Don't buy - only brings trouble.
To be honest: The stylus does not work at all. Tested on 3 iPad Pros - from a total of 4 people... no one managed to get it to work. When writing, the last 3 or 4 lines drawn are suddenly deleted again and again... no idea why.... Absolutely no recommendation to buy. Bought the original Apple Pencil - suuuuper happy.
Pro
- I saw the clip for the cover as a pro - but it's no use if the pen doesn't work.
Contra
- Does not work - not even in the Bamboo original Notes
disappointing
Had heard many good things. Not convincing on iPad Pro with privacy film (partly no line drawing). On iPad 2 mini with privacy film no problems. Since I would need the pen a lot, disappointing for me. I will probably have to buy the expensive Apple pen.
Works perfectly with iPad Pro
This PEN also works without the iPad Pro being switched on for Bluetooth. With one charge, the PEN works for about 2 weeks and I write with this PEN every day. I write on GoodNotes and it works perfectly. I have been using the PEN for about 6 months and I am very satisfied.
Pro
- Pleasant in the hand
- Stable even when dropped on the floor
- No habituation time necessary
Contra
- none
Very accurate pen for sketching and annotating
I have tried a few pens from different brands. This one is the only one that has met my expectations, or even exceeded them. It is finally possible to work pressure-sensitively and the lines are set where I expect and want them. Everything runs very smoothly. Once the pen is paired for the first time, it only takes a twist to disconnect it and another twist to pair it again. Everything is very simple.
Pro
- Very accurate writing and sketching
- Lies well in the hand
- Easy on/off and pairing
Contra
- Only works with compatible apps
- Only with iOS devices
Good pen for the price
Good pen, good price. Unfortunately not as good as the Apple Pencil, but okay.
Pro
- Not too expensive
- Lies well in the hand
- beautiful design
Contra
- Not as good as the Apple Pencil
Better Apple Pencil
Despite the higher price, I think an Apple Pencil and an Ipad to go with it is definitely more recommendable than this pen.
Serviceable but not good.
Bought this for my daughter to use on her iPad 5th generation to use for home schooling. I didn't expect to be as good as the Apple Pencil on the iPad 6th generation, but it's considerably worse. The connection and precision is much poorer. It can be serviceable or writing letters, numbers and drawing, but never to any proper quality. Maybe it's better with specific apps, but I just tried with Notes that comes on the iPad.
Suitable after acclimatisation.
Pen fits well in the hand, is of good quality. Handling takes some getting used to, I had imagined the tip differently. Pressure sensitivity is difficult to regulate.
Can be coupled with the compatible apps without any problems.Works perfectly.
Works perfectly.
Did not meet expectations, will return it.
When writing, the tip keeps slipping back into the pen, so you have to extend the tip again every few seconds.
The tip is not visible when writing because it is very short, so you can't see exactly where the tip touches down.Purchase was worthwhile
Very good pen, especially because the tip can be recessed and does not have a cap like other models. I have not connected the pen to any app. I use the pen with an iPad 2 and 3 and the pen is recognised immediately.
Pro
- Retractable tip
- Lies well in the hand
- Sturdy clip
Contra
- End cap that covers the charging socket is a bit loose
