Great value, one major drawback.
For the money this pen seemed well worth it. I bought it for my new iPad to use for my business, the idea of being able to write/notate for the service industry was a major selling point for me. On the shell it works very well, holds a charge all day, is accurate, easy charging, comfortable, etc.The drawback for me is becoming an increasingly larger one. If the pen is not at 100% full (fresh) charge, it will randomly cause apps to crash. It’s taken me over a week to pinpoint this. If not using the pen every app works flawlessly, as soon as I start using the pen within a few minutes the app I’m using will randomly crash. Very frustrating when I’m trying to take notes measuring a job when there is no save function, and the same goes for writing out estimates or invoices.In summary this pen would be fine for a casual user where notation, or progress, doesn’t matter. Anyone looking for school or business I would not recommend for this reason. I will probably be breaking down and getting an actual Apple brand product.

Great Apple Pencil Alternative
After a long session of review reading on Amazon, I decided on this stylus. It's well-built, has great fit and finish, the body is made from aluminum, and is said to use POM plastic for the tip. I like the idea of this tip instead of carbon as on other offerings as POM is known for its ability to act as a bearing or gliding surface and shouldn't scratch the touchscreen. Charging is accomplished through a USB-C port and includes a short cable, in the box, that you can use with a standard phone or tablet charger. The cable fits the charging port tightly, and requires a little force to snap into place--nice. There is a tiny LED that glows red when charging, green when charged, blue when turned on, and slightly violet when turned on and charging.The stylus connects with my 6th gen. iPad instantly, and seems to be recognized as an Apple Pencil. When using it for the Notes app, I was asked if I wanted to use the Apple Pencil for writing only and my finger to scroll. This is a menu option in the Notes settings page also. There is no pressure sensitivity, but there is palm rejection. The palm rejection isn't perfect, but is really very good. The weight is nice, the barrel is smooth and round. You could probably put one of those anti-roll rubber things for pencils on it to keep it from rolling.I find myself accidentally turning off the stylus once in a while. The touch-sensitive switch can be covered with the rubber tip protector and this prevents accidentally turning it off.Everything about this stylus works as expected. You get smooth drawing and writing with no perceptible delay and great Apple Pen similarity and function, no moving parts, and a spare tip!

Great value
I was looking at tons of reviews of stylus pen for my tablet and finally this one got my focus. The pen is very lightweight and easy to hold, and also very accuracy to use for writing and drawing. Just one tap on the top to switch it on and off. The charging is USB-C universal so I can use every adapter to get it charged. The price is also reasonable and definitely a great value for both quality and usability.

Great value!
I love this stylus! I’ve had it since March and it does everything it claims. Works in any app I’ve tried it with. The pressure sensitivity is more based on the angle that the tip is when you use it. But it’s gives you the instant increase in tool size without having to pause to adjust it in app. I use it pretty much daily and it does hold a charge a long time. Charges quick. I feel like there are even advantages over the Apple Pencil in that it’s not a Bluetooth enabled so it’s just touch the end and it’s on. It also requires heat from your skin to turn it in so it’s not turned on and of every time it’s bumped. So comfortable to use. My only complaint is that I don’t know how to find replacement tips it came with one but because I put so many hours into using it I feel like it’s not unfair that I’m coming up needed another one. Totally recommend it!

The tip broke within 3 days.
I bought this for my iPad 6th generation. For the first five days, it wrote perfectly, no flaws, and I loved it so much. Then after that, I noticed that sometimes it would lag a bit which I was able to fix temporarily by turning it off and back on and sometimes tightening the tip of the stylus. But now it barely functions and it lags every time I write which can be frustrating when drawing, writing on a tablet. Returning it now and just going to buy the Apple Pencil because I know it will work.

Well built stylus.
Does exactly what it should. Works well with my ipad 7th gen 10.2. Feels good at hand, like a real pen. The batteries life is also well. Only charge it one time in the last 2 weeks.

