Works great!
By Mrs. Rogers on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2024
If you want a pencil that works just as well as the regular iPad pencil and don't need it to register if you are using more of less pressure and don't want to have to buy an actual Apple pencil, I can 100% recommend this pencil. I had bought this for my iPad Pro but as it doesn't register different pressure the way I needed it to, I gave it to my daughter and it works perfectly for her. It holds a charge for hours of continual use before it needs to be charged. When it does need to be charged it does so quickly. If you have a case that doesn't allow the pen to magnetize to the iPad you may want to either rethink your case or find a way to attach the pen to the case. This pen comes with a small magnetic charger that plugs in and is easy to use. For some reason it feels like it charges a bit slower than if connected to the iPad itself but it isn't a big issue honestly.

Okay alternative but not for an artist
By Savannah H on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2023
I had gone through 2 Apple pencils in four years, so I decided to try an alternative because I was a little tight on money, and the Apple pencils are a bit more expensive. It is a lot lighter than the regular Apple Pencil, which some people like. As an artist who does a lot of digital work the biggest issue for me was that this pen does not have pressure sensitivity. I read through several of the comments which stated that you should buy this because it’s a great alternative to the Apple Pencil and that they are happy to save the money, but as an artist, the pressure sensitivity feature of the Apple Pencil is such an important feature as it knocks out extra time, steps and allows for different techniques. This does have a feature that on each side that you twist the pencil it will either get Bolder or lighter however, it’s kind of an uncomfortable way to draw and is not really as effective as apples pressure sensitivity feature. Not to mention about a week after I bought it, it started to lag severely and caused my apps to freeze from the lagging. It could have just been the pencil that I got maybe it was slightly damaged in shipping or just one of those things that malfunctioned but regardless, for artists, I wouldn’t particularly recommend this unless you really really need a cheap pen to draw with. I started to draw a piece with this pen, and was very disappointed with the outcome. I haven’t tried any other alternative other than this brand, but I went out and bought another Apple Pencil because to me after this experience, I was afraid there might not be anything that really should be considered a good alternative for an artist. For people who are writing books, taking notes or like to do planners, simple things, this might be a good alternative for you. However, I will probably stick with the Apple pencils and just plan to keep a budget in case I need to buy another one. So you get what you pay for, it’s great for simple things but not really artwork unless you want to spend a decent amount of extra time on each piece and risk a lag.
