    My teen is usually pretty rough on her electronics. This stylus is still hanging in there with her. It works effectively and I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for it.

    Excellent Apple Pencil Substitute

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After I lost my Apple pencil, I was wondering whether to buy the same model replacement, or buy a newer model. However, since I am only using an older ipad version, I could only use the same model (Pencil 1). Since I was thinking of upgrading my ipad soon (for higher storage), I couldn’t just stick with the older Pencil 1, because it may NOT be compatible with the new ipad. So I looked for alternatives, and Insignia active stylus was a cost-effective substitute. It was a bir confusing in the beginning to set-up and pair, but eventually, I got it to do just that. Today, it has been an amazing pencil.

    Works great with the Ipad I bout and it does magnetically connect to the side which is also cool, will say was a little confused how to turn it on but if u tap the but end three times it does turn on t, takes a bit to get used to.

      That's great to hear your Insignia stylus works well with your iPad and that you find the magnetic connection cool! Thanks for sharing the tip about tapping the end three times to turn it on; that's good to know and might help other users. It sounds like you're getting the hang of it! - Carl | Insignia Products BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    The Insignia stylus for my iPad has been great. I use it mainly for drawing, and it feels smooth and accurate on the screen. It’s way more affordable than the Apple Pencil but still works really well for sketches and editing. Really happy with it so far.

    Great Apple Pencil Alternative

    I have been pleasantly surprised with how well this Apple Pencil alternative has worked out. The dimensions are identical to the Apple Pencil and it writes very well. Battery life has never been an issue. I will say the the only reason I knocked it 1 star is because the magnets do not align with the 2024 Apple iPad Pro models so make sure you have place to store the pencil when not in use. Also, Apple Pencil replacement tips do not work with this alternative version so the design is close but exact. So far, I have no regrets with going with a non-Apple branded accessory.

    Works great! Just tap the top to turn on/off. Sticks to the iPad just fine. Saved like $100 bucks buying this brand instead of Apple!
