MEKO Stylus Pen for iPad Pencil with Palm Rejection, Magnetic Attach, Tilt for Shadow, Compatible with iPad Pro 11 1-3rd, Pro 12.9 3-5th, iPad 6-8th, Air 3/4th, mini 5th

I was looking for a stylus for general use for iPad - not drawing. Whilst this has tilt sensitivity, it does not have pressure sensitivity, like the official pencil. I tried the official version (Apple Pencil 2) in the Apple Store and whilst it is undoubtedly a very good device, the cost of £119 was too much for me and I couldn't justify it. When I started looking at alternatives, I did not even initially consider the huge number of lookalike products, thinking that they would be cheap and nasty knock-offs. I had resigned myself to having to get something like the Logitech crayon, coming in at around £50. I read reviews and watched some online, which made me realise that I shouldn't discount the Apple Pencil clones.Having bought this pencil, I'm pleasantly surprised at the feel, build and usability of the device. It's accurate, doesn't seem to suffer from lag and has a good weight to it. It seems to do everything I needed, the main purpose being for note taking and annotations.If I was going to be nit-picky, it should be borne in mind that:i) You can't charge this by way of USB C (you have to use the magnetic connector provided, which you'll have to remember to have with you if out and about and of course not lose);ii) It's a little noisy in use on my tempered glass protector andiii) Unlike the Apple pencil, you can't tell what charge it's on from the iPad itself.All these small detractions are more than compensated by the sheer value this represents, when compared to the official pencil. It's early days so I can't comment on battery longevity yet, but very pleased indeed so far.

If you're reading this review you probably realise just how many copies of the Apple Pencil are out there. I have tried 4 of them plus the apple original one and this is the best one by far for the following reasons:This one performs and feels almost exactly like the original Gen 2 Apple Pencil in fact it's really hard to tell the difference.The magnetic charging cap is an excellent idea and saves having a micro USB port on the side of the pencil.Also, and even worse in my opinion many have the micro USB port in the end with a cap covering it which you have to take off to charge. The cap is sure to get lost over time and when it does your pencil will look really awful.The magnetic charger also means the power cycle button can be in the base of the device which is far better for ease of use. They have used a good quality switch for this and a clear LED indicator which is discreet and not large multicoloured and confusing like so many of the others on the market.All the others I tested, apart from the Apple original were between £25 and £30 so not only was this the best it is the more affordable.I will definitely be keeping this one and I've saved myself a great deal of money from the ridiculously overpriced £120 Apple Gen 2 original pencil.All you get that’s better with the Apple original is charging with no USB cable. With the magnetic charger provided with this device this functionality really doesn't matter that much and it's definitely not worth you parting with £100 of your hard earned money for.

The media could not be loaded. My daughter loves this pencil, easy to use on her ipad, easy to hold, charges well. Looks just like the real apple pencil and does exactly the same just cheaper. If your looking for a pencil for ipad then I highly recommend this one. Dont waste money buying an apple one when this does exactly the same and looks the same and this is alot cheaper. This also comes with a spare tip in the box with a charging cable. Amazing product and great value for money. So glad I purchased this.

Having never used an Apple Pencil before I wasn’t about to shell out for one when I only have a mini iPad.I’m really pleased with it, I’d recommend using paper like screen protector if you’re drawing but it’s thumbs up.It’s got a really long battery life & charges quick, my 4 yo uses it on Procreate to draw & has no issues so I’m pleased.

I was sceptical at first but it arrived and it was so easy to connect and use!! The palm rejection does work and it was so easy to pair all you had to do was press the button and it was good to go!! There’s little to no lag, not noticeable at all and it’s very good quality. very light to hold and cant wait to use this more!! A GREAT CHEAP alternative that does everything you need it to do!

I love that I can use this pen without having to have it attached to the Ipad to charge it. I have an apple pencil, and I have the 12.9 pro ipad. I use a stand to hold my ipad, so I can't have the apple pencil charging all the time...the Meko pen is brilliant, I have it stored on the back of my ipad, and when I need to use it, all I need to do is click the top of the pen and it turns on..it has a little green light so you can see when it's on and off. Charging the pen is also so much easier, I just charge it using the magnetic usb cable when it needs to be done. It's so easy, even my 18 month grand-daughter loves using it. Highly recommend

Lovely pen, nice to hold, exactly 20 mins to fully charge, magnetic charger is great 5 starsI bought the pen for my kids to use on the ipad. Much cheaper than the apple version and it does the main job well! The pen magnetically sticks to the ipad pro and it is very accurate on screen. Great product at a nice price.UpdateDaughter been using this for a while now no issues with it what’s so ever, can understand the negative feedback on this for the price,

Great for both artwork and writing. You know this is going to be a great product as soon as you open the box, it’s very well presented and the box is very clever, with a rubberised insert to keep everything safely in place, it has a real quality feel about it. I’ve just bought the new iPad Pro, only to find that my original Apple pen won’t work with the new iPad. At a fraction of the cost this MEKO stylus does absolutely everything I want it to. Fast charging, long battery life, comfortable to hold and really easy to use.
