Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've really been enjoying the 1st Gen Apple Pencil. I started dabbling in digital art on my 10th Gen iPad, and this is the only stylus that allows me to draw with both tilt and pressure sensitivity across all the most popular drawing apps, including Procreate. The weight feels good to hold, like a heavier pen. The tip works well. I added a screen protector to mimic a paper-like feel, and I haven't noticed any extra wear or tear on the tip from the more textured surface. The cap on the end that covered the lightning connector can magnetically attach to your iPad while charging the pencil. Some of the other features on the 2nd Gen pencil might be nice perks, but this offers everything you need for note taking and drawing.

Works great for older iPad. I have an iPad Pro 1st Gen 9.7” A1673 model. At first it wouldn’t connect but once I made sure the Bluetooth was on I used the cable and adapter that comes with the pencil and plugged it into the iPad and then to the pencil. Right away I got a pop up on the iPad to pair the pencil. I do a lot of photo editing and making videos and marketing flyers for work. This pencil makes it a lot easier. Very happy with purchase.

The Apple Pencil is hands down the best stylus I’ve ever used. It’s super responsive, and writing or drawing feels incredibly smooth almost like pen on paper. I use it daily for notes and sketching, and the precision is amazing. The magnetic charging (on newer models) is a nice touch, and I love that it just snaps onto the iPad. It’s not cheap, but for students, artists, or anyone who writes a lot, it’s absolutely worth it.

This is an excellent Apple Pencil! I love how smoothly it glides, making it easy to draw and write. Well worth the money. I also like that it comes with two adapters for charging purposes, a usb-c and a lightening cable. The design is sleek and comfortable, but it can be a little slippery so I put a pencil grip on mine to give me a better grip.

works great, easy to use, and doesnt die quickly, takes it a while

If you have a device that is only compatible with the Gen 1 or USB-C variant, get a Gen 1. Pressure Sensitivity is a must if you plan to sketch or color in apps like procreate, I have an iPad Mini 7 with a Pro Pencil, as well as an iPad Pro 12.9” and Gen 2, I can easily say the Gen 1 only lacks in the wireless charging arena (got this for my daughter’s 9th and 10th Gen iPads. It does a very comparable job when drawing/coloring and holds a charge very well. All-in-all, the Apple Pencil is a must have if you like to doodle on an iPad. Always be sure to check compatibility on Apple’s website before purchasing one though!

Love my Apple pencil!!! Works great on my iPad and the battery lasts a long time.

I really enjoyed this pencil, I am an artist and this pencil made drawing on the iPad so much fun. I loved the pressure sensitivity and everything! It did quit on me a few months later, but it was most likely a connection issue on my end, so no stars are deducted, lol. I got an Apple Pen second gen as a replacement, it sucked. If you want to make digital art, go for this pen!!!

Overall, the Apple Pencil is an excellent stylus that is well worth the price. It is precise, comfortable, and easy to use. If you are looking for a way to get the most out of your iPad, the Apple Pencil is a must-have accessory. Here are some of the pros and cons of the Apple Pencil: Pros: Incredibly precise Comfortable to use Easy to pair and charge Wide range of compatible devices Cons: Expensive Can be difficult to find Not compatible with all iPads If you are looking for a high-quality stylus that is compatible with your iPad, the Apple Pencil is a great option. However, it is important to note that it is a premium product and it comes at a premium price.

Hooked up fast and easy to my iPad . Writes fine. Charging is easy. All and all it is definitely a cheaper alternative to the other one I had, & lost.

Overall pretty good works well with the tablet. Replaceable tip if needed (bonus). The charging cap and sleeve are a bit of a pain just to keep track of, but not a show stopper. Battery life is good but has no indicator for battery life on pen. Again not a show stopper. Overall worth the money

Best pencil for iPad, easy to use and battery life is great.

Easy to use. Quick recharging time. Very useful tool.

This works great with my iPad. It connected very easily and writes really well. I use it for note taking during classes and it seems to hold battery well. It also charges extremely fast. The charging tip does feel a little fragile, so I think you just need to be a careful with it while charging.

I recently used the Apple Pencil (1st Generation) with the USB-C to Pencil Adapter, and I’m pleased with how well it performs. The Apple Pencil (1st Generation) with the USB-C to Pencil Adapter is a highly effective and versatile tool for anyone involved in digital art, note-taking, or creative work. The combination of precision, comfort, and compatibility, along with the added flexibility of the USB-C adapter, makes this set a worthwhile investment. Whether you’re upgrading to a new iPad or simply looking to enhance your creative workflow, this Apple Pencil setup delivers excellent performance and value.

I’ve been using the Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) for a few months now, and I absolutely love it! The precision is incredible—whether I’m sketching, taking notes, or marking up documents, it feels natural and accurate. The pressure sensitivity and tilt function make drawing a breeze, and it’s a huge upgrade compared to other styluses I’ve used.

This pencil works great with the iPad Air for general use. I don’t use it for artistic stuff for which I believe the pro would be better. Best Buy had it on sale, and I used curbside delivery, which was quick and friendly. Plus, I do t have to use an adapter like I did with the original Apple Pencil.

Was hard as all get out to pair/set up. Had to recheck a dozen times to make sure I had ordered the correct pen (which I did, its for my daughter's 10th gen iPad). Watched a half a dozen Youtube Videos that all had me doing something differently. After taking to 3 different avid Apple product users, I gave up. My daighter ended up taking it to daycare, and by the Grace of God her daycare teacher actually paired it for us; it had to have an App (which is not mentioned in the product listing here on BB and is not mentioned in the instructions in the box either!!) The pen itself works okay- my 10yr old daughter uses it for animation apps and adult coloring book apps. The battery life is decent, a full overnight charge usually lasts her about 6 hours of use. I wish my daughter wasn't so, picky or I'd have just ordered a regular stylus. Works about the same overall, plus no need to charge a stylus. Basically just paying for a brand.

I hate doing these after I buy an item online here but I’ll give my honest opinion on the item anyway. The pen Works really well so far! Had it for two years my last one before I had to replace it with an other new one, but that was me being careless about it, wasn’t being careful at all with it but still, it works really well! But there will be times it might stop working, but that’s mostly a reminder that it’ll need to charge soon. Just unplug the cap and stick it in the IPad charger hole and the pen will activate again. It’s pretty useful as well if you plan to use it as an Art styles pen for your IPad, well if you plan to draw on any generation 7 to 10 IPads. Those would need the first generation apple pen mostly. That’s all I got for it!

This pencil has long lasting battery, works great with my ipad. Easy installation, easy to use. The charging is a little odd, comes with two small adapters, you have to take the cap off (put it in a safe place because it's small) Doesn't come with a charging cable. The battery life will show on the pairing device. It doesn't have any battery indicator on it. Charges fast, great performance.
