Review: Good Experience, Worth the Price and Charging speed is a Plus - First thing I noticed was that the Pencil is smooth and looked like it could slip from my hand, (which it didn't) but it sure can role, so make sure it's not on a slanting surface, or better yet, get a case with a pencil holder on the inside cause this feels and looks fragile. As for the butt cover, it is magnetic so I don't worry about it falling out (which I initially thought lol). Despite it's very slippery looking features, it is quite easy to grip and it comes with an extra point and an adapter. The point doesn't seem rubbery, more like a smooth, rubber like coated, plastic. Basically, it's really hard but is silent to very low on sound when you're using it on a screen, so its very unlikely to make noise to disturb you or persons around you unless you tap hard on the screen. It's heavier than an ordinary pen or pencil but it doesn't affect my writing or drawing. It's hardly noticeable when you start using it so you get use to it pretty fast. It doesn't lag one bit so it's safe to say it 'feels natural' for drawing and writing. For paring, you just insert it into the iPad charging pot and it asks you to pair, you accept the pairing and it pairs until you cut off the Bluetooth from the settings area. For charging, it's a bit awkward though, cause this looks like an accident ready to happen. My advise is to put it somewhere that it can't be disturbed cause it doesn't look safe to just leave around when charging. In the flip side, it charges super fast so the fact that the pencil loses power during rest mode, doesn't affect the whole user experience. From my experience, it doesn't die out quickly. I can write for a considerable amount of time and still not have to worry about it dying on me, (but it does warn you on the Ipad so it won't be a surprise) and even on low percentage (15 percent), it can still give you a good bit of time (maybe 20-30 minutes) to wrap up before it really needs a charge. Again, super charge, why take the risk right? 10 seconds gives you an extra 30 mins man! I also like that it barely upsets the ipad's charge either. I once charged my ipad to 100 percent, placed my dead pencil in to charge, come back a few minutes later and the pencil was 100% while the ipad was still 100%. What I don't like is that it takes forever to charge the pencil directly off the wall. If you want a fast charge, use your iPad. In other words, it may be pricey but the experience makes up for it. I doubt anyone who has a properly working pencil will regret it.
Review: Great stylus, will probably cost more than you think in the long run - I recently got an iPad for school. I go through tons of notebooks as I’m an avid note taker so I wanted a more ecofriendly alternative. After looking at reviews I originally decided to get a cheaper alternative to the Apple Pencil. It was good for tapping and scrolling, but it was rough to take a lot of notes. I knew it wouldn’t work during lectures where I have to write fast so I finally decided to give the Apple Pencil a try. Worst thing I just return it. I got the pencil quickly and immediately took to GoodNotes 5 to test my handwriting and compare it to a cheaper alternative. Instantly I knew the Apple Pencil was superior. I don’t have a screen protector so the writing was super smooth and effortless. Its sensitive so you don’t need to press hard, but not too sensitive you’re getting accidental marks on your document when the stylus gets too close to the screen. I don’t draw so I can’t say much on that, but after some trial notes I can say this is a really amazing stylus especially if you like to take “pretty” notes. There are a few things I’m not too big a fan of, however. For starters, it’s a very smooth pen. It looks beautiful and sleek but it’s hard to write for a long time and it gets painful. I’ve poured a ton of money into this switch to digital notes and it looks like I’m not done. I’ve seen some videos of people recommending a silicon grip cover for the pencil which is beginning to look like a must have. The last thing is the magnet. Supposedly the Apple Pencil can connect to the side of the iPad via magnet and stay while you’re not using it. The magnet is very weak and I would never trust it to actually stay on my iPad. It’ll be nice to keep the stylus from rolling away when you’re not using it, but I think I’ll be looking for somewhere else to store it. In addition you will need to replace the tip of it eventually. I haven’t had to yet, but it does come with 1 spare tip. Additional ones can be bought at Apple. Overall, I will always recommend this stylus especially if you need features like pressure sensitivity, but keep in mind you may also need a silicon cover and potentially a matte screen protector (if you want it to feel like paper). If you’re not someone who writes or draws often and are just looking for a basic stylus to tap, scroll, and occasionally jot down notes I would save your money and go for a cheaper alternative. Pros: Pressure sensitive Great for notes Accurate Cons: Weak magnet (could be my iPads issue though) Hard to hold after long periods of time Can be costly in the long run

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this us currency**
A: The currency you're seeing the price in is a function of which Amazon Store site you're using. The Amazon.com store uses USD, US dollars.

**Q: It stopped working**
A: I have a 1st Gen Apple Pencil and it stopped working for me after not charging it for over a couple months. I thought the same thing, that the battery died because it wasn't regularly charged. I even came to this page, thinking I had to buy a new one (I have an old iPad Pro which only takes 1st Gen pencils).  However, I also started an apple support chat and was able to resurrect the pencil by hard restarting my iPad Pro (the pencil was never the problem).  Upon hard restarting, my iPad asked me to pair the pencil and it now works fine.  The support tech suggested charging the pencil every few days or every week but that they have lithium-ion batteries, which means you can charge when you want and as much as you want. I told him I thought that there was a limited number of charges in the battery, and he said there maybe a limit to the number of full charges but it takes years to get to that point.  Hope this saves you having to buy a new one if you don't need to.

**Q: Is there a trick to this the pencil I got on Friday doesn't seem to be working?**
A: I see a lot of complaints and I’m not sure if I’m going to get the newest iPad Pro 9.7 “ new. But the pencil I want to draw and color with.. I see a bunch of other pens not from Apple for a 1/4 of the price ? Can you tell me which to get and how do you think the cheaper pens will color as they say works great with iPad 4

**Q: How do you erase Apple Pencil marks? Is it easy?**
A: You click on the erase icon & erase with the pencil as if you were to write with the pencil. Pretty easy, my BF loves it
