How do I change Marker tips?

Both the Marker and Marker Plus come with a supply of nine spares stored in a convenient Marker tip card. Changing from an old used tip to a new one requires no extra tools, and takes just a few seconds.

Follow the instructions in this article to change Marker tips.

How long does a Marker tip last?

The durability of Marker tips depends on your writing technique and is therefore individual to every person. Both the amount of pressure you apply when taking notes or drawing on the CANVAS display, and how often you use your reMarkable paper tablet will affect how often you need to replace them.

Our best estimate for an average person who writes on their reMarkable every day is anywhere between three and seven weeks. While it will wear down slowly over time, you'll still be able to write and use the Marker tip right up until it can no longer connect with the display.

However, the tip will get blunter and may feel less comfortable to use before this happens. As with any precision instrument, from a chef's knife to a carpenter's chisel, you'll get the best from your Marker if you keep it sharp.

Can I use third-party Marker tips?

Our Markers and tips use EMR technology. If third-party styluses use this technology, they might work with reMarkable, but they’re not officially supported.

For the best writing experience possible, no charging, and no compatibility issues, we recommend using official reMarkable markers and tips.
