    I use the Apple Pencil with my iPad Pro 10.5. It feels like you’re writing with an actual pen and paper. Stays charged for a while and get a indication on the device when is about to die. Only downside is the way the charges. I don’t like to plug it into my iPad charger because it’s your fault and that means that the port will actually break. It does come with an adapter to charge it.

    Works very well. Daughter likes it. Apple products are very expensive. Best Buy staff was very helpful.

    Excellent pencil for using on a iPad. I have both of the pencils and they work well on my 2 different iPads. Would recommend to anybody who likes to write or draw.

    I’ve never been one for drawing but my job has me creating teaching material so I thought I’d give this a shot. Pretty neat gadget and have enjoyed using it. Easy to learn and use but I’m from a getting paid for my work

    I absolutely love the pencil, so I purchased one for my granddaughter to go with the IPad Pro I purchased for her (for graduation). You must get the pencil, if you have the IPad Pro. It is awesome!! I don't know why Apple waited so long to produce this product. I would highly recommend it.

    This pencil is incredibly smooth and it is the best stylus that I have purchased. With the use of the Apple Pencil and an iPad, it allows for note taking to be intriguing and simple. I would definitely recommend the purchase of this Pencil with a compatible device.

    What can I say, it's super to easy to use. It connects quickly with the iPad . Tip wears down after a while but that's no issue for me (I use a paper like screen protector) It doesn't skip lines and very smooth

    I love how realistic this pencil feels to writing on paper. Its so good that I ditched paper. I only wish I had this as a University student.

    I got a new iPad for Christmas. The main reason I wanted it was the ability to use the I-pencil with it. I love the ability to take notes directly on the screen...and the ability to draw, color, and paint with it is cool! Very precise! Highly recommend!

    Perfect companion for iPad Pro

    Very convenient companion for the iPad Pro. The battery charges fast, and the life is good. The iPad will alert you when the pen battery is low. The Only thing i would like to see is a tether for the cap when the pen is charging. Would be very easy to lose it, if you arent careful.

    Best stylus on the market

    I have more than a few versions of stylus (Jot, surface, dell, etc.) for W10 and ios...by far the best, most natural feel, is the Apple pencil. Of course, this is as much about the marriage to the iPad Pro and its capabilities as anything else...I just wish I didn't keep losing them!

    Easy to use and connect to my iPad, doesn't take too long to charge. I just wish it had different nibs you could maybe screw on, so it could feel like you're writing with something different. I haven't really figured out how to use it with the app procreate yet.

    It is great quality. Battery life runs out without even using it though. Don't use as much as I thought I would. Great pressure sensitivity though. Great product, but I ended up not needing it. I'd recommend to someone who knows they'll draw or right a lot for sure.

    'I love my new I-pad. Had a few glitches but they were resolved quickly by the Geek squad. One of them was especially helpful but I can’t remember his name. It started with a V.

    I am sure you get tired of me reviewing because I have nothing negative to say about the South Elgin Best Buy, ever. We were in this store on Thanksgiving Eve. This has been a tradition for us, go to Best Buy, and watch the crowds, see the big ticket items and wander to see if anything perks our fancy. This time, I had my heart set on an iPad pen, call it what you will. This was a spontaneous buy, but I couldn’t find any on the shelves. Griffin Yee happened to be walking by, asked if I needed help, went to t he back stock room, I assume and found me one of these. When we checked out, we were greeted by a salesperson that remembered us from a previous shopping trip. I chose to believe her memories were positive, instead of thinking the worst. As usual, service is outstanding, and the whole trip was great.

    I bought an IPad Pro, and the pencil was on sale, so I bought it as well. It’s interesting to be able to draw on the screen and produce artistic masterpieces, or record important notes, It has been useful and entertaining , and I’m glad I bought it.

    I love this little gadget. Becuase of it I purchased my ipad. I am a student, and it allowed me to take notes all in one place without logging books and papers around. I use the notability app that allows me to upload pdfs and write notes directly on them with a pen. The only thing I would criticize is the pencil cover, it can get lost between charging if you are not too careful

    I am picky about the pencils and pens that I use which is why I went to Best Buy to see what there was to offer. This pencil is easy to hold comfortable and writes very meticulously. I am glad that I bought this pencil.
