I honestly thought this would give me a really good 3rd party apple pencil, but this is an actually apple pencil, in all the original packaging! Got it at a $40 discount compared to buying one at the apple store, so I would 100% recommend getting this if you are considering a stylus for your iPad! Works great and feels really nice in my hand. If you have used a stylus before on a table, you know it's a game changer. If you haven't and you see this is at a discounted price, what are you waiting for?
