- 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?

Thanks for this crisp video! I wanted one for my son and all those different options are overwhelming. Now I have a shorter list to look at.
Nice video! Apple Pencil is way more expensive and only recommended for artists. Students and passive note takers can use the other alternatives.
Fax
I am an artist and im using penoval its very fine
If you can afford iPad Pro you should go for apple pencil
@@whereisaxus true but you don’t have pen pressure
there is no reason to pay more then you should @@pushpak4240
Thank you Fernando for the video. Concise and to the point. I’ve been considering a pencil for my new iPad Air…you provided great insight into more affordable options.
Thanks for taking the time to share options with us 😊
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.
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.
Good to know there’s some budget alternatives for someone like me who doesn’t own one but isn’t completely sure they wanna spend a c note to buy one. Thanks for the video!
Very timely video! I just ordered an iPad 10th Gen and was curious about Apple Pencil alternatives. Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!
I needed to see this! Getting a new iPad Pro in a few weeks and it’s as someone who’s going to use it for productivity, this video is perfect! Subbed 🎉
You mentioned using a screen cover at all times and I wondered if this was to protect the screen or give the pencil a more tactile feeling when in use?
I bought an alternative for under $15CDN and it works on all my tech! I bought another for my 9 yr old grandson since he was always using mine. I did by an apple 2nd gen for my recent mini but that’s all it works on. The ones from Temu are great, easy on/off and charge seems to last forever.
Mind sharing the link? I’m looking for something under $15CAD and I’m going to trust your review. 😊
Great video Fernando! Very informative. It’s good to see quality and less expensive alternatives
idk if I missed it but did you mention palm rejection for the first two?
Thank you for testing. 🙏 I have a question: Has the EIP Pro a pressure sensitivity? I need a pencil with this for Handlettering in Procreate...
Very helpful video! Deeply appreciated!
Thank you for testing in other apps other than notes. Like general use such as scribblle etc
I agree with you, I don’t see the need to get the Apple Pencil 2 when the alternative does the almost the same thing. Thank you for breaking that down. Glad I didn’t waste my money..😊
Is there a new link bc the first two are sending you to a different item? I have the 9th generation 10.2 iPad
Just lost my Apple Pencil 2, perfect timing on the video!
I need a pencil for Shapr 3D CAD app on iPad. I need to be able to left, right and center click. Which pencil is best for that? Thanks!
will it open a new note on the iPad from standby mode by touching the pencil to the screen?
eip pencil pro or logitech crayon 2 gen
what do you think is better?
@9to5mac I've bought the eip pro pencil, but unfortunately it seems to be not pressure sensitive (:
Would the EIP Pencil Pro work with the iPad 9, and if it does how would I charge it?
Amazing video! I can say the Apple Pen is REALLY EXPENSIVE, so thank you so much to give us many budget-friendly options. All I care about is if it works good and doesn’t lag!!
can i use the eip pencil for an ipad that requires the 1st generation of apple pencil?
I have the Goojodoq GD 13 Pencil that like the EIP and Apple Pencil Magnetically Wireless charges the only two things it dose not do is Pressure Sensitive and double tap to change functions. 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.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi, will the elip pencil support ipad air 6gen 2024?
Can these substitute pencils be used with Android
phones/tablets as well?
Hi, is there an alternative Apple Pencil for an IPad Pro 9.7” (Model: A1673, Year: 2016)? 🤔
Hello, can you linked me amazon pencil links for Ipad 9 generation? Cheaper versions. Thanks in advance.
Do these work with procreate? Do they work with the side of the tip?
I bought one alternative pencil and it surprisingly works. And it works with all iPads that support and Apple Pencil, be it 1st or 2nd gen., at a fraction of the cost.
Where did you buy?what’s its name
do any of these alternatives work well with the iPad mini?
Super cool, finally a cheaper replacement but how do you erase, I guess you have to go to the menu every time 😮
Good one. But does the alternative ones support pressure sensitivity? I know they have tilt support but just wanna check the pressure sensitivity too. If yes, then they are worth it.
nope most of the alternatives don't have pressure sensitivity but they do have tilt which is good not gonna lie
The eiip does have pressure sensitivity.
so helpful!!
Neat and well described 😊
Does the eip work with glass screen protectors
Very good video. Great information.
I just purchased another Apple Pencil Gen 2 this very date. Unfortunately your vid was posted after I purchased the pencil. The one I had to replace was just two years old. Like a previous one, it stopped fully functioning. Fortunately a genuine Apple Pencil gen 2 was on sale by Apple store for $89. But I am bookmarking your vid so I can look at alternate pencils going forward.
Is there any option with doble tap shortcuts ?
I got a knock off from Amazon a year or so ago that charges via USB-C. Does everything I need it to do. Just wished it did the wireless charging. I may have to invest in the EIP for that reason.
Great review.
👏👏 Your video Fernando, is just what I needed to see. Apple products are unique, but why pay so much extra cash when you simply don’t need to? Thanks for linking alternative brands that will help me with what I need!!
Thanks for your videos, thanks for the opportunity and good luck to everyone!
Thanks for another informative video! I was wondering about the Logitech Crayon as well since Apple sells it on their own website and a lot of people seem to choose that over the Apple Pencil.
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 don't draw or sketch, so I can't speak to that.
If you like the feel of the wide, flat surface then it’s ok. I don’t because you can really only hold it one way.
Do any of the stylus pencils work on an iPhone?
Thank you for information
Are these compatible with ipad air?
