Overview
A USB-C rechargeable stylus for iPad models from 2018 through 2025, with palm rejection, tilt sensitivity, and a magnetic side attachment, built as an alternative to Apple's own Pencil.
The compatibility list is what matters most here: it covers iPad Pro 11-inch and 12.9-inch (3rd through 6th gen) and 13-inch (M4), iPad Air (3rd through M3 gen), iPad (6th through 11th gen), and iPad Mini (5th through 7th gen). The listing is explicit that it does not support wireless charging, so it needs to be plugged in with its USB-C cable rather than snapped onto the iPad's magnetic strip to charge, and it does not support pressure sensitivity, so lines vary by tilt angle rather than how hard you press.
- USB-C charging, full charge in about 13 minutes
- Palm rejection and tilt sensitivity
- Magnetic side attachment for storage, not charging
- 3 LED battery level indicators
Who it's for
Fits an iPad owner who wants palm rejection and tilt-based line variation without paying Apple Pencil prices, and who is fine charging over USB-C instead of magnetically. Not a fit for anyone who specifically needs pressure-sensitive line weight for illustration work.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Palm rejection lets you rest your hand on the screen while writing
- Fast USB-C charging, about 13 minutes for a full charge
- Wide iPad model compatibility across Pro, Air, standard, and Mini lines
- Comes with 3 replacement nib tips
- No wireless charging, despite the magnetic side attachment
- No pressure sensitivity for line weight
Performance notes
A 1.5mm tip and tilt sensor drive the responsiveness, and the pencil ships with three LED charge indicators plus an auto shutoff after 10 minutes of inactivity to save battery. A full charge takes about 13 minutes over USB-C and is rated for roughly 9 hours of continuous use, with the magnet holding it to the side of the iPad for storage rather than for charging.
