Should all tablets have one?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 28, 2023

The stylus seems to be a feature fewer and fewer tablets have these days. I do like the improved accuracy you get vs your finger, especially when you move from mobile optimized sites to desktop ones. And yes desktop view looks better on a big screen, so I say the answer is yes, all tablets should have a proper stylus.

The Apple Pencil Mk2 does pair and charge easily via magnetic snapping. Note the iPad does not have a housing for the pencil, I recommend getting a third party case/cover that does. Even though it is magnetic doesn’t mean it can’t come loose and be lost and this accessory is not cheap. The flat, touch sensitive interface feels awkward and I don’t think Apple has fully realized its usage. The more tactile “volume dial” of a Wacom (or similar) stylus is better for implementing controls and switches when painting/drawing…but such discussion is of scope considering we are talking about an iPad accessory, and this isn’t a review of the iPad drawing experience.

Didn’t work and damaged

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 23, 2023

I bought the used one and for one it was slightly bent for some reason and there’s was some cosmetic damage as well because of where it was bent.
It would connect to my iPad but would not function no matter what I tried. Anyway I’m kind of disappointed. I’m sure the working pencil is fine but this one isn’t working and it’s bent lol.

Most efficient for apple

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 28, 2023

I bought it for my iPad about two months ago and it is the best combination, being in the apple eco-system it is highly compatible with it, however, it doesn't work with the other devices if you were curious. The magnetic hold is strong and doesn't fall off easily, and the touch has never been an issue, I have not explicitly tried but I have never run out of battery, and being a student I use the pencil for 3 hours straight twice or even thrice a day without any charging issues. Finally, the only real issue is that you'll need to download and might even have to pay for the right apps to get the best out of it.

Works great but a little too tap sensitive which I fixed with a little fabric.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 29, 2023

Overall, it works great! But it keeps thinking I'm tapping it so it changes tips when i don't want it to change. So, I made a thin sleeve out of fabric, 1-2 thicknesses. I hold it together with 3 thin strips of tape. (cut the fabric to size, wrap around the pencil and hold tight, and tape.) Now I can still tap to change tips but it doesn't change on its own very much any more. I take it off to charge the pencil.

With this, I'd give it 5 stars.

Great to use but there are issues

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 17, 2023

The pencil when it connects to the iPad works great. But there are bugs maybe to the iPad os or to the pencil itself that makes it disconnect to the iPad and no matter what it doesn’t connect back. Happened to me and I hit forget device, reconnected, and it worked. Happened again after a month, so I hit forget this device and it was gone. Tried everything but nothing worked. Thankfully Amazon still took it back after the 30 days were up. Mind you the pencil was but 4 months in use and hadn’t been damaged in the slightest. I also heard if taken to the Apple Store they will usually take the broken one back and get you another one (probably done within the one year manufacture warranty).

Much better than Gen1.

Love the simplicity of this new design. No more cap or dongle to lose. Way easier to recharge on the iPad vs a separate charging. Solid feel in your hand - great device. Huge upgrade over prior version.

It. Is. PERFECT.

I’m recommending this to my fellow artists on iPads, it’s perfect. Right out of the box it was charged and ready to go, it connected itself when it snapped to the side of my iPad. I was back to drawing within seconds, the gestures and different brush sizes are perfect.

Actual Apple Pencil

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 16, 2023

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?

Tenia miedo porque estaba extremadamente más barato que en las tiendas oficiales de apple, sin embargo el lápiz llegó perfecto, en el tiempo previsto, y funciona como era de esperar, es el producto original y nuevo.

Pencil works great

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2023

Verified Purchase

Not much of an electric pencil user, however, the few times I used the pencil, it did its job. I found it to be accurate. With some practice, I can see myself using it. I can see where the pencil is convenient for artists but at the same time, the sleekness of the screen seems that it would be difficult to draw on. Screen protectors that offer a certain tactile paper-like feel would be a must-have. Right now I am not ready to give up my gorilla glass screen protector.

takes a while to get used to all the tap functions and how hard to press etc etc. but to be able to do all that it can do and just slap it to the side of the ipad to charge is too cool for words. 10/10
