8 Best Styluses for Tablets UK 2024 | Apple Pencil, Samsung Galaxy Tab S Pen and More

Taking our number one stylus spot is the Logitech Crayon. Suitable for use with any app that's compatible with Apple Pencil, it's the closest you're going to get to writing with a real pen and paper.

It's ideal for everyday doodling and business operations, plus, it features a smart tip that adjusts line weight automatically. It might not be the best in terms of pressure sensitivity, but the in-hand feel, size and weight are all excellent. Best of it, it's not going to cost you an arm and a leg, despite having Apple's seal of approval! 

The S Pen is optimised for use with the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+. It's perhaps not as sophisticated as some, but if you're looking for a stylus to help with note-taking, or as an alternative to clumsy fingertips, this will be perfect!

The S pen can be used to unlock a variety of functions within your device. You can use it as a remote control to take photos and trigger PowerPoint presentations, or enable air commands to feel like a literal technical wizard as you operate your device by waving your stylus through the air.

While this might not be the most sophisticated of our stylus picks, it's tiny size may appeal to some. If you're looking for an accessory for your smartphone, or are buying for a child, this could be for you! 

These styluses also come with replaceable metal nibs, which is always handy when children are involved. Furthermore, it will work across most devices, including MatePad and Lenovo. 

The Apple Pencil carries all the classic hallmarks of a well designed product, with a futuristic aesthetic, white colour scheme and perfect weight. If you're looking for a stylus to use with the iPad Pro, you really can't do much better.

The 2nd gen is optimised for both iPad Pro and iPad Air, offering a more streamlined user experience. This includes magnetic syncing that lets you instantly pair and charge the stylus via your device. The only reason it's so high up the list is the premium price and lack of multi-device compatibility.

This stylus is practically universal. So, if you find yourself jumping from one device to another throughout your day, this will do just the trick! It works relatively well too, with a super-fine tip and few traction problems. 

Unfortunately, the battery life of this stylus tends to max out around 8 - 10 hours on one charge. While that should see you through most of the workday, it may not be enough for those extra doodles or sketches at home.

Wacom produces some of the best styluses in the game, and this is one of our favourites. It's a cheaper alternative to their Sketch stylus, and is designed for handwriting rather than drawing. 

This does mean that it has fewer levels of sensitivity, but there are still more than enough for taking notes. Many have found that it feels authentic in hand, although, the twisting cap which releases the stylus is a bit delicate, so be careful when using it! 

This active stylus from Adrawpen offers increased accuracy and pressure sensitive controls, but at a much lower price. It's also known to have a much longer battery life when compared to its competitors. 

However, it doesn't have palm rejection, which is fairly crucial when doing digital art. Not only that, but the metal nib can be somewhat of a steep learning curve for those who are new to using this type of accessory. 

The Adoint Joint Pro 4 is manufactured using a single piece of aluminium. This construction gives the stylus improved stability, which, in turn, makes writing with it a little bit more precise. Plus, you can easily clip it onto pockets, bags and more!

The stylus is compatible with both Apple and Samsung devices. However, certain features that require pressure sensitivity may not work if you're using it with an iPad. Additionally, the nibs are known to wear out rather quickly.
