Active Stylus
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Insignia Active Stylus is a real game-changer if you're after a good stylus but don't want to shell out too much cash. It's super responsive and makes writing or drawing on your device feel smooth and effortless. It's comfy to hold for long periods, thanks to its well-balanced design and nice grip. Plus, the battery life is fantastic, meaning you can use it for ages without needing to recharge. Although it doesn't have all the bells and whistles like pressure sensitivity and tilt functions that the more expensive styluses boast, it's perfect for daily tasks like note-taking, browsing, and simple sketches. It also works with a bunch of different devices, which is a huge plus. So, if you're looking for a stylus that offers great performance without breaking the bank, the Insignia Active Stylus is a solid bet. It's a reliable, no-fuss tool that does exactly what you need it to do, making it a great choice for students, professionals, or anyone in between. I plan on using this daily for drawing.

Defective battery - worked for only a week
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately this stylus worked for about a week, then the battery started dying after just 5-10 minutes of use. This is less than a month after purchase, and it turns out return policy is now only 14 days and Best Buy refused to budge on this at all. I needed to use it for class and my school is not near a Best Buy store so I ended up just biting the bullet and getting an Apple Pencil like I should have done in the first place. Of course I understand electronics sometimes have defects but literally every other store at least gives you 30 if not 60 days to check things out and make sure.

- Pros mentioned:Battery lifeCons mentioned:Pressure sensitivity
Light and good battery life of over 12 hours
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First the price point is very good and with a sale becomes phenomenal. No pressure sensitivity but hey the low price means that feature would be excluded. Another thing you get is an extra stylus tip but be careful when opening the bag with the charging cable as it is easy to lose the stylus tip if you rip the bag open. Also instructions says to double tap to turn on/off and I was double tapping the tip but it is really the top that must be tapped twice to turn on. I do light the charging light to let you know it is charging. It is Compatible with iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad and iPad mini since 2018. The Magnetic support means it can easily stick to your iPad Pro 12.9" (3rd generation or after), iPad Pro 11", iPad Air 5, iPad Air 4, (iPad 4rd generation or after), or iPad mini 6. I like that it charging is via a fast USB-C cable and fully charges your stylus in about 30 minutes and provides up to 15 hours of battery life. The Battery indicator light lets you know when your stylus is close to needing a recharge. What's Included Insignia™ Active Stylus for iPad, iPad Pro, iPad Air and iPad mini Replaceable tip (1) 1-ft.
