    Apple pencil 1st generation. Works great, excellent value, easy to use and easy to charge. I like that the charger is built in to the pencil so no need to keep up with a cord.

    This has worked well. I only wish it wasn't so expensive. I also wish Apple made more things compatible with their products, stopped taking away ports and made things more durable.

    Is this overpriced? For sure it is, however with the extra money spent you definitely get the piece of mind that what you're using is 100% designed to work with your iPad. My wife uses this for multiple different apps and the pressure sensitivity of the apple pencil gives it a great response to whatever you're using it for.

    The pencil was a Christmas gift for my daughter. She loves the Apple pencil. It is compatible with her iPad and has more features than the off-brand pencil she was using.

    I was skeptical at first with the price tag being as high as it is, and I looked into some of the lesser known competitors products, but in the end you get what you pay for and the apple pencil just performs so well it was really no contest.

    My son loves drawing on this iPad Air with the pencil. I agree with the general criticism of the first generation pencil--the cap is easily lost and the charging method is unwieldy, unless you buy an aftermarket charger. However, the pencil works well for drawing.

    Happy to Have This Pencil

    One of my main reasons of upgrading from my iPad Air 2 was for the ability to use this pencil with my iPad. I recently bought a new iPad 8th generation and cloud not wait to order this. I run an online business and needed the pencil to make much needed notes for orders and designs. I was not disappointed in this Apple product. The price was lower due to being the 1st generation but still worth the increase from other brands. It does what I needed and I’m sure it does more. I’m in the process still of learning what it does and seemed to use it more than I ever thought I would. It’s worth the money and was worth the wait.

    Fun to have but a glorified stylus for me

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It’s well made and sleek, but if you aren’t using it to draw it’s a pricey stylus. It’s cool how it charges in the lightening connector in the iPad Pro. It charges fast. My thinking was it was a must have if I’m buying an iPad Pro with all the capabilities it has when using the pencil. Hoping it will prove more worthwhile in the future.

    I like to plan my work with a todo list, but I don't like any of the existing ones. So, I created my own with the Apple Pencile and a drawing app. That way my list is in front of me and each item can be checked off just like it was paper.

    This pencil is advertised. Really easy to use, battery life is long, and fit & finish is what's expected from Apple. What's up with the size though? Samsung and Microsoft's released their product before Apple also.

    I bought this to go with my new 6th gen iPad, and it works like a charm. it's a must buy for digital artists, IMO. Using this in conjunction with the iPad is a much less expensive alternative to a Wacom Cintiq tablet.
