Good value 3rd party pencil (replaces Apple Pencil 2nd Gen)

Has:

  • magnetic charging as per official pencil
  • tilt sensitivity
  • palm rejection
  • button on the top end
  • led status / battery indicator light

Does not have:

  • “always on” - the official pencil is alsways on without need to wake.
  • PRESSURE SENSITIVITY (this can be a big one for artists)
  • side tap to switch tools

If you don’t mind waking the pencil from sleep after inactivity, and lack of pressure sensitivity, this is a great cheap alternative to the official Apple pencil.

  • magnetic charging as per official pencil

    Nice , I recently upgraded to Apple Pencil 2 at $158 and it’s wayyyy better than the $30 knock off I was using, the charging thing was the main thing that annoyed me about the generic.

    • Do u mean you upgraded from this one to Apple Pencil 2? If not which one did u use? Other than the charging convenience, any more comments?

      • I was using a renaisser brand one on amazon.
        The one I have I can’t find on there anymore.

        And yes upgrade to pencil 2 , $158 was enough reduction for me to say f it, and just go for the authentic.

        Charging convenience, and overall accuracy/response better.

        At the end of the day, the generics are fine and will get you at least 80% of the experience really unless you are a hardcore artist.

        I personally plan to get back into photography (was mad keen on it before I had kids). And already have Adobe Lightroom on iPad, so hoping to see some great value in my retouching)

          Sweet! You’ll really enjoy lightroom’s new AI masking tools. Object/subject select, sky select etc. look into the insta360 X2 / X3 as well. Amazing fun and totally different perspective. Lots of great videos on youtube about techniques etc.

  • Can you still use if the iPad not in the list like an iPad air 3

    • No, you would need a 1st gen pencil knock-off. I’m sure they are also on amazon for a decent price
