Customers are saying

Customers regard the product highly for its exceptional ease of use, strong overall performance, and efficient charging capabilities. Its excellent compatibility with the iPad, good battery life, and accuracy for tasks like drawing and note-taking are also frequently highlighted. However, the price is a significant concern for many, and some users have reported issues with the tip's durability and connection. While lag is generally not a problem, a few customers find its size to be a drawback.

    This thing is great! Charges well, magnetic link is far more reliable and convenient than having the pencil dangling out of the charging port. Feels good to write with, and accuracy is good. Recommend a screen protector like Paperlike for a truly enjoyable writing experience.

    This Apple Pencil goes hand and hand with the Apple iPad 10th generation. I have been using this pencil every semester and it has never let me down, especially with its battery life.

    The Apple Pencil is extremely useful in terms of: you don’t get even close as tired writing with this pencil like you do if you’re writing on paper with a regular pencil, and I love that because I write ALOT of notes. This thing is amazing.

    Love the functionality of this Apple Pencil. My only issue is that it does not stay connected to the magnetic side of my iPad Pro where the issue tends to be it gets knocked off easily. I did not use my iPad Pro for a period of time and didn’t realize the pencil wasn’t fully connected. The pencil has since had a dead battery and will no longer pair to my iPad. Apple support said this will happen if the pencil is not charged for a period of time resulting in an absolute dead battery. The only fix, is to get an entire new pencil. Therefore the deduction of one star. Other than that the ease of use and ability to free draw has been awesome. I do however wish they would find a better way for the Apple Pencil to stay secured.

    You’re missing out on a lot of functionality if you have an iPad but no stylus. If your iPad is compatible with it, the Apple Pencil 2 is worth the premium over the 3rd party alternatives. The way the Apple Pencil 2 snaps to side of the iPad and charges magnetically is awesome, as is the fact that I have never had to re-pair it my iPad.

    This pencil works just the way I need. Perfect! Easy to charge and easy to use. I bought a cheaper pencil (no much cheaper) and was hard to charge and harder to use. I recommend buying this to use with iPad if you need one!

    I haven’t used it that much due to not being an artist. But have used it to take notes and hi light things in my digital text book for school. I was originally worried as to how it would charge or if I had to get a new one if it died. But it just magnetizes to the edge of the iPad and instantly starts charging. I’m personally glad I got it. I think it’s over priced for what it is. Unless you use it way more than I do. Then it would seem reasonable. But a fantastic device like everything else Apple.

    I was using a knock-off previously and just not getting the results I wanted - without having tried it, I gambles on the Apple Pencil. And... IT ROCKS. It feels like everything it's supposed to be, maybe even better. It's got 0 lag on my iPad Pro, it's responsive, the pressure and tilt sensitivity lets me get amazing lines the first time. It's light, and feels much like drawing with a real pencil or drafting pencil. My only regret is waiting so long to pick one up.

    Best stylus for the iPad Pro and Air

    The only stylus you need for the iPad Pro. It's the flagship simply because it charges magnetically (not sticking in the bottom like the goofy version 1 Pencil) and the double tap gesture is really nice when optimized in the apps.
