Its internal structure remains always intact after 3000 times impacts. In addition, each Metapen A8 pen comes with two extra replaceable tips , much cost-saving for users with high frequency pencil tips
【Tilt-sensitive and Palm Rejection】: Different angles create different lines and shadows on screen. Tilt for the shadow in [pencil brush] or tilt for thicker lines in [Marker brush]. Our ipad stylu supports with Palm Rejection. No longer glove, you can rest your palm or fingers on the screen during sketching, drawing and writing

At the same time, like the original iPencil, it can be used with iPad to achieve smart graffiti (automatically converted to regular shapes) and double-click the lock screen for quick memo.

Metapen has blown away the Apple Pencil
I do not have a bad word to say about this pen. I used an Apple Pencil for about two years before switching to Metapen instead because Apple Pencil broke and the transition was absolutely seamless, if not better.First off, connecting the Metapen is a breeze. All you have to do is double tap the top of the pen and it’s immediately turned on. With the Apple Pencil, I usually had to plug it into my iPad before it would even be connected. Metapen connects much easier than Apple Pencil.As for quality of writing and drawing, there is not a clear winner, but multiple pros and cons. Apple Pencil adjusts better to tilting the pen, so if you’re writing on the side of the pen to increase line size (I mostly use the pencil for art), Apple is more sensitive to slant. Metapen, however, certainly reacts better to pressure. Apple can be wildly inconsistent with line size and pressure, whereas Metapen is more consistent with line size. Overall, there is not a difference in the writing and drawing functionality, and Metapen does the same things as Apple Pencil for much less money.As for durability, that is no contest- Metapen wins. My Apple Pencil was literally shattered by the time I had to stop using it- it had electrical tape on it and Silly Putty holding the tip on. It broke way too often. I dropped it once and the cap on the charger was immediately fractured. The Metapen does not break, however. It has been trapped under books, bags, water bottles, you name it, and it’s still kicking just fine. Metapen is much more durable than Apple Pencil, if only for the fact that I don’t have to watch it like a newborn the way I did with my Apple Pencil.As for charging and battery life, Metapen has its pros and cons. Battery life of the pencil is about as long as the Apple Pencil’s, if not a bit shorter. I could often get a week or so out of my Apple Pencil, where I get 4-5 days from the Metapen. That said, with the amount you’re paying for the Metapen as opposed to what you pay for an Apple Pencil, there’s an obvious choice. I spend a lot of time with my pencil writing and drawing as well, so I probably use the pencil more than the average user. Additionally, the Metapen recharges faster than the Apple Pencil, and you don’t have to stop using your whole device for it to recharge. You can just plug it into a cord instead of inserting the pencil into the device like you’re broadcasting to outer space.It is also easy to see how much battery you have with the Metapen. With the Apple Pencil you can see the exact percentage, but the Metapen has a small light that changes color depending on how much battery your pencil has left. I have found this feature to be quite helpful.The overall pick? Easily Metapen. I have not noticed any cons that I’d trade for an Apple Pencil for, and the value was much more worth it. Don’t blow your money on a fancy stylus from Apple, give your $14 to Metapen and move on. The Metapen is just as effective and even more functional.

Still Works Great After a Year Perfect for Drawing on iPads
RELIABLE METAPEN STYLUSI’ve been using this metapen for about a year now and it has been excellent. It came with a couple of extra tips, but even after I accidentally lost them the one I have been using still works perfectly. It holds charge really well I can go days without charging, – and when I do need to plug it in, it charges super fast.I use it mainly with procreate on my iPad and it’s been completely compatible with no issue at all. whether I am sketching, journaling or working on digital designs. It performs smoothly. Great value and performance for the price. Highly recommend if you are looking for a reliable stylus.

Best Dupe Around
I bought this stylus and another knockoff stylus to use with my 11th gen iPad because I was not about to spend $100 on the Apple Pencil. If you’re going to buy a knock off pencil, go with Metapen because they’re actually great quality for the fact that it’s a dupe. The other knockoff I bought, which was $10, stopped working almost immediately and there was no customer service or resources online to help fix it. The Metapen, for an extra 5-10 dollars, is really pretty, has customer service representatives, has no lag, great functionality, long charge, etc. I wanted 1-2 extra styluses since they’re only $20 and I’m great at losing things, and instead of buying another random dupe, I bought from Metapen and I feel pretty confident with my purchase.The purple one and green one really are designed so well, they’re metallic with a solid weight and matching stylus tips. Since the colored ones are heavier, the grip feels more comfortable and natural. I’m considering getting some pencil grips just for aesthetics sake, but for now, the fact that the colored ones have a nice weight to them makes writing feel super comfortable and natural. The white one in comparison is plastic and feels cheaper, but it IS cheaper so keep that in mind. As far as functionality goes, the white one performs the same, just feels more like plastic in the hand. I’ve attached a photo for further comparison. The purple, green, and white styluses are Metapen A8s, the pink one is another random Amazon dupe. The green and purple are metallic in texture and heavier. The white Metapen has the same plastic body as the pink dupe, but is a little heavier. The white one is also a little thicker than the colored ones, so if you have bigger hands maybe you should go with the white one.I’ve used the green one pretty much daily for 6+ hours a day. I’m in school and hand write my notes, and I also do a lot of journaling and doodling on procreate. I bought a paper like screen protector and the stylus works really well on top of that to make writing on the iPad feel just like writing on paper. I’ve been charging my pencil every morning when I drink my coffee since I know I’ll be using it for most of the day and it’s not lost a charge on me once. I really should have just bought one backup considering how well the charge holds, but I don’t think I’ll be returning the 3rd one because it’s such high quality for a $15 product.

