Here's the deal:

I love my computor but I really would like a nice stylus to go with it.  The one that came with my tx2 1020 isn't as nice as some I've seen online.  I would like to buy a wacom stylus or some felt tip nibs to make it more natural to write and draw.  What is the difference between wacom and N-trig?  Can I use a wacom stylus with my computor?  If not is there some way I can change the n-trig to wacom?  How do I know what nibs will work with my stylus?  I don't want to spend a bunch of money and have it not work.  I've been reading all about this stuff but I'm not really a computor person and I'd just like to know in a way I can understand.  Thank you so much for helping me out, I have felt so stupid because I didn't understand everything and I'm sure you guys can help me out.  Thanks in advance.

PS I don't mind at all if the stylus doesn't fit in the silo.

What i know 100% is that Wacom Bamboo stylus does NOT work on the TX2 (tested).

Really cheap, really simple solution, since store-ability is not a problem.

Buy (or find around the house) a soft cup cup holder, such as this one. Or, more optimally for your situation, you could just buy a sheet of felt.

Cut out a piece of it so that it looks like two v's pointing at each other.

Put it over the tip of your stylus and secure it down with something, such as a rubber band (your best option would probably be those tire rubber bands orthodontists use to separate molars, as it could hold the felt/piece of cup holder in the rib near the tip of the stylus).

And there you have it. You could experiment with different cloths, keep in mind the thickness of the material you use though, as I found that the cup holder I had on hand created issues with pressure sensitivity, not that it is any concern until N-trig gets their act in gear.

Done correctly, I could see this still fitting into the pen slot, but since it seems that that rib is what holds the pen in, it might not be a good idea to test it.
