    Quality Refurbished Apple Pencil

    The first I was unsure if it was an official Apple Pencil, but after confirming with someone with a second generation Apple Pencil that bought from a store, I confirmed it was real. Just because it doesn’t have a serial on the tip of the pencil doesn’t mean it’s not official by the way! Great quality works good than using it for nursing school, would never go back to normal no taking now!

    So far so good on using the pencil without issue. I'm skeptical about used electronics, but to save an extra dollar, I take the chance. It arrived well packed in a shipping box, the lonely ol' pencil. The only thing I wish is that I would have received the original box for it.

    Works right out of the box, easily paired, fast charge, long battery life. Has a great feel writing on the iPad and I could not be more happier with it. The neat double tap on the pencil to switch from pencil to erase is perfect. Love this purchase!

    I was super worried that the pencil wouldn’t work, but it does it looks brand new plus it also can in its original packaging, if you want to save some money for sure buy this one.

    This Apple Pencil is very good, it doesn’t glitch of anything!! If Apple Pencil 2nd generation in Apple Store is very expensive I suggest you get this one for less! That’s what I did and I end up saving some money!!

    Best Buy sold me USB-C in place of 2nd gen furbished. So i paid full price of brand new USB-C pencil for a refurbished one. Now I have travelled out of town so I cannot even return.

    Ordered a refurbished Apple Pencil 2. Not a newbie here. I'm familiar with conditions of refurbished products. But this Pencil arrived bent so badly the housing was cracked. This should never have been passed on to another customer. Truly have no idea why they allowed something in this condition to be returned to them in the first place.

    Straight out of the box and it was damaged. According to the description, it should come in perfect conditions and my Apple Pencil was damaged. It looked like it has dog bite marks. I recommend buying a brand new Apple Pencil. I regret trying getting this damaged Apple Pencil for trying to save a few bucks.

    I recently snagged a used Apple Pencil 2 from Best Buy, and I couldn't be happier – it works perfectly, just like new! The magnetic attachment and wireless charging are incredibly convenient, and the double-tap gesture for switching tools is a game-changer for my workflow. Whether I'm sketching, taking notes, or navigating my iPad, the precision and responsiveness are top-notch with virtually no lag. It's been a fantastic way to get the full Apple Pencil experience without the brand-new price tag, proving that a well-maintained used option can be an excellent buy.

    Great improvements over gen 1. Much more streamlined and love how it connects magnetically to the top of the ipad when not in use. Also don't have to try and charge it with the ipad which also is nice. Seems to feel a little better in hand as well compared to gen 1.

    Personally this worked great for me and I had zero problems with it being refurbished. I got it because I didn't wanna pay full price and it has been great! Tbh I do forget about it sometimes, but it came in handy for my college classes, especially stats.

    Works well, but I did have a little getting it paired to my ipad. Be careful - only works with certain newer models. Once paired, works well for those that need better control than a finger.
