How to spot a fake S Pen?

[ctt1wbw]

So the S Pen that came with my Note 5 that I got from eBay may have been fake. It was a gold one with a black end cap and gold clicker. So I ordered one from Amazon. Can someone please tell me if I got a real Samsung S Pen or is it a knock off? The gold one that I ordered today is all gold.

Here's the real one I bought about a month ago. Came with extra nibs under the insert.

I ordered one from Amazon also, as my current one broke off inside the phone. It was $19.99 with free shipping, using Prime. It looks just like the one pictured above and came with the extra nibs too. Looks and feels totally authentic to me. I couldn't test it though, because of the part of the pen still inside, so I had a girl at my AT&T store test it on her personal Note 5, and it worked perfectly. I wanted to be assured it was a good purchase as my phone is now currently in route to Samsung to have it taken apart and the pen pulled out. I did notice that the pen I bought is now priced higher at Amazon, up to $25.76, so the price obviously fluctuates, and I apparently bought at a good time!!

I just got scammed. The seller swore up ,and down it was a Real S-pen O.E.M. ..it was a fake . The way that you can spot a fake is the Pen will not have Pots under the Button cover ,and the nib will most likely be a white color . Not the real grey ,or black the pen came with . It may also appear wider . The nib is non replaceable, and will break off if you try to replace it . The pressure sensitivity is way off ,and does not control very well . Maybe it works only on one side only . The paint will flake off after a few days a real close look at the button looks a little better or worse . It just looks a little diffrent . You have to PUSH the pen . But the white nib that is non replaceable is a pretty good dead giveaway. Also I think the real deal is made in Vietnam ,or South Korea? But not for certain . That is too bad . A better S-pen could have been made than OEM. If they just put a little tiny effort into the stupid things. Hope this helps .
