Active vs Capacitive Styluses for Drawing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.พ. 2017
- The perfect stylus for your tablet really depends on what you're using. Capacitive styluses generally work the same across different tablets or touchscreen devices. Digital styluses usually support only the OS and products they are made for.

Finally someone who's not using apple ipad
Yessss
😂😂🤣🤣🤣 you too fed up with over marketing of iPad?
palm rejection = wear a glove
drawing diagonals = rotate the paper 45 deg and draw.
vertical or horizontal fix = rotate paper 90 deg
Budget palm rejection = get towel and wrap around hand
permanent palm rejection : cut off the part of palm which touches your screen often.
@@Ashley-vr4qf cut off entire hand
Put pen on bloody arm
Put towel as a replacement hand
Ez palm rejection
Better option, ask the iPad nicely if he can draw for u
Better option - Don't draw at all ? 😂😂😂
And i'm here searching up how to make styluses.
Lol same XD
Same 😂
Yep
Handmade stylus is actually very good and works perfectly once you know how master it ..
Same 😂 last time i searched was over a year ago and now i remember why.. i think im just gonna wait until i can afford a proper working stylus
THERE ARE STYLUSES WITH A BRUSH TIP? WTH, I THOUGHT THAT WAS MY IDEA, AND IT BECAME TRUE A LONG TIME AGO?
Loop Is Dedz should have got a Patent
I thought that was my idea lol😂
It happens. Once I had thought there should be an in-ear earbud for earphones becoz flat earphones used to hurt. This was in 1998. And it became true when I grew up...
Scrolling through comments in the begining of the video and OMG THOSE ARE REAL?!?!
You're gonna be a successful stylus developer. Please send me one soon
Man thank you for doing your best to clear up this confusing mess. The stylus market is one of the most CONFUSED line of products I've ever seen. Trying to make a decision is soooo difficult for some reason
i'm still confused about what to buy
@@mcdongalemployee man honestly I am too, but after all the research I've done, I know the man has truly done his best to explain 😆😆😆 this is an absolutely terrible line of products that companies have very little interest in improving for some reason 😅
Man same, I wanted to get one for my phone and still have no idea what to get
@Roborav D Same
@@kaojaicam all I want is to figure out if a stylus is compatible with Ibis Paint X on my Oppo android because I wanna learn digital art😭
Why does this gotta be hard
Over 3 years later and I've found this very informative! There is not a lot of information about the terminology between the two types out there. Thank you very much for clarifying. This will help me find the right stylus for creating art. Cheers!
This was the most useful video i have seen about stylus pens, because it not only compares different products but also explains why they work this way.
I don't know about these things and now everything is clearer. I'm going to read the blog to understand it much better. 😊👍👍👍
This is one of the best, most informative tutorial reviews I have ever read or watched. Masterfully done, thank you!
very clear, concrete, practical advice -- thanks so much!
i bought a 4€ touchpen
_it was a pen_
That’s why I watch reviews first
Infected Animations **choking on my wheeze**
Rest in peice
I feel so bad for you...
Same 4 pound from eBay...
This has been one of THE MOST HELPFUL videos I've found online regarding the different stylus pens. Thank you for digging deep into the details of function and practicality for each pen type!
I love that you provide a document of this as well.
Thank you for taking the time to explain this stuff.
This is exactly the video I've been looking for! After using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 for the past 3 years, I've become used to have a stylus that just works without charging and is very accurate.
I just recently bought a Lenovo Yoga 6 and just found out the plethora of options before me. I so badly needed direction on which to look at. Thank you for this video.
if there's no palm rejection, use a glove
Too bad that'll be uncomfortable also actual advice the thinner the better although if they're too thin it won't reject your palm at all
@@bland9876 there's artist gloves specifically made for it. They are comfortable and designed for tablets that you want to use use your fingers for, but also want palm rejection
@@lemmontree6638 that's pretty cool
It's even easier to make a diy version of it if you can't afford the cheap ones.
@@bland9876 there’s special artist gloves :)
Thank you for your wonderful presentation I really enjoyed it, this video really helped me to decide what I needed and eliminated confusion.
Finally the quality content I have been searching all day. Thanks Man, for this amazing description.
