ESR Pencil 2nd Generation for iPad, Magnetic Wireless Charging iPad Pencil 2, Stylus Pen for iPad, Tilt Sensitivity and Palm Rejection for iPad Pro 12.9/11, iPad Air 5/4, iPad Mini 6, Pink

The ESR stylus is an excellent alternative to the Apple Pencil and is absolutely worth the money. It charges magnetically, just like the Apple Pencil, or you can use USB-C if needed. The battery life is impressive, and I’ve gone days without needing to recharge it. If you’re looking for a more affordable option without compromising on performance, this is the one to go for. I use an Apple Pencil on my work tablet and honestly can’t tell the difference in how they perform. For the price, it’s an outstanding choice.

Works perfectly with iPad Mini. Charges on the device. Light to hold. Cute colour. Writes really well. I like the light on the end indicating charging and the ease of connection. Just brilliant and I got a bargain from warehouse as outer packaging was damaged which I don’t care about (£18) so I can loose it like my iPad pencil before and not be too cross with myself. Apple Pencil now found…typical!

**Positives:**1. The wireless charging feature is fantastic. I never have to worry about manually charging it since it charges seamlessly when attached to my iPad 11.2. The gray color is sleek and looks great.**Negatives:**1. The build quality leaves much to be desired. It feels very light and cheap compared to the Metapen and Apple Pencil.2. The tip durability is disappointing. After just four days of use on my paper-feel screen protector, the rubber tip wore down to the metal core. This is far less durable compared to my Metapen and Apple Pencil, which both lasted over three weeks of daily use before needing a replacement.3. The paint quality is poor. Within a week and a half of use, I noticed noticeable scratches that exposed the white plastic underneath.4. Turning the pen on is frustratingly inconvenient. You have to hold down the power button for three seconds, which feels daunting, especially when taking notes. Often, you think it’s on, only to discover it isn’t when you start writing. Then, you have to wait an additional 3–4 seconds for it to actually turn on. Those three seconds feel like the longest of my life when I’m in a rush.

Worked strait out of the box , son loved drawing on his ipad

Bought another of these after losing the first. Definitely worth the value, only difference between his and the branded one is how the buttons work

OK for a few days but now not connecting to device. Poor product.

I use a pencil 1 at home and bought this to use with an iPad at work. It's considerably lighter, which might be a good or bad thing, it doesn't bother me. What I do find annoying is it skipping while writing. Like using a pen that's running out of ink. It also needs you to switch it on before you use it and it can take a few seconds before it's ready to go. It's not a like for like replacement for an apple pencil at a fraction of the cost, but it mostly does the job and I won't be so bothered if I lost it.

Out of the box I wasn't sure about this as is seemed to disconnect frequently however that was my failure to appreciate the small difference in functionality of the ESR pen - the on off sleep switch.I like it so far and would say that it is better from a handwriting perspective than the Apple Pencil that just died on me and far cheaper. I write in small copper plate style and the sensitivity of the pen and accuracy has vastly improved compared to the Apple Pencil.. Aesthetically it is more pleasing; the pale grey lightweight design feels more like a real pencil. I should note that I'm using the pen with the ESR paper feel screen protector and I'm sure that is contributing to the experience.