Good enough!
No set up or pairing required, works directly out of the box. Charges quickly and comes with extra pen tips. Charge lasts a good amount of time with regular use. Definitely find that the pen doesn’t always respond when clicking on things or writing, requiring you to reclick or start over. But considering the price compared to the real thing, I think this is tolerable.

This Apple Pencil works flawlessly with my iPad. It connects quickly, is super responsive, and makes writing and drawing feel smooth and natural. The battery lasts a long time, and charging is fast.It feels just like the original Apple Pencil but at a much better price. If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable option, I highly recommend this one!

Works Perfectly
So easy to use, works as well or better than the Apple Pencil! I bought this when I lost my Apple Pencil but I wish I had just bought one from the get go and skipped the overpriced Apple Pencil. Also this charges with USB-C which is so much more convenient than having to bring a special Apple Charger.

Well worth the price.

Phenomenal. I bought this for my iPad 7th gen to use mainly for my artwork and it works 10x better than expected considering it’s not even an Apple Pencil. You just turn the pen on out of the box and it works straight away, don’t need to link it to Bluetooth or anything. It’s extremely accurate and precise to write and draw with. No lagging or losing connection or anything. It has a handy battery indicator so you know when it needs charging. It’s extremely good value for money. I would recommend this to anyone.

Le stylet Metapen pour iPad est une vraie pépite. Dès sa prise en main, on sent un produit de qualité : le design est sobre, élégant et agréable au toucher, avec une prise en main ergonomique qui le rend parfait pour de longues sessions d’écriture ou de dessin.La précision est impressionnante, presque équivalente à celle de l’Apple Pencil, mais à un prix bien plus abordable. Que ce soit pour prendre des notes, esquisser des croquis ou naviguer sur l’iPad, le stylet répond instantanément, sans aucun lag. La fonction de rejet de paume est parfaitement gérée, ce qui permet d’écrire sans craindre des interruptions accidentelles.L’autonomie est un autre point fort : une simple charge permet de l’utiliser pendant des heures. Et avec sa compatibilité avec de nombreuses applications créatives et productives, le Metapen s’intègre parfaitement dans votre quotidien, que ce soit pour le travail, les études ou les loisirs.En résumé, ce stylet Metapen est une alternative incontournable pour tous les utilisateurs d’iPad. Performant, fiable et abordable, il fait tout ce qu’on attend d’un stylet haut de gamme, sans casser la tirelire. Une vraie réussite !

Actually blown away by this. I have almost no complaints since I started using this. I had originally purchased a different brand of stylus pencil for my iPad back in July when I got it. I recently had to buy a new one because the other one got water damaged. It was frustrating because I just had bought replacement tips for it. It was the best thing that could’ve happened. This particular stylus that I am reviewing is so much better. My husband actually found it looking through reviews on different products and I decided to take my chance on it because of the good reviews and I am so glad I did! This pencil is so much lighter than the one I was originally using. This one has more of a plastic lightweight feel but weighted enough that it’s comfortable in your hand but so much lighter than the other one. It is slightly bigger in circumference but again it is still much lighter. The tips do not fully connect to the pencil when you twist it so there’s this tiny visible gap. The gap is not affecting anything, but it’s the way you can differentiate this particular pencil from a real Apple Pencil. That doesn’t matter to me in the slightest, but I am just noting it so you do not think it is broken! Just sits like that once you feel it is secure, it is, it just has that tiny gap. The other unbelievably exceptional aspect of this pencil is it on and off method. I so far I’m not able to get the Bluetooth to connect to the complementary app it comes with, but it’s on and off feature make up for that. My previous stylus pencil took holding down and for lengthy periods of time in order to turn it on. There was no way to shut it off on my own either I had to wait for it too, and I would find it would constantly drain the battery and need to be charged. This is not optimal when I’m only using one charger for both pieces. This particular stylist pencil has a tap twice on tap twice off method and it is immediate. This is phenomenal! This is my favourite aspect of the pencil next to its lightweight feel. The other thing I really like about this pencil is it grips that is another highlight to me. It is a lot more grippy than the previous one maybe it has to do with the material it’s made out of? So much more efficient and easier to play my games and do absolutely everything with. I will not buy another pencil brand after this, this is one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon.
