$17 Knock off vs $129 Apple Pencil 2 | Is this the best Apple Pencil alternative?

[@muhammadadireza7740]

0:32 it's actually written in korean, 애플펜슬 = Aepeul Penseul = Apple Pencil.

You’re absolutely right. Absolutely terrible arrow placement on my behalf, as I meant to point at the ridiculously long title the product had, not the korean characters. That's absolutely my fault, super sorry about that 😭 I appreciate the translation! 💖 Hope it’s okay if I pin this 🤗

I use the knock off one and I’m a artist. I can deal with the fact there is no pressure thing because you can change optically and thickness in 3 seconds on the side. So actually its pretty good. The battery life is 15 hours and for charging its only 2 hours. So i say its a very good alternative also for artist. Hope this helps

If the “knock off” has no pressure sensors or angle sensitivity, what are you charging it for? I mean, you can’t even double tap it.

[@heavenly1967]

That’s a good ass question

[@quaylintanksley3909]

not everyone is an artist. The pressure sensitivity only matters if you are an Artist or designer OR have the Ipad PRO the other Ipad models dont have the screen pressure sensitivity ANYWAYS those users would be paying more for a pencil and not even use the capabilities. The price difference is really a huge factor for virtually a universal stylus. I have been using the knock off for a year as a power user student, I purchased the USB C variant because it uses the same charger as the ipad air 4. Great alternative for about 25% of the price!

[@nsf3123]

@draco malfoy is cuteee Great question! That would depend on a couple of things. First, is your device a tablet or a smartphone? Do you want to use it for art or simply for note taking? And finally, how barely working is your device? If you have a tablet, then I would definitely recommend purchasing a stylus. Over the 5-6 months that I’ve been using a stylus with my iPad, I’ve never looked back on the purchase! It was 100% worth it. If you are using a smartphone, then it really depends on your usage of the device. If you are trying to do basic tasks, like note-taking, then it is a farely good buy. If you are wanting to do art, then that still depends on whether you are doing more detailed art or simple sketches. For in-depth artwork, I would say no, don’t get a stylus, as it will not work very well. Also, how “barely working” is your device? Is it’s screen broken? If so, then maybe save up and buy a new device, up to you. If it’s battery is starting to stutter, then I would still recommend purchasing a stylus, as you can simply use it with the device plugged in. Hope this helps! Nate

The pen is great to take notes, filling forms, etc… I’m very happy with it (because I’m not an artist, remember?) Mine charges via USB C and the battery lasts for a very long time. Ah, and the tips are thinner, not bulky like these ones, and it comes with half a dozen spare tips.

I really like to share with you guys that I was born as a left-handed person. I inherited this from my mom. But since when I was little, my grandma from my dad’s side hated my mom, so she forced me to switch it or she would punish me, just because of my last name “Song” is from my dad. That ended me up as a right-handed person now with stuttering problems and learning disorders

[@JMulvy]

The general consensus among digital artists, even with a matte screen protector, is that you should only have to replace your apple pencil nib once a year. So $15-$20 for a box of four is still a pretty good deal. I had a feeling that pressure and tilt sensitivity was going to be an issue.

[@wifi_tatsune]

I have a $100 apple pencil and in my opinion? It's very comfortable to use :) i used to have a knockoff, but it wasn't really an all-in-one convenience. My knockoff was exactly as you showed me trying to replace the tip. My parents bought it for me and I was quite sorry to have to get rid of it. The knock type wasn't bad. But the writing pressure was weak, sometimes it would randomly turn off and I thought it was the charging, and replacing the tip was a hassle, and that's about it. Charging is a mend. In conclusion, you may be asking yourself, "Which one is better, the Apple Pencil or the knock-off brand? Just go for what you want, however if you want something that will benefit you more than anything else (especially with drawing), definitely go for the apple pencil. If you want to imitate having an apple pencil, such as using an apple pencil, go for the knockoff. (sorry for my English).
