- Welcome to today's video, which is all about the best iPad styluses or apple pencil alternatives. I went through and compared EVERYTHING about the pens, I hope I covered literally all the parts. WOOHOO, i hope this video helps you decide which apple pencil dupe you are interested in since these are MUCH cheaper and some do almost the same thing as the apple pencil!
The apple pencil can be expensive, so here are just my suggestions on which ones are the best. I'm going to walk through everything with you, and explain everything! btw, this video is all my own opinion, nothing sponsored :) đ
Also, a few weeks back I lost my apple pencil, it was behind the couch though, and I found it a few days later, but y'all I needed to write on my iPad, so I amazon primed some apple pencil alternatives and HERE is the video!

@@Oopsidkk ?
Does the jamjake stylus work with any iPad?
@@itssheni9916 nope it works with IOS 12 and later
1:57 what app is this called?
@@jkjkkb7549 procreate đđđ
When the pen behaves different because of the angle you hold it, that is actually called tilt support. Pressure sensitivity is just if it gets thicker when you adjust more pressure âš
LOL oops
Pressure sensitivity works based on the brush settings. It may get thicker when you oress, but it could also get DARKER, like pushing harder on a real pencil on paper. That is the #1 most important feature for any digital drawing styluses...
Without pressure sensitivity, they are completely useless for drawing. Tilt is "ok" but i VERY rarely use it.. i shade ALOT more with pressure than with tilting...
@@kevinlee8732 Exactly all this video did for me was justify the price of an actual Apple pencil.
Thicker or darker
ââ@@arandootsarandano depending on the app your using, and the brush settings, it'll be thicker or darker or both, or none for some brushes/apps
No my heart dropped when I heard that you lost your apple pencil-đ
bahahaha then i found it
@Otto Terrence is it legit-
@@AY34HA itâs not. Iâve seen this comment multiple of times and there would always be a single reply that it worked

@@jasmine_pangilinan Exactly. They actually come in groups. I have also seen many people like this. lmaođ
yes! I have the third pencil she showed and it works sooo well. The only thing Iâm sad about is the lack of pressure sensitivity, but other than that everything works perfectly the way I need it to and itâs only 30$! Also she mentioned dropping it and I will say Iâve dropped it a few times off the table and itâs fine.
ahaha that's great!! Yeah otherwise than no pressure sensitivity, it's really good!!
Where did you get it from

The 'rollability' was cute tho~

For the 2nd to last pen:
Those pens were made before apple pencils and smart styluses were a thing. I bought one a looong time ago and it was one of the best drawing pens. I still have mine and absolutely love.

