I really like these pencil tips! I was a bit skeptical since I use an (admittedly off-brand) paper texture screen protector on my iPad, but I have been using the same pencil tip for over a month with no visible wear. I am a graphic designer so I use my pencil almost every day for work or other uses, and it has been consistent and nice. The texture is really great on my screen and offers a nice amount of resistance without impacting pencil stability too much. The different hardness levels give a different feel of the pencil against my screen, but don't seem to wear like the official pencil tips. I haven't given them all a try, but I know this set will last me a long time.

I was prepared to not like these tips. I have used special screens of many different varieties for more than ten years to provide some tooth to the drawing experience using an Apple Pencil on an iPad. All of the films really dulled the vibrancy of the screen but it seems I had no choice because I simply could not learn to draw well on the naked glass. I purchased an iPad Pro M4 and was just sick at using a film again and losing the beauty of the screen. So I tried these tips. They are perfect for me. That may not be true for everyone but these provided enough tooth to give me great control of the pencil. I draw several hours a day usually in Procreate and Sketchbook Pro. It’s become mostly a seamless experience now where I forget that I’m drawing on a device (I also still draw using traditional media and tools). I’m so happy that I don’t have to rely on the screens anymore.

These tips are SLIGHTLY ‘quieter’ than the tip that comes with the Apple pencil. So, ‘softness’ is relatively more - don’t expect rubber tip feeling, that won’t give you the accuracy. Quieter enough that I’m less worried about distracting others in a meeting when using them. Accuracy seems similar. 1 star deducted as the tips do seem to split/crack after a few months (even when protected by a cover). But they are cheap enough that it’s a fair deal.

These are awesome! They look exactly how they're advertised in all the pictures. The HB nibs feel similar, if not identical, to the default Apple Pencil nib. The 2B nibs feel softer when using, causing more friction as you work across the screen. I don't feel a particular difference to the black and white nibs of either hardness (2B/HB) - I came to the conclusion (MY conclusion) that it's purely aesthetic/preference. The white nibs, however, do get dirty fairly easy - easier & quicker compared to the default nib. They're for sure made out of a different material than the default (is why I think this is...). Another downside to the 2B nibs is that, when pressing decently hard on the screen while moving, they tend to squeak. Just a bit. Overall, I have no qualms with this product. I think there's a lot of nibs with a decent amount of variations (color, hardness) to where I am satisfied with this product! PROS: + different feels of writing + a lot of spares CONS: - get dirty (?) easily - 2B sometimes squeaks when writing with SIDE NOTE: * As a frequent digital artist, I like using the 2B nibs for drawing (especially for long hours) and HB for writing/other uses
