on reddit, someone suggesting a metal nib with a screen protector but didn't provide any reference. In terms of writing and drawing performance, there's not much difference between the non-original vs original nibs. The hard plastic tips are slightly smoother, which is better for writing. There are different types of S Pen nibs though. The original nibs from Samsung S Pen actually comes with a rubber/matte texture tip on the nib. It's difficult to see but it's there to provide the extra friction, or maybe it's there to dampen the tapping sound while writing.

The new pen nib has 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, giving you greater control than ever before.

Some uses include activating the screen, creating notes, and designing live messages. This is so informative! I'm an artist and recently got a matte textured screen protector to have a more paper-feel when I draw and it tore up my original pen nib! This is in depth and helped me understand why my replacement nibs didn't feel like the original, thank you so much! Keep up the good work!Not sure if there are metal tips. If there are, metal tips will be as smooth as the plastic tip, and possibly make louder tapping sounds. I have another pen with metal tip and that's my experience with them.
