There is a gray nib in the pen, and there are two black ones and a gray one in a little plastic bag. It's really hard for me to describe the feeling of the gray nib, I can't tell how much of the feeling of friction comes from the nib and how much comes from the screen texture.
From the website:
"Enjoy a smooth, natural writing experience with these replacement stylus tips. Specially designed for use with the DPTA-RS1 Digital Paper Stylus, these tips come in two different materials—choose felt for pencil-like writing, or polyoxymethylene for pen-like writing."
Good old polyoxymethylene! So, I guess I'm using the gray felt one that is supposed to feel like a pencil. Ok, I love pencils, especially the Palomino Blackwing, but I'm not sure this feels the same. Still, it's better than a pencil because the tip does not break off!
I'll try to get up the nerve to switch nibs to the black one. They're kind of precious, none of the S1 nibs I have fit it, as far as I know, and the RP1 nibs are backordered.
