Zagg Pro Stylus for iPad Pro: A Magnetic Apple Pencil Alternative...

[@georgeclark397]

I purchased the Apple Pencil along with this one yesterday. I actually brought the Apple Pencil back because I loved the functionality of this one. The rubber stylus on the other side made the difference. You don’t have to use your finger to swipe and go home. You can actually keep the stylus in your hand and never use your finger. Apple Pencil don’t allow that convenience

[@rramnel]

I watch many tech videos on KZbin and I find yours to be the most useful. Others spend so much time on background music, video production and the content itself is not useful. I have made a couple of purchases after watching your videos which I never did after watching videos from other popular tech KZbinrs. And I’m also happy with those purchases. Thanks a lot for videos.

[@georgeclark397]

By the way. If you tilt the zagg side ways while writing. It will bold your writing. That’s the work around for not having pressure sensitivity.

[@chiuuuuuuuuuu]

Erase feature comes in very handy, but just got the switcheasy pencil you recommended just for note taking. Loving it so far. Great video!

[@Guille0195]

How do you set up the back end of this pencil as an Eraser? I can't seem to connect it that way

[@jeanhawks4682]

Are there sleeves for the Switcheasy pencil??

[@cdrchrrs]

I bought this stylus after viewing your review. You did great work, and Zagg should have paid you A BAG. Glad to see your channel’s back in business, too, bruv…

[@rjlramos]

I saw this stocked at my local Apple authorized retailer and it's really interesting, so I looked for reviews. Thanks for the very thorough video. I don't want to give more money to Apple than necessary, and at half the price of the Apple Pencil, I can probably try to work around not having pressure sensitivity and wireless charging.

[@majorwakanda8858]

No wireless charging kills it for me. Need a black Apple Pencil.

[@themakeupmoron9990]

You had me at “the broad tip doubled as an eraser in procreate.” Buying it now! Thank you so much for the info.

[@brainstormart]

That eraser feature it’s what’s missing in the Apple Pencil. Really wish they would add that! I would buy this just for that feature alone.

[@iuruoy-shao]

If you have a first gen apple pencil, you can get a replacement cap with a rubber stylus tip on it, so it would essentially work similarly to this.

[@jaydendickson]

The double tap to switch to eraser on 2nd gen Apple Pencil is so much faster than flipping this stylus around. Believe me, I have one. It seems that some people are unaware of the feature.

[@joseramos4087]

Not only thing it needs

[@conicthehedgehog9166]

@@jaydendickson it feels more traditional to flip the pencil lol

[@jinz4246]

agree, having to tap it twice all the time is annoying, as I am more used to just instinctively turn it around.

[@LloydScott331]

I have an iPad Pro 12.9, got my stylus from Zagg this week, found discount codes, and was pleasantly surprised that the stylus end, not the tip, works really well on the Z Fold2 phone! I'm glad you mentioned to disconnect your apple pencil. Spent an hour trying to figure out why it wasn't working with my iPad.

[@garygarcia7016]

Is it the first Gen? That's the one I have....

[@waterwolf982]

I already disconnected my apple pencil- but I cannot seem to get it to work. I'm glad yours is working though!

[@DawnShinto]

Dope video. Bought this just now. ZaGG is having a 40% off entire store online for Black Friday.

[@reannarichardson3978]

I think this one is my fav so far. Think I may have to buy this.

[@cdrchrrs]

It’s worth it. Also, Zagg is great with warranty handling. The only downside is finding replacement tips without having to file a warranty claim.

[@r_u_3d]

@@cdrchrrs this is the reason why it isnt worth it. Shipping your stylus to them and back costs as much as half a new stylus. And each time you ship the stylus you can’t work. I’m very disappointed in this product since I was stupid enough to buy it💔

[@tdjncable]

This is exactly the video I was looking for! Thanks for keeping it short, while highly informative and fun to watch!

[@baazilhassan4406]

no offense but please don’t look down on pressure sensitivity like that! many students rely on it for: drawing, note taking, calligraphy and more! if u can find a pencil that has it that would be amazing!

