Apple Pencil 2nd Gen Stylus - Digital Pen for iPad Pro 11/12.9, iPad 6-10, iPad mini, iPad Air - BlackCarbonfree Certified

The media could not be loaded. I’ll preface by saying I have an iPad Pro and a 2nd gen Apple Pencil… I am definitely partial to my pencil. It is a dream to use, & if you have the money, I will always recommend it first.That being said, for Christmas we decided to get my kids each a 9th gen iPad and stylus, as I homeschool and it takes a long time to do our schoolwork one at a time on my iPad. My goal is for them to each have their books on their iPads and simultaneously do their work. However, my kids are still young and easily distracted/clumsy, or simply don’t quite understand the true value of such items yet. Thus my search for a good alternative began.I spent a long time looking at all the options here; reading a ton of reviews. I wanted as close to my own pencil in every aspect as I could get, even down to the nib style. This does all of what it claims to do. I paired it with my iPad Pro to give it a try in the meantime, and it worked great. After reading the instructions, it was easy to get it connected. I don’t notice any lag, and all of the features seem to work perfectly. I should note that you cannot close out of apps using the stylus. (As you’ll see in my video.) Please excuse the sound machine in the background, but if you listen closely, you can also hear an ever so faint ‘scratching’ sound. I am hoping it’s simply the way I was holding it, but I will be keeping an eye on that for sure. I did check the screen, but I didn’t see any scratches thus far. That will quite possibly be a dealbreaker. Also, I do miss the pressure sensitivity, but it seems as though only the pencil is equipped with that feature. It does magnetize to the iPad as claimed, though possibly not quite as strongly as the pencil, but I’m really picking here. As far as a size and appearance comparison goes, I am happy to say they are nearly identical. (Apart from the obvious charge port and battery indicator, which is honestly a welcome feature.) This stylus is maybe a hair thicker than the pencil and only a little bit longer. It is also shaped just like the pencil in that it is rounded with one beveled side which is where it magnetizes to the iPad. The pencil, however, does have a slightly more substantial feel to it, but my kids won’t notice a difference. It came with a charge cable & 3 extra nibs, but it did not come with a charge port cover; which is disappointing, but they honestly would’ve lost them anyway.I hope this was helpful!! I tried to think of all the things that mattered to me when I was searching for hours. Bottom line… definitely worth the purchase! For my kids’ needs, it’s the Goldilocks. No, you’re obviously not getting an Apple quality stylus, but you are getting a very good alternative at a very good price point.If my opinion changes as they are used, I will be sure to update!UPDATE 10/24:They’ve worked very well for our needs thus far. I will say though, that the other day my son dropped his from counter height and it must have landed directly on the nib because it completely broke it open exposing the metal tip. Thankfully I had the replacement nibs! Just be aware that they seem to be very soft & this is a risk to watch for. Still happy with the pens overall though, and definitely still recommend them. Side note, now I need to make sure I can order new nibs when I run out of the provided replacements!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is an excellent choice for a lower priced option of a pen for my new IPad. This pen is sturdy and it does exactly what it should do for precision writing and drawing. It comes with 3 extra tips, which is a big plus. This pen worked instantly with my tablet.

Pretty impressed. Charges fast and lasts a long time, I only charge it like once a week. Feels solid in the hand, similar weight and shape to the Apple Pencil. Connects instantly, no Bluetooth needed. Just tap the top to turn it on.Works great for writing notes, highlighting PDFs, and casual drawing. Pressure sensitivity isn’t really there, but palm rejection works fine. No lag. For everyday use, it does the job. No complaints.

(Took off 1 star for no dust cover over charger)I love this pencil. I bought it to replace my old knockoff pencil which was so outdated it was a dupe of the first generation Apple Pencil. It holds an amazing charge and works wonderfully for me as a college student who takes all my notes on my iPad! I got it on sale for about ~10 bucks and it was a great deal for that, it carried me through the last few weeks of the semester (some of the busiest writing times) really well! It was very easy to set up with my iPad and it the writing speed is good, I can’t speak to it in comparison to the Apple version since I don’t own one but I don’t feel the need to spend that much money when this fits all my needs for a fraction of the price. I love that it came with extra pencil nibs, and it’s much comfier to writer with than my last pencil dupe. When very I first tested it out I had some issues with line-skips while writing, but quickly discovered that it doesn’t happen at all if I rest my hand on the screen while writing (which is my natural writhing position anyhow, especially as a lefty) overall, it’s great for the price, I just wish they’d have included a dust cover but luckily I just put it face down in my iPad case when I store it and I’ve had no issues with the charging port getting dirty so far because I do that. Fits perfect in both of my different iPad cases’ pencil slots.

"I recently got my hands on the Stylus for iPads, and I must say, I'm impressed. The design is sleek and modern, and it feels sturdy yet lightweight, making it comfortable to use for extended periods. Performance-wise, the stylus is highly responsive, with excellent accuracy. It supports pressure sensitivity and tilt, which is a huge plus for artists. The battery life is impressive, lasting up to 10 hours on a single charge, and it recharges quickly.The stylus works seamlessly with my iPad Pro, and I didn't have to go through any complicated setup process. I particularly love the palm rejection feature, which allows me to rest my hand on the screen without any issues. The customizable button is a nice touch, giving me quick access to my favorite tools.Considering its features and performance, I believe the Stylus offers great value for money, especially when compared to other high-end styluses. Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and versatile stylus for their iPad."

I can confirm, at least for now, lol, this pencil works on the new 2024 iPad Mini A17.I’ve seen reviews that say it dies after a few days or weeks, and if that’s the case I will update my review accordingly.But for now it feels good, it’s a lot lighter than the official pencil, but it’s just as responsive for my needs and it comes in black!!! Why spend $80 when I can get this for 1/4 of the price and it’s just as good??I am not an artist or a writer, I’m a student pilot and got this so I could jot down notes in the cockpit without having to pull out a real pen and paper, since I’m already using my iPad to navigate.

Bought as a gift for my daughter. Worked great on her IPAD and keeps a charge for a long time. She use is to draw and take notes. She absolutely loves it.

works great on tablet. good value as always from Amazon
