ESR Stylus Pen for iPad, Magnetic Wireless Charging iPad Pencil, Digital Pencil Pro with Tilt Sensitivity and Palm Rejection for iPad Pro 12.9/11, iPad Air 5/4, and iPad Mini 6, Pink

Had this pen for about 2 months, I have no complaints, writes good, no connectivity issues, charges really quickly, and lightweight. I am not an artist so I don’t use it for any artistic purposes so I cannot give a review for that. I use it write notes and just navigate through my iPad and it works great for those!

It is the same as an apple pencil? No. It is pretty close. Yes. For the price? Yeah I'm just buying these from now on. Time will tell how long it lasts but I don't use my pencil every day so I didn't want to spend $100. This is a great compromise.

The pencil is great but it's not the one I thought it was. They had an older verison that used Find My, it wirlessly charged, it had a great grip, it also had a wireless charging puck to charge it, I would have paid $40 for that one, but this isn't that version so I returned it. If it is what you wanted though, it's magnet isn't that great, it connects flawlessly though, and it doesn't have palm rejection when you're writing with it or drawing, but it's still easy to use, it look good and that's about it, if that interests you, then this is the one for you.

It does charge wirelessly but not really magnetic charging. The magnet is so weak that the pencil doesn’t stick 🤦🏻 Just falls off even if you just look at it. There’s a blue light at the end to indicate that it’s on. But if you use it at night, that light becomes really annoying since it now points at your eyes. I have to cap it. As for the actual drawing on the pad, it works fine 🤷‍♂️

This ESR pencil works very well with my 2021 iPad Pro M1 for my needs, which so far has been for 3D CAD programs and to use Bambu Studio on my iPad via the Duet app. This lets me use the pencil to precisely "paint" 3D models in detail with selected colors for multi-color prints on my Bambu A1, so pressure sensitivity for color shades isn't needed. Other than using the power button to turn the pencil on and the lack of pressure sensitivity, the ESR pencil works just as well as the Apple Pencil 2 that I was previously borrowing from my son.

Do not buy! I received a defective unit. Rather than returning to Amazon, I reached out to esr customer service. They were responsive! They immediately answered. They immediately claimed to have shipped a replacement. They immediately did not ship a replacement. They immediately sold my email address.So, defective item, lies from customer service, onslaught of terrible spam.

Pretty good pencil, very responsive

My iPad is 3rd generation 12.9 inch iPad Pro. I bought it new in 2018. I bought it with the Apple Pencil. At that time, the Apple Pencil worked pretty well with the iPad. However recently, the Apple pencil’s function has gotten worse and worse, so I decided to see what other stylus might work with my iPad. I found an online review that led me to this one. It has the two features I was primarily looking for: it will magnetize itself to the side of my iPad, and it will charge itself while magnetized to the side of my iPad. Besides that, it really doesn’t work very well, at least with the app I really need it work with (ForScore). But it was $100 less than the Apple Pencil, and it’s better than not having a stylus at all.To clarify: when I say it “doesn’t work well” I mean that it misses about half the pencil strokes I make. And sometimes I will go back and make a pencil stroke again because I’ll notice it didn’t appear on the iPad, and then suddenly both pencil strokes are there, and then maybe sometimes they’ll blink out of existence, and only one of them will be there, or they’ll both disappear again. It makes writing with the pencil incredibly frustrating, especially when trying to take notes quickly in a musical rehearsal. Considering that I’m having the same problem with the Apple Pencil and with the stylus I’m reviewing now, it’s possible that it’s not fault of either pencil, and the problem may actually be with the app or with my iPad.