[@nisanur5060]

heyy!! this might be late but the adonit note plus does come with pressure sensitivity, but it only works for spesific apps which they listed on their website

[@hans2400]

almost all pencils other then the Apple Pencil itself don’t have pressure sensitivity because at that point I’d just be dumb for apple to allow 3rd party integration to that extent… the closest ur getting is Logitech crayon

[@LoreLibrary-Official]

[@jakedunlap8809]

Awesome alternative ! I’m glad that Best buy sells

[@picnicphoto]

Very nice stylus and would work for me most of the time, good price--BUT I have the Pencil 1 (bought for original Ipad Pro 12.9) that I use with my Mini--and it drives me crazy because I have to charge it relatively often (I don't charge through the port). One of the things I love about my Pencil 2 is that it is always charged--I never have to stop and charge it (I do use the Pencil quite a bit). I do really like the eraser end although you can choose to use double tap to switch between writing and erase on Pencil 2.

[@neamulm]

Brilliant video! I've watched several on apple pencil alts and yours are by far the best. Only thing I'd request (as your opinion on this is a weighty one) for your subscribers, is to comment on what you'd recommend out of Zagg, switcheasy, TiMOVO and RaserBasilisk, among any others you have reviewed. Would love your top recommendation please. Thanks! (Ps yep....you deserve more subs...you have one more from the UK in me :)

[@cdrchrrs]

Zagg >> Switcheasy >> TiMOVO. I’m not familiar with RaserBasilisk.

[@cdrchrrs]

I own the Zagg model (using it right now) and a JamJake model. I had to return the Switcheasy due to problems finding replacement tips and bad customer service.

[@charlesleonard9459]

As always you answer the questions most people have. I didn't hear you mention the price but easy to click on the link and get it. If you do find any apps that are problematic please update.

[@lamiafarjana1990]

he didn't clearly say it has pressure sensitivity or not... that part was confusing to me

[@toggledfall]

@@lamiafarjana1990 it doesn’t have pressure sensibility but when you tilt the pen it simulates 2 pressure levels

Thx so much

[@misselegantstyle]

Because of you I went and bought it I hope it is convenient for me .

[@jinz4246]

The erasing function and the tilt is what makes this pencil better than the rest, as I come from drawing tablets and before paper drawing, sadly it does work only with procreate, at least of the ones I have try. I work with fresco, because you know is better for professional work and the ability to switch around other adobe products because of the cloud, and I am not sure about the half price vs 2 and a half pressure points from the apple pen (not like the 2 and a half pressure points from the apple pen can compete with drawing pads and tablets, but you know they are expensive. If they would make the erasing function work in fresco I would prefer the zagg over an apple pen, but at the moment I have my kid use it and I use the apple pen.

This pen is not even pressure sensitive like the Apple pen which works great on Procreate. This not considered an artist pen when you use Procreate.

[@obidean3964]

If you're artist, it's kinda silly if you don't buy Apple Pencil tbh. This is perfectly decent for most average users really ...

where to purchase the tip for this pencil? i searched on shopee but all it came out is apple pencil tip so i’m not so sure if i can use apple pencil’s tip for this stylus pro pencil

[@naiah1450]

Which do you think is a better alternative, this one or the SwtichEasy Easy Pencil that you reviewed back in April?

[@ym1065]

Don’t get the zagg pro stylus. They don’t sell replacement tips and once it breaks -which doesn’t take long- you’re stuck with a 70 dollar pen that doesn’t work. Mine is literally taped together right now.

[@MPKOpera]

Does the “eraser” feature work in other applications (ie Notes) ?

[@camilazarazua1898]

Probably not because procreate has a specific feature where you can use your “finger” to erase and in this case you can just use the other side of this pencil to erase. As far as I know, no other application has this feature

[@TheAverageTechGuy]

Right this is only for Procreate. It mimmicks the finger so it erases
