When a few weeks ago my original Apple Pencil broke, as a freelance digital artist and t-shirt designer, I was not only heartbroken, I was also devastated with several orders waiting for me. to be finished and also designing a summer collection, but he did NOT have the extra $120 to order a new Apple Pencil. So I did what anyone would do in today's world, I googled styluses for duplicates. I'm used to. Also, after 10 days of intensive use, I have already used the 2 extra pins that came with the kit. My anxiety had gone through the roof when I couldn't; find the same tips for this pen. So in a desperate maneuver I decided to give it a try after reading so many positive reviews. I'm so happy I did. Not only is this stylus superior to this one, it is more comfortable to hold for long hours of drawing, and the tilt feature to get wider lines is more responsive, making it easier to initiate. Having used a real Apple Pencil for almost 3 years, I can honestly say that this option is not only a lot better for your wallet but is almost exactly the same in terms of performance. The only thing I can't confirm is the expected lifespan of the replacement tips. So I'll be posting an update in about a week so anyone interested will know how it works.
