    As an Apple consumer, I bought this item knowing that I could very well search for other alternatives that are more affordable, but I didn't because at this time, there are far too many limitations with said affordable options and other alternative options are for pro artists or any other type of pros that I am not. So bite the bullet and get this if you really need to write and all of that on your iPad pro. As a college student, I recommend it but I'm still waiting for other affordable alternatives to appear. Until then, this is the best companion an iPad Pro can have.

    The Apple pencils will change your life if you want to eliminate the annoying fingerprints from touching your screen or take your art to the next level. It is very responsive and comfortable to use for house. Only downside is there is a connector to keep track of if you want to charge it via usb/lightning. You can skip that and plug it right into your iPad if you wish.

    Great product that works effectively with the I Pad I also purchased at the same time. A little fiddly to charge and there is no way to turn the battery off in it so be careful it is charged when you need to use it. You need to plug it into the I pad and need to watch it doesn't get knocked or bumped as it may snap off.

    Better than Apple Pencil 2

    I bought this as a present for my mom and her early iPad Pro after I purchased the Apple Pencil 2 for me. I like that, with the Apple Pencil 1, you have several ways to charge it. Mine only charges by placing it on my iPad Pro 11". She has thoroughly enjoyed it and all the apps she can use with it. Her only problem now is not enough memory on her iPad! ;0)

    I'm still not sure why a stylus with a pencil point wouldn't work just as well, but I can say that my son LOVES drawing with the Apple Pencil just as much if not more than on paper with a real pencil. I was able to get an "open box" which cut the $100 piece considerably. It's a little on the high side price wise, but if you consider what you would pay for art supplies, it probably evens out.

    It needs a clip...and it's a bit longer than a Bic, so it tends to be clumsy in a breast pocket. Otherwise it is a marvel of simplicity, elegance, utility.
