    This pen writes so smooth when doing notes and is very useful in photoshop,Lightroom and any other apps I find myself using it on. I love how you can customize your hand placement on the screen for how you write. Definitely gonna get a pencil grip for it. Having extra tips for the Apple Pencil is also a good purchase idea.

    The old pencil was nice but this one is great! It charges simply by attaching magnetically to the side of the iPad. It pairs instantly and shows charge status on screen when you dock it. It's now a single piece design with no cap to lose and you no longer have this long stick poking out of the lightning port on your iPad when charging. Writing and drawing are instant with very fast latency/responsiveness on screen.

    I love the apple pencil. I previously had the 1st generation one and this one is so much better because I don't have charge it as it automatically charged. Highly recommend over the 1st gen.

    This pencil works well, but is a bit pricey!

    I bought the Apple Pencil along with my iPad Pro in order to use Procreate and other design apps and programs. It works well and is pretty well adjustable in terms of settings. It works pretty seamlessly with my apps and doesn't take long to charge (being that the magnetic chargers are on the sides of the actual iPad itself). Having it always attached to the iPad while also charging is a big plus (so you're not constantly losing it or trying to locate it). That said, the price is pretty steep at basically $130. I'd still recommend it, just be prepared to shell out a pretty penny for it.

    I purchased 2 of these pencils. One for my mother and one for myself. I though oh what the heck, let’s see if they are worth it. They are. Love this thing. Works as expected. It has a long life where using it. It charges fast. My mother is 90 and it helps her navigate around her iPad.

    I used an off-brand apple pencil in the past and the sensitivity and gestures such as double tap wasn't good. Ordering through best buy was nice because of extra deals and it was a genuine apple product, not a fake. I've been using it for over 2 years without issue. Would order again.

    2nd Generation Pencil is better

    This product together with the iPad Pro is the perfect match. With this 2nd generation pencil, there are a number of great improvements like twice tapping of the pencil to allow you to switch pencil function. Plus I love the way to charge it by magnetic strip on the side of your iPad instead of the previous generation where it uses lightning charging. Kudos to apple to making it more convenient.

    I love my Apple Pencil. It works great on my iPad Pro. It doesn’t take long for it to get a full charge when I forget to put in on my iPad to charge. It fits good in my fingers. I really like this pencil. I love that I can write with it in a search bar as well as in notes and in just about any app.

    This pencil is a joy to hold and a joy to use. Any artist looking to maximize their use of an iPad Pro must have the product, it’s extremely precise and little no lag with the newest Pro models. The ability to wirelessly charge off the side of the tablet is also a welcome and useful addition, eliminating the cumbersome way of the last generation of pencil. Overall extremely pleased with my purchase.

    Comparing the two Apple Pencil I really like this one a lot more. It is slimmer it isn’t as slippery as the first gen. I also really love the fact that it charges on the top and not on the bottom like the first gen.I also love the fact that I am not having to worry about losing the cap!!

    This pen is the best pen, it allows you to write verses typing. I am old school and like to use pen and paper, it feels like I am writing notes. You can also draw with the pen. I absolutely love it. Great tool to have with your ipad.

    It just intuitively works how you would expect it to work. It’s expensive, but I use it constantly for work. Jotting notes quickly. Rough sketching a project for a customer in real time. And tons more. Just don’t lose it!

    Pros: I can take really good notes with this pencil. Especially combined with Good notes and Notability it feels like im writing on a notebook. With 120hz refresh it feels like there is no delay using the pencil. The battery life on this is amazing as well. Cons: The price for this pencil is very steep. You should primarily buy this if you are committed to exclusively using an ipad pro. For people who just use their ipad to watch videos/streams this is not worth it. It also is not very ergonomic using this for a long period of time hurts my hand so I suggest using

    This is perfect for Ipad Pro, simple and sleek design, works smooth and gets attached to magnetic pad on ipad, easy to use but should be cautious handling it as a small drop may destroy the tip.
