amPen Replacement Hybrid Stylus Tips (5-Pack)

A few months ago, I learned a lesson about styluses. The tips can wear out (I'm sure there's a technical term for that) and no longer work on a touchscreen when you apply them. That was the end of Stylus #1. I bought a replacement and a few months later learned another lesson. If you press too hard on the screen with the stylus, you can actually rip the soft tip out of the band that holds it. That was the end of Stylus #2. I'm still on Stylus #3, and, for once, I got a pleasant surprise when I opened the box containing the stylus.I bought the AmPen Capacitative Stylus, ASIN: B0059KTEBC (in black). It's a very popular stylus on Amazon with good reason (you can read my review there), but the description on the Amazon page said that it had a non-replaceable tip. So, imagine my surprise when the instructions indicated that you could replace the tip with these AmPen 7mm Replacement Tips. I was able to unscrew the tip on the stylus rather easily, so I went ahead and ordered the replacement tips, figuring I could return them if they didn’t work.The AmPen replacement tips work like a charm with the AmPen stylus, You simply unscrew the original tip and screw in the replacement. The whole process takes about 15 seconds. The tip is made from a different material from the original tip, which was a smooth black rubbery surface. Instead, the replacement tip is silver and has a mesh feel to it. Even though the original tip remains in good condition, I used the replacement for about a week to check out the operation, and it works perfectly. In fact, the replacement tip moves more smoothly over the surface of my tablet than the original does, although that may be because the original has been in use for several months. The replacement is the same size as the original, about .5” long and .25” in diameter, and only weighs about an ounce or so. The set of five replacement tips ships in a re-sealable plastic pouch, so you can easily remove and use just one and store the rest until needed.My experience with my first two styluses has taught me the principle “better safe than sorry.” For that reason, even though I’ve no current need for a replacement, this set of five tips gives me a good comfort feel for whenever I might need a replacement. Plus, if I lose or break my stylus, I can make sure the new one I buy matches the tips. At less than $2 apiece, these replacement tips are quite a bargain. I highly recommend these AmPen replacement tips as a smart investment and a good product.

I love the hybrid stylus and use it on all my smart devices. It was by far the best stylus I came across but because I am very hard on them I was buying them fairly regularly and because my friends had a tendency to like it after trying it I would give it to them and purchase another. I had thought it would be a great idea for. Them to sell the tips and so I searched Amazon and found them. Please note that you must have the amPen stylus with the removable tip model or you will need to up hares that stylus first. These tips are fantastic. The upside for the consumer is both the price point and the life of the hybrid tip. I love the hybrid mesh and it continues to work with zero problems on any device with or without a screen protector. I have a variety (cheap to expensive) screen protectors and these tips operate smoothly with all that I own. The product comes in a small metallic /plastic pouch, so I do recommend finding a place to store the tips so they do not get damaged. I used a very small plastic container which I keep in my desk so they do not get crushed or easily lost. Great product, long shelf life, and easy to use. Extremely satisfied!

I tend to be pretty rough with my stylus and before I bought my amPen, I would buy styluses by the 12-pack every three to four months because I would wear down the tip to the point that it would leave black streak marks on my iPad screen after about a week of use. The streak marks would then transfer onto my iPad case, making my iPad case so filthy that I would have to buy a new case in addition to a new pack of styluses.I've owned my amPen for over three years and have only needed to reorder the 5-pack tip replacements twice during that time. The tips are made with a mesh-like construction but are firm like most styluses, they are very sturdy, they never leave black streaks on my iPad, and they hold up for several months before needing to be replaced. And best of all, the tips are so cheap that I've saved literally hundreds of dollars not having to buy so many styluses.Pros: Great for heavy stylus users; sturdy; don't leave black streaks on the screen; cost effective.Cons: I honestly can't think of any cons about this product.

We purchased an amPen Hybrid Stylus for both my wife and myself last year and were thrilled with the features - the attached lanyard that is inserted into the earphone jack to keep it with the device, the built in spring to make it functional without removing it from the earphone jack, and most of all the hybrid tip. This is a responsive tip that works smoothly on both our Kindle Fires and our smartphones. It is responsive to accurately draw, select and record movements and is not overly soft to where it drags or is unable to accurately select items during use. The great part is the replacement tips, which is what this review is really about. The pack of five replacement tips is the right size, as it provides multiple replacements for less than the cost of a single stylus! They are of the same high quality as the tip that originally came on the stylus. They install quickly and securely. I highly recommend this stylus and the replacement tips to anyone frustrated with many of the poor quality offerings available. It is a larger stylus and seems designed for tablets and bigger touchscreen devices rather than phones, but is an excellent addition to any touchscreen device.

Great to be able to buy the replacement tips as original wore down in a few months. However, as the pen has a smaller tip too, it would be good to be able to replace this smaller size at the same time.

J'aurais cru que ces embouts seraient beaucoup plus durable mais je les aime bien quand même

Excellent and a very practical idea to supply replacements - love the Pen - great value not too expensive.

Excellent, a good buy to go withe the stylus.

Brilliant
