I bought an alternative for under $15CDN and it works on all my tech! I bought another for my 9 yr old grandson since he was always using mine. I did by an apple 2nd gen for my recent mini but that’s all it works on. The ones from Temu are great, easy on/off and charge seems to last forever.
Good to know there’s some budget alternatives for someone like me who doesn’t own one but isn’t completely sure they wanna spend a c note to buy one. Thanks for the video!
Fernando, thank you so much for bringing two more alternatives to the forefront other than the Apple Pencil or Logitech Crayon. I really like the fact the EIP has the magnetic charging feature. I don’t use the pencil I have for everything, yet it is nice to know it is there and available. Mine, unfortunately does not magnetically charge now does it have the pressure sensing technology. Thank you again for bringing a great review to protect the pockets of the end user.
I bought one alternative pencil and it surprisingly works. And it works with all iPads that support and Apple Pencil, be it 1st or 2nd gen., at a fraction of the cost.
You mentioned using a screen cover at all times and I wondered if this was to protect the screen or give the pencil a more tactile feeling when in use?
I have the Goojodoq GD 13 Pencil that like the EIP and Apple Pencil Magnetically Wireless charges the only two things it dose not do is Pressure Sensitive and double tap to change functions. Other than that it works the same and it around $26.00 For it and it comes in Black as well but I am going to looking into the EIP pencil Pro as well. 13:24
Thank you Fernando for the video. Concise and to the point. I’ve been considering a pencil for my new iPad Air…you provided great insight into more affordable options.
Good one. But does the alternative ones support pressure sensitivity? I know they have tilt support but just wanna check the pressure sensitivity too. If yes, then they are worth it.
Most definitely an alternative, I didn't even realize these replica alternatives existed if It wasn't for my brother looking into them for his iPad. I ordered this one below from amazon in February of this year for $33 and it still works and looks like new. "KEEPRO Pencil 2nd Generation for iPad, Magnetic Wireless Charge Tilt Sensitivity Palm Rejection" Looks exactly like the Apple Pencil 2nd gen, Charges and Pairs (once) Magnetically to the side of the iPad like the real apple pencil, Tilt Sensitivity & Pixel Precision, Native Palm Rejection, Extra Replaceable Tips (which I haven't needed to replace yet). Definitely worth it if you're not an artist using their iPad for drawings, art in general or a graphic designer. More for like simple drawings, pdf signings, taking notes etc.
This video seems to be obsolete as the recommended "EIP Pro" product does not seem to exist any more and has been replaced with a less-functional "EIP" product without pressure sensitivity or magnetic charging. It charges only with USB-C. The old "EIP Pro" link now points to the inferior replacement product.
I needed to see this! Getting a new iPad Pro in a few weeks and it’s as someone who’s going to use it for productivity, this video is perfect! Subbed 🎉
I agree with you, I don’t see the need to get the Apple Pencil 2 when the alternative does the almost the same thing. Thank you for breaking that down. Glad I didn’t waste my money..😊
Thank you, sir. The second one is what I'm going for thanks to you. I was so unsure whether or not I should get the real one or an alternative. I was actually aiming for a wirelessly charging one. Thank you man, you saved the day! *A little question:* can it fit into a apple pencil holder in an iPad case?
I just purchased another Apple Pencil Gen 2 this very date. Unfortunately your vid was posted after I purchased the pencil. The one I had to replace was just two years old. Like a previous one, it stopped fully functioning. Fortunately a genuine Apple Pencil gen 2 was on sale by Apple store for $89. But I am bookmarking your vid so I can look at alternate pencils going forward.
👏👏 Your video Fernando, is just what I needed to see. Apple products are unique, but why pay so much extra cash when you simply don’t need to? Thanks for linking alternative brands that will help me with what I need!!
I got a knock off from Amazon a year or so ago that charges via USB-C. Does everything I need it to do. Just wished it did the wireless charging. I may have to invest in the EIP for that reason.
I've been getting videos like "Apple pencil killer for only $25!" And it's always like "oh this doesn't have pressure sensitivity" I need it to draw dang it!
Nice video. The only thing that I didn't see you cover was that fact that most people use an iPad cover / folder / protecter etc. So for people that do. Would it still be possible to charge those pencils wireless??
None of these alternatives you reviewed actually have pressure sensitivity. They have tilt sensitivity, but not pressure sensitivity. One third party stylus that does have it is the Adonit Note+.
Thanks for this video. My 6th grader who is also an artist killed her Appl Pencil 2. It lasted about two years. I need to find her a suitable replacement that isn't going to cost me 100 dollars plus.
Thanks for another informative video! I was wondering about the Logitech Crayon as well since Apple sells it on their own website and a lot of people seem to choose that over the Apple Pencil.
I bought the Logitech Crayon because I got tired of switching the Apple Pencil between my Pro and Mini. I prefer to use it with my iPad Pro, which I use for work and training. The flat crayon is so comfortable for writing. I don't draw or sketch, so I can't speak to that.
I'm looking for a non Apple pencil for an iPad 9. The EIP pencil looked perfect except it seems to be no longer available. Arghh. Penoval's are still available.
Amazing video! I can say the Apple Pen is REALLY EXPENSIVE, so thank you so much to give us many budget-friendly options. All I care about is if it works good and doesn’t lag!!
I’m tired of people accusing Apple of brand loyalty- everyone that I know that loves Apple mostly recognizes their products come at a slightly higher cost point, but either love what they can do w/the products or are willing to wait a little while to enjoy what they might be able to do next. (Not flaming PCs which are still amazing, esp when they are in fact PCs…)
Agreed that the Apple Pencil 2 is way overpriced at this point given the lack of innovation and time it's been on the market. That EIP Pencil looks intriguing!
i purchsed kingone 3rd gen pencil after watching alot of reviews. i used it for 2 days and i am disappointed. the 2500rs kingone pencil lags alot while writing and that is very irritating. i returned it and ordered original apple pencil
I am a designer and creator for textbook writing and illistration. I need something with a very high degree of accuracy and consistency and reliabiliry with adobe fresco and illustrator. Which do you recommend ??
I was actually looking for an alternative for the iPad Pro 2017 model. So essentially an alternative for the very first apple pen that came out if you have something for that, hit me back.
I just bought the Kirosa knock-off of the Apple Pencil 2. It works awesome. I'm not an artist. It's great for everyday use. It CHARGES magnetically on the side of my iPad Mini 6 just like the real Apple Pencil does. Guess what....it's Aug 31, 2024....Amazon selling it for $9.99. Yes, 10 bucks. Goodbye $129 Apple Pencil. LOL
I'm thinking about getting the iPad Pro, not sure which one I should get. For drawing, I think 11inch would fit, what would you recommend? Also, which pencil would you recommend the best for this? Cheers
Thanks for this crisp video! I wanted one for my son and all those different options are overwhelming. Now I have a shorter list to look at.
I bought an alternative for under $15CDN and it works on all my tech! I bought another for my 9 yr old grandson since he was always using mine. I did by an apple 2nd gen for my recent mini but that’s all it works on. The ones from Temu are great, easy on/off and charge seems to last forever.
Mind sharing the link? I’m looking for something under $15CAD and I’m going to trust your review. 😊

