    To be fair I haven't used this too much, but in the short time I've had it I've grown to like it a lot. I love that it is so easy to use and there are various functionalities. My favorite part is that the pen snaps easily onto the side of the iPad and charges quickly. The refurbished one I purchased came basically brand new, so I would recommend going that route if you don't mind "used" products

    The functionality and look of the certified refurbished Apple Pencil is excellent. It is no different from the brand new one that I lost. Why pay more?

    Very responsive. Easy to charge as it connects magnetically to the iPad Pro. Must have accessory for designers and artist with the iPad Pro. Can't wait for the new operating system to come out and try out using the iPad as a tablet with my desktop programs. Also looking forward to trying Adobe Photoshop with it when the iPad version is released.

    Got the refurb version. It works well except the tip was not in great condition. It's worn down and has a gash in it. It is still working, but feels rough when moving. I will need to get some replacements tips - given the overall cost its fine.

    I use my Apple Pencil 2 every day as I take notes with my IPad Pro 11. The pencil reacts super well for drawing, sketching, and drafting. Absolute buying recommendation, it is also just a whole lot of fun to interact with the pencil on the iPad!

    Better off getting an open box than a refurbished

    Physically perfect condition. However, it had some flaws. On occasion, it would easily change back n forth to erase mode without me double clicking it. I returned it. Bestbuy service is super easy to work with on returns.

    I bought it simply because it seemed the thing to do with a new iPad Pro. I don’t have an artistic bone in my body so no drawing or graphic work for me. But I have found very useful in timeline manipulation in video editing and oddly coloring for stress releaf. It is expensive but this is Apple.

    My first ever Apple Pencil so not much to compare it to, but seems to be refurbished well and from what I can tell works as advertised. Strong magnetic attachment to the iPad Pro and works well on the iPadOS beta with the double-tap feature working. For $30 less it’s a great value over one brand new!

    Does NOT work with M4 iPad Pro

    This does NOT work with M4 iPad Pro! After trying the restart, connect, restart methods it still wouldn't connect to the pro, but connected to a relative's iPad-air. Even the Apple forums are full of comments regarding this! I've had a BBY credit card since almost 24 years and this shows my commitment to shopping at Bestbuy - but after returning the item they have not (yet) refunded the GC's that I partially used to purchase this.
