous line reliably, much less a meaningful doodle.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xXxDieselxXx:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mau5trap:
Just a quick question: Are there any styluses out there that have a rubber cone tip? e.g. similar to a ball point pen? Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Don't see it & searching shows a $25 version so can you provide a direct link to the exact one you like and use and if that is the one TONS of users report the nub tip breaks in about 2-2.5 weeks in both best buys & Amazons reviews & the tip is not covered by warranty.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tbns:
That's a shame about Repligo. I haven't found any really good pdf programs that allow annotation and that are geared towards researchers.

So the best one for hand written notes is Jot? I want one for my grad school classes
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JCreations:
I have the Jot. Personally i prefer traditional pen and paper better then writing on the tablet. You just can't write as fast and as small on a tablet. Or combine the keyboard with a stylus, so you can use the stylus to draw whatever you need.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] copland007:
i have tried a lot, and the combination that i came up with is the jot pro with antipaper notes. the zoomed in writing line in antipaper notes combined with the accuracy of the jot pro allows me to write almost as fast and almost as legible as pen & paper.

jot pro

I just got my jot pro in. I didn't mind it, seemed to work well but after the ics update it seems to be horrible. I want to try others but all I see are reviews about rubber tips falling off too easily. Has anyone else noticed a difference with the ics update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
Just bought a targus stylus from office max. it SUCKS!

I am worried that all styluses will work the same. I need to hand write notes and make accurate graphs, close to what I could get with pen and paper. But this is no where even remotely close to what I can do on paper. Are there any apps that don't have serious lag and are actually responsive to the stylus's touch? Or is this tablet just not capable of accuracy and speed like that
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
that was my experience with that stylus, my program seems good though, no lag , smooth, and lots of options, that said, i'm right there with you. i want a pen for my tablet, not a crayon... and even playing with line thicknesses don't cut it, i need to see where the point is, not just guess it's the middle of the big rubber ball..i posted a few posts up. good luck and let us know if you find something that is precise enough for an actuate sketch
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
I wonder if the ICS update made a difference, I never had a chance to try a stylus before the update.

I honestly think that my Jot Pro is just screwed up. There's times when it won't even work at all. Probably going to send it back for another or try a different stylus.

TBNS - I'm a grad student and I used Repligo on my Epic4G at the end of the last semester and it was worth the investment. Awesome app to annotate and comment on PDF files which save and translate exactly onto the computer. Even if you can't use a stylus I would say that Repligo is worth the $5 if you are going to be using your tablet for research and reading. PM me and I can send you a PDF that I marked up on my phone as a sample of what you can do.

Is anyone having issues w/ the stylus post-ICS update? I know it hasn't even been 24 hours yet but I was wondering...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tbns:
Just an update on my post above.

Got the stylus in today. Used it about 2 minutes max, and then put it back in the box for a return :(. My finger is more precise than the stylus. For example, if I try and use the stylus to write a quick 'e', it makes it look like a 'c' because it's not sensitive enough to pick up the loop movement. My finger works fine. I'm pretty disappointed about it; I might have to wait and see if a more precise type of stylus comes out. The tip is way too large and just doesn't work well for writing.

Thanks man. Yeah, I got Repligo and also ezPDF. Great annotation software that I'll definitely end up using; but obviously not meant to be a citation/pdf library organizer (like EndNote, Papers for iOS, or Mendeley). There is an unofficial Mendeley client which is OK, and will let me open PDFs in whatever PDF program I want. That might be the way I go with this.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] punitenshu:
I second Repligo as being a good PDF viewer/annotator in all aspects other than freehand markup. Worlds better than the native garbage.

I'm not familiar with Mendeley. Does it play nice with existing EndNote libraries? At the moment I'm just remote logging in to my home PC when I need to access EndNote or use CWYW in MS Word. Any software support cite-while-you-write in Android yet?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robnix:
I've noticed a big difference since the update. I have both the Jot Pro and the New Trent Styli, and both are laggy and slow. Disappointing because the New Trent stylus was working great before hand.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gaetawoo:
has ANYONE noticed that when they draw lines, they aren't straight but bumpy? especially diagonal ones... is my digitizer screwed up? seems lo-res. I've tried the following stylii: amazon, new trent, ayl, boxway, and will be getting a griffin soon. the ayl and boxwave are HORRIBLE. the amazon and new trent work really well. the new trent is shorter but glides slightly smoother. the amazon is longer but less smooth. hard to say which is better. i wish the trent was longer!!

so, on my galaxy nexus, the lines i draw are ultra smooth. i went to best buy and on the Xoom, Thrive, and TF101, the lines were also smooth. Though, on the TF101 the slower i drew diagonally, the more bumpy it got even though my path was straight. That didn't happen on the other two.

So is my Prime not good, are they all not good? or.. what?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] punitenshu:
After the ICS update the performance of my iFaraday styli have improved in SuperNote, AntiPaper, and Repligo.

Prior to ICS the initial stroke was frequently missed and drawing smallish loops of any sort was difficult. That's improved much for me. Drawing a straight line in Repligo usually ended up with a bunch of separate streaks, but now results in a single straight line. I can also produce legible Japanese characters in SuperNote now, which I couldn't before.

So, from my perspective--much improved.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
Yes I noticed this. I can't draw straight diagonal lines, they are wavy
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SirAnkie:
This is the most common test of the touch quality of a display, check out this article. Many touch screens produce this same problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gaetawoo:

I have the iFaraday Artist stylus with the firm dome, and it works really well. I bought it mainly for sketching in Photoshop Touch and Sketchbook pro, but it works fairly well for taking notes in the Supernote app that came with the Transformer Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
I bought my Transformer Prime with hopes that I could use it to capture digital sketches and do some quick and dirty photo editing while away from my workstation. Applications like Photoshop Touch and Sketchbook Pro deliver much more accurate results from a stylus than from a finger. There is also the benefit that with a stylus, my hand isn't covering the area that I am trying to draw.

Even drawing mustaches on photos of your friends is easier with a stylus than with a finger, at least it is if you have fingers as thick as mine :)

Hi, I'm crossposting from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1441180

I'm the developer of Writepad Stylus. It seems that after my ICS update the touchscreen sensitivity is still bad, at least on my prime. Here's a screenshot comparison with the Transformer 1:

http://imgur.com/a/olhMe

I wrote those using the same stylus and with the same pressure / speed (as fast as I can write, basically). Note that the Prime is registering fewer touch events, and entirely missing out on some letters.

Other prime owners who say that it works fine for them: can you please pose screen shot?

The good news is that it's probably not an issue with hardware, but some software setting. There is a developer who fixed the touchscreen for Galaxy tab: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1336464. I'm hoping he can do the same for the Prime, or at least show us how to fix it.
