How to Change Tablet Pen Nibs
Over time, the nibs at the end of a tablet PC stylus become worn. This problem often goes unnoticed until you realize how much harder you are pressing on your stylus than you did when the pen and nib were new. Most tablet PC pens come packaged with several extra nibs and a nib remover that looks like a metal ring with a cut in it. If you have lost this nib remover, a pair of needle-nosed pliers will also pull the nib out of the stylus. Replacing this nib will improve your tablet PC experience.

Tips & Warnings

If you have run out of nibs, you can order them from your computer's manufacturer for a small fee.
Do not use your teeth to remove the nib. Dampness can interfere with stylus connectivity.
