    Great buy for the value and for the features … love the usb-c integration to the pencil for seamless connection. I did loose a tip but there’s actually a 4 pack for less than 8$ . Compared to Apple Pencil and performance was matched in latency and comfort.

  • LED always on

    Worked well as a stylus, but an LED remains illuminated on the stylus the whole time you're using it. It is distracting and even agitates me that some of the small battery is being used to power it.

    Loved the magnetic feature and lightweight, unfortunately being left-handed didn't allow full use since the tip was extremely firm and didn't make full contact.

    I see some reviews where people say have to use the pen at an angle. That’s because they’re probably using if with ghe iPad mini A17 Pro which is doesn’t work with unless you place the pen at an angle. The description here on the website/app doesn’t mention that the pen is not compatible with rhe iPad mini A17 Pro. Didn’t know this until i received the pen started using it with issues not working correctly and then realized it on the side of the box it clearly states it cannot be used with fhe iPad mini 17 Pro. So this item was returned.

    I bought this pencil as I heard it was a good alternative to the Apple Pencil. I have a PaperLike screen protector on my ipad mini (a17) and the Insignia pencil worked great for about a month and then stopped working. My ipad no longer recognized that I was trying to write, even with the pencil fully charged.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding the Insignia™ Active Stylus. We are sorry to hear that you experienced issues with the stylus after just a month of use. We strive to provide high-quality products, and it's disappointing to learn that our stylus did not meet your expectations.

      To help us better understand the situation, we would appreciate any additional details you could provide, such as the specific troubleshooting steps you attempted or if there were any particular conditions under which the issue occurred. Your input will assist us in improving our products and addressing potential concerns.

      If you have not already done so, we recommend checking the following:
      1. Ensure the stylus is fully charged.
      2. Restart your iPad to see if it recognizes the stylus again.
      3. Confirm that the PaperLike screen protector is properly applied and not interfering with the stylus functionality.

      If the stylus continues to be unresponsive, we encourage you to reach out to our customer support team for further assistance. We value your satisfaction and would like to explore options for a resolution.

      Thank you for choosing Insignia, and we hope to hear from you soon. BBY-ExBrand_Insignia
