Excellent alternative to the original – works perfectly!
I am really impressed with this stylus. The palm rejection works flawlessly, allowing me to write and draw naturally without any accidental marks. The tilt sensitivity is a great touch for shading, and the magnetic attachment is strong and convenient for keeping it secured to my iPad. It feels high-quality in the hand and connected instantly without any lag. Definitely a fantastic value!

April 27, 2022 It was worth buying it.
I had an issue caused likely by Amazon’s mishandling on my 1st order and I contacted the seller and told them the condition of the pencil. Needless to say, they apologized and immediately resent me a replacement. I have been using it for just less than a day, but I tried it already for drawing to get a feel of it, I also have been writing on notes and similar other note apps and some of its other functionalities to tested out, since I just got it a few hours ago So far so good, I feel like I can work with it and such. Charging it is super easy with USBC and I think it charges fast too, based on what I’ve just seen. It turns off when you stop using to preserve battery and I think this is a great feature. Turning it back on is actually intuitive, by gently tapping it twice on top of it They say battery life is about 13 hours, if I’m not mistaken, but personal usability would determine that, but I think is good amount of hours for my personal use. Its magnetic attachment to the iPad itself, is really good I have to say, so I don’t get a sense that its going to fall off and that’s a good feeling. It feels right on the hand and it is not heavy, yet it has a quality feel to it and that is very important in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this alternative digital ESR pencil for sure

Good pencil for the money but a bit glitchy. Warranty is good.
Update: There were issues with the original pencil so I reached out to see if it was still under warranty and it was so they sent me a replacement pencil. The replacement pencil is better and can wirelessly charge or charge with a USB C cable. In the meantime I had gotten the real fruit pencil 2, and was using that with my ipad mini. But in our household we have various versions of the ipads, including Ipad 10th gen, which doesn't write with the fruit pencil 2, but this pencil writes on it no problem. I was quite frustrated at first knowing that my fruit pencil 2 wasn't compatible with all the ipad versions we had in our household but this one kind of solved the issues. I also like that I don't have to connect it via bluetooth to the device to use it. I think that is the biggest selling point. The tilt sensitivity seems to work better and works well with the note app on the ipad. I can't say I've noticed anything regarding the palm rejection on this replacement. Original: I purchased this pencil because I didn’t want to spend 5x more to purchase the Apple Pencil. This is a great alternative for the value of 1/5 the Apple Pencil costs. However there are small differences. I will not elaborate on charging and pressure sensitivity and other features that this pencil doesn’t claim to have. I used the notes app to test the pencil. This pencil is advertised with tilt sensitivity and palm rejection but after numerous hours using this product those two features are glitchy. This is the reason for the amount of stars given. Palm rejection works maybe 90% of the time. There are those moments when my hand is resting on the screen while I write with the pencil that it marks where my hand is resting too. I did have the “only draw with Apple Pencil” option turned on on my iPad. It didn’t happen often so I contacted customer service to ask if I was doing something wrong, they told me to change the nib, remove screen protector, and check issues with the iPad. Did all those things but issue still persisted. The second feature is the tilt sensitivity. I tilt the pencil like in the advertising photos but the tilt sensitivity has only worked with some pen settings I attempted. In the Notes app with the main pen setting (the one to the left of the highlighter) the line gets thicker and thinner with movement, not tilt. When I move the pencil nib across the screen really quickly, the line it leaves behind is thick. When I move slowly or at normal speed the line is thin. With the crayon setting (right of the highlighter), the tilt works. At this point, I'm not sure if it's the pencil or the pen setting. Other than these two features being an issue the battery life is great, the pencil feels good in the hands, you get an extra nib (but I don’t think ESR sells extra nibs at the time of this review), the magnets to attach it to the iPad’s side is strong, the double tap activation on top of the pencil is really responsive to turn it on and off, the lights on the side are useful to tell how much power is left because you can’t check via iPad how much power is left, and charging is not an issue with the cable but I am afraid of losing the little plastic dust protector for the charging port.

Great customer service and a good product too!
The first one I ordered had connection issues, it would disconnect after 1 second of use or not connect at all. I looked at the reviews and saw some people talking about inability to get a replacement if there were issues with the pen which made me nervous, but after trying to troubleshoot myself I ended up contacting customer service (via their website, not Amazon). Help was really quick, I assume they are in a different time zone so I would email in the evening and usually wake up to a response. After just a couple emails they decided to just send me a replacement, which was great! I didn’t have to fill anything out, send the original pen back, or go through any annoying process, they just sent a new pen to me free of charge through Amazon! It even came a couple days early! I just got it and so far it’s working PERFECTLY! I’ve never used an Apple Pencil, so I can’t really compare the two, but the pen has a nice weight to it and the connection to the ipad is fast and easy. Highly recommend to anyone wanting an apple pencil on a budget, this will be great for taking notes for college!

