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 alternative for iPad
The Metapen Pencil A8 works great with my iPad and is very easy to use. It feels comfortable in the hand and responds smoothly when writing, taking notes, or drawing. I like how precise it feels on the screen, and the battery life has been convenient for everyday use. It’s a great option for school, work, or general iPad use without spending a lot. Overall, I’m very happy with the quality and performance

Best off-brand pen
I’ve tried a lot of off-brand stylus pens for my iPad, but the Metapen Pencil A8 is by far the best one I’ve used. As someone who uses my iPad for everything from note-taking to digital art, finding a reliable stylus is essential, and this one has delivered on all fronts. Fast Charging: One of the standout features for me is how quickly it charges. I’ve used stylus pens that take forever to charge, but with the Metapen A8, I can get a full charge in no time. This has been a game-changer when I’m in a rush and don’t have much time to wait. Seamless On/Off Functionality: Unlike other off-brand pens I've used, this one turns on and off flawlessly. There's no fiddling with buttons or waiting for the pen to recognize my input. It’s ready to go when I am, and it doesn’t waste power when I’m not using it. Tilt Sensitivity & Palm Rejection: I was really impressed by the tilt sensitivity, especially when drawing or writing at different angles. The line thickness adjusts naturally as you tilt the pen, just like a traditional pencil. Plus, the palm rejection works perfectly—I can rest my hand on the screen without worrying about accidental marks or interference. Performance: The performance overall is great. The pen glides smoothly across the screen, with no lag or jitter. It’s responsive and feels natural, whether I’m sketching, annotating PDFs, or just taking notes. Compatibility: It’s fully compatible with my iPad and I’ve had no issues with connectivity or functionality. It works just as well as the Apple Pencil but at a much more affordable price point. Conclusion: Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the Metapen Pencil A8. It charges fast, operates smoothly, and has all the features I need for both productivity and creativity. If you’re looking for an affordable, high-quality stylus for your iPad, I highly recommend giving this one a try!

Incredible!
I have been using this pen for about 2 weeks now. I find it super impressive how well it keeps its charge, and I really appreciate that I can manually turn it off and on. It feels just like a genuine Apple Pencil when writing, but has many more colors and styles so it fits with my IPad much better. One thing I really appreciated was the pairing. This pencil doesn’t require pairing, so I was able to turn it on and start using it immediately.

Good Pen for a Good Price!
★★★★☆ Really solid stylus overall. The writing experience is smooth, responsive, and it works great with my iPad for note-taking and everyday use. Setup was easy and the battery life has been good so far. My only complaint is that the black finish/color on the pen starts to fade or wear down if you store it in an iPad case with a built-in pen slot. Other than that, it’s been a great purchase.

High-End Performance for a Better Price!
I am really impressed with the Metapen Pencil A8. Just like my other stylus, this one works almost as good as an Apple Pencil. It is a fantastic alternative for anyone with a 2018 or newer iPad who wants precision without the high cost. Performance & Feel: The connection is seamless and there is virtually no lag when I'm writing or drawing. I especially like the tilt sensitivity, which makes shading feel very natural. It’s been a reliable tool for my daily iPad use, and the battery charges incredibly fast—just a few minutes of charging gives me hours of use. Why I recommend it: Great Value: It delivers premium performance for a fraction of the name-brand price. Fast Charging: The USB-C charging is super quick and convenient. Natural Writing: It has palm rejection that actually works, so I can rest my hand on the screen while I work. This has been a solid addition to my setup, and I honestly don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by not having the official Apple version!

NO PRESSURE SENSITIVITY
If you are looking for an alternative to an Apple Pencil for drawing, this isn’t it. It’s probably fine for writing, but does not have any pressure sensitivity so it’s not very useful for art. I don’t think any 3rd party stylus has pressure sensitivity for iPads, and ProCreate is phasing out support for them anyway. For a cheap stylus it’s the best of the bunch, but that’s not saying much. Without pressure detection it’s basically useless for me. I bought it as a backup for when our Pencil goes missing (my daughter steals it) and only tested to make sure it connected and worked. By the time I tried to actually draw with it we were outside the return window. Hoping to save someone else the grief.

