I'm super happy with this! I love that it can charge wirelessly, fits in my case, and has a great feel to it. There is a flat strip on the pencil that I noticed when I first started to use it, but now I'm used to it. I also love that it has pressure sensitivity, which doesn't come with the USB-C version. So if you like to draw or need pressure sensitivity for anything and your iPad isn't compatible with the 1st gen, get this one!

Apple Pencil 2. A must own for Apple iPad users

If you have the newest version of the iPad where Apple Pencil 2 works, you have to get it! It works like a dream and changes the experience of using the iPad entirely. I find myself using this on my new iPad with the M2 chip more than I do on my laptop at times. It's that good! Don't get this if you have an older iPad since you can't take full advantage of its key features. It goes on sale from time to time on BestBuy's site or just pull the trigger on purchasing it. You won't regret it!

This is my second Apple Pencil- it’s so great to use I had to buy my wife one- I love them. The weight is perfect and does well for drawing, coloring, and pressure when using it.

I got the latest iPad Air so I figured why not get all the latest items that work with it. The Apple Pencil is definitely a nice to have and eliminates finger prints all over you iPad screen. It connects nicely the Magic Keyboard as well.

The pencil completes the package.
So far I only use it when taking notes on a pdf in a meeting but hope to get used to it more and more apps like Photoshop. I use it with a keyboard case that turns the iPad Pro into a laptop or separate as just a tablet. The case has a topside slot by the keyboard for the pencil and it charges on the top side of the iPad. It usually stays in the slot as I don't use it much but hope to get used to using it more as I learn the iPad.
Holds a charge for quite a while of non use. When I do use it, it seems to stay charged long enough to work with it for a long time, like probably as much as 8 hr of straight use. It's got a good pencil like feel and not a hunk of plastic.
The case I show in the pic is highly recommended. Not saying the name. You can hunt it down easy enough going to a-to-z.

Bought this to go along with my husband’s new 12.9 iPad Pro and my husband loves it so much. He fought the idea of using a pen with an iPad for years claiming that it lacks the comfort and detail in comparison to a traditional pen. Well now this is all that he uses for everything. This is the sugar to your cool aid, never use an iPad with the pen ever again!

This is my experience using the Apple Pencil but it's exceeded my expectations! In the past, I dreaded using digital pens/stylus because there was always a slight lag or not accurate to touch. I've been so impressed by the Apple pencil on the iPad. Especially with the new updates, it has been a dream using this for note-taking and graphic design work. High recommended!

I used my first one of these for years daily. However I dropped it and the tip broke off. I bought replacement tips but apparently something else broke inside the old pencil. I had dropped it hundreds of times before with no issues so it was just bad luck. This one synced up perfect right away and I've been using it since. I'm a Musican and teacher and use my iPad for all my music and teacher copies of text books. This works great for annotation. I wouldn't be without it!

I absolutely love this Apple Pencil. I had gotten a dupe in the meantime while I waited for the Apple Pencil to go on sale. I can definitely tell the difference, however the dupe was really good also so if you’re reading this review and are looking for a cheaper option, the Penoval AX Pro is really good. But I Absolutely love the Apple Pencil!
