Our take on the Targus Active Stylus for iPad AMM174AMGL

The Targus Active Stylus is a budget-minded iPad pen that works without Bluetooth pairing. It has palm rejection, tilt support and a 1.7 mm fine point, and it accepts genuine Apple Pencil replacement tips. It lacks pressure sensitivity, so it suits note-takers, annotators and casual sketchers rather than artists who need line variation. Against the Apple Pencil it gives up pressure sensing and magnetic charging but keeps the core writing feel.

Pros
  • Palm rejection lets you rest your hand on the screen
  • Tilt support for shading and angled strokes
  • Fine 1.7 mm POM tip for precise control
  • Takes original Apple Pencil replacement tips
  • No Bluetooth pairing or app setup
  • Light at 0.48 oz and 6.5 in long
Cons

  • Standby battery figure of 90 days says little about active use