Great pencil and easy to use
This Metapen Pencil A8 for iPad (with 2X faster charge, tilt sensitivity, and pixel precision) has been an excellent stylus for my iPad. It charges incredibly fast — going from 0 to full in just a few minutes — which is a huge improvement over slower styluses. The tilt sensitivity works smoothly, allowing for natural shading and varying line thickness, while the pixel precision makes writing and drawing feel accurate and responsive. The pencil is well-balanced and comfortable to hold for long note-taking or sketching sessions. It connects easily and works seamlessly across different apps. The palm rejection is excellent, so I can rest my hand on the screen without any unwanted marks. The black finish looks sleek and matches my iPad nicely. The included charging cable and spare tip are nice bonuses. This pencil is about the same size as the original and it fits well into my case. If you’re looking for a high-performance, affordable stylus pen for your iPad that offers fast charging, tilt support, and precise control, the Metapen Pencil A8 is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

Excellent
Très bonne surprise avec ce stylet acheté pour une utilisation quotidienne sur iPad. Après plusieurs utilisations, il fonctionne parfaitement et se montre à la fois précis, réactif et très agréable à utiliser. Pour mon usage, il s’intègre parfaitement à l’environnement Apple et remplit très bien son rôle, pour un prix nettement plus contenu que celui du produit proposé par la marque à la pomme. Le rapport qualité-prix est donc, à ce stade, excellent. La recharge par USB reste simple et pratique et ne constitue absolument pas un inconvénient à mes yeux. Mon retour d’expérience est donc pour le moment très positif. Il restera bien sûr à voir comment le stylet se comporte dans la durée, notamment en matière de fiabilité et de compatibilité avec les futures mises à jour d’Apple. Mais en l’état actuel, je suis pleinement satisfait de mon achat et je le recommande sans hésitation.

Ottima alternativa all'originale!
Ho preso questa penna per il mio iPad 8 consigliato da recensioni sia su Amazon che sul web, come alternativa all'originale che si, sarà più precisa e con qualche feature in più, ma ormai superata dalla versione 2 (non compatibile col mio dispositivo), molto più costosa e soprattutto scomodissima nella ricarica. Ho provato sia questa penna che la versione più ergonomica e con qualche caratteristica in più, ma ho fatto il reso dell'altra in quanto la trovavo scomoda e senza particolari migliorie. Questa invece è molto più simile all'originale, ha una forma che ben si impugna e si può inserire nei vari portapenne integrati in alcune cover, con la ricarica usbc estremamente comoda! La penna è piuttosto minimal, dal design lineare; ha le punte intercambiabili di ricambio, la porta usbc di ricarica è sul lato con i tappini per poterla chiudere e si accende e spegne con un doppio tap in testa. E' presente un piccolo led di stato che indica con i vari colori la carica residua, la quale è piuttosto ampia di parecchie ore. Io l'ho scelta nera come ipad e cover, ma è disponibile anche in altri colori. Non ha particolari feature (le versioni più costose hanno la percentuale di ricarica ed alcuni tocchi che attivano azioni), quindi non cancella o altro se capovolta, ma riconosce l'inclinazione modificando il tratto. Non viene riconosciuta come originale per cui non si vedrà la carica nell'ipad, però una volta abbinata inizialmente si connette all'istante una volta accesa. Il tratto sul tablet è preciso, non c'è ritardo e la scrittura così come la colorazione viene naturale, indispensabile per sfruttarla al meglio in queste due modalità. L'ho testata su pellicola effetto carta, la più famosa e recensita, ma oltre ad avere un effetto a mio avviso strano, ha consumato la punta in appena 2 ore di utilizzo, per cui la sconsiglio non essendoci punte dedicate più resistenti, ed ho fatto il reso immediatamente della pellicola per evitare altri danni. Fortunatamente il segno era lieve e comunque in dotazione ci sono altre 2 punte di ricambio. Consigliata vivamente a chiunque abbia un ipad non recentissimo (controllare prima di acquistare la compatibilità!) come valida alternativa alla Apple Pencil prima generazione, dal costo purtroppo eccessivo. La seconda generazione ha effettivamente un sacco di feature che possono giustificarne il prezzo, ma la prima proprio no, e parlo da utilizzatore di Apple da anni con molti dispositivi della mela. Fortunatamente esistono queste alternative super funzionali dal costo nettamente inferiore, che comunque sono efficaci e cambiano totalmente l'uso dell'iPad nella scrittura e disegno rispetto al tocco del dito.
