Not Great, Not Terrible

I wouldn't worry about all these 1-star reviews if the pen is influential in buying a Samsung tablet. I've used mine daily for a couple months now and it's held up just fine. I throw it in the pencil pouch of my backpack with all the other ones. There was either a quality control problem or careless ownership. I take a half dozen pages of notes for grad school a day and no issues.
Length is good, not too long like a conventional new pencil but not too short for big hands. Cool that it's magnetic with the side of the tablet. I don't store it there but keeps it from easily walking away. My only complaint would be the eraser feature built into the side. It's flush to the side on with no way to find it with your finger without looking at it or keeping it oriented in the exact same position. Which is just not how I use a pencil. Some sort of nub or dent would have been good. Or better yet - missed opportunity to make the eraser end of the pencil - the eraser end.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey Jonny, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your S Pen for your Galaxy Tab 11. The S Pen offers a comfortable writing length, a convenient magnetic attachment, and responsive note-taking support for long study sessions. It is great to hear that it has held up well with daily use, though a more noticeable eraser button or an eraser-style end could make it much easier to use by touch. We appreciate you sharing your perspective on how to improve the S Pen by adding an eraser function for better functionality. That is something that can be shared with the developer team for sure. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing Samsung. -Ty

Requires a concerning amount of pressure to trigger the "pressure sensitivity." Also, the nib was destroyed while kept where it belongs, magnetically attached to the tablet in my laptop bag - and they don't seem to sell replacements.
