Works really well on ipad
I really like this iPad pen. It works smoothly and responds well while writing or drawing. The touch is accurate and it feels comfortable to hold for a long time. It connects easily and the battery life is also good. Overall, it’s a nice pen for taking notes, drawing, or everyday use on the iPad. Definitely worth it for the price.

This is Your New Pencil!!!
This pencil is amazing - never going back to Apple Pencils. Honestly more reliable than my Apple Pencil ever was. Connectivity: Just turn it on and start using it. No troubleshooting, no pairing issues. Power: The double tap on the “eraser end” to turn it on/off works perfectly every time. Charging: USB-C charging is super fast and no parts to deal with while charging. Battery Indicator: The light indicator is really useful to know when it’s on and to keep track of charge. Feel: Feels great in hand, not slippery, and looks clean. Performance: Writing and drawing are very precise with no lag, and tilt works great. Even if this product had a shorter lifespan, I wouldn’t care - it performs better, costs less, and is way more practical.

Great inexpensive alternative to an Apple Pencil for young artists
Purchased a couple of these for my younger kids because I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on something they might end up losing/breaking and they don’t have as much need for all the features of the Apple Pencil quite yet. It works great. No pairing needed which is a plus. The battery lasts a good amount of time and charges via USB-C. I did have an issue with one of my pens failing to turn off but I contacted customer service and they sent me a new pen for free after confirming mine was indeed faulty. I’ll always give high marks for good customer service and Metapen earned it here. Shoutout to Kari for her help resolving my issue!

Fantastic budget-friendly Apple Pencil alternative
The Metapen A8 is a fantastic budget-friendly Apple Pencil alternative. It delivers on pixel-precise writing, incredible 4-minute fast charging, and convenient magnetic attachment. While it lacks pressure sensitivity, its price point and overall performance make it a great daily driver for note-taking. It's smooth and sleek. Things to consider: No Pressure Sensitivity: Artists who rely heavily on varied line thickness based on how hard they press will miss this feature. Magnetic Feature Limits: The magnetic snap is a huge plus, but it won’t fit perfectly or attach to older generation iPads (like the iPad Air 3rd Gen, older Mini models, or early standard iPads). Wired Charging Only: Despite the magnetic snap, it does not charge wirelessly off the iPad. You'll need to plug in the USB-C cable to the top of the pen. Thus the 4 stars. If you want the feel and utility of an Apple Pencil without the premium price tag, the Metapen A8 is a superb daily tool for students and business professionals. It performs nearly all the same essential functions for a fraction of the cost.

Works great
Works well on my iPad. Easy to connect and fits the pencil holder on my case. USB C connector for charging is the same as my iPad and keyboard making cable management easier. Smooth operation and feels natural in my hand.

Amazing!!
It works amazing! It’s super easy to use and it fully charges in 30mins and lasts 5+hours! The pressure sensitivity is perfect, after using it for a couple months I still haven’t needed to change the tip but it does come with 2 extra and a dust cover. It’s definitely a great value for your money!

Perfect pen
Love it! I use it to color on my iPad and it works perfectly. I love the tap on the top to turn it on and off. The only complaint I have is I feel like the battery life isn’t long but I could be wrong because I zone out with coloring and do it for hours. It’s very sleek looking and I love that. The material it is made with is comfortable and feels great in your hand. Perfect cheaper option.

Excellent Apple Pencil Alternative Smooth, Reliable, and Affordable
I’ve been using this stylus for a few weeks now with my iPad, and I’m genuinely impressed with how well it performs—especially considering it’s not an Apple-branded product. Setup was quick and hassle-free. It connected instantly without needing Bluetooth pairing, which I appreciated. The pen feels comfortable in hand, with a nice weight that makes it easy to use for extended periods whether I’m taking notes, sketching, or navigating apps. What stood out most to me is the responsiveness. There’s very little lag, and it writes smoothly across the screen with good precision. Palm rejection works surprisingly well, allowing me to rest my hand naturally while writing without stray marks. Battery life has also been solid. I can go several days of regular use before needing to recharge, and the charging process is straightforward. Overall, this is a great option if you’re looking for a reliable stylus for everyday use without paying the premium for the Apple version. I’d definitely recommend it for students, casual artists, or anyone who uses their iPad for note-taking

Mükemmel hiç düşünmeden alabilirsiniz
Kalemi eğik kullanınca da algılayıp kesintisiz yazıyor, yazı yazarken el ekrana değdiği zaman yazıyı bozmadan yazmaya devam ediyo eli algılanıyor şarjı da gayet uzun gidiyo rengini de çok beğendim orijinalinden hiç farkı yok

Prosta obsługa, pełna funkcjonalność i zgodność.
Kupiłem bez przekonania, ale uznałem że kwota niewielka i można zaryzykować. Jestem bardzo pozytywnie zaskoczony! Rysik nie wymaga żadnej konfiguracji czy parowania, wystarczy naładować, uruchomić i działa z iPad A16. Można położyć rękę na tablecie podczas pisania i nie będzie zakłóceń. Zmieniając kąt nachylenia można regulować grubość linii, chociaż traktuje to bardziej jako bajer. Bateria długo trzyma. Większość programów go wspiera. Jeśli potrzebujesz robić szybkie notatki odręczne to świetnie współpracuje z Notify, dając nawet opcję konwersji na język polski.
