I got my iPad back in 2017 and really wanted to love it but it has never been very useful to me. I tried attaching a Bluetooth keyboard. That made it heavy and clunky and I was never able to know how much battery life the keyboard had so even if I wanted to take it along instead of my laptop I never knew if it would make it through the day. Enter the Apple Pencil; my iPad now has so many great applications in my life it is the device I use 2nd most only behind my phone. I type really fast so for many years I almost never hand-wrote anything to the extent that writing had started to feel strange to me. Our brains need that creative, hand-to-eye interaction to help support and expand memory function and stimulate our creative side. Now I use my iPad to take hand-written notes pretty much every day. Apple's native apps work great with the Pencil and there are also some great 3rd party apps that are really valuable for keeping a virtual notebook, drawing, writing music, making story boards... pretty much whatever you can do with paper and writing instruments. The Apple Pencil you need depends on the iPad you have so pay close attention to which one you need for your device. The version 2 has a few more features and I would have gladly paid a little more for it, but it won't work with my iPad. Still, I'm really happy with this one! Don't undervalue the ability to tell exactly how much battery your Apple Pencil has at any given time when you're considering whether to by a knock-off or spring for the real Apple brand. You charge the Apple Pencil using your iPad. There is an external adapter that I never use. I can get an additional 15 minutes of battery life from just 15 to 30 seconds of charging with the iPad and it doesn't drain the iPad battery. It goes from dead to fully charged in about 20 minutes. You won't get that from the knock-offs and you won't ever be able to know how much battery life a knock-off version has. You'll need to carry the charger and block, and have access to an outlet if it dies. If you're considering those, read the 2 and 3 star reviews, and also sort the reviews by most recent. People who leave 2 or 3 stars saw some value but clearly there was a significant flaw. Those reviews told me that the knock-offs might seem great when new, but they die quickly. Many of the 4 and 5 stars are reviewing something they just received. Sorting by newest helps you to spot sellers who make quality products at first, but then start taking short cuts once they have enough good reviews to make it seem great. Amazon puts this one on sale regularly. I paid $80 for the Apple Pencil Gen 1. A few days later I saw it was $99 again but as I type this it's back down to $79.99 so watch and wait for the price to be low. I was not sure that I would ever use the pencil as I am not an artist or song writer. I a felt a strong need to get back to hand-writing my notes but equally strong need to have them in digital form so my desk isn't covered with sticky notes that make no sense. Now I take a request for info from a client and turn it into a graphic I've marked up and texted to them and they love it. I can hand-write an email and send it as hand-writing. Older relatives LOVE this. Instead of one paper notebook I can never remember to take with me, I have multiple virtual notebooks organized by topics and they're so valuable that I remember my iPad always--across the house or across town. Watch some online videos about what you can do with an Apple Pencil! So many great little uses. ... show more

    • Works as well as a new apple pencil for a fraction of the cost
Style: USB-C Adapter
I have an older apple pencil and newer one. This one was the least expensive and works just as well as the others. It doesn't lag at all, and is fun to play with. My kids and I all use it. It feels comfortable to hold, and the quality and precision is great. Depending on the program, you can adjust the thickness which is nice. We like to use it like a pencil. ... show more

LOVE this pencil. It is amazing. It really works like a true pencil and so much more. There is even a really good free app to use it for drawing. Charges fast and lasts a long time

    • Works great
Style: USB-C Adapter
I bought this for my iPad 10th gen and it works great. It is easy to connect and improves the functionality of the iPad. It does have a strange way of charging which involves removing a little cap from the end of it which I see being very easy to lose. I just use my iPad at home so I don't worry about losing it but if you are traveling or using this at work/school that may be an issue. Overall this is the official Apple Pencil (therefore the most compatible) which unleashes the iPad's full potential and I would highly recommend it (especially if it is on sale) ... show more

    • If you’re not in a hurry to buy this, check on it a lot the price goes up and down a lot!
Style: USB-C Adapter
Ipencil is one of the best things to add to your iPad ! So manny times I’ve Ben typing and have an error. That I just couldn’t seem to get my finer to put the cursor in the right spot. But the ipencil will put it exactly were you want it . I also use it on photos . If there’s decent areas were the color doesn’t do a lot of changing . I can remove things and modify images to were it’s hard to tell I have . It’s pretty amazing what you can do with it if you spend some time . For anyone who likes artistic work . From rear aging things in a photo you have or starting your own picture. The ipencil is a must . It’s something that you get and see how big a difference it is from using your finger ! If you get one I recommend a new one . Used ones that have set around go bad . They don’t get charged or used for a long period of time. Well the battery goes bad . They say you can get them warm with like your body heat . Some times they might come back but some times they don’t . So if it’s second hand or used you’re taking a huge chance . If you get a new one , well it has a warranty. An purchasing at Amazon gives you a date and time so if it’s does fail. Then you won’t have any issues on getting it fixed or replaced ! The part I hated the most was the week before I bought it it was around $30 cheaper . The week after I bought it it was $20 cheaper . I may be off on those numbers but I had to pay the full $100.00 . The other thing make sure you e checked really good that what you are ordering will pair up and work with the apple device you have ! Have fun and you’ll enjoy it . ... show more

    • Almost Perfect
Style: USB-C Adapter
I have been on the search for the perfect stylus ever since I had my first iPad several years ago. So far, the Apple Pencil Gen 1 (for an iPad 9 gen) comes the closest. I like to draw, and the Pencil is a good tool for drawing. Not only drawing, but I use it for navigating and I can see how it would be useful for note taking, although it will take some practice to get the characters down. What I don't like is the short battery life. It seems I'm always charging this thing even when I'm not using it a lot. I also discovered that the Pencil doesn't work consistently between applications. Ironically, I struggle using it with Freeform on my iPad. But like I said at the beginning of my review, this is the best stylus I've used so far. Almost perfect. ... show more

    • It's amazing
Style: USB-C Adapter
It's a little weird to use at first but it's a really good pen. I've used other pens and this one is the best. It has great accuracy when drawing and if you tilt it, it helps blend better. I use this for procreate to draw and it works extremely well with this app. Other pens don't have the tilting feature and the ones that say they do don't work as well as this pen. Pricing could be a bit cheaper and I wish there was a spot that is more grippy for ease of use and comfort but it's a all over great pen. ... show more
