WORKS SO WELL! you won't regret it. I was going to buy an Apple pen, but one of the workers mentioned the Best Buy brand, so I got it, and it works amazingly! I use it for college to take notes, and I can go a week without needing to charge

This stylus works great. My first thought on getting a new iPad was that I needed an Apple Pencil, but after researching them, I realized that this would meet my needs for a stylus, as I do not do any drawing on my iPad. This works great, with immediate connectivity and long battery life. It came with extra tips, also. You do have to plug it up to charge it, but I haven’t had to do that yet.

I bought this brand and model of stylus instead of paying $50+ more for the Apple version. This stylus has worked well so far. Note that it can only be charged by a USB cable, that is, it does not have the wireless charging feature. I use the stylus on an iPad Air 5th Generation (2022, M1 Chip). The stylus works fine with the Notability (See the attached screenshot) and Freeform apps. You can also use it to tap on buttons such as on the calculator or in a card game.

worth the price. it’s comfortable to use and works great. I got my first iPad recently and having this has made everything so much easier. having the option to type or hand write whatever I want is really nice. it also makes a great tool for gaming, drawing and scrolling. I’ve really started using it for everything.

Works great! Good for whoever cannot afford the Apple pen.

It works great with my iPad 10th gen. It lasts long and makes tasks easier. Great quality!

Works just as good as the apple definitely recommended for a back up, I was able to still create my tattoo designs smoothly, pics are something I designed wit the pencil

I have never really needed to use a pen. But i really like this one. I use it mostly in cojunction with the Procreate app. It has been a bit of a learning curve but its a great pen

This pen is great. I am a broke college student and need to utilize my spending well. I can’t justify $130 on an apple pencil. This does almost exactly the same things. The setting optimizations in settings are almost the same as well. The ONLY DRAWBACK for me is the pen does not charge by sitting on the ipads magnet. Other than that it is wonderful. I use it for college note taking and occasional drawing. I love that you can use apple pen tips which makes it cheaper and cost efficient.cannot recommend it enough, for a budget this is great!

I cab write notes all day with my pen without it dying. I’m a nursing student!

I love it is good but writing is good for keeping my hand free from my tablet very useful

It's an amazing alternative if you don't to spend almost a 100 in apple pens like me and ur broke. It comes with a extra tip which is also amazing! It also fits into the spots where the pen would go. It also is magnetic to the ipad! I use this on my ipad 10 :)

I get people asking me about the stylus thinking its the apple pencil but when they find out its nearly the exact same and its a fraction of the price they are sold instantly.

Great pen. Works really well. Would recommend to buy at Best Buy

I LOVE this product, works better than my Apple Pencil sometimes. Would buy again if needed.

Functions very well without breaking the bank. Easily connects and user-friendly.

I really love this writing pencil. I can take notes when I need to or to just doodle. This is a very cool pen! It’s for my iPad 10th Generation. Keep up the good work!

Works as it should, magnet sticks on crooked which is the only down fall.

The build quality of this pencil is excellent. This feels premium to use at a price that is almost one third of the original cost of the apple pencil. This is handy to take notes and for precise taps on the screen especially while editing pictures. The only downside is that this doesn’t have the pressure sensitivity option, which means this cannot be used for pencil shading. But for writing, drawing this is fantastic. Pencil uses USB-C slot to charge and takes about 30 minutes to full charge and can last up to 15 hours. It comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable and no charger. The dual-colored LED indicator indicates when it needs to be charged. This also comes with a spare replaceable tip. More tips can be purchased as required and its really inexpensive. Model NS-APT4PKW. This is compatible with iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad and iPad mini. Its only compatible with iPads and doesn’t work on other tabs. (Though I knew, I just tried it anyway on Samsung Tab and it didn’t work as expected). What amazed me is how it connects to the iPad. Just double tap the pencil top to power-on and use it on the iPad. It just works. Double tap again to power-off. Overall, I am extremely happy with this pencil. It serves its purpose perfectly and as long as you don’t need to do pencil shading, this will suffice every need of an apple pencil at a much lower price point. I would definitely recommend it.

Do not over look this insignia stylus as it’s pretty nice. I’m using this stylus for work use and not drawing/creativity. My prior android tablet had a pen as well but it wasn’t as intuitive as apple and I didn’t like using it to much. In the box I received the stylus, a charging cable, and a replacement tip. The stylus feels just like the Apple Stylus but does not have the hefty price tag. It does magnetically connect to my iPad, but it does not charge this way so you have to use a plug. The battery life seems to be pretty good as I have used it off and on for a few hours through out the day and it’s still going. In the manual it says to push the button to turn it on, but it’s not a physical button you just tap the top of the stylus twice and it will turn on or off. This stylus works great! I opened the box and charged it right away, only took a few minutes to get to 100%. I thought i would have issues pairing it with my iPad, that was not an issue it just started working without any issue. My iPad gave me a quick tutorial on how to use the stylus and some of the features the iPad can use with it. I was surprised as this is not an Apple Stylus and seemed to be function as if it was one. If you are just using this for school/work/notes/etc I would recommend this stylus. If you are the creative type and do lots of drawing, art work, etc you might want to compare and make sure this would function for those creative task. I did play around with a sketchbook app and it worked fine, but I’m not an artist so I just drew some circles and scribbles. Overall I really like this stylus and it will work great for my needs. I’m also a big fan of insignia products they are priced right and made to last.
