Which pen instead of the Kobo Stylus?
Kobo Stylus pen is not sold in my country (Turkey). Which Stluys pen can I buy instead at similar prices? Microsoft Surface Pen is too expensive. What pen can I get at a minimum price that will work as well as a Kobo Stylus?

I got a renaisser 520c (on Amazon, for around 27€ after some prime promotion) after searching a bit over the net. Honestly I haven't used it much yet but I saw good opinions online. I can at least confirm that it works. I like that it's rechargeable by usb-c.

Which pen instead of the Kobo Stylus?
There are literally two other threads on this very subject, started this week! I’m guessing that people are starting to get their Sages now.
You can scroll down the page to find these other threads and see that several styluses work with the Kobos. You might like the feedback people give on the styluses that they found. Update: I figured out how to grab the thread URL when using Tapatalk. Here they are: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=341575 https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=343436 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Cootey; 12-11-2021 at 04:38 PM. |

I just recently purchased the Renaisser 520C and couldn't be more pleased. Comparing it to Kobo's stylus, it is lighter, with a narrower barrel and nicely balanced. Writing and drawing seems smoother on both the Sage and Elipsa. The button use is very similar in both function and response. The USB-C rechargeable feature is a big bonus. I've only had it a few days but, for my use, I prefer it over Kobo's by far.

I have similar experience with 520C.
The pen is more comfortable to use and nibs are much softer. Even though it feels less like writing with a pencil on actual paper compared to the default stylus, my handwriting seems to have improved and is now closer to the one I get with physical pen and paper. |

Another endorsement from me on the Renaisser 520C: really prefer the writing feel over the stock stylus and the built-in battery allays my anxiety over running out and not being able to find a AAAA battery.