I got Adonit Pixel for Christmas and I love it. I decided to take this styles because of comment conversation about it with you.
so THANKS!!!!
+KobaJ Jakob That's great 😁
Superb video. Even if it was 6 year old video for me, yet it cleared so many questions that I had. Thumbs up for the good work man. Much appreciated.
Thanks Teoh. You answered a lot of questions for me. I appreciate your experience about these pens.
+martynsnan Thank you 😊
thank you for your time spent on this product .. I now understand more
Excellent work. This was really helpful in choosing which products I should go with. Thanks 🙂
thank you so much for the information. It really helped me to decide what type of touch screens I should buy,
Congratulations and thanks for the precise information!!
Excellent review, thank you, very informative.
Wow, people are so rude and cynical!
Thank you for a very clear and easy to understand explanation for anyone less experienced with using styluses!
He gave some helpful info, but I don't understand why he often shows a pen and what it can do, then doesn't tell us the brand and model of the pen.
The Lenovo tablets/computers (ThinkPad 10, Yoga, X210t) usually come with Wacom digitizers (sometimes called Penabled), so I have been able to use the pen from the ThinkPad 10, the ThinkVision LT1423p and Wacom Bamboo Stylus Feel... and all Bamboo tablets pens (and older Graphire 3 pens) without an issue. So far, they can also use the standard Wacom drivers
+Quentin's Family Show Thanks for sharing. I've not used those before.
Thank you! This explained so much. Now I know what I am looking for
Great video; I learned a lot. Looking for a good writing type stylus so this video helped.
I actually watched the whole thing without pausing or skipping which is very rare 😅😂. Thank you so much for making this detailed comparison, I find your explanation very helpful & easy to understand without sounding obnoxious to those who are clueless on this sort of stuff. Excellent work 👌👍
Thank you for this very helpful review.
Thank you for this video it answered many of my questions
Soo... long story, short: I should have bought an IPad Pro
Maybe a drawing tab would be better
They have drawing tablets for androids if you have one
I actually found one in the lost in found & found out the ipad stylus has no pressure sensitivity soooooooo
@@ANlMOSlTY what? It should have pressure sensitivity?
@@Twollsy long story short my dumb-dumb ass didnt notice the case was messing up the screen XDDD
Thank Teoh....it was very useful..and informative
This was very educational. Thank you 🙂.
Very informative. Thank you. I just ordered the Capacitive Pen with the disk. I was worried that my tablet wont be able to use it. I'm at ease now. Thank you
Very helpful, thanks. I didn't know there were two versions of the Samsung tab A. That's very sly that they don't tell you.
Very useful video. Thanks.
Wait...I just bought a $1 stylus and I thought that it was a pen.
Lol Productions// Fart Heads lol... i buy a laser thar i randomly found in store and realized that it has stylus at the end....
how lucky lmao
🤦🏾♂️
Actually me too but i didn't see the rubber
Lol
Thanks for the explanation and the time bro
very informative and helpful
+Taynan Nataly Thanks 😁
Thanks for making the effort to make the text version of these videos. Videos make me sleepy. Appreciate it man.
Thank you, great video!
Useful information ,thanks
Thank u so much!! I learned a lot thru this video : )
wow.. thanks! I'm looking this wide comparison..
Excellent summary. Great communication foresight, e.g. when you used the ruler right after I thought "but his hand is shaking". I came here trying to figure out what I should get to replace my new Spectre x360 laptop's stylus, which is kind of junk. Unfortunately, I didn't get from this video technical information / specs that I need to look for to decide that. Still a great video.
+Shannon Massman Laptops touchscreens are tricky. I have used a capacitive stylus on a Dell touchscreen laptop and had broken lines.
Thank you. My HP x360 15T does indeed have an active display. The pen requires a AAAA battery, and digitizes with about 1/4" air gap. However, the default operation requires quite a bit of pressure to actually draw, which makes it really inconsistent, even completely unusable in any application that doesn't have pressure sensitivity. Even if I can solve this, it only has 255 pressure levels, so I suspect it will never truly deliver an intuitive tactile experience. I'm not certain if I can use other pens with this display though. Wish me luck.
