Samsung Galaxy Tab A stylus?

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet and discovered Samsung Notes on it.
It needs a stylus so I bought one.
And it doesn't work.
It seems to have a switch on the side but whether it is switched on or off I have no idea.
I can write using my nail so that part works so why is the stylus not working?
Am I missing something?

Sounds like you bought a Samsung S pen.
If one didn't come with your tab you don't have the one that the S pen works on and you just need a cheap stylus from ebay......Drinking Rum before 10am makes you

That is what I thought I was buying. It cost me less than £2.
A Nintendo DS stylus doesn't work either.0 -
OK, what's the model number of your Tab T580 or P580?
Not sure what you have with a 'switch' on the side......Drinking Rum before 10am makes you

That Stylus looks like an S pen knock off. Anyway it doesn't seem to be a capacitive one, which is what you need.
Something like THIS...
I've not used one of those, but it looks one of the slimmer ones....Just search Capacitive stylus on ebay.....Drinking Rum before 10am makes you
