MEKO Stylus Pen for iPad Pencil with Palm Rejection, Magnetic Attach, Tilt Sensitivity, Compatible with iPad Pro 11 1-3rd, Pro 12.9 3-5th, iPad 6-9th, Air 3/4/5th mini 5/6th (White)

If you're reading this review you probably realise just how many copies of the Apple Pencil are out there. I have tried 4 of them plus the apple original one and this is the best one by far for the following reasons:This one performs and feels almost exactly like the original Gen 2 Apple Pencil in fact it's really hard to tell the difference.The magnetic charging cap is an excellent idea and saves having a micro USB port on the side of the pencil.Also, and even worse in my opinion many have the micro USB port in the end with a cap covering it which you have to take off to charge. The cap is sure to get lost over time and when it does your pencil will look really awful.The magnetic charger also means the power cycle button can be in the base of the device which is far better for ease of use. They have used a good quality switch for this and a clear LED indicator which is discreet and not large multicoloured and confusing like so many of the others on the market.All the others I tested, apart from the Apple original were between £25 and £30 so not only was this the best it is the more affordable.I will definitely be keeping this one and I've saved myself a great deal of money from the ridiculously overpriced £120 Apple Gen 2 original pencil.All you get that’s better with the Apple original is charging with no USB cable. With the magnetic charger provided with this device this functionality really doesn't matter that much and it's definitely not worth you parting with £100 of your hard earned money for.

This seemed like a decent stylus, but it kept turning off even with constant use which was very frustrating and obviously not intentional. The seller did not respond to my enquiry about a replacement so I returned it for a full refund and went with another model.Update: The seller sent me a replacement and that one worked fine, so I have increased my rating from 1 to 4 stars. The stylus works really well and is a great substitute for an Apple Pencil for 1/5th of the price.After returning the original I bought the MPIO Stylus Pen. The MEKO stylus has a weaker magnetism meaning it can be nudged loose from the magnetic edge of the iPad quite easily, which doesn't happen with the MPIO one. The MEKO stylus also uses a proprietary charger which is kind of annoying as it means I need to carry another cable, whereas the MPIO stylus uses USB C; the same as an iPad.I also did not receive an offer of a £30 Amazon gift card in exchange for a 5-star review with the 2nd MEKO stylus, which I did for the first.

I use an Apple Pencil 2 with my work iPad, but couldn’t justify the expense for my personal use. I read a lot of reviews and this one sounded like a good substitute, and it lives up to its rating. Apart from the fact that it does not charge on the magnetic “port”, this is identical to the Apple Pencil in every app I have tried it. Handwriting recognition is perfect, touch sensitivity is good, and precision is spot on. I had to get used to the five minute auto-off, but that helps preserve battery life. I’m very happy - a great value product.

I was looking for a stylus for general use for iPad - not drawing. Whilst this has tilt sensitivity, it does not have pressure sensitivity, like the official pencil. I tried the official version (Apple Pencil 2) in the Apple Store and whilst it is undoubtedly a very good device, the cost of £119 was too much for me and I couldn't justify it. When I started looking at alternatives, I did not even initially consider the huge number of lookalike products, thinking that they would be cheap and nasty knock-offs. I had resigned myself to having to get something like the Logitech crayon, coming in at around £50. I read reviews and watched some online, which made me realise that I shouldn't discount the Apple Pencil clones.Having bought this pencil, I'm pleasantly surprised at the feel, build and usability of the device. It's accurate, doesn't seem to suffer from lag and has a good weight to it. It seems to do everything I needed, the main purpose being for note taking and annotations.If I was going to be nit-picky, it should be borne in mind that:i) You can't charge this by way of USB C (you have to use the magnetic connector provided, which you'll have to remember to have with you if out and about and of course not lose);ii) It's a little noisy in use on my tempered glass protector andiii) Unlike the Apple pencil, you can't tell what charge it's on from the iPad itself.All these small detractions are more than compensated by the sheer value this represents, when compared to the official pencil. It's early days so I can't comment on battery longevity yet, but very pleased indeed so far.

Bought this for my son and all I can say it’s brilliant. Nice slick box with good presentation. Took 20 mins to charge and kids got stuck into there homework. The pen attaches magnetically and the best part is it’s palm rejection feature. Why spend over £100 for the Apple pen when this does just the job. 👍🏼

I receive my stylus yesterday and have not put it down since, it came very well packaged and was extremely easy to set up. The stylus takes approx 20 mins to fully charge and worked instantly, no complicated set up procedure. I’ve then started to look at editing some of my existing drawings and photos and I’m extremely impressed in the quality of the stylus, accuracy of the nib point. The product is excellent quality and is a nice weight, it feels like a real solid product. I would thoroughly recommend this item.
