Let me preface this review by simply stating that I regret not going with the Apple Pencil Pro. I’m not sure if it’s a quality control issue, but even though my ESR Pro stylus magnetically attaches fine, it does not charge as advertised—not even a little. The iPad doesn’t even recognize that the stylus is physically connected to it.

Secondly, when writing or drawing, the pen tends to skip quite a bit, even after exchanging the tip for one of the provided replacements. This stylus may quickly frustrate you if you intend to rely on it frequently for these tasks.

On the plus side, if you’re looking for a relatively cheap stylus that will help you navigate or move small objects on a screen where fat fingers have difficulty (e.g., cursors), then you’ll love it.

With the new iPad mini out there isn’t most aftermarket pencils that would work. I can confirm that this will work for the new iPad mini 7 A17 Pro.

The product itself is great for the price but beware it does NOT wirelessly charge for iPad Air m2, this isn’t the manufacturers fault as I looked at the official website and it does say this, I think I will return it for one that does but it does everything else really well, if u have an older gen iPad it will wirelessly charge flawlessly I’d assume

I like that it can magnetically charge but it doesn’t stick that well and charges very slowly

This does not work for the iPad Air m2 11 inch
However, this does work for the iPad Pro M1
I bought this for the air 2 expecting it to charge wirelessly… it does not

I was skeptical at first that this product would actually work and do what I needed. I decided to order and give it a try. I didn’t want to spend tons of money for the name brand Apple Pencil, so I settled with this one instead. I am very happy with it so far. It charges quickly and works perfectly for my use case. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I have to reconnect manually after bluetooth disconnect which happens after I put back on the magnetic charger. Just a slight annoyance, but overall is exactly what I needed.

Look, I like the convenience of a pen for annotating documents and filling out electronic forms. But I’m not an artist or a student and I don’t need the features of the Apple Pencil or Apple Pencil pro, with the premium Apple pricetag. So I bought this after checking out some YouTube reviews. It serves my needs perfectly: it is accurate, with good battery life and is pleasant to hold. Of note, this will not charge on the side of the iPad Air M2 version. It will stick to the side but won’t charge, and you will have to charge by USB-C. At $25, I think this offers great value for those of us that aren’t artists or students.

Works perfectly! It charges while resting on my iPad or iPadMini or you can plug it in.
