Great review video! One thing that notices this M-Pencil 2 has the similar Apple pencil "glass knocking" sound when start writing? Do you think S-Pen has better writing feel compare to M-Pencil 2?

[@teohontech7141]

It has same hard knocking sound. S Pen has a softer tip so no tapping sound. Hard tip will write faster and when you write, you want to write fast

Finally a dedicated review of m-pencil2, it's looks like better take 2nd hand Tab s7 or iPad Air 4 than this. Btw I'm surprised Krita get that laggy in this device, bcoz I almost never get that lag in my Tab s4. Or is it bcoz the tilt?

Tbh krita keeps getting laggy with each update. The first version wasn't laggy at all idk what went wrong

@@kimichibreathandstinkyswea1940 some how I feel that too, when I first find it, it so smooth in my i5 tablet pc, but it's feel become slower after many update, especially v4.3.x but when I downgrade it, it still hv same performance like the newer one, it's like even when we uninstall it, it actually just hide it file system (even my default brush that I accidentally deleted, not comeback).so what only I can do is wait the next update, and use another app like csp/medibang when waiting.

Significant wobble and latency. Similar apps on tab s7 perform better with the s-pen. Just my opinion, though.

The wobble is comparable to S Pen. Latency will depend on the apps you use. That's why when companies market latency, they always mention tests with specific apps named. For all drawing apps I've tested, there are varying degrees of latency, applies to apps on even the best Samsung tablets.