Great for college student on a budget or your kids.
wow I can not tell you how blown away i was by this product. It works just as great as my actual apple pencil. If you are looking for a cheaper stylus to take notes or do quick sketches on your iPad for class i would highly recommend you buying this instead of the 120 apple pencil. You save so much money and you get the same quality. I didn't even have to sync it up to my tablet it started working straight out the box. Slap on a pencil sleeve and no one will know its not the real thing.

Good quality and easy to use
Nice feel for holding this pen, it has good weight for using it. The accuracy and easiness are the key of this pen. It’s so accurate that I can just put a small dot in my picture and have it correct the mistakes of some area. Turn it on and off, it’s just a tap on the top of this pen. I don’t know if this is the functionality of the actual apple pen. But it’s so easy to use. Now I hope there is a place to hold the pen on my iPad. Maybe someone can have a product for holding the pen. This is the very first pen for my 2019 iPad 7th generation 10.2 inch and I really enjoy using it either browsing website or drawing the pictures.

Best budget pencil for your ipad
This pencil is great for navigation and general purpose use. I am not a professional artist or anything and I use it for general writing purpose. This pencil has been great. I have stopped using a physical journal book and using just the ipad with this pencil.Advantages:1. No need to pair. Turn on and it magically works with your ipad. No hassle/2. Option to turn it off. Save battery when you are not using it.3. Great look. It looks similar to apple pencil and not cheap at all.4. Free extra tip with the box.Disadvantages:1. Tap to turn on and off. If you accidentally touch it, it will be turned off/on. A physical toggle button would’ve been nice.2. No way to see battery level properly. The light will blink when it is lower than 10% or 5%, but a green, yellow, red indicator would’ve been nice.

Easy to use
Bought this product as I could not find a Apple Pencil (1st gen) anywhere because of the shortage during COVID19 pandemic. I figured I would give this one a shot because of the price and reviews of the seller that it would be easy to return if disappointed.To say the least, I am NOT disappointed! Works like a charm right out of the box with my Ipad Air (3rd gen). It responds like an apple pencil. I have used the apple pencil before as my daughter has one and she is a digital artist.My only small complaint is the on/off on the tip is very sensitive and I have shut it off accidentally a couple of times, but just another tap and she is back on and working again. But this is definitely something I can live with for the price!!

Cheaper Than Apple - Good For the Aspiring Artist in Me
I couldn’t bring myself to experiment with an Apple Pencil so decided to give this a try. While I wanted the competing device that had a magnet to attach to my 2020 iPad Pro, I preferred the option of USB-c charging. It is round and as a result rolls about so your need to be mindful about that. It does not allow varying line thickness like the 2nd gen Pencil, however this is well documented in the product page. Notwithstanding, I find this to be an excellent investment to someone like me who wanted to give the notion of creative work on an iPad a go. I am no artist but matched with some of the great Pencil friendly apps which are available, I am able to get creative in a way I never have been able to before. Just can’t beat this from an overall value perspective. For this price you really can’t go wrong.

Works well with my iPad 7th gen
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Been wanting to have an apple pencil but can’t afford it so i always borrow my cousins apple pencil then decided to get my own . i browsed and browsed of the alternative ones . So far this is a good one . Works well like the original . I like that it has extra Tip and a Lid. It lasts 3-4 days depends on your daily use . I like the idea of the palm rejection as it allows me to write comfortably on my ipad , feels like i am really writing on the paper .

Pleasantly surprised
Wife drop her apple 2nd gen pencil in the bathtub... I replaced it with this one and was very happy. I especially like that there is a charging port that I can plug a regular apple charge cable into, rather than having to take the end cap off the apple pencil and then stick that into the iPad to charge it... seemed like if the pencil were to get knocked or bumped that you could damage the pencil or the charge port on the iPad. So I like the design of this one then the original pencil from Apple. Remember this one won't work with IPAD Pro's etc. It was bought to work with the new gen iPad mini's that use the 2nd gen pencil.