Good replacement for Apples pencil. Save hundred bucks for something the same quality.
These are a great replacement for an Apple Pencil and am very happy with them. Bought three of them and there holding up well. It works with our iPad Pro very well and our other iPads. Would highly recommend. One thing to note is that I had seen a video( on YouTube ) saying it works with Apple Find my… But have not been able to figure that out yet. Other than that great purchase!

Worth the money....IF
I really love this pen. I only use it for taking notes, but it is so responsive, has great battery life and is cheap. I didn't want to spend +$120 for an apple pencil just to take notes so this was a good compromise for me. It feels good holding it. It's light weight ans seems durable and not cheap.or flimsy. Functional and accurate. I think it's worth it ans then some for the value. 🤍🤍

Good dupe for Apple Pencil
I recently got an iPad mini 6. I was originally going to purchase the Apple Pencil but decided against it when I realized it would drain the iPad battery more quickly when connected. I appreciate that the ESR pencil can still be connected magnetically. While it does have a separate charging method, I don’t mind. So far, it seems to be working great. You don't have to connect it to Bluetooth, you tap the top of it and can get right to work. All the Scribble features work well so far. It works well with a matte screen protector on top of my tempered glass protector too. My only gripe so far is that it turns off after some inactivity. This pencil works for me as someone who wants to annotate and write on my screen. I'm not an illustrator so I'm not sure how it would perform for those purposes.

Great alternative for Apple Pencil
If you don't want to spend much on an Apple Pencil since you won't need the full scale functionality of the Apple Pencil then go for this one surely. If you want to use the Pencil for basic note taking and casual browsing then this is perfect. Haven't used it for drawing etc, so can't comment on the same. But using it extensively for note taking and writing, the feel is very nice in hand and doesn't slip out like Apple Pencil 1. USB - C charging is an added advantage. Though the product doesn't magnetically attach at the centre position on top of the iPad perfectly, it does so with a part of the pencil protruding a bit out of the iPad. Can easily fit in any iPad case, so this didn't bother me much.

El apple pencil de los pobres
La verdad es que, si lo comparo con el Apple Pencil 2, el original es más cómodo, inmediato, fácil y está siempre cargado por el iPad... pero vale casi 6 veces más. Muy recomendado sobre todo para notas, o como segundo pencil para los que se mueven mucho, pueden perderlo, etc. (ese es el uso que yo le doy). Se enciende pulsaldo su extremo dos veces. Se apaga tras unos minutos sin tocarlo o manualmente. Tiene tres leds que muestran la batería. Se carga por usb-c. Se pega al iPad por imanes exactamente igual que el original y tiene las mismas puntas de recambio, además de la misma forma y tamaño. Si lo tuyo es dibujar, el original tiene enormes ventajas (la principal es la precisión por su sensibilidad a la presión, que aquí no existe).
A**!
Very good quality👍🏻
Totally recommend👍🏻 bought 2 of the standard white, for iPad 6 and iPad Air 5 and it’s working brilliantly at a very reasonable price, totally recommend 👍🏻

Erstklassiger Stift, wenn man eine Alternative zum original Apple Pencil sucht
Der ESR Stylus ist ein preiswerter Stift für verschiedene iPad-Modelle, der eine gute Leistung bietet und sich für die Verwendung auf einer Vielzahl von Geräten eignet. Um ihn zu verwenden, muss er nur über die Doppeltipptaste aktiviert werden und benötigt keine Verbindung zu Bluetooth. Allerdings verfügt er nicht über eine Drucksensitivität, was ihn für kreatives Arbeiten weniger geeignet macht, aber das hat mich im Alltag überhaupt nicht gestört, denn der Stift wird hauptsächlich zum Erstellen von Notizen mit einem iPad 9. Gen in Verbindung mit einem Logitech Rugged Folio verwendet wird. (der ESR Stylus ist die Alternative zu meinem bisherigen Logitech Crayon).

Ottima pencil funziona benissimo
Peccato perché funziona egregiamente solo che la batteria non dura più di 40minuti si scarica subito, AGGIORNAMENTO come avevo detto prima la penna funziona perfettamente, il problema era la batteria, ESR mi ha mandato una nuova penna, e provandola effettivamente funziona bene come la prima ed in più la batteria supera abbondantemente le12 ore di scrittura, felice perché ora posso usarla a pieno e grazie ESR che e stata gentile e premurosa con un cliente.Peccato perché funziona egregiamente solo che la batteria non dura più di 40minuti si scarica subito.