Good job. Very useful review
From your review, I decided to buy EJ-PW700CBEGUJ but this model is old and it is sold out, especially in Europe. Do you know the upgraded model corresponding to this?
Thank you! I am interested in getting into art via my Samsung Galaxy S7 but had no idea what I was getting into!
This video was so helpful holy
Thank you for all information. God bless you
best ever explanation, thank you
Wow thank you!! the adonit is perfect for me because I draw on my phone (lack of money) thank you very much I didn't know there was an capacitive small tip stylus
How is it so far? I plan on buying it soon and I want to get ur review. I'm also about to use it on my phone
I’ve been drawing for so long now, But I’m not quite sure which one would be good for an artist who likes to draw on apps, and can easily glide across the screen. Also, something that the tip is less bulky. Overall, something that would give a great and comfortable result for art.
This dude hearts your comment but never tells u which one 2 get
Which tablet are you using? For Android, unless the tablet advertises pressure sensitivity, there will not be any pressure support. If so you can just get those disc tip styluses (Adonit Jot) which are more accurate compared to those smaller fine tip which usually has parallax. You can check out Adonit stylus reviews at www.parkablogs.com/tags/adonit
I thought you'd say *" Hello everyone this is your dailydose of internet "* lmao
Whatever the wooden one looks awesome! 💚
Exactly what i was looking for
Nice explanation
I have an capacitive pen, with a rubber tip and it is working really good!
im looking for a cheap stylus that's presice
Disk stylus or active stylus. Cons with disk stylus is you will loose the disks
That was so informative! Thank you very much! I was completely lost with so many different types of pens... Any tips on styluses for Lenovo IdeaPad? I think I like the active ones better
very helpful video, thank you
Thanks 😁
U r awsome ! Thank u 🙏💗💗💗
Great video, super informative!
For iPad (OS 14.8) which stylus pen do you recommend (iPad not for art at all, work only & mostly just as alternate to finger)? Thx!
I'm here searching for the perfect stylus for my samsung a7 tab coz unfortunately this tab doesn't support stylus.
But I still wanna buy that will work / compatible at least. I bought a cheap one cost me around $10. Its kinda working but not accurate & sometimes the lines are cut, thus my search continues. I wanna go for a bit expensive but I'm scared it wont be compatible putting my investment to waste. This is very helpful. Thank you!
Nice video! :)
By the way, which styluses do you recommend for RCA Voyager 3 that supports Android?
I searched active vs passive stylus on google and clicked on this video thinking that it probably is a tech channel but ohhh it's our lord and saviour Teoh. Thank you for the review 🤗 It is still helpful after 5 years
Thank you! I finally begin to understand what I didn't know that is actually very helpful in maximizing the use of my android tablet for more then just reading. I never really understood about different stylists and thought that trying to write or draw was just to cumbersome to bother with. Your explanations help me to want to try more and consider spending more money to do so a worthwhile investment.
Hopefully after this video you will know how difficult it is to find the perfect stylus.... well. I was there to begin with
Excellent video! Can you please do a review on the EasyPencil Pro from SwitchEasy?
I would like to know if they’re worth it or not! Thank you 💕
Plam rejection... use two pair of cotton gloves with the thumb and two fingers closest cutout.
Brains ! I like it !!
You don't really need to cut out the thumb and index if you don't get bothered by it
Love what your doing.
Thanks :-)
Just wanna say, you’d be a great teacher 😂 Everything I needed to know in one place lol
I got very comfused with all the styluses. do you have a good hard tip smooth universal active stylus around 30 dollars to recommend?
There's no universal active stylus. Only universal capacitive stylus. And it depends on what you want to do with the stylus. E.g. writing or drawing. For drawing, get Adonit Jot Pro, for writing Adonit Dash 2.
Teoh Yi Chie , thank you very much, are they palm rejected?
Teoh Yi Chie I found a universal active stylus for 5 dollars it works great!!!
