This is a third-party active stylus for Apple's standard iPads, with palm rejection, tilt support and a 1.5 mm tip. It charges fast and attaches magnetically to the iPad's side, but it has no pressure sensitivity and no Bluetooth, so it cannot do the pressure-based shading an Apple Pencil does. It suits students and note-takers who want a responsive pen for writing and light drawing at a fraction of the Apple Pencil's cost. Reviewers rate it well overall, praising responsiveness and value while noting the missing pressure sensitivity and the lack of a pairing indicator.
