    I picked this up for quick notes, scrolling, and basic writing without paying full Apple Pencil pricing. It connects easily and feels responsive for everyday tasks like tapping, marking up, and light sketching. It’s not as precise as higher-end styluses for detailed art, but for casual use it does exactly what I needed. I’d recommend it if you want a practical stylus that works well for the price.

    My wife purchased this for her 10th generation iPad and so far she loves it. I have an Apple Pencil 2 and can't tell much of a difference. For the price this is unbeatable.

    Purchased while picking up a new Ipad. Wasn't sure since it wasn't an apple item, but we wouldn't know any different. It connected immediately and stays connected. Works well even with a screen glass on device. Love the magnet. Only wish the battery lasted longer but I think it is typical battery length for all pens.

    This item is good. Will turn off on its own and lasts a while before needing a charge. Its no apple pen but it is as good. For art, theres no lag in use. The pen is good overall.

    Easy to use out of the box. Charge, double tap the back and you are running a pen that can be used on multiple devices simultaneously. No pairing needed. Only wish that it has pressure sensitivity. Definitely a good pen for what I use it for.
