    Bought this mostly to use for procreate with my new iPad and I love it. Super easy and charges just by placing next to the iPad. I bought a case for my iPad that has a spot for the pen so you never have to worry about it getting lost and it charges while it is just in the case. Perfect!

    Apple Pencil 2nd Gen WORTH the $$!!

    Apple Pencil (Gen 2 model) is the best pencil out there, IMHO. It’s best and most appealing feature is it’s ability to charge while being magnetized. Period. Hands down. No charger. No USB-C plug, no Bluetooth connection needed, no wifi connection needed. I simply attach it to the iPad it’s connected to and boom. Charges. I wondered if it had to be connected to the iPad. No. It doesn’t. Because my iPad was in use with a movie and I needed it for a project on my Mac and the battery was low. I attached to the refrigerator and in 15 min. Boom again. I had enough of s charge to continue my project and finish it within an hour. Best. Stylus. Pencil. Coloring marker. Highlighter. EVER If you still have the Gen 1 pencil. Put it down and go get s new one. It’s worth the upgrade. Don’t be stingy. You deserve the best. Period. Once again: Apple delivers.

    If you edit photos or make graphic designs on an ipad then this is a must!!!!! I Love that it magnetically attaches to the ipad itself and charges using the iPads battery. I don't know how I lived without an Apple Pencil for so long.

    I love my Apple Pencil! I use it all the time I can’t imagine using Pages or Acrobat without it. Awesome battery power, easily attaches to iPad and there’s cool sleeves to personalize it. I will also comment Best Buy’s service is always at an all time high when it comes to customer satisfaction. Thanks Best Buy!

    After trying both the first generation and now the new version, I am glad they fixed all the shortcomings of the older version. The pencil is a lot nicer to hold, wireless charging and no longer have the cap and weird way to charge the pencil. Definitely worth the upgrade if you have the newer iPad Pros!

    I didn't get this for my Mini iPad a year ago, but did get one for my wife's new iPad Pro. In retrospect, I should probably have gotten one for myself and while I still could, it is a tad pricey. The pencil is really nice and is conveniently held in place on the device. Still debating whether to get one for myself or steal my wife's.

    Works like a dream! I love it! It recharges much better than the old Apple Pencil as well no more hoping it doesn’t fall out of the side recharger. Now it just one slap to the top of the new iPad and you’re good to go. It keeps its charge very well too.

    I was skeptical of an Apple Pencil before buying one today, this thing is amazing. I felt like I was using an actual pencil and writing is so much fun! Drawing is very enjoyable with this and even coloring as a relaxing activity. It is still on the expensive side for my taste but very high quality and good battery life!

    I’m sure I’m not even beginning to tap into the usefulness of this pencil, but what I can do with it, I’m impressed. It’s easy to use, I like how magnets hold it to the top of the ipad and charges. I discovered I can tap the side of it to switch to eraser and back to writing. It’s the little things.

    Exceptional piece of technological engineering! I purchased a second Apple Pencil for my iPad mini 6. I find it more convenient to have a pencil for my iPad Pro and iPad mini. I would recommend this to anyone with an iPad or multiple iPads.

    Great sequel to the first Apple Pencil

    Although on the expensive end, if you ever felt like you needed a stylus or a pencil for any of the work or activities that you do with your iPad Pro, then this is the top of the line. There are other more affordable pencils that can do most of what this pen does, but it's undeniable that the response time of this pencil is above and beyond other pencils. Other feature the Apple Pencil has over the competition is pressure sensitivity and a double tab to switch back and forth between pencil and eraser. The thing I love the most is the convenience of charging it by just sticking it to the side (through magnet) and ease of just pulling it out and using it at any time (in comparison to the first generation Apple Pencil).

    I recommend the Apple Pencil to most iPad users. Even if you don’t like to draw or write, the Apple Pencil is a wonderful experience. Speaking as someone who has awful handwriting, I find myself taking more handwritten notes in meetings still after having the Apple Pencil. Why? Because it’s fun! Being able to draw on something that (kinda) feels like a piece of paper again brings back the enjoyment of note-taking versus just typing away on a keyboard. I’d definitely give the Apple Pencil a try if it fits in your budget.

    I don't draw with the Apple Pencil but I still really like the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen. I usually use it for taking notes or if I don't want to use my finger. Additionally, I like that it just sticks to the side of the iPad while charging at the same time.

    This is a super cool and handy tool! I’m able to scribble a quick note instead of having to type it out. I like the ease of changing the color of the “lead” and erase when needed. By magnetically attaching to the iPad, it’s always available and charged when I need it. I love it and highly recommend it!
