10/10 Take Notes on iPad

This is an amazing stylus and I am so glad I decided to buy this instead of my Apple Pencil. I wanted to reduce paper waste, so I decided to use Notability to take notes for my classes and have never looked back. The writing experience with the stylus is very accurate and I was really worried about it skipping or glitching, but I've never experienced it. I can take class notes online all day without having to charge them, which is perfect for me. I like the weight of the pencil and that it's quite thick which makes writing easier. I never use the tilt sensor to take notes (I think it's more useful for artists), but it works great for me. I can't speak to the drawing experience as I only use the stylus to take notes, but I don't see how it would be below par. I have some disadvantages, but in my case they are mostly minor. The only thing I really wanted to avoid was the thumping of the stylus when it touches the iPad screen and how much it slides when writing. I find that even the Apple Pencil makes a tapping noise and also slips, but that's how I avoided it. Some people buy another screen protector for their iPad to take notes, but I wanted to keep mine with a glossy screen protector. So I bought these nibs instead (which fit me perfectly and last 2 months before falling off) which reduce the tapping noise and increase friction without sacrificing perfect writing with the pen. (https://www.amazon.com/gp) /product/B07Z4V437W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Another downside was that after hours of writing I felt uncomfortable holding a pencil ( which doesn't work if you write a lot). So I bought this pen which fits perfectly and allows me to take notes all day long. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076F16HGR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I know 5 grand seems like an exaggeration, but the blue light that signals the pen is on does blinks in my eyes every now and then. When I get tired after all my activities, it's just a little thing that bothers me, so I use one of the pen parts to cover the light and I can still press to turn the pen on and off. I was confused that the pen charger was short, it kind of dangled from the socket to the floor. It's not really a big deal because it didn't affect the charger or stylus, but I've started using the MacBook Air USB-C charger. This made it long enough to lay flat on a table without sacrificing the quality of the load time or the functionality of the pen. Overall I really like this stylus and I advise my friends to buy it too. After spending money on inferior stylus pens and watches on Amazon or other sites to compare what you want to buy, just stop searching and buy this one. I promise it's worth every penny! I bought it on September 1st, 2020 and it still works the same as when I took it out of the box. I drop it often (oil fingers) and in fact I only recently damaged the tip, but when I tried to write with it it STILL worked perfectly. It also comes with an extra tip but I don't even think I need to use it even if the tip is a little cracked it works that well.

Pros
  • Easy Setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