Good 2 Know! Thankz
Pressure sensitivity?
Thank you
I'm thinking about getting the iPad Pro, not sure which one I should get. For drawing, I think 11inch would fit, what would you recommend? Also, which pencil would you recommend the best for this?
Cheers
So they stopped selling option 2 - the EIP Pro -- Have an alternative to the alternative?
A shutter button... like on the S-pens that came free with my Tab S9 Ultra and S23 Ultra ?
Good Video ✅
Good Vibes ✅
Massive amount of info about each pencil ✅
I do more than take notes, so think I will need to stick with the Official Apple Pencil for now.
Would love to see more reviews on pencils that would be better than the apple version.
Maybe they make an app for the pencil that allows more custom features to use....
I'm looking at you Pencil makers. :) Step up that Game and get yah Mac on!! :)
Nice video. The only thing that I didn't see you cover was that fact that most people use an iPad cover / folder / protecter etc. So for people that do. Would it still be possible to charge those pencils wireless??
Yes, it will charge right thru the case
I was actually looking for an alternative for the iPad Pro 2017 model. So essentially an alternative for the very first apple pen that came out if you have something for that, hit me back.
Thank you for this video. I have been debating on getting an apple pencil but it looks like I could easily get by with one of these alternatives!
I got the eIP pro for my new iPad 10th gen and it’s great!
If only it did pressure sensitive drawing.
without pressure sensitive drawing - these alternatives are useless for drawing apps... sadness.
but he said in the video it does have pressure sensitivity
I got one and so far really got $36 Australian. ONLY issue is it does disconnect often but it’s terrific otherwise
Great video but the sound is very low (in my opinion). Thanks a bunch
Good information
Would love a new apple pencil 2!
Does these work on iPhones ?
I bought my Generic Apple pen on Amazon for $31 bucks, comes with 3 Xtra tips and works fantastic 😍😍
4:47 So, is that just a normal “active stylus” since it’s not connecting to the iPad via btle? Will it work on other devices like iPhone?
No.
Most definitely an alternative, I didn't even realize these replica alternatives existed if It wasn't for my brother looking into them for his iPad.
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.
does it still work? 😊
@@leuel yes it does, still looks new from the first day I bought it
Which iPad do you have?
@@leilasmommy7365 air 5, check it out for yourself, it doesn’t disappoint
The Apple Pencil 2 is a tad bit overpriced, but the pressure sensitivity and low latency is worth it for people who need it.
Way over priced*
Double tap and wireless charging is important to my Apple Pencil user experience. I kinda hate pressure sensitivity as it makes my handwriting look worse actually and I don't really need it 99% of the time but the Apple Pencil cannot be replaced until there are buttons and wireless charging on the alternatives.
The eip does have wireless charging so that point is mute. As for the latency, if you’re just a regular person, you won’t notice much difference
I'm looking for a non Apple pencil for an iPad 9. The EIP pencil looked perfect except it seems to be no longer available. Arghh. Penoval's are still available.
Did you find a pencil for your 9th generation? I am looking for a pen too.
I need a Apple Pencil 3 with Find My and lower latency and I would be perfect
surprised/impressed the eip can mostly do it all. but this is apple's MO--innovate and then let it languish while they work on the next new thing.
Sir my iPad pro m1 external monitor not working. Can you please help me?
I use my ipad as primary device. Please help me sir
i purchsed kingone 3rd gen pencil after watching alot of reviews. i used it for 2 days and i am disappointed. the 2500rs kingone pencil lags alot while writing and that is very irritating. i returned it and ordered original apple pencil
The eip pro doesn't seem to have pressure sensitivity like you said. Can't find anything about it and I can't get it to work on my ipad
I've been getting videos like "Apple pencil killer for only $25!" And it's always like "oh this doesn't have pressure sensitivity"
I need it to draw dang it!
these do!
None of these alternatives you reviewed actually have pressure sensitivity. They have tilt sensitivity, but not pressure sensitivity. One third party stylus that does have it is the Adonit Note+.
Adonit is as expensive or more expensive than the apple pencil in my country 😕
dope video
I would prefer to have the pressure sensitivity but I think I can live without it
Agreed that the Apple Pencil 2 is way overpriced at this point given the lack of innovation and time it's been on the market.
That EIP Pencil looks intriguing!
That one looks great
I’m tired of people accusing Apple of brand loyalty- everyone that I know that loves Apple mostly recognizes their products come at a slightly higher cost point, but either love what they can do w/the products or are willing to wait a little while to enjoy what they might be able to do next. (Not flaming PCs which are still amazing, esp when they are in fact PCs…)
I agree the middle one is the best 🐬
I’ve always found that Apple’s pencils are better than the alternatives. But as others have said, if you don’t need the features, then get something cheaper. I don’t care what these things look like, colors, meh. It’s a stylus, not a fashion statement.
Good video
Thanks
Apple pencil needs a revamp
This pencil is not pressure sensitive. It is only tilt sensitive.
Logitech! Logitech! Logitech!
I just want an eraser, thats all
Apple saw this and dropped the price. To $110 lol
😂
Nice I hope I win. 🎉😅😅
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
latency = nope
@1:15 you say "let's talk about 3 different Pencil alternatives, at 3 different price points" but you only show 2!
and u got 817k subs!?!!?! cmon man ;) jk, thx for the vid, will prob pick up the mid tier
Bought an apple pencil 2 for 50 bucks
nah bro, where? I need that 🙏
@@kevindurag5116 bro it was from ebay, used but brand new still in warranty.
