Penoval Stylus for iPad 2025-2018, Eraser Switch, User-Defined Shortcut and Signal, Auto-Wake and Sleep, for iPad Pro 11/12.9/13 Inch, Air M3/M2/5-3th, Mini 7/6/5th, iPad A16 11-6th, AX Ultra 2

OK... so, I bought another stylus (for $15), then an refurb Apple Pencil Gen 1 (for $65), then this one (Penoval AX Ultra 2), not really knowing which direction I'd ultimately go. The First stylus I bought was a simple, Turn On and use. it worked ok, but skipped everyone once in a while (leaving a gap when writing, or simply wouldn't write at all for a second or two). So, I knew that an Apple Pencil would be better....so, I bought one from Best Buy. The Apple Pencil, of course, worked great. Easy paring, no skipping, and ..... Pressure Sensitivity, which I wasn't really sure I needed. Since it stays paired (unless you turn Bluetooth off) when you're not using it, the battery of the Pencil and iPad is affected. I saw the battery drop quite a bit from intermittent use. (Clarification... I don't know what the battery health of the Pencil is...it may be a bit degraded). It's going back to Best Buy. Now, The Penoval.... Downside: No Pressure sensitivity (Same for most third party Pens). That's it, every thing else is a Plus. If you connect it via Bluetooth (IF... you don't HAVE to in order to use it), you get shortcuts, via tapping the pencil, and clicking the On/Off button on the end of the pencil. Through the Note App they mention, you can map different functions for both, to different apps (GoodNotes, Notability, etc...) So, you can double or triple tap to erase, change to highlighter, undo, redo, switch to a specific tool within an app, etc.... Click the button to switch apps, return to Home Screen, and much more. So, that's amazing. Even the Gen 1 pencil (and Apple USB-C pencil, I believe) can't do that. However, there is a battery reduction due to the bluetooth connectivity. I don't know what's Normal, but I did notice a dip in iPad and Pencil battery --- Oh, when connected, it shows up on the battery widget, which is handy. It can be used without connecting as well, either turning Bluetooth OFF, Forgetting device or never connecting it. It still writes wonderfully, and rejects palm interaction the same. But, from what I can tell so far, definitely reduces battery drain. I'll probably use it mostly like that...but, it's nice to know that the rest of the functionality is there when I want it. Great Pencil.... I hope it's durable, and last a while.

I recently picked up the Penoval AX Ultra stylus for my iPad and it's quickly become one of my favorite tools. It’s a great alternative of apple pencil. It’s totally compatible with the apple pencil’s features such as Scribble, Geometry Sensing, and Quick Notes. One of the standout features of this stylus is the Penoval app, which lets you customize the key functions. The stylus is responsive and accurate, making it perfect for sketching and taking notes. And with tilt sensitivity, I can create shadows and depict different thicknesses and depths. I’m also impressive with the palm rejection and the magnetic abosorption. I think I don’t need to buy apple pencil since I just need to take notes and sometimes I’ll draw some pictures. Overall, I'm really happy with Penoval AX Ultra It's definitely worth the investment if you're looking for a high-quality and versatile tool for your iPad.

The A4 pro is a great apple pencil alternative. I use it on my ipad 9th and it works flawlessly, it has great accuracy, the tilt function works fine (not great), and it is just what I need for notetaking. The pencil does have a couple of cons, though. The battery doesn't last too long and to replace the nibs you have to buy them from Penoval's website only - because the screw-on part is too big no standard-sized nib replacement that you can find on amazon will fit. I really wanted to buy it some metal nibs but unfortunately that's not going to happen. Also, the pencil is a bit thicker than the apple pencil, which might affect whether silicone cases/sleeves will fit it. I think I got this pencil either just before the AX pro was released or I missed it when browsing, because the AX pro seems like it would be a much better fit for me - longer battery life, same diameter as the apple pencil, and standard sized nibs. Unfortunately, when I found out about the AX pro, it was too late to exchange the A4 pro for the AX pro.

The pencil works really good. I like that it’s magnetic and has a decent magnet that attaches to my M1 iPad Pro 11 in. Although it does not magnetically charge directly on the iPad, it does have a usb-c connection. I have not used an actual Apple Pencil so I can’t compare this pencil to it. I think it’s a great product for the price especially since they included an extra tip. My kids have even used it and they were writing like it was just a regular pencil.

Thanks for creating this amazingly perfect stylus pen! Do not hesitate to buy Penoval if you are considering to get a pen for iPad. I bought this for my iPad 9th gen and it works great. As student, I take a lot of notes and this works perfect. No delay and you can rest you hand on your iPad when writing. I am so grateful that I bought this instead of an Apple Pencil because the Apple Pencil has to be plugged into the iPad to charge but this charges separately also it magnetically attaches to the iPad unlike the Apple Pencil 1st gen. It has all the features as the Apple Pencil but it's just not Apple so it's a bit cheaper.

This an excellent alternative to apple pen, and priced very fairly i might add. I have the wireless charge version of this pen, and it charges wirelessly via the magnetic charger on the side of the of the (exactly as advertised). I must admit i was a bit skeptical about the wireless charging part as the pen is not exactly first party product to apple, but i am pleasantly surprised how well it works. Response time is also excellent and no lag whatsoever. It doesn’t have the standard tap to erase gesture like OEM apple pen (which is expected), but you get two clickable gestures (app switcher and home) via the clickable head. All in all, happy with my purchase. It is a definite buy in my opinion.

Great product

This pen has some good things going for it. However, I give it three stars for two reasons. 1) I like the idea that it turns on by motion. However, it turns off while I’m using it, and moving it around. A great idea the manufacturer hasn’t refined yet. Example. The description page says it turns off after five minutes of inactivity. My pen barely stays on for one minute, even when I'm using it. 2) I downloaded the app, but I can’t get past the paring screen. I tried multiple processes, but they all failed. The pen pared quite easily, but the app won’t go past this screen. Disappointed in what could be one of the best pens on the market.
