    Having had IPads for many years. I always thought a $100 stylus (Pen) was a silly purchase. After upgrading to the A16 IPad I noticed an Insignia pen for 1/3 $’s . I felt , why not try it out. I’m glad I did it’s lots of fun. Drawing, keeping fingerprints off ect. Thy it you may like it.

    I bought this pencil, as replacement for an Apple branded pencil that I thought I lost (just misplaced) and it was a nice replacement. While it doesn't charge wirelessly I am okay with plugging charging via a USB C cord. I am keeping this pencil to use with my new iPad Mini and including the Apple Pencil with the older iPad I am selling on eBay. In all I am very happy this item, especially for the price.