TimeLapse King what's the name? Any link?
i bought an active stylus the other day for my iPad pro and Note 8 and it really works well with both of them . it even comes with a stylus pouch which wraps around your tablet, i am happy with it , here is the link , you may consider www.amazon.com/Android-Samsung-Notebooks-Adjustable-Rechargeable/dp/B073RFGV4C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506093362&sr=8-1&keywords=slim%2Bpro%2Bactive%2Bstylus&th=1
I love your reviews and you make the difference between capacitive stylus and active stylus easy to understand. My new laptop is the HP Envy x360 m6 and finding the righr stylus has been a pain since I am an artist myself. What do you sugfest or recommend for that particular laptop? Many thanks.
If it doesn't come with a stylus made for it, I guess you can try the Adonit Jot Pro (the one with the disc) if you're using it for drawing.
Actually on some phones you can use a 0.5mm automatic
pencil as capacitive stylus thanks to the sensitivity of the digitizer.
I just wear a gloves, it keeps my palm from interacting with the screen. If you don’t have gloves at the time, placing a folded up a paper towel under ur hand will do the same.
Super helpful...thanks for doing this video!
you're an excellent reviewer
Just a tip for the people who do not know this solution: If you don't have a palm rejection option or the one on your device is shit, just make shure your palm does not touch the screen by placing something between it, like a cloth. I always pull the sleeve of my shirt over my palm, works everytime on my acer switch.
I think buying an artist's glove will solve this problem.
Mon Siri-Utsahakul i thought i was the only one making this xd
Omg you help me so much,
Excellent info! I'm just now realizing how difficult it is to find a good fine point stylus for use with multiple devices. I love the SPen on my Galaxy Note 5 and am trying to find something comparable for my mom who has an iPhone 7 Plus and an older iPad Air (not the Air 2). Which would you recommend?
+GForceFitness1 If you need pressure sensitivity and palm rejection then it is the expensive Adonit Pixel. If not, check out Adonit Dash 3 or Adonit Snap. I have reviews for all of them.
For anyone Who wants palm rejection i have a solution put on a glove and use The stylus as normal :)
Search for Palm rejection gloves you can make it at home too.easy
Hi! Thank you for the explanation. Do You recommend some pen for android with pressure levels?
Only one I know of is Samsung S Pen that works on selected Samsung tablets.
what is the brand of that silver pen that worked on sumsung?
my samsung is glaxy 10 guess 2018 hope it works on it?
Hey Teoh, love your videos! Just wondering what pressure-sensitive capacitive stylus you used in this video at about 13:00? I've been looking for one that will work on Android, however all the stylii I've seen are Ipad only. I read that some capacitive stylus use Blutooth to communicate the pressure...
That's the Samsung TabPro stylus. Some capacitive styluses do use Bluetooth to communicate pressure because the screen has no digitizer to detect pressure.
Thanks for your reply! :) Was half hoping there was finally an android stylus for non-digitizer tablets, like on the old ipads via bluetooth. I guess I'll just have to get another tablet afterall. Looking forward to more of your product views!
So how to get the pressure sensitivity on capacitive screen? Which pen to buy? I'm cool with Bluetooth pen.
Agus Sugianto ok
Pen and paper is still number 1.
Ever and always
Yes I too love the undo whenever I mess up..... Oh wait........

I sold my MacBook for an iPad. I needed a tablet for study and portability. I was confused after my decision. I used my iPad for a week or so but still I was double minded. But after buying a rubber tipped stylus the other day, I am quite hooked to my iPad now. I am not confused anymore about selling my MacBook. I mean to say is it is so convenient to use iPad with a stylus than using your fingers all the time. The typing feels so easy. It’s just a different and exciting experience altogether. I have Joyroom DR01 (rubber tipped) Passive Capacitive Stylus. The only gripe I have with it is the grip, it’s not that comfortable to hold. I am now looking for a rubber tipped stylus which is comfortable to hold. Can you please tell me what’s the name of the last one to the right most side in the start of the video? And can you or anyone please recommend any good brand rubber tipped stylus? I don’t use it for drawing at all. Just for touch, typing and occasional notes.
My mom just bought a set of stylus for RM 10 and I thought it won't work like the other styluses I used before but this works
(there were like 12 styluses and the stylus is the rubber tip)
: 0
.
The right-click could almost sell me on an active stylus (which I didn't know existed), let alone 'eraser mode'. The preview-cursor is both awesome and kinda annoying looking, I can't decide.
.
