    The perfect iPad companion

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Writes smoothly on my ipad and it doesn't feel bulky or uncomfortable. The feel of it is smooth & its not heavy or weighing hand down.

    Perfect stylus, especially for taking notes. I use it very often as a pilot. Taking notes inflight is very convenient and the stylus makes it so easy.

    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.

    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 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 great. I use it almost everyday for school purposes and love it. Might seem expensive but it is definitely worth the price if you will use it often.

    Best pen

    best pen for tablets for the money. I am sure a better pen will come along but for now it is the most realistic pen. almost no noticeable latency, good control on pressure and speed, and good ergonomics for most hand sizes. Charges quickly also. This is the reason I got a new ipad.

    This is a great addition to my iPad Pro, but buyer beware, the Apple Pencil 2 will only work with select iPads. I use the pencil for work and it’s great for editing the maps I make as well as note taking. The flat side is a welcome addition so the pencil won’t roll off a table

    I'm not a super keen on Apple and its devices, but this is a simple concept taken to a very polished and high-level. It's intuitive sure, but it's also a joy to work with. Scribbling, taking notes, doodling, working on illustrations, it's a smooth operator.

    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.

    When we bought a 2021 12.9" ipad pro, the Apple pencil 2nd generation was recommended to us over other less expensive brands. It is easy to use, charges conveniently with a magnet on the latest ipad pro, and Best Buy had the lowest price. Highly recommended.

    I’m enjoying this expensive add-on….it’s an Apple product so it’s going to cost more. Works well with sketch/drawing apps. I haven’t discovered all it is capable of, but so far, for the money, it would be good at exactly 1/2 the price!

    I really use this to paint love the way it charges while you place it on side of the iPad. It is compatible with the iPad Mini, iPad Air, iPad Pro models nice to have but not a must have.
