    Used this pencil for school & it works very well. It is a good quality pencil that gets the job done. The only thing I dislike is the pencil is long so you may need to adjust your fingers for a better grip on the pencil if you don’t have bigger hands.

    I love the feel and daintiness of the pencil itself, it’s so easy to use and I love using it to take notes and play HayDay. I did have some issues with connectivity after it was dropped but no issues after that. I don’t like that it doesn’t charge directly from the iPad and only stays magnified to the one side.

    Could use a discount but still a good stylus

    The price is not great considering it’s still the same price it was when it launched and we have had the second gen Apple Pencil for a while now. It’s especially a big punch in the gut when the second gen is on sale for cheaper (which it was when I purchased this in-store). With that being said, the product itself is still great. Had a little bit of trouble getting it to initially pair with a 7th gen iPad but otherwise it has been great and is a great virtually lagless stylus for drawing and writing. Would recommend if you’re using for digital art and/or taking notes.

    First time using an apple pencil and honestly it exceeded my expectations! Works just like new, glides seamlessly on my iPad and have had no issues whatever. Definitely a game changer for me in how I use my iPad.

    1st Generation Pencil Still Works

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

    I actually purchased two of these 1st generation pencils for my two devices…a IPad Pro and a 12.9. Although a relatively high price point in comparison to similar longer style stylus, it is still a tremendous value for a person that “hunts and pecks” when taking notes. There is something about the breathe and texture of the pencil as it rests in my hand that I can type significantly faster, as well as how itresponds to the keyboard extremely well either with the hard writing tip or the other end where you can use multiple 3rd party tips dedicated by the amount of pressure you prefer when typing. Very pleased, highly recommend for the person that cannot type with two hands, but wants the benefits of typing efficiently.

    The pencil is excellent. Unboxed it, charged and went right to work in Procreate. It's been a phenomenal help to my growing illustration work. Also huge thank you to the Best Buy in Murfreesboro, TN for always having kind, helpful associates! You rock!