@@joudyh Thank you!
@Nour Kullab WELL,DID YOU YET
@Nour Kullab I'll get the iPad 2020 (8th Gen) in July 19th
Seriously, thank you for taking time to create such an in-depth look at these pencils. I appreciate the perfect balance of information without it dragging into a super long video. And your slo-mo demos of the lag are brilliant. I learned a lot, even some new terms like Palm Rejection. What term!
For the hand palm rejection, you can buy a drawing glove. Itâs basically a glove that covers the part of your hand that touches the screen along with your pinkie so you donât get palm rejection problem.
Or⊠you buy what you think is a pair of white cotton gloves but turns out to be 100 gloves, so you cut them up to make the palm protector and give them out to all your friends at art school! â€
Are we gonna talk about how nice her handwriting is!?
Here are the apple pencil alternatives:
Logitech Crayon: amzn.to/3tn6rPR
JamJake Stylus: amzn.to/2T0JYLP
Plastic Disk, Metal Ball: amzn.to/3qVIXQ2
The third pen is what I have and itâs been working for over a year and I barely have to replace the tips definitely recommend for people who are on a budget, but wonât recommend for any artist. Itâs super durable tho!
Same here!! I have also dropped mine many times and is still staying strong haha
Is it good for preparing notes, or for teaching?
I heard the battery life is poor is this true?
@@rasinrs I use it for note taking and itâs working pretty good for me
@@aarongeorge3491Iâm not sure how long the apple pen lasts for comparison but mine averages between 3-4 days with constant use, it takes about 40ish minutes to fully charge
I have the two-sided pen with mesh and disc tip and use it on Android. The disc tip I liked at first since it has a precise point and good visibility from overhead, but it became dirty within a few days and started to skid a little bit. The mesh tip on the other hand has been a trooper and I discovered that it has a secret advantage for sketching: you can use a horizontal grip with it and still get good registration. This is great for artists since the horizontal grip lets you stay loose, see what you're doing and not grip it too hard. I now sketch on my phone and then bring it to the computer with a Wacom tablet to ink; Wacom pens don't do sketching nearly as well, they rely on having the nib be pushed in.
This was actually a great video. Last week for some reason my Apple Pencil just wouldnât connect to my iPad and we tried so hard to get it back. (But Iâm guessing itâs broken). Glad this video showed me on what else I could buy instead of wasting my money on another pencil đ
1:09 THAT GLITCH EFFECT SCARED ME SO MUCH I THOUGHT MY PHONEâS SCREEN BROKE
ME TOO
Dude i got scared too
oop sorry đ
You know I didn't even notice it until I saw your comment
True I was working on 5% so I thought maybe that's why
Is nobody else impressed with how neat her handwriting is? đź
For the last two styluses, they require an artist glove for hand palm rejection ( can also be used for studying not just for drawing ) and also it doesnât connect by Bluetooth or by a button or something, they use the electricity since our hands do sorta conduct electricity(I donât know how to say it)but a small amount of it and thatâs how capacitive screens work, some of them just require touching It so just using a pen and putting pressure on a screen would work for it.
Back when I was looking for alternatives to the Apple Pencil, every video was "all of the alternatives are trash, except maybe the Logitech crayon (but not really). Just buy the Apple Pencil" and I did buy the Apple Pencil because I wanted it primarily for drawing. Still, I was left with the feeling that if I wanted it only for writing, the Apple Pencil was still the only good option. Thank you for offering good and cheaper options
Hey there Emily, thanks for this really great video!
I'm a Surface Pro User and I love how the writing through its pen feels, but the computer does not fit my needs anymore. While designing, I write a lot, so I was thinking to move to iPad with a pen. I have some questions for you:
- Did you ever try Bamboo Fineline 3 for writing? If so, what about?
- While writing with Apple Pencil, at a certain inclination of the pen, I felt a lot of friction (probably depends on how I keep the pencil while I write with palm on the screen - my hands are quite big, people say), and I'd like something with less friction (like Surface Pro's pen do). Do you feel the same while writing with Apple Pencil? How was the friction with the Logitech and JamJake? Do you have any other suggestions about how to reduce friction/resistance and increase "slipperiness"?
Thank you!
Iâm actually trying to find a different stylus to use with my current iPad Air 2 because my universal pen is now broken(lost disc nibs, broke one, I donât like the mesh side) so this video really gave me some recommendations and a place as to where I can start looking for my perfect stylus. So thank you for this video!!
Hi...just wanted to ask...did u purchase the pen and is it working on ur iPad Air2?
After having used it and others for a while, I have come to the realization that the Apple Pencil is absolutely not overpriced. Itâs such a good value and works incredibly well. For artists it is an amazing tool. Other stylus devices are good, but they always miss one thing like pressure or angle or something
Do you use it On photoshop
I still think 129 is pricey. But thier selling the Apple Pencil for 89 bucks rn, which is a good deal
The reason why you think it isnât pricey isnât because its a good value for money, but because of capitalism đ
@@jad7691 no, it's because considering how I use it and what I make, it is a reasonable business expense
I am getting the logitech crayon đ for Eid. I am so happy. And thank you for making this video. You're so sweet. I haven't been able to select an Apple pencil alternative. But now I finally selected the logitech crayon đ. Thank you. It'll be coming today. I am excited.
Hhhhhh what a coincidence, 1 year later and it is Eid now too and I getting crayon too. Eid Mubarak
Iâm so happy Iâm seeing this I plan on getting the new 10th gen iPad and after seeing it only works with the first gen apple pen (which I donât like at all) seeing alternatives for a cheaper price is wonderful
thank you so much for the recommendations!
Great timing. I spent 2 days looking for my apple pencil and was set to buy a new one when I found it under the bed. Sadly though for me I need the better drawing features of the apple pencil but for writing and note taking I think I'd buy the 30 dollar one for when I'm not drawing but taking notes for when the apple pencil is charging
Ahhh I've been waiting for someone to make this vid!! Love it!
for some reason, my friends 2nd gen apple pencil writes even without touching the screen. it starts writing wehn elevating it above the screen a little. its weird, have you experienced that? btw she uses the ipad air with it
edit: the reason for that is a scratch in the tip. she tried it from every side without scratches, and that weird thing did not happen. only from the scratch. so people with that problem, check ur tips, if there is any damage, replace teh tip
Doesn't happen with mine
ahahah ya idk, it's a glitch in the ipads đ©
@@emilystudying yeah, most likely. Because mine doesnât hover-like a mouse would. I was wondering why, and now I know itâs a glitch, lol.
oof thx for this btw, my pencil does that too
It does that because modern touch screens are Capacitive whereas old ones were Resistive. Yours has a defective discharge magnitude.
I go to a Worcester county school district we use these pens, and I can confirm that the Logitech pencil is amazing for both left handed and right handed people. Iâm left handed and I have a hard time finding pens that fit well in my hand (that could be just me tho) and it writes amazingly well, itâs a great pen honestly :)
I use the Logictech crayon! I think itâs an excellent alternative since I wasnât able to afford an apple pencil, I love it!
iâm so glad i found this! was deciding which pencil to get
This video helped me a lot on which one to buy. Great material, thank you!
your penmanship is really good, I almost thought that was a handwriting app that would use its own font up until you used those other pens, Cool reviews of most the pens. I was wondering what pen to get if not just the apple pen. If only there was another manufacturer that would make it charge magnetically but maybe not touch sensitivity then I would really like it.
The logi pencil is literally the pencil my school gives all the students lol
Wow you must be lucky to have a school that will put 70$ in pencils for students !
Sameee
Thank you! So helpful, just what I was looking for â€
I got the 30 dollar dupe from Amazon! Iâm excited for it! I didnât see this before hand but I will love it either way
Hope you like it!
Honestly, like, this is a really, really good video. Literally.
This is so awesome for me because I have an iPad pen but not an Apple Pencil because it is so expensive and it has 0 hand-palm rejection which I absolutely LOATHE! I saw a pencil on her that I am in love with and Iâm gonna see if I can find it in the store, if not I have no problem ordering it because I am really looking for an upgrade, and I might give my current one to my sister (if and) when she gets her iPad.
thank u for this!! the apple pencil is really expensive where i live so i really needed this!!

