$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.

[@DammitJeff]

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

The knock off is great for Ibis paint x, or other apps that DON’T require pressure sensitivity but can mimic an Apple Pencil drawing experience.

[@techyrock]

Bro you must living under a rock if you have never seen a plug like that your ENTIRE LIFE?? Before majority of the pre 2007 Nokia phones were using this plug it was so common around the globe that these plugs along with some famous Nokia phone batteries made their way to similar cheap products e.g speakers,Bluetooth headset other dumb phones and a lot more

[@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!

[@rodysaavedra1624]

Hey bro, one question, do u know if its compatible with Good Notes or Notability?, Íve been really thinking about getting a cheap stylus instead of the apple pencil.

Does it work the same as the real one? I mean the latency.

[@nsf3123]

@@Shup_bowl_ In terms of latency, it’s very good actually! At least, I was surprised, it being such a cheap stylus. I don’t actually own an apple pencil, but I do have a Logitech Crayon, which has a very similar technology built into it. Comparing those two, they’re about the same!

[@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.

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.
