    Gotta get the pen if you have an iPad. Feels natural in my hand and magnetically sticks to the side of the iPad. It’s great!

    Honestly I’m not used to the whole pencil just yet but I can say that it’s really good even as a first timer. It’s a really good tool to write your notes on your iPad when you don’t want to type and a good way to keep the screen clean as well if you don’t want to scroll with your fingers.

    I have been a fan of the Apple Pencil for several years now. This 2nd generation is smoother to use as well as WAAAY easier to charge and store than the 1st generation.

    It’s expensive for a pencil...yes. But, I can honestly say that it was worth the purchase. My problem in the past with stylus is that they do not smoothly go across the screen, there is latency in the time I write vs the time it actually shows up on the screen, and my hand would inevitably touch the screen a mess everything up. With the Apple Pencil I have none of those problems. It runs smoothly across my iPad, the response is almost instantaneous, and best of all, many applications support the option to have your hand gestures do different things than pencil motions. So for example if I am drawing and want to rest my hand on the iPad like I would with paper, then I can, and the iPad will only look for the pencil when drawing. Also, in many applications I can do things like scroll or zoom with my hand, and then write with the pencil. The way apple has separated how their devices react differently between your hand and the pencil makes it worth the price.

    Grabbed this to go with my shiny, new iPad Pro. Works just like the real thing, and I love that it charges wirelessly. If I had to gripe about anything, it would be the price. These should be included with iPad Pros as a standard accessory, but that's Apple for you! Either way, great pencil and a great purchase nonetheless. It certainly makes drawing and taking notes so much easier on the iPad Pro. Word of caution, it does not work very well with a glass screen protector. It feels too "slippery." I opted to go with a matte screen protector, and it feels like I am actually writing on paper.

    It’s nice to have flat on one side, stick to iPad for instant charging, double-tap button gesture. It’s still white, no other color option.

    I tried off-brand pencils and while they worked there was always a feature (or three) missing. I hunkered down and brought the OG and I could not be happier. Works exactly as intended - as most apple products do. Nothing against those off-brand pencils, but if you want the real deal...buy the real deal!
