    This pencil is much more convenient than the generation 1 pencil. Since it charges on the side of my iPad mini 6, it is always ready to go!

    I’m not normally a person to use a stylus. That being said this thing is handy when doing just about any navigating on the iPad. Especially with the announcement of desktop class web browsing coming with the next update, this will help even more. Charge lasts a decent amount of time depending on the usage. Doesn’t charge as fast as the first generation, but so much better than having to spear the bottom of the iPad.

    It has been such an efficient tool for my ipad especially while studying at college. Research based assignments as well as calculus assignments have been much more easier to understand with the help of this pencil.

    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are an artist. I am an artist and my hands would cramp a lot of drawing with my fingers, especially when it came to detailing. You can always get a different brand but I loved that this one charges when you attach it to the side of your iPad. If you can get an open-box definitely get it.

    To start off I love this accessory! Which is a relief since my iPad Air (2020) was built around this accessory. The accuracy is amazing with this and everything about using is really good at translating your movements to be incredibly lifelike in its ways of simulating a pencil. The only gripe I have coming over from a Microsoft surface is not using the blunt end of the pencil as an eraser. It was so natural to do and I miss that functionality dearly. Double tapping the side just is not as intuitive as just flipping the pencil.

    Awesome device that makes drawing on iPad so much more intuitive and opens the door to creativity. Apple prices it far too high in my opinion, but I was able to get an Open Box one from Best Buy that made the price easier to manage.

    Amazing. I tried alternative brand of pencil, but went back to the Apple brand Pencil. It’s much more smooth, no lag, no problems. The 2nd generation is neat. The magnetic feature to charge is nice and not in the way. Also, the double tap feature to quickly change to an eraser helps improve productivity. Satisfied with this pencil
