Logitech - Crayon Digital Pencil for All Apple iPads (2018 releases and later) - Mid Gray

When I first opened up the package for the Logitech Crayon Digital Pencil for the iPad, I was a little put off by the orange rubber cap and stylus tip shroud. I was used to the smooth and solid feel of the Apple Pencil. However, after spending some time with the Crayon, I quickly became comfortable with the grip and feel of the rubbery touch for my fingertips while also providing a firm aluminum grip of the body. Combined with the flattened shape, which prevents it from rolling off the desk, I soon fell in love with the comfortable feel of this digital pencil. Aside from the comfort of this device, it is a solid contender for the digital pencil space for the iPad. I always grumble a little when my iPad forgets about the Apple Pencil, and I have to plug it into the iPad slot for pairing. This is not the case with the Crayon. Just turn it on, and the iPad automatically connects via Bluetooth. However, you do have to make sure to un-pair the Apple Pencil if you want to use the Crayon. Charging of the Crayon is a breeze. Lift the orange cap and plug a standard iPad charging cable into it. Mine took around 20 minutes to charge fully. If you need a quick charge to hold you for approximately 30 minutes, you can plug it in for a couple minutes for a quick boost. The battery life is around 7 hours, which is 5 hours less than the Apple Pencil. That being said, you can turn off the Crayon to make it last longer. You can’t do that with the Apple Pencil. Personally, I like being able to charge the Crayon with a cable. I’m always fearful of snapping the connector off the end of the Apple Pencil or worse - destroying the connector in the iPad itself. The Crayon is just as precise as the Apple Pencil when it comes to drawing and writing. It supports palm pressure cancellation, which is an absolute requirement for me. While it does not support stylus tip pressure for ink flow, and other painting options, it does support tilt for thicker lines. I tested mine with Pixelmator, Paper, GoodNotes, Linea Sketch, and OneNote without any problems. The precision was just as good as the Apple Pencil us and I’m not a graphic artist who needs the stylus tip pressure support. If you’re a professional digital artist, I would say stick with the Apple Pencil, especially if you’re already used to the stylus tip pressure support. For the rest of us, I highly recommend the Logitech Crayon. At a lower price point with a quality feel and a comparable precision, this is a deal hard to pass up. Pros • Palm Pressure support • Quick charging • Does not roll off the desk • Microlight status indicator • Can turn it off when not using • Automatically pairs with the iPad • Tilt support for thicker lines • Comfortable to grip and use • The tip is just as precise as the Apple Pencil • $30 cheaper than the Apple Pencil Cons • Stylus tip pressure not supported • Shorter battery life than the Apple Pencil • Requires a cable for charging • Requires 2018 or newer iPad

Does exactly what it should. Works on my iPad 6th generation. Feels good in my hand also.

Apple Pencil for 1/2 the price I was skeptical but I’m glad I decided to get it Bc it’s super easy to pair n charge + it amazing for drawling or sketching but equally great for notes.

Got it for $50 on the bundle deal (I bought an IPad Mini 5 and an Otterbox case at the same time. A must-have if you have a newer iPad!

When I purchased this pen. I searched high and low for a good one. I really found this particular one perfect because it is color. Great item for my iPad Pro.

https://youtu.be/ZDDPgmx3OYg This Review on My Youtube Channel will explain it all.

I purchased this pencil to make simple drawings and writing, also text selection and other basic stuff, and it’s working wonders. The tip is pretty fragile and any drop or hit to the tip will bent it and alter its function, having to replace it (fortunately any Apple Pencil tip will do, even Chinese ones). One super positive thing about this pencil is that it doesn’t need to sync with the device or anything, so it can be used on many devices at the same time (perfect for children in school I guess, for sharing). The major drawback: no pressure support, so artists are losing here.

If you don't want a headache after using it for a few months, spend $30 more dollars to get an apple pen. This pencil is a troublesome. It will stop working at some point. Considering the difference in price between apple pencil and this one, this pencil is not worth buying.
