Zag Stylus for iPad
This stylus has an excellent feel in my hand. Feels very well balanced and feels like quality. The gray and black design definitely sets it apart from the Apple Pencil. Works very well. iPad recognized it as an Apple Pencil while brining up the scribble app intro. Writing and drawing with it is comparable to the pencil. I have not noticed the difference. The top tip can be used for scrolling, unlike the pencil. Has a magnetic side to attach to the iPad, but doesn’t seem as secure as the pencil to me. Stylus fell off off the tablet while being carried into the house. It does not seem to have that double tap pencil feature to change writing tools (pen/eraser). It also does not charge like the pencil by attaching it to the iPad, but it has a charging cable included in the box. Interesting design though, the top slides up to reveal the charging port. It also includes an extra writing tip. I have not worn out the battery yet. I’ve used it off an on for about two days. The quick start guide recommends a 5w charger box, so there’s that. Excellent replacement for the pencil! Add Best Buy’s fast and free shipping and you’ve got a great deal! Used it on iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Generation.

Recommend Zagg for Note takers & budget
I’m an unemployed engineer so I view purchases by affordability to functionality. I found the biggest difference to the Apple Pen 2 is the convenience of charging when the Apple Pen 2 is attached to the iPad. Sadly, Apple failed to sync the iPad to iPhone stylus compatibility. -> The Apple Pen 1 works with both devices while the Pen 2 does Not work on my iPhone 13. For compatibility both stylus have the the squishy stylus type tip - I’m not a big fan - on the other side of the pen. Still this is a minor detail compared to the beauty of being able to handwrite notes with my hand resting on iPad due to the Palm rejection invention technology And being able to tilt the stylus pen to write as if using a pen on paper! Fabulous!! I recommend the Zagg stylus to budget conscious customers who can live without some additional conveniences as charging, “beyond amateur” drawing, and gesture shortcuts instead of buttons as on the Adonit Note or Adonit Pixel Pro; that I don’t have on Zagg stylus. Special note - As far as drawing, the Apple Pencil is professionally reviewed to work best with Photo editing in addition to drawing amongst these other comparable stylus.

Yes, I would recommend
Works as intended thus far. Would like to have had a little more heft in the pen, but that is simply my personal preference. I have not yet had to re-charge it. At this point I have had the pen a month. However, I do not use it all the time.

Apple Pencil Who!!!
When the Apple pencils initially released there were no true reliable alternatives at the time. So apple owned that market for its iPad for a time. I paid 47 bucks and some change for this pro stylus, I believe it’s discounted because version 2 has recently released. It’s definitely not discounted because of quality. There’s no considerable difference I see in this pro stylus compared to the Apple Pencil. I love that it magnetically attaches to the side of the iPad, because who wants to lose a stylus. I wrote with it for approximately 10 hours writing notes in good notes and it was no different than my Apple Pencil. I have no complaints whatsoever. Just remember if you already own an Apple Pencil, you will have to disconnect it before trying to use the pro stylus. I wish I discovered the Pro Stylus sooner, could have saved myself some money.
