Metapen Pencil A8 for Apple iPad 2018-2025 2X Faster Charge Tilt Sensitivity Pixel Precision Stylus Pen for iPad

Newer player in the stylus world but have had several but I find this one is my favorite by far. Love how it feels in my hand and how smoothly it works. Holds a charge well too. Awesome! Already bought another one too. Read more

I have had this pencil for over 6 months and it still works perfectly! I bought it to “test” out how much I would use an “Apple Pencil” and 6 months later I have no need to order an actual Apple Pencil because this one is perfect! Easily pairs with my iPad (and stays connected), the perfect tip for writing accurately in my Good Notes, and overall high quality for the price point! Read more

The product works great for our iPad 9th generation. Easy to use , charged it , turned it on and started using it. My 11 year old loves it. Read more

Parts missing. Charging cord and the 2 tips. The instructions sent weren’t even for the pencil. Contacted Metapen. They said it was a mismanaged Amazon return and said they will expedite a replacement. I will update once received. I received the charging cord, 2 pencil tips and another pencil. This was a Christmas present for my nine year old granddaughter. She is thrilled with the pencil and loves drawing on her iPad with it. Works great. Great customer service! 1 star missing due to original order missing parts, otherwise they would have earned 5 stars. Read more

I do not have a bad word to say about this pen. I used an Apple Pencil for about two years before switching to Metapen instead because Apple Pencil broke and the transition was absolutely seamless, if not better. First off, connecting the Metapen is a breeze. All you have to do is double tap the top of the pen and it's immediately turned on. With the Apple Pencil, I usually had to plug it into my iPad before it would even be connected. Metapen connects much easier than Apple Pencil. As for quality of writing and drawing, there is not a clear winner, but multiple pros and cons. Apple Pencil adjusts better to tilting the pen, so if you're writing on the side of the pen to increase line size (I mostly use the pencil for art), Apple is more sensitive to slant. Metapen, however, certainly reacts better to pressure. Apple can be wildly inconsistent with line size and pressure, whereas Metapen is more consistent with line size. Overall, there is not a difference in the writing and drawing functionality, and Metapen does the same things as Apple Pencil for much less money. As for durability, that is no contest- Metapen wins. My Apple Pencil was literally shattered by the time I had to stop using it- it had electrical tape on it and Silly Putty holding the tip on. It broke way too often. I dropped it once and the cap on the charger was immediately fractured. The Metapen does not break, however. It has been trapped under books, bags, water bottles, you name it, and it's still kicking just fine. Metapen is much more durable than Apple Pencil, if only for the fact that I don't have to watch it like a newborn the way I did with my Apple Pencil. As for charging and battery life, Metapen has its pros and cons. Battery life of the pencil is about as long as the Apple Pencil's, if not a bit shorter. I could often get a week or so out of my Apple Pencil, where I get 4-5 days from the Metapen. That said, with the amount you're paying for the Metapen as opposed to what you pay for an Apple Pencil, there's an obvious choice. I spend a lot of time with my pencil writing and drawing as well, so I probably use the pencil more than the average user. Additionally, the Metapen recharges faster than the Apple Pencil, and you don't have to stop using your whole device for it to recharge. You can just plug it into a cord instead of inserting the pencil into the device like you're broadcasting to outer space. It is also easy to see how much battery you have with the Metapen. With the Apple Pencil you can see the exact percentage, but the Metapen has a small light that changes color depending on how much battery your pencil has left. I have found this feature to be quite helpful. The overall pick? Easily Metapen. I have not noticed any cons that I'd trade for an Apple Pencil for, and the value was much more worth it. Don't blow your money on a fancy stylus from Apple, give your $14 to Metapen and move on. The Metapen is just as effective and even more functional. Read more

Better than the Apple Pencil. No pressure sensitivity but it does have tilt variation. Works just like an Apple Pencil and feels very high quality. No pairing just turn it on and it works. All of the functions work like scribble, and such so no worries there. No lag at all and is the same size and weight as an Apple Pencil. Read more

I'm impressed with the price and functionality- I didn't know my older iPad (8th or 9th Gen) was even capable of using a stylus pencil but figured for the price I'd give it a try... It paired right away and works! I'm not sure I'll use it often but happy with it for sure. Read more

The Metapen works great and at the fraction of the cost. It works just as good as the Apple version. I find myself using it on a regular. Charges up fast and holds a charge for a long time. I really recommend this Metapen. Read more
