Replacing a stylus pen tip is quick, and most kits include what you need. Here’s a general approach:

1. Remove the old tip: Use the included puller or a pair of tweezers to gently pull the tip straight out. Avoid twisting.
2. Choose your new tip: Many kits offer HB, H, or 2H options. Pick the feel you prefer.
3. Insert the new tip: Push it straight in until snug. Don’t force it.
4. Test on your screen: Try a few strokes to check pressure and responsiveness.

Compatibility can vary by pen model, so compare item details before swapping. These steps can help, but results may vary based on your device and usage.

Tip hardness changes the feel on glass and the control you get. Consider:

• HB: Balanced grip and glide. Great for everyday note‑taking and sketching.
• H: Slightly harder and smoother. Good if you like a lighter touch and faster movement.
• 2H: Hardest and slickest in most kits. Some artists prefer it for fine, quick lines.

Your screen finish and pressure habits matter, too. A matte protector adds friction; bare glass feels slicker. If you’re unsure, a mixed pack lets you try different textures and find what feels right for your handwriting or illustration style.

Tip lifespan varies widely based on how often you write or draw, the screen surface, your pressure, and tip material. Rather than a set timeframe, look for signs it’s time to replace:

• Flattened or frayed tip that feels less precise.
• Inconsistent strokes or skipping on screen.
• More slipping or unexpected scratches on unprotected glass.

To help tips last longer: keep your screen clean, avoid heavy pressure, and store the pen so the tip isn’t rubbing in a bag. When performance drops, swapping in a fresh nib can restore control, but outcomes may differ by device and habits.

A new tip can highlight other issues. Try these checks:

1. Reseat the tip: Remove and reinsert the nib straight in until snug.
2. Clean contact points: Wipe the tip and screen with a soft, lint‑free cloth.
3. Test in multiple apps: Rule out app‑specific behavior.
4. Check power: Make sure the pen is charged or has a fresh battery.
5. Review device settings: Look for stylus input, pressure, or palm‑rejection controls.
6. Try another tip: A different nib can help identify a defective part.

Some pens require specific tip styles and sizes. If issues persist, compare item compatibility notes. These steps can improve performance, but results may vary.

Tip styles aren’t one‑size‑fits‑all. To narrow it down:

• Identify your pen model: Check markings on the pen or your device’s settings.
• Match the tip type: Active pens typically use HB/H/2H nibs; older capacitive pens may need different, larger refills.
• Compare dimensions: Look at the tip length/diameter listed in item details.
• Review the compatible series: Product pages often list supported pen generations.
• Consider kit contents: Some include pullers and multiple hardness options.

You can use filters and specifications to find suitable refills, then choose pickup or delivery options that work for you. If in doubt, consult your pen’s documentation before ordering.
