Wacom Bamboo Feel felt nibs tip!

If you have a Wacom Bamboo tablet, or bought a Bamboo Feel stylus for your Samsung Galaxy Note, or are using the one that came with your Toshiba Excite Write, or are just so damn lucky to have a Cintiq Companion/Hybrid, at some point after a month or two of use, you WILL start to wear the felt tip out. The felt tip is the key to getting the feel of "tooth" on your screen so that it feels more like a "page" than a smooth piece of (likely) Gorilla Glass.

So, here are some tips to keep you drawing:

1. Keep the tip clean: residue can impede performance, likely causing you to draw harder and/or to redraw lines, adding to the mileage.
2. Try to keep your stroke pressure light; if you prefer to draw hard with your hand in a fist, don't say I didn't warn you.
3. At some point, if you orient your pen in one specific way every time (either due to the secondary button placement or just because) you will find that the tip will chisel. ROTATE ROTATE ROTATE. Try to keep your nib from turning into a crayon or pencil tip you've drawn too hard on by rotating the pen once in a while.
4. If you didn't buy a pen separately that may have come with replacement nibs, BUY SOME. They come in "firm" and "soft" varieties and variety packs. They just pop in and out of your stylus end.

Remember: keep the tip clean, rotate it once in a while, and only apply gentle pressure. Yeah, that sounded suggestive, but there it is.
