Apple Pencil is nice to do the drawing or taking notes on iPad Pro. Would be nice if it is cheaper.

So my original intentions were to just grab a wireless keyboard for my pad pro. I knew about the pencils and just figured they were just a gimmick etc. An awesome employee saw my skepticism and walked me right over to an iPad just to show me a clear usage of the pencil. I let him talk for like a minute and said sold, take my money! This thing is pretty f'n cool. Go try it in the store if you're weary, I'm happy I was lucky enough to!!!

Works great but too many small pieces to lose!

The pressure sensitivity is fantastic. It’s ergonomic and sleek. But it is not magnetic so it won’t cling to the side of an iPad like some other tablets do. And worst of all charging this thing is ridiculous! You have to remove a small cap from the back which you can lose if you don’t buy a separate ring to hold it to your pen. I have another stylus that have the silicone ring built in so I didn’t have to worry about that before. And then you have to attach a separate piece to the end of the pencil just to plus it into your charger.

Based on function alone - definitely 5 stars. Far better then any ordinary stylus. It does have a great feel when writing or drawing. But I think $100 is a bit much for a stylus.

I misplaced my original Apple Pencil that I have used for the last year and this is the replacement. Works great as did the first. They are really hard to keep track of. I have tried different cases that attach to my iPad Pro 12" (with keyboard ) -and separate cases and still haven't found a good solution. I wish Apple would built something into the iPad case or a 3rd party would add to their keyboards and cases.

Love it! Great for art, fun etc. Easy to install and figure out what/how to do. I started with Adobe photoshop app and loving trying sektching different things. I just wish they'd lower the price to 69.99 or something.

All I can say is this is the perfect tool. I love to write my notes by hand especially when journaling or in a class. (the sound of keys clicking is sometimes disturbing to other students). I love the pencil and have purchased a case with a section to carry it, so it is always available for when I need it!
Just wish it came in other colors :( Apple - here's your next challenge!!!!!! How about Pencil wraps?

The Apple Pencil 1st gen is awesome as an accessory to my iPad 8 . The functionality of the pencil while drawing is accurate and smooth. But I have had issues with all 4 pencils I have purchased. After a few months the just stop working. No damage as I’m very careful with my pencil. But Best Buy has been amazing and has replaced each pencil I’ve had trouble with. So far this new one is working great , unfortunately I have to return my spare as it too has quit .

This pencil is very handy to use with the iPad. Convenient and easy to use. Feels like a real pencil. Only complaint is that you can’t use it with your iPhone

After getting used to it, now I can't use anything but! Too bad I can't use it on iPhone and also it's a little pricey. But the joy in using it on my iPad is worth it to me!

Apple did a great job making a product that is comparable, if not superior, to the surface pro stylus. I love the look, the weight, and especially the speed and precision while writing. The one and only thing I wish they had added to it was some type of way to determine the % charged without having to have it connected to the iPad. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't work with all apply products--- I.e iPhone and iPad.

Replacement for my first Apple Pencil (Gen 1) I only had for not a full year that stopped working and this one has been cared for ever since. It's a great price and works perfectly with the iPad Pro 10.5 inch, so not the newer iPad Pro, and is a lot more affordable than the second generation Apple Pencil. Would get this one if I had the newer iPad Pro version as well.

Writes great and very sensitive. Will say I have a surface as well and the Apple screen picks up my hand more than the surface for contact I don't want showing up. However love the feel of the pencil and overall great add to the Pro. Not the thing that drive me crazy is the charging can not do both at the same time and you are sure going to break the end off of it one day that is for sure. However I think it is something you need to have.
