    I've used dozens of styli on the iPad and others systems.The Apple Pencil is far and away the best. The pressure sensitivity is spot on, and there is virtually zero input lag. I primarily use the pencil for annotating PDF documents and simple sketches:

    Works well with the IPAD Pro! Amazingly useful. I just filled out a form today and sent it off without having to print the form out. Lots of fun when used to draw. Just wish that it had an eraser function. Otherwise. very happy with this purchase.

    This is a very nice pen but a little pricey. I had to buy accessories to keep the charger cap from losing. This pen is very responsive although there was one time it was unresponsive but I charge it to the iPad and it worked again thus it is only getting a 4 star. The battery lasts for a whole day with constant use. I mainly use this to write notes and highlight stuff in notability.

    I have enjoyed using the Apple Pencil. I paired the Smart Keyboard up with the Otter Symmetry clear case to protect the back of the iPad. It also has a place to hold the Apple pencil. That makes a big difference having a place to hold the pencil.

    This pencil is perfect for drawing with on the iPad Pro. It feels so natural like a real pencil which makes drawing easy and fun. It takes the place of every drawing instrument you would need for hard lines, shading, pin lines, etc... Great product!

    I purchased this product to write notes for my college classes, and I have loved every second of using it. It works perfectly for writing notes in class and feels natural to hold. All in all, an amazing product.

    Best functionality for any iPad user at the best price. Each time I gift an iPad I make sure to include the pencil. Best for notetaking and art projects.

    The Apple pencil compliments many apps made for the iPad pro. Unlike the iPad Air the iPad pro has a lot of use for the pencil due to the size of the screen. The sensitivity is great and it recognizes the differences between your finger and the pencil immediately.

    I have used a stylus with a few apps and wondered what the Apple pencil would be like. I like using it with Adobe apps and Microsoft Word and Notebook. I can jot notes and otherwise navigate my iPad Mini with ease.

    I like this pencil well enough and it's easy to pair and use. I just use it to take notes and it works fine for that, although it's a little cumbersome. I'm not an artist or anything so I don't really use it to it's full potential but it works great for taking notes (a little pricey for that, though. C'mon Apple, how about a no frills cheaper version?

    The Apple Pencil is an accurate, speedy utensil for iPad Pro users. It is by far the best stylus available for the iPad. I wish it was easier to charge it without using the adapter or plugging it in the iPad's lightning port awkwardly. If there's a pencil, why isn't there an eraser? Maybe you should wait for the next version if you want wireless charging and an eraser!

    Battery life lasts a long time. Feels like a regular #2 pencil. Would purchase again. Only con is the way it charges, I don’t use my iPad during that time, in fear of the charging port breaking off.

    The Apple pen is a great addition to my IPad Pro. Not only does it provide precision with its touch but it keeps my screen much cleaner. Charges very quickly and a charge goes a long way! Perfect if you like to sketch in any of the art apps. Love it!

    I am still in awe of this Pencil! It's like having a dozen different medias in one slim tool (paint, marker, pencil, pen). It is also great to use when simply navigating around the iPad in email and other non-art related apps. It is an incredible tool!
