While using the S Pen, the S Pen nib may get dull. If the nib is dull, replace it with a new one.

1 Hold the nib with the tweezer firmly, and then pull it out.

2 Insert a new nib into the S Pen until you hear a click.

  • Do not let your finger get caught between the tweezer and the nib.
  • Do not reuse old nibs. Doing so may cause the S Pen to malfunction.
  • Do not press the nib excessively when inserting the nib into the S Pen.
  • Do not insert the round end of the nib into the S Pen. This may cause damage to the S Pen or your device.

The black-coloured nib has a black rubber cap on the tip. If the rubber cap is worn down, replace the nib with a new one.

  • Hi,

    My question is where can you buy these nibs? I bought a refurbished galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition (which I think has the same pen as the note 3) But I can't seem to find the pen tips anywhere, this is a bit strange.

    • In the original box, Samsung gives the tool (to remove the nibs) and a few extra nibs. But a lot of owners just throw it away.

      You may check with local Samsung service center.
