  • The Apple Pencil 2 has been the exact same for almost 5 years. This has allowed the competition to really catch up. So are cheaper Apple pencils worth it?

    Fernando, thank you so much for bringing two more alternatives to the forefront other than the Apple Pencil or Logitech Crayon. I really like the fact the EIP has the magnetic charging feature. I don’t use the pencil I have for everything, yet it is nice to know it is there and available. Mine, unfortunately does not magnetically charge now does it have the pressure sensing technology. Thank you again for bringing a great review to protect the pockets of the end user.

  • @bikerscooby
    @bikerscooby Před 6 měsíci +7

    This video seems to be obsolete as the recommended "EIP Pro" product does not seem to exist any more and has been replaced with a less-functional "EIP" product without pressure sensitivity or magnetic charging. It charges only with USB-C. The old "EIP Pro" link now points to the inferior replacement product.

Other than that it works the same and it around $26.00 For it and it comes in Black as well but I am going to looking into the EIP pencil Pro as well.

      I bought the Logitech Crayon because I got tired of switching the Apple Pencil between my Pro and Mini. I prefer to use it with my iPad Pro, which I use for work and training. The flat crayon is so comfortable for writing.

    I ordered this one below from amazon in February of this year for $33 and it still works and looks like new.
    "KEEPRO Pencil 2nd Generation for iPad, Magnetic Wireless Charge Tilt Sensitivity Palm Rejection"
    Looks exactly like the Apple Pencil 2nd gen, Charges and Pairs (once) Magnetically to the side of the iPad like the real apple pencil, Tilt Sensitivity & Pixel Precision, Native Palm Rejection, Extra Replaceable Tips (which I haven't needed to replace yet).
    Definitely worth it if you're not an artist using their iPad for drawings, art in general or a graphic designer.
    More for like simple drawings, pdf signings, taking notes etc.
