Actually responds better then the Apple pencil. EXCELLENT product

Great cost and works great on my iPad.was glad to find it

Excellent choice. A definite must have for iPad users

Doesn't work with any of my devices. Not recommended.

The Stylus performed excellent.....until I lost it.

Great stylus. Can’t recommend this stylus more. A brilliant creatio.

First time pen user here. Seems like a quality product.

Works just as good as the apple pen without the high cost

this is just what I was looking for...and best buy made it easy

It does what it says it will do but it will not notify you when the battery is low. If you put it in the charger, it will not indicate it’s charging. Just buy the apple one…

This thing sucks. They are cheap, faulty, and irritating

The Zagg Pro Stylus is a decent alternative to its main competitor. A cheaper, decent alternative. The look and feel of the Pro Stylus is impressive. It has good weight and feels solidly built. It has the feel of an expensive ink pen. The Stylus has a flat edge that attaches and stores magnetically to the right edge of my 11 inch IPad Pro. That’ll save me a lot of time wondering where the heck I put the thing down. The stylus does not charge when attached to your iPad. It charges via a cable (included) to a USB-C connector cleverly hidden near the top of the stylus. Zagg boasts a nine hour battery life per charge. There is a rubber tipped point at the top of the stylus, which I use more than the pencil tipped end. I did a search for Pencil compatible apps and turned up a decent number of them, albeit just about all of them either charge you outright, or offer the dreaded in-app purchase option. Very few freebies. The Stylus has tilt recognition; very handy when a thicker or thin shading is required for your project. It also has a light to indicate when your stylus needs a power re-up. The rubber tipped stylus provides a nice experience when using your iPad. But this product has a very niche appeal, it isn’t for everyday users. Artists? Graphic designers, heck yeah. But for everyone else, it’s a lot of money to spend for a regular, rubber tipped stylus. Hopefully, developers will continue to create apps to take better advantage of this Stylus

When I saw this Zagg stylus, I was eager to give it a try because it was offered in a dark slate gray finish. I have the ever popular white stylus for my iPad but I always wanted a black one that offered the same performance. The Zagg stylus comes with a USB C cable and one extra nib that you can replace once the existing one gets worn down. The Zagg stylus works with my new iPad but it was a little fussy connecting the first time. I first needed to charge it which was quite simple. You slide the end cap up to reveal a USB C charging port. I connected the included USB C cable to it to charge it up which didn't take very long at all. It shows a red light while charging and the light goes out when fully charged. Once it was charged I turned it on by pushing the power button on the side of the stylus. I immediately doubled tapped my iPad to get a new Note to open and it did. Once I started drawing, things got weird. The pen lost the ability to draw and I couldn't reconnect it until I powered it off and rebooted my iPad. After that it started working again...not sure but it may be a Bluetooth issue with my iPad which was running the latest beta software. So, it may just be the iOS and not the stylus at all. It worked just fine in the Notes app and I could draw just like my Apple Pencil. It even has a flat side just like the Apple Pencil which may make it fit into existing cases that have a place for the Apple Pencil. I used the stylus in several other apps like Sketchbook, Paper but had serious lag in the Photoshop app for iPad. For me, it would not be an option if I was using Photoshop a lot. The palm rejection seemed to work well and so did the tilt function. One thing the Zagg could use is a double tap feature that switches tools. It doesn't offer any tap functions and I don't know if they plan of making an update that brings it to the Zagg. One other issue area is that if you have an Apple Pencil, these two don't play nice together. Once the Apple Pencil is connected it's difficult to get the Zagg reconnected. I tried to get the expanded instructions but the Zagg webpage for them that's printed in their quick guide leads me to nowhere.That's an issue. So I have no idea if there is a solution until the manual is readily available. The other end of the stylus offers a standard non active nib that lets you select things like a standard stylus. It worked fine every time I used it, even when the active end wasn't. Overall, the Zagg is an ok stylus. It comes in a great slate finish, has palm rejection, tilt sensitivity and a non active nib on the other end. For most people this is all they need, It does lack some features you can find on the Apple Pencil but if you can do without the extra features, this Zagg should work well for you. Plus, It's much less expensive which makes a big difference to a lot of people.

Zagg Pro Stylus (Best Buy Review) The Zagg Stylus Pro is an Apple Pencil competitor that seems to be worth its salt. It combines a ‘traditional’ stylus (like you used to see before Apple Pencil became a thing) with a tip that is compatible with Pencil-compatible iPads. The packaging is light and simple, and the instructions provided leave something to be desired. I had some initial issue powering the stylus and getting it to connect to my third generation iPad Pro, and found that it was better to completely remove my existing Apple Pencil from bluetooth devices then use the Zagg stylus. At the time of experiencing these issues, the support site wasn’t live yet on Zagg’s website for this particular product, which was frustrating. From a design perspective, it is a stark difference from the Apple Pencil: two-tone gray and black instead of all white, with a power button along the side near the ‘traditional’ stylus end. The tip looks a little crayon-like, but otherwise the stylus looks low-profile and minimalist. It certainly feels less dense than the Apple Pencil, so maybe a bit lower in quality, but it’s not a deal breaker. Using the Zagg stylus is an experience on par with the Apple Pencil, however, the workflow of using it is a bit different. First, it has to be powered on (instead of being immediately on after removing from the side of the iPad), and charging is done via an included USB type-C port cleverly hidden beneath a sliding component at the traditional stylus end. This sliding component also makes a decent fidget toy. The Zagg stylus also doesn’t support the ‘double tap’ function that the Apple Pencil does, but I often times find myself more frustrated by that feature than excited by its presence. Most notably (and excitingly for me) is the traditional stylus end—one of my biggest complaints about the Apple Pencil is the inability to use it to navigate all aspects of the iPad user interface. Zagg combats this with the old-school rubber-tipped stylus at the “eraser” end. So, it’s not an Apple Pencil—but in some ways, that is what makes it great. At $69–versus $129 for the Apple Pencil—and with added functionality in the ability to fully navigate your iPad with both ends of the stylus, it’s a no-brained. Sure, it does have to be powered on and charged independently, which is less ‘streamlined,’ but it’s a small price to pay for a good-looking product that gives you a little more functionality.

Is not bad, but not impressed with it. Instructions aren’t that much helpful. Just for couple bucks more I should of bought apple pen.

This item does not work effectively with the iPad Pro 11. Work good as a stylus.

The functionality is great and I love that the cap stays on to charge it. BUT… the battery life is not ideal.

very flimsey and breaks easy also the end part comes off

Ended up returning for the Apple Pencil. I didn’t like that there was no light to indicate if it was on, off charged etc
