    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.

    Great product Works as advertised! Battery could be a bit better but not detrimental to the experience. Would recommend as a lower cost alternative to the Apple Pencil

    It’s inexpensive and has lasted me for a long period of time. It connects to several devices at ease. I mainly use it for my Calculus work. So I tend to use it for hours on end on the daily. I recommend this item.

    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.
