I have a $10 generic, and also this item. The build on the official Apple Pencil is clearly head and shoulders above the generic: Apple is trying to maintain a premium brand, and the generics are out to maximize profit while winning a low-price competition for consumers whose primary motivation is price. Pairing is great, charging and usage are seamless, and everything integrates just as great as every other Apple product you own. Its responsiveness is top-notch. The generic I have also charges wirelessly and attaches magnetically, and writes just fine. What does the Apple model add? Well, for one, it always activates immediately when picked up. (Sometimes the generic must be manually turned back on with the power button.). The Apple model also lets you double-tap the side of the pencil to switch between pen and eraser mode, a feature that is incredibly useful when taking notes. (The generic doesn't have this feature). The generic included an extra replaceable tip. The Apple model is slightly weightier and has a more premium Matte feel, plus an official Apple Logo. I'm fairly certain the generic has pressure sensitivity, though my use case is note-taking rather than art, so I can't comment as to specific performance difference. I purchased the Apple model on sale and with a coupon for $80, which to me seems obscenely expensive, nearly 9x as much as the $9.62 generic. If you are a professional or serious artist, I think it makes sense to have the best. If you are just using it for notes and annotation, you'd be crazy to spend the MSRP $129 on this gadget. If you can get it on sale somewhere in-between, it might become a judgment call. I haven't been using these long, so I won't speculate as to whether I will be glad of my purchase in another year. One thing I can say is this: the generic is at home with my iPad Air where my kids might use it, and the name-brand stays at work with my iPad Pro.

The Walmart associate I dealt with was very helpful. He assisted me in placing an online order when the store stock was found to be at zero. The process and my experience could not have been more pleasant! The Apple Pencil gen2 has been much nicer and more convenient than its predecessor. The wireless charging and double-tap are the the main features that stand-out.

The new Apple Pencil is sleek and lightweight compared to the previous version. Easily manageable. Purchased for my 12 year old son and he loves it. I am not as technologically adept as he is and I was very easily able to control the pen as well. Purchased for drawing fine details on IPad Pro.

very misleading. they said same-day delivery and as soon as I paid they moved it 3 days out.

Honestly i love it it works as well as the first gen but i love the magnetic charging

New sealed in the box, charged just fine, works well.

Buyer beware I was sent a used Apple Pencil

It’s comfortable to hold and practical and smooth. I love it
