Bought this for my father in law. He did struggle to use it. I gave it then to my kids to use. They have no issues, works as it should!

The pen works fantastic. I bought it with my a16 iPad and it connected perfectly with no issues. Battery life is good but could be longer. And the size is not too large for my hands either.

Thankful that I found this item and didn’t shave to go all the way to the Apple Store. It works beautifully and is easy to charge & tell when it needs to be charged. And it sticks to my iPad like there is no tomorrow.

It’s works quite well. I’ve had the Apple Pencil before and opted to go with a cheaper peripheral for drawing. Thus far this Insignia pencil is a like-for-like exact exchange, with one minor difference: you do have to use the USB-C cable to charge it vs. the magnetic dock. While the mag dock holds it in place very nicely, it doesn’t charge the non-Apple pencil.

Buy this and not the cheaper ones available online. This makes using my iPad so much easier since I have arthritic hands.

The Insignia Active Stylus Pen works exactly as intended and has quickly become a daily essential. It’s kid-friendly yet precise enough for detailed illustrations, making it perfect for both creative drawing and everyday tasks like note-taking and navigation. The battery life is impressive, long-lasting and reliable, even with daily use, so there’s no constant recharging. A well-designed, dependable stylus that delivers great performance at a great value
