- If you see

I couldn’t find the old list that I swear was on the old forum in the archive. And @StarllCraft posted some extensive tests of some styli if anyone can find it.
Edit: Found one of them. Thanks @SteveS! - :vb-warning: needs integrating, especially the tip information
Due to the number of styluses (styli?) that have existed, it’s probably best that we keep one thread for each type.
Please feel free to edit this wiki.

Wacom UD EMR
A type of digital stylus technology designed by Wacom. EMR stands for ‘electronic magnetic resonance’. You can find out how it works here.
No batteries are required * for the stylus functions, including hovering (pressing buttons near the display)**, though some do have supercapacitors* for additional Bluetooth functionality (currently only a few Samsung S Pens) and there is one that uses batteries for Bluetooth buttons (page turning).
*‘Technically’, all EMR styluses have a supercapacitor to store the charge from the grid in the display assembly. These never need changing. Some pens have an additional one for Bluetooth which does require charging.
**Hovering gesture support is stylus hardware and software dependent. Currently, only Samsung Android devices going back to the original Note support it. :vb-warning: Editor’s note: This needs checking for accuracy. :vb-warning:
These come in styluses as ‘cartridges’, so it is possible to transplant them into other bodies, including the back erasers.
Due to using a magnetic field to detect the stylus, magnets may affect stylus performance. For manufacturing this means more shielding is required. For the end user, this means that some cases with magnets may negatively stylus performance.
The technology can roughly be split into two ‘generations’. The underlying technology is the same, so they are all intercompatible, but ‘1st generation’ styluses will probably not be accurate.
While Wacom’s professional digitisers do also use EMR, they are not intercompatible with Wacom UD EMR. Currently, no hacks to make them so are known.

Nibs/Tips
:vb-warning: Editor’s note: this needs checking for accuracy. :vb-warning:
Nibs come in four main types:
POM - acetal
- hard
- best on matte (paper-like) surfaces
- most common
- may ‘skate’ on smooth/glossy displays - a matte screen protector will sort this out
PC/EL - possibly polycarbonate with an [u]elastomer[/u] coating
- soft
- best on smooth/glossy surfaces
Felt
- soft
- wear out quickly
Ceramic
- very hard
- supposedly ‘never wear out’
- require a special screen protector (‘FeelWrite soft film’ (pre-installed))
- currently only used by Ratta (Supernote)
The intercompatibility of nibs is all of over the place. Some may be modded by cutting them.
This may lead to nibs getting stuck in styluses though.
Specific nibs (compatibility may vary)

Cartridges/‘Refills’

LAMY

Mods
These can be from simply supergluing a whole slim pen (usually an S Pen) into a pen body, to using the EMR ‘refills’/cartridges and 3D printing parts.
Currently the most popular seems to be to use the Supernote (Ratta) refill (likely due to them being the only ones to sell the refills/cartridges individually to consumers). Please check the subreddit or YouTube for guides. Here’s an important thing to start with though:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Supernote/comments/lzl3a1/how_to_safely_diy_a_supernote_pen/
‘1st gen stylus to 2nd gen stylus’ - untested - @StarllCraft from the archive
That is to trim the length of the nib and the refill, and fill the nib with thermal free resin, so that there will be no cursor offset
Moreover, I found that the IAF of ud emr 1.0 pen I used was better than that of Galaxy note 9 s-pen and onyx note 2 pen, and it also had double buttons and tail eraser
I also found the UD EMR 2.0 pen with three buttons, but it is not the original electromagnetic induction three buttons. Instead, it integrates Bluetooth buttons similar to AES / MPP for the EMR scheme
