Onyx Boox Pen 2 Pro Nib alternatives

Markismus · 11-01-2023, 08:20 AM

I've misplaced my Steadler Norris Jumbo, so I had to shell out 20€ for 5 nibs for the pen 2 pro. That is really ridiculous!

The Boox Marker Tips have a shaft, which is 1.0mm and the tip is 1.66(+-0.02)mm.*
The Steadler Norris Jumbo nibs also have a shaft of 1.0mm, but the tip is 1.24mm. So the tips can move to the side and get bent rather quickly. So not a great alternative.

Does anyone know an alternative nib with a 1.0mm shaft and a larger tip that fits the Pen 2 Pro, but doesn't cost that much.

Maybe it would be nice to compile a list of nibs with shaft and tip diameter, so we don't have to choose what nib could be a viable alternative for a pen. I for one are wondering whether those Wacom nibs are a nice fit or not.

Yes, I saw.
However, since the Steadlers which have perfect length and shaft thickness have too slim a tip, the information at Amazon is lacking. I could order a 5 versions and send 4 back. That doesn't seem like an intelligent approach. A forum approach collecting the data seems to save a lot of returned tips.
