  • An Apple Pencil alternative at a fraction of the cost
Color: white
I am incredibly impressed with the MetaPen Pencil A8. I was looking for a more affordable alternative to the Apple Pencil, and this product exceeded all my expectations. First and foremost, the value for money is fantastic. You get a high-quality, durable stylus with excellent performance without the hefty price tag. It feels solid in my hand and the long battery life is truly impressive. I've used it for several hours of continuous note-taking and it's still going strong. The pencil's sensitivity to orientation is a game-changer for both my drawing and writing. Whether I'm sketching, shading, or just jotting down quick notes, the tilt function works flawlessly. It feels natural and responsive, making my creative and professional work much more fluid. Another major bonus is the fast charging. Just a few minutes of charging gives me hours of use, which is perfect for when I'm in a hurry or need a quick top-up between tasks. It's incredibly convenient and ensures I'm never without my pen when I need it most. Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, feature-rich, and affordable stylus for their iPad. ... show more

  • Metapen has blown away the Apple Pencil
Color: white
I do not have a bad word to say about this pen. I used an Apple Pencil for about two years before switching to Metapen instead because Apple Pencil broke and the transition was absolutely seamless, if not better. First off, connecting the Metapen is a breeze. All you have to do is double tap the top of the pen and it's immediately turned on. With the Apple Pencil, I usually had to plug it into my iPad before it would even be connected. Metapen connects much easier than Apple Pencil. As for quality of writing and drawing, there is not a clear winner, but multiple pros and cons. Apple Pencil adjusts better to tilting the pen, so if you're writing on the side of the pen to increase line size (I mostly use the pencil for art), Apple is more sensitive to slant. Metapen, however, certainly reacts better to pressure. Apple can be wildly inconsistent with line size and pressure, whereas Metapen is more consistent with line size. Overall, there is not a difference in the writing and drawing functionality, and Metapen does the same things as Apple Pencil for much less money. As for durability, that is no contest- Metapen wins. My Apple Pencil was literally shattered by the time I had to stop using it- it had electrical tape on it and Silly Putty holding the tip on. It broke way too often. I dropped it once and the cap on the charger was immediately fractured. The Metapen does not break, however. It has been trapped under books, bags, water bottles, you name it, and it's still kicking just fine. Metapen is much more durable than Apple Pencil, if only for the fact that I don't have to watch it like a newborn the way I did with my Apple Pencil. As for charging and battery life, Metapen has its pros and cons. Battery life of the pencil is about as long as the Apple Pencil's, if not a bit shorter. I could often get a week or so out of my Apple Pencil, where I get 4-5 days from the Metapen. That said, with the amount you're paying for the Metapen as opposed to what you pay for an Apple Pencil, there's an obvious choice. I spend a lot of time with my pencil writing and drawing as well, so I probably use the pencil more than the average user. Additionally, the Metapen recharges faster than the Apple Pencil, and you don't have to stop using your whole device for it to recharge. You can just plug it into a cord instead of inserting the pencil into the device like you're broadcasting to outer space. It is also easy to see how much battery you have with the Metapen. With the Apple Pencil you can see the exact percentage, but the Metapen has a small light that changes color depending on how much battery your pencil has left. I have found this feature to be quite helpful. The overall pick? Easily Metapen. I have not noticed any cons that I'd trade for an Apple Pencil for, and the value was much more worth it. Don't blow your money on a fancy stylus from Apple, give your $14 to Metapen and move on. The Metapen is just as effective and even more functional. ... show more

  • Excellent Pencil for iPad
Color: white
My original Apple Pencil was beginning to show battery decline and in the process of replacing it I read a favorable review of the Metapen pencil A8 in Consumer Reports. The price was very reasonable so I decided to give it a try. That turned out to be a good decision because this pencil provides excellent value. It works as well as the original pen and it doesn’t have to be paired to be used. The double tap on and off feature is very convenient. I would definitely recommend this pencil. ... show more

  • Perfectly Pairs with iPad
Color: white
I have had this pencil for over two years and it still works perfectly! I bought it to “test” out how much I would use an “Apple Pencil” and two years later, I have no need to order an actual Apple Pencil because this one is perfect! Easily pairs with my iPad (and stays connected), the perfect tip for writing accurately in my Good Notes, and overall high quality for the price point! ... show more