I recommend against the knockoffs. They have been a headache due to their unreliability. This is coming from a guy that used them for 4 months and burned through 2 of them in that time period. Both have failed me miserably. At times, they wouldnt write at certain angles so I have had to adjust and write in a weird position. They also skip at times, forcing me to erase and rewrite.
I have burned through 8 nibs during those 4 months, which could have gotten me another knockoff pencil. I would just get an authentic or apple certified one. Less issues, for sure. I got a used crayon for under $40, which was a steal given how new they were in.
Hi, I just bought the third pencil thanks to this video and I love it. Thank you so much for this recommendation. I am so happy đ„°
Thank you so much for this. My Ipad is really old but still works really well and I didnât want to but an apple pencil because I was worried it wouldnât work. I think I am going to try out the JamJake one!
I am waiting for pen and marker haul review đđ
This is awesome! I recently gave my young niece, she's about 7, my old ipad just so she could use for her homework and school. I was afraid of purchasing a whole new pencil as my old apple pencil 1 broke, and I didn't want to purchase a $100 pencil that she might end up losing at school. The $30 seems like an awesome alternative for her as long as I give her a case so that it can last some time.
Can you do a video on title ideas for notes on an ipad? đ Love your videos!!! They're so motivational!!!
Thank you so much, this video has helped me a lot as I am a graphic design student and an artist.
Well done!!!
The best tablet pencil video out there. You earned a sub and a like. Keep up the great videos!
God bless you.
I was just watching one of your videos when the notification came! Perfect timing, lol
ooooh yayyyy!!!
Great job on the reviews! Iâve been on the fence about buying a stylus & did not want to pay over $100 for Apple Pencil. Appreciate this!
THANK YOU!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!! Your voice is very soothing too. đđđđâ€ïž
Yassss!!! I was actually just looking for an alternative!!
I bought the JamJake pencil a while ago and I actually really like it! Itâs super cheap so youâre not gonna miss out on a whole lot of money if you hate it, but I like it. Then again Iâve never tried an actual Apple Pencil so I have nothing to compare it to lol
Edit: One drawback to it that Iâve noticed is the on button is very sensitive to anything touching it, and Iâm not sure why but my pencil turns on/off with only one tap, not two. So I accidentally turn it on/off all the time when Iâm in the middle of working on something.
I heard the battery life is poor is this true?
@@aarongeorge3491 Itâs not super great but it usually lasts at least a few days, thats more than I need haha

I remember improvig my experience with one of those freebie style stylus things by attaching the rubber tipped pen cap to the blunt end of a metal crochet hook đ€Ł like i kid you not it worked so much nicer. Was still a nightmare to work with, but the crochet hook made it a more reliable nightmare.

so excited! getting the meko pen đ€§đ·
Good job. You pointed out the important advantages of paying an extra $100, and clearly explained who might want or need those unique features. Thanks.
Honestly I feel like the Apple Pencil is the best one and most compatible with Apple os. And you can for sure find it for cheaper online. I kinda wish I got an Apple Pencil instead of the crayon
Pressure sensitivity, fastest charging and best battery life, charges magnetically. Yeah none of the off brand pencils even come close.
I have the third one and it has done me very well! I have been using it for about 2 months now and I love it! Super on budget too :) also where can I get a grip? :D
I heard the battery life is poor is this true?
Detailed explanation, much appreciated !!
truly the only apple pencil alternative review you'll need for notetaking!
I have the Apple Pencil dupe, and honestly I recommend it too. U canât do iPad shortcuts like the real Apple Pencil does. But otherwise its great

Sheâs using the app âgood notesâ :)
Gimme a sec to appreciate how beautiful of your handwriting OMG It was so phenomenal.
Hi! I just wanted to say that I lover your videos! You are so inspiring and you helped me a lot actually, keep going!
The jamjake actually has pressure sensitivity built into the tilt! So the further back you tilt it, the thicker the line it gives you

Thanks for the detailed rundown on these Apple Pencil alternatives! It's great to have options that won't break the bank.

I use my iPad mainly for taking notes in lectures, so that's a crucial factor for me. Thanks again for the helpful video!

Hey! The Penoval is top tier, I only found one review that mentioned it. It has everything the Apple Pencil has, including pressure sensitivity, just not the double tap to erasure feature. And it's 36$!!!
