Have you been dying to get yourself an iPad pencil but just cannot justify that $100 + price tag? Well, you will definitely want to read on to learn about what I believe is the greatest DUPE for the iPad pencil at a fraction of the price! (Products linked below post!)
Whether it be digital planning, drawing, writing, navigating or any other reason you would want the iPad pencil, that $100+ price tag just is not in all our budgets. I went through quite a few iPad pencil dupes before I ended up finding the BEST ONE!
It can be tough finding the best iPad pencil dupe especially when they all look very similar and have almost the same descriptions on Amazon. Then, when you get them in your hands after ordering them, you become disappointed because they just don’t perform that well.
Lucky for you, I have gone through several & about 8 months ago, I found the best dupe for the Apple Pencil & have been using it & loving it since.
Let’s get into the details of this product. First, the one I found looks very similar to the Apple Pencil. It is all white, including the nib & also has one flat side to keep it from rolling off a surface when you lay it down.
This dupe is also rechargeable. A simple charging port in the upper side of the pencil/stylus & the charging cable plugs right into any USB port, including a wall connector. Which is great compared to the Apple Pencil series 1 considering that could only be charged by being placed into your iPad charging port causing it to stick out until charged. (Ugh.)
To turn the stylus dupe on, you simply tap the top and to turn it off you do the same. The only downfall to this is if you’re anything like me and talk with your hands or multitask & bump the top of your stylus on a table or anything, it will turn off and when you go to start using it you think it may have dies but in fact, it just turned off when you bumped it. At first it drove me a little nuts because I kept forgetting it happens when I bump it. But, as I got used to it, a quick tap and its back on and I am good to go! It no longer bothers me.
The battery life is a huge deal to me on these sort of products. I will say, this stylus has a wonderful battery life. I have only had to charge it a couple times since I got it, however I do not use it everyday. But when I was using it daily for digital planning, I got a couple weeks of battery out of it before charging it again. So that’s a plus!
The absolute BEST perk of this stylus in particular is that it has PALM REJECTION! If you have not used a stylus with palm rejection before, it will change your life. It gives you a natural writing experience. Palm rejection basically means you can rest your palm/hand/wrist on the screen while writing with your stylus and it will not cause any conflict with your writing tool. IT IS AMAZING!
If you use the Goodnotes5 app for your iPad writing needs (which i highly recommend), this pencil dupe pairs amazingly with it! Once you connect your stylus with the app (which it thinks is an Apple Pencil & you connect it the same way), you never have to connect it again. Everytime you go to use the app it already knows you will be using your stylus. This is so convenient. When using the app, you can use your fingers to turn pages without your fingers being able to draw on the page and your pencil dupe to actually do the drawing or writing. It is very intuitive.
Finally, another EXTREMELY AMAING FANTASTIC WONDERFUL perk of this pencil dupe is its PRECISION! So many other super out there are horrible when you go to write or draw. When you put the tip of your stylus down the mark appears in a different place causing inaccuracy. BUT, THIS DUPE is precise! It makes the mark exactly where you put that tip. It is so precise I can color in the lines of anything and add tiny little detail to whatever I am doing. This is a BIG DEAL especially if you are doing digital art.
I do not have anything bad to say about this product. I am truly a fan & so happy I researched & tested many stylus dupes out to come across this one in particular. Plus, at the affordable pice point of the pencil dupe (linked below) & the fact that it is on prime.. you can save money & get your new iPad pencil dupe delivered to you ASAP!
