Good Clone of Apple Pencil 2

Tried this pencil on my iPad Pro. Have wanted an Apple Pencil 2 for a long time but didn't want to spend a lot of money on the Apple version. The main reason I got it and not the Apple Pencil was because I'm not exactly sure how much I'll actually be using it. I'm not an artist to draw some fancy drawings with it. Basically, I want to use Apple's Scribble feature, which lets you use it to write in notes instead of typing on the virtual keyboard or annotating on screenshots. I tried using this stylus in note taking with Apple Scribble and it worked great with the character recognition and scribble features. Everything seemed fine with palm deflection when typing. I haven't used a real Apple Pencil 2 so I can't say if it's better or worse. It comes with a short USB-A to USB-C cable for charging your pen. And it comes with an extra pencil tip. what the Apple Pencil 2 doesn't have. So that's a good thing. There is a capacitive on/off button on the top of the pen. When it's on, a small blue light glows on the side of the pen. This has a few differences from the real Apple Pencil. First you need to charge it with a USB-C cable, there is no magnetic charging like the Apple Pencil. Also, the instructions were a bit wrong. It says the pen needs to be charged with a micro USB cable, but in fact the connector on the pen was USB-C. It's actually better as you can just use the same power cord that you use with the iPad since it's already a USB-C cable. It was also said that when the pen is charging, the red indicator will light up. However, it did not light up while charging. It also doesn't have a double-tap feature that lets you press the side of the pen to perform a specific function. It clings to the side of the iPad like a regular Apple. The pencil does. However, it doesn't charge like a regular Apple Pencil because it has a USB-C port on the side of the charging pencil. First, there's no way to see how much charge is left on the pen. On an Apple Pencil, it shows up in the battery widget, just like it does on your other Bluetooth devices. For example, if you have Bluetooth headphones, they will show the percentage of charge remaining. I also noticed that there is nothing listed in the "Bluetooth" section of the settings. I wasn't sure how the pairing feature works. It seemed like it was just connected, I didn't have to use a pairing feature like the Apple Pencil. I'm not quite sure how to break the pair. Overall a good Apple Pencil clone that works decently enough. As for me, I have an Apple keyboard, so I use it to type and navigate on my iPad most of the time. However, when I need to sign some documents or do some quick sketches, it's much better to use this stylus than my finger because the stylus includes palm recognition.
