Review on πŸ–ŠοΈ Ailun Stylus Pen for iPad (2018-2021) – Palm Rejection, Active Pencil for Precise Writing and Drawing by Leonard Beard

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Reliable first pencil with some limitations

Pencil works well for its price. Overall a good product with some weaknesses. First, depending on your iPad's protective glass and the amount of pressure you apply to the stylus, the stylus wears out quickly. The pen comes with a spare nib, but I don't see an option to order more. I got over both quickly, partly because I have a textured screen protector on my iPad. I ordered silicone pen covers to prevent scratching the glass from the pen's now visible metal core, but they don't last long. Another feature of the stylus is that it advertises that you can put your hand on the screen while using the stylus and you won't have any problems. It is true. I had an experience where my hand was on the iPad and the iPad would not pick up the pencil stroke. The iPad is small enough to take your hand off the screen to use the stylus, but it's a little annoying. After all, the pencil is insensitive to pressure, since with a light stroke the line drawn does not differ from a thick stroke. The article doesn't advertise it, but it would be a nice feature. Overall, this is a solid $100 Apple Pencil alternative for the price, but it leaves a lot to be desired.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No performance
