As you may already know, Montblanc will be introducing a stylus e-StarWalker pen for the Samsung Note 4 smartphone. I know the StarWalker Extreme Screenwriter was recently released. So, what is the difference?

From my understanding, the 2 new Montblanc covers for the Note 4 will has a special digital ID chip to make the Note 4 aware of Montblanc digital content.

Considering that I have been a Note user since Note 1 and of course a Montblanc fan, I am curious is anyone knows whether the upcoming e-StarWalker is different from the StarWalker Extreme Screenwriter .... I prefer the StarWalker Extreme look.

 

Thanks!

the note will need the MB starwalker for it to feel "authentic" so you need to pay top dollar for both oth than that the starwalkers won't work on other phones I could be wrong but I could just be very paranoidically pretentious

Shame it doesn't work with Apple products.

Brandon,

 

Thanks for the links. I am familiar with all the info in the links you sent me and watched the YouTube videos on the launch. My question is whether the e-StarWalker offers more capabilities (see that pen has a button in the pics) when in use with the Note 4? The StarWalker Extreme Screenwriter basically does the same thing but I don't think it has the additional Note 4 related features. Maybe I answered my own question. ???

 

One of the links gave me an idea .... buy the rollerball version of the StarWalker Extreme (will be my 1st StarWalker) and get the e-refill once the Note 4 comes out to see what it really can do _OR_ just wait for the e-StarWalker in October to make a decision then.

Per Montblanc -

 

the e-StarWalker is exclusively compatible with every Samsung Galaxy Note device and offers additional features with its button offering different options in a menu. The StarWalker Extreme works with all major capacitive touch screen devices

 

Looks like I have to wait for the e-StarWalker to be released sometime in late Oct or Nov timeframe.

If you have ever seen or worked with drawing tablets for PCs (like Wacom tablets), the e-Starwalker is very much like those pens. There is wireless (probably bluetooth) connectivity between the pen and the tablet -- that means it can determine pressure, contact, angle, and (as s5blitzer posted) use extra buttons for context menus.

 

The Starwalker Extreme is just a normal old capacitive stylus. No extra connectivity and it can only work as well as the capacitive sensors (made for your fingers) allow it to work on the screen. The Starwalker Extreme will work with any device that uses capacitive touch sensors, including iPhones.

 

Having used drawing tablets on PCs before and frequently using capacitive styluses, I can pretty much guarantee that the e-Starwalker will be an infinitely better writing experience, particularly if you do fine detail writing or highlighting. Capacitive styluses are terrible for high-precision tasks because they have finger-sized resolution.

Thanks DrScott. So my limited (fast learning) knowledge gained from all of you tells me that resistive is less accurate than capacitive touchscreen work. Correct? Not sure what you mean by "capacitive styluses are terrible for high precision tasks since the Note 4 and all previous Notes, have a capacitve touchescreen. I thought resistive was more accurate and if so why would the e-StarWalker on a capacitive screen be more accurate?

I GOT IT NOW!!! lol

 

"today’s capacitive touchscreens are highly accurate and respond instantly when lightly touched by a human finger"

 

Therefore, an e-StarWalker will have the ability to be accurate based on the stylus tip used.

Just one more piece of information. The Starwalker Extreme Screenwriter uses the electric field of the human body and conducts it through the special e-refill on to the touchscreen.

Meanwhile Montblanc will lauch an exclusive line of silk and leather gloves to wear when using one of their pens. LOL

Remember SJs' opinion on the use of a stylus.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
