Bought this for my nieces iPad as she loves to draw on her iPad, she said it works really well and it is perfect for all the small details for her art work.
Having been in the company of this electronic wizard for a bit now, I can affirm its place as a most vital ally in my digital escapades. Powered to the brim within minutes, it has faithfully stood by my side for many hours, ceaselessly translating my ideas onto the iPad. Its precision is uncanny and the experience, seamless. As for palm rejection, it’s just an artist’s wish granted. In leisure, it sits snugly on the side of the tablet, always at beck and call.
It works well and doesn’t need to be charging all the time. Will say it can be slightly annoying to turn on and pair but once that’s done it works great.
Loved the packaging – very apple-like. Take the pen out, turn it on by pessing the end, use the led dots to see state of charge and it just works! No pairing or setting up required! Comes with spare nibs and a spare rubber cover for the charging port – works brilliantly on the ipad, with palm rejection – recommended.
My daughter’s Apple pencil just broke, so the timing of this popping up was perfect. It arrived really well packaged, and is fully CE marked.
The pencil itself feels comfortable to hold, although she has added a grip to it (she had it on her AP). It has the same features, such as having the magnetic attach, the tilt function, palm rejection etc. It charges quickly and automatically links once switched on, so no faffing around with Bluetooth. There’s also a battery light indicator, which is super helpful. It’s accurate too, and there’s no delay.
Overall, I am very happy with this. It’s saved me a considerable amount of money, which essentially is just paying for the brand. Best of all, it also comes with extra tips and a charge cable. Can recommend. Very pleased.
Immediate connection and seamless intergration with my iPad Pro 10.5, very fast recharge that holds the charge. It has all the bells and whistles of stylus’ twice the price. A good value competent and precise stylus.
Excellent product. Was a bit sceptical with the price compared to the more expensive alternatives, however couldn’t have been more wrong. The quality is great, it works well with my iPad and more importantly my son, who I bought it for, loves it. Highly recommended.
The pen works really well. Pairing is seamless, no issues at all in connecting and reconnecting. Accuracy is also very good even with glass screen protectors on. Overall a great product.
I was excited to receive this pencil but then disappointed to find it wasn’t working. I emailed the support who replied instantly to assist. Unfortunately due to me not reading the details properly it transpired that the pencil wasn’t compatible with my iPad.
They were very good at resolving my issue and have offered a full refund.
This works well
it was instantly recognised by the iPad – and we saw no lag – check out my video
you can get variation in line by altering speed of movement
the ipad handwriting recognition is 100% – again, see my video
it is easy to charge – and stayed charged for a 2 hour batch of homework last night!
BIG ADVANTAGE – it has a “D” profile – so it doesn’t roll off the desk or tablet
you get several replacement tips – so it should cope with a lot of use.
the charging port cover comes off easily – you get a spare – but is it really needed?
And – it isn’t pressure sensitive
for less than 20 this is a VERY good alternative to the Apple branded pen if you don,t need a pressure-sensitive option.

This is a very nice stylus which will work with a wide variety of Apple tablets. Mine is an iPad 8th Gen 10.2″, and I have no issues using it. The tip has just enough grip to stop the stylus skating uncontrollably over its shiny surface, and prevents loud ‘clacking’ when writing, but it doesn’t offer too much resistance. It’s easy to charge via USB-C, and connection to an iPad is as simple as adding it as a Bluetooth device – which took seconds. It’s nice to hold – not too slim and not too fat, and it has a decent weight and balance. It has a flat on one side to prevent it rolling off a flat surface, which is a nice touch.
For the money, I think it’s great value. I’ve used more styli costing double, and they haven’t been appreciably better performing.
This stylus pen works well with my iPad Air 4th Generation.
Compared to my original Apple Pencil 2, this 3rd party Stylus Pen:
> feels ever so slightly lighter
> has a tip which is a bit harder, and produces a more plastic/higher-pitched tapping sound when hitting the screen.
The overall feel of this stylus pen is quite good for me and I am giving it 4 stars because:
+ it does charge fast
+ feels good when handling it
+ it worked with my iPad without problems
+ it comes with instructions in English and with pictures, but keep in mind your device’s menu-screens my differ depending on which iOS version you are running
+ it has extra tips
+ USB charging cable provided (cable only)
+ nice LED charge indicator
+ tilt function to draw with different tip thickness (see my video)
I only gave it 4 stars because:
1) No pressure sensitivity. It’s fair to say, at this price, this feature is missing from most 3rd part stylus pens. Also, unless you are an artist, you may not care about this feature
2) Cannot be charged by contact (when attached to iPad as you can do with the original Apple Pencil). As per point (1) at this price, this feature is missing from most 3rd part stylus pens.
It does work as per advertised features, and it feels good in use. If you do not need pressure-sensitive drawing, such a budget stylus will work great. If you go on a trip and do not want to risk losing the more expensive original Apple Pencil, taking along a ‘budget 3rd party stylus’ may be the smarter thing to do.