I was just trying to find a fine-tip stylus because as you note @ 4:40 the stylus tip often blocks my vision of the area I'm trying to work on, and got overwhelmed with the sheer variety of options when I found your video.
.
As I finished typing ^ the above, you got to the pdonut part, and the disc-tip stylus = YES! I *knew* someone had to be the same kind of nerd as me (but more educated and experienced) and would want to solve this problem so other frustrated nerds could benefit from their troubleshooting!
.
Thank you for this clear and detailed but also well-paced (not slow!) video! I sure hope you didn't spend too much on these products, but that you got to borrow them or they were sent to you for review. But if you took the hit to your wallet, I am even more awed and grateful for your sacrifice!

(oops! typo)
To my understanding
- Active Stylus will have a cursor when in close proximity to supported screen. Like that 3:05
- Capacitive Stylus is rubber tipped but there is also capacitive stylus with pointy ballpoint like tip and usually has disc, like in 5:41
- Now this 3rd type is what confused me , an ACTIVE CAPACITIVE STYLUS, it has rechargeable battery too. Is it more sensitive and easier to register on the screen ? or what ? I don't understand this one, I found quite a lot of this in online stores and it's quite expensive.
I am currently using capacitive stylus with pointy tip with disc like in 5:41 for playing Nintendo DS emulator (Drastic), but it's not very sensitive sometimes it doesn't register the tap, but it is not that bad I can even use it for playing Trauma Center, the surgeon game on DS and do surgery using this stylus, it's just sometimes it won't register so I can't aim for better rank when racing against time doing the surgery. I hope it's usable for later chapter with harder and time critical missions
Funny thing when I was playing the real DS back in the days, I often used my finger nail to tap, but now that I use emulator+android where finger is the main supported touch input , I miss the use of stylus. Using stylus is much more accurate than finger. and it can pinpoint tap to a very small area on the screen like maybe 3mm x 3mm maybe even less. Both stylus and finger supported should be made more common and cheap, it's the best of both world.
i may be a little late but the 3rd type of capacitive stylus the one with the battery uses the battery power to generate an electric field in the tip to fool the device into thinking a finger is on the screen which allows it to have a fine tip and no disk
Thanks for the very helpful video, did you try any kind of stylus on a standard touch screen laptop? I'm looking at the 2017 version of the dell xps 15 inch touch screen and I'm wondering if there is a stylus that would work well on it. Any recommendations?
+Bob Whiteside Touch screen laptops (not those foldable 2-in-1) may not work well with stylus. There might be broken lines when drawing with stylus. That's because they are design for touch and tap. I've used a stylus on XPS and had that broken line issue.
Does anyone have stylus recommendations for a touch screen chromebook laptop? I need a fine point stylus for art
Valerie Martinez same
So I have one of those fine point capacitive styluses with the clear disc, and I don’t know if it’s just the pen I bought or if it’s me, but it stopped working sooo quickly! Within a few hours, it won’t work properly at all, but it was working just fine when I first got it. Please, I need help! Am I pushing it too hard or something? I just don’t get why it wore out so fast, any help would be appreciated :,(
thanks dude
What is the name/make of the last capacitive stylus you used, the very dark grey/black one? It seems to do exactly what I am looking for, as it appears my HP Envy x360 does NOT support a pen. What is a rough price also, please? Thanks.
Thank you.
Hi. I have a question.
I love drawing on my phone and I already have a cheap stylus pen with a rubber tip for drawing but it’s not that good!
Could you recommend me a good stylus pen for drawing?
Not too expensive.
Could you also tell me if I should have a screen protector on if I’m gonna use the stylus pen you recommend me?
Thanks, sick vid!
The ones with the disc tip would be most accurate. The fine tip ones that run on batteries... I find that often they have slight misalignment depending on how you hold the pen.
Teoh Yi Chie thanks!
Will it scratch my screen?
Do I need a screen protector?
@@clowny8812 It's not going to scratch. All these tips are plastic
Teoh Yi Chie thanks for the reply😅
Not sure if you're seeing this after three years but is the one with disc will break? And will it scratch my screen? Can I unattach it? (Not the one with a rubber thing thing in the other video but in this video which is the common ones)
