Is there an advantage to using these instead of rubber tips? I have a Samsung Galaxy S5, which is better?

Hi Carol! Fiber tipped pens are known to be a tad bit more responsive than rubber tips, that is the main difference. As a few others have mentioned, you will not have the "squeaky" or "sticky" problem with the fiber as well. While many customers are very pleased with our rubber tipped pens, I believe these would suit you very well :) Please note that these are our longest pens (7.3") and we DO offer them in shorter lengths, if that is what you prefer (5.3" is about that of a standard pen). If there's anything else I can help you with, please let me know! I can be contacted directly here:

The microfiber prevents the wearing of the coating on the rubber tips, I use mine for sketching on a drawing app and have found its much much better than the rubber. I'd really like to see one of these in a finer tip. I use for IPad, Kindle Fire HD and a cheap LG touch phone. Works break across the board.

I like the smoothness of these and they don't leave rubber streaks on the screen, my only problem with them is they seem to wear quickly there is a rubber tip underneath though. I on the other hand am on my iPad from 10-12 hrs a day, that may contribute to the wear problem a little bit! They do not leave any fuzzies behind contrary to public belief. I really like them. Thanks for asking. Peace, Heidrun

I use mine mostly on iPad. The rubber tips cause more friction than the fiber tip. The extra length on these is better for me. They seem effortless to use.

As others have said, this type of tip seems to work more smoothly than the rubber ones. I use it on a Kindle Fire HD 8.9.

I have no idea, but the little stylus tips work great. Might be to secure electronics cords instead of twist-ties or rubber bands?

my experience with stylus is not good. It works perfectly with finger but not with my stylus (I have used both rubber end and apex fine point).

Rubber tip. No drag. I found it to be similar to using my finger, except it's a bit more accurate.Hope this helps.

Absolutely. The tip is a soft rubber. Its easy to hold. Its very good for any touch screen work

I would say yes. They have soft tips. And work very well with my Droid,and ipad

yes the product is great and the replacement rubber tips are better and doesn't waist as fast that's what i like about it!

No Any rubber tipped pen should work. I have cheap ones from Walmart but really never use it. JFYI you can scroll side ways with this monitor while looking at you photos. Pretty cool!

I have had no issue of the kind so far. There is no rubber tip underneath what you call the micro fiber tip. Actually, the tip is highly polished steel mesh, which is quite strong and actually hollow "inside."

Mike, the stylus comes with both rubber/silicon tips and plastic tips. mine has a rubber tip installed in it already, and the little baggy has three more rubber tips and also two plastic tips...so 6 total...and the tool to swap them out.

Actually, with a screen protector, you should be safe. However, I've found a simple rubber tipped stylus -- a give-away item from my local credit union -- actually works better! Whoda thunk?

They work great on mine... They work great on all my touch pads. Definitely get the multipack as when the rubber tip gets warm it does not glide as smoothly but if you switch back and forth every few hours or you aren't on iPad or iPhone a lot no need to switch..... Don't know what I did before these!

Sorry, I have an iPad. But I love these. I have had the rubber tip ones, and found them not very sensitive

I'm not sure (no pun intended) what qualifies as "better", I believe they are pretty much the same (thinking of foam design and density). The real advantage is that the Shure tips are intended for Shure products, and I have had great luck with them. Fit, both in your ear and on the device is the key to great sound, at truth be told, these are the cheap part, but in short I think they are more the same than different. I hope that helps.

NO, we tried it on the iPad and it wouldn't even work on my Samsung Galaxy S3 so I returned it. The tip was very hard.

Rubber tip is big enough that I've never scratched the screen. I suppose if you pressed hard enough or used the side of the stylus it might be possible, but I think it is very unlikely to scratch the screen with these items.

No. The rubber tip is soft, flexible like skin. My touch screens easily and accurately respond to it, using very light pressure. Also, I can't feel any friction moving across the screen protectors. Add quality manufacturing and I just don't think I will have a problem with the rubber tip for a very long time. I use this stylist daily because it outperforms all of my other ones, that cost so much more, for one pen. Hope this helps!
