This is a great alternative to the Apple Pencil. It doesn’t shade but it’s great for taking notes. Works with all updated ipads (newer). Charges with lightning cable, easy to work with

Can't afford Apple Pencil? This work well with my Apple iPad. It saved me from the high cost of the Apple pencil. However, Apple has quality products so you will have to make your own decision.

Quick and easy to setup for iPad use. I would recommend this to my friends and family for their iPads. Great value for the price since the Apple Pencil is so pricey.

i read reviews to purchase this pencil instead of the apple pencil and i am pretty pleased. this doesn't fit in cases where a normal sized apple would fit, but it works great!

Great pencil and definitely worth the purchase. It’s about 60% the cost of the Apple Pencil and is a good, cost effective alternative

. When it comes to Apple Products, Apple wants you to purchase Apple accessories…use Apple apps and that’s just the way it is. I was hoping this pencil would work as it was lest costly than the Apple Pencil, but it just didn’t work for me. Sketchy at best. So..if you really want to screen sketch or write..I would definitely wait and pay the extra for the original Apple Pencil… I returned this item with no problems at Best Buy.

Salesperson said that it would work for an iPad 5th generation but it didn’t. Liked the quality of the product.

My daughter uses this all the time doing her digital art and the tip does not scratch the protector on the iPad like others have.

Logitech - Crayon Digital Pencil. Very good buy and works the way it should.

An amazing approximation of a cellulose/graphite marking mechanism, never needs dimensional adjustment to function. Digital in all respects, except those in which it isn’t.

Bought this for my daughter for her ipad because they were out of Apple pens and it works amazingly. She’s an art major in college and this worked really well for her iPad

Solid build feeling and responds well. It did die twice unexpectedly after just a couple hours of use. I just expected longer battery life for something so small.

The Logitech crayon digital cancel for my eighth generation iPad works with no problem. It connects seamlessly and you don’t even have to have Bluetooth on!

Reasonably priced pen, but I was unable to get it to pair with my device. No fault of the pen, I just had a hard time figuring it out. Ended up returning it, very easy process.

Great alternative for the Apple Pencil of all you’re using it for is basic stylus and tasing functions. It syncs up great and works wonderfully. I highly recommend it.

This can be found frequently for $50. It's a great substitute for the Apple branded pencil. Has all the same features and you don't need an adapter to charge it.

Works great! Very responsive when using with my iPad. Definitely recommend.

The Logitech Crayon, while designed for the educational market, is really the apple pencil for the rest of us. By that I mean non-creative/drawing uses. Not that the Crayon can’t draw, it certainly can, and features tilt sensitivity, It does lack pressure sensitivity, which would be a deal breaker to any serious artist. If you can get past this limitation, in some ways it’s more Apple than the Pencil. So what sets the Crayon apart other than its lack of the pressure sensitivity feature? Well for one, the charging cover is attached (hurray!) so you won’t lose it. On that same note, the charger is a female lighting jack, so you aren’t forced to have it sticking out from your iPad in an awkward way (or feel like you'll break your lighting port on your iPad or the Pencil). I can’t imagine being in a scenario where the Pencil’s ability to plug directly into the iPad helps charge it on the go as between battery banks and lighting charging cables it's hard to be without a way to charge. The Crayon’s ability to just use any old lighting power cord is a god-send. Another great feature of its physical design is the material. Not only does the aluminum feel solid and welcome in your hand, but it also feel super sturdy, unlike the Pencil. I feel like the Pencil could easily be snapped, while the Crayon feels like it could handle some serious mayhem. Furthermore the fact the body isn’t a cylinder, but is more rectangular keeps it from rolling away. The color scheme might throw some off, but honestly I like the orange combo w/ the aluminum as it helps it stand out just enough without being gaudy. The top cover is a silicon and actually does come off (and is replaceable), but it does take some effort to remove. The tip is also replaceable, and requires a specific tool to remove the tip. This is a nod to its educational roots, where small hands might remove the tip and make it disappear. It actually is preferred in my use case as well, as my children would and have unscrewed my Pencil’s tip before. There is one button on the top that powers the Crayon on, and has an LED that shows the status. Another note: the Crayon auto powers off after 30 minutes. You’re supposed to be able to get 7 hours of usage out of it, and I doubt I’ll push that limit much and it's cinch to charge. Now how does it write? Quite well. It feels a lot like the Pencil in my ham hands with excellent tracking. Just like the Pencil, it works in the OS natively (swiping on the home screen, through web pages, and notating screen shots). Unfortunately I can confirm that it only works with the iPad 6th gen. My daughter’s 5th gen doesn’t work, and my iPad Pro 10.5” doesn’t work either. However the 6th gen iPad it works right away without any pairing. This is probably where the Crayon is most impressive, as it ‘just works’ as they say (I had a bad Pencil when I first got my Pro and it did not ‘just work’). Tilt sensitivity seems to be on point (pun intended), and allows basic sketches to turn out quite nice when using it for shading. I’m no artist, but I was able to draw relatively well with the Crayon. Unlike some other pens, it doesn’t have a native eraser feature or button, but neither does the Pencil, so no huge loss there. My primary use case besides just being curious about Logitech’s foray into near first party Apple accessory land is to give my small children a stylus they can really express themselves with. They’re both small, with my son pushing 4 and my daughter just 2. They both need supervision when using the Crayon, but I feel much better about them using this rather than my Pencil. They both enjoy drawing on the iPad - and I enjoy them not using actual crayons on the floor (which they still do, but a father can dream right?). I like that the Crayon just turns on and writes. The strong physically design makes me worry less about my son cracking the Pencil in half and potentially causing an injury. In my testing and writing though, I found myself actually enjoying the feel of the Crayon over the Pencil (it’s a bit more chunky), and wished it worked on the iPad Pro. If the next generation does indeed support this more passive pen, I may just sell my current pro and Pencil and get the Crayon. That said I’m no artistic professional, but I do annotate screenshots, documents, and draw some POCs. In these scenarios, I don’t miss the pressure sensitivity. Tracking was excellent, on par with my experience with the Surface Pen and Pencil on their respective devices. That said, again I’m no artist, but I am sensitive to lag, of which I did not detect. The only thing I found myself wanting was a pen clip, either to somehow secure it to the iPad or another surface. All in all the Crayon is an excellent stylus for the iPad 6th gen. I wish it worked on more iPad’s, but hopefully future iPad iterations will support it natively just like the 6th gen. I don’t think you can go wrong if you’re in the market for a stylus for the 6th gen iPad, as the Pencil is most likely overkill for you on the iPad (let’s be honest, if you’re buying an iPad for creative work, the Pro is definitely the better fit). Combine with the fact that it's cheaper, it's hard to make a case for the Pencil over the Crayon. This is an excellent product.

I bought the digital pencil for my mom to use in a digital color App. Just touching the numbers was hard for her at age 94. The pencil works great with just light pressure.

Got it as a gift for my wife. She loves it and it goes with the case I got her as well. Only thing it didn’t come with a charging cable.