Nice video! Apple Pencil is way more expensive and only recommended for artists. Students and passive note takers can use the other alternatives.

I am an artist and im using penoval its very fine
If you can afford iPad Pro you should go for apple pencil
@@whereisaxus true but you don’t have pen pressure
there is no reason to pay more then you should @@pushpak4240
idk if I missed it but did you mention palm rejection for the first two?
I bought one alternative pencil and it surprisingly works. And it works with all iPads that support and Apple Pencil, be it 1st or 2nd gen., at a fraction of the cost.
Where did you buy?what’s its name
Thanks for taking the time to share options with us 😊
Very timely video! I just ordered an iPad 10th Gen and was curious about Apple Pencil alternatives. Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!
You mentioned using a screen cover at all times and I wondered if this was to protect the screen or give the pencil a more tactile feeling when in use?

nope most of the alternatives don't have pressure sensitivity but they do have tilt which is good not gonna lie
The eiip does have pressure sensitivity.

Which iPad do you have?

Just lost my Apple Pencil 2, perfect timing on the video!
Thank you for testing. 🙏 I have a question: Has the EIP Pro a pressure sensitivity? I need a pencil with this for Handlettering in Procreate...
The Apple Pencil 2 is a tad bit overpriced, but the pressure sensitivity and low latency is worth it for people who need it.
Way over priced*
Thank you, sir. The second one is what I'm going for thanks to you. I was so unsure whether or not I should get the real one or an alternative. I was actually aiming for a wirelessly charging one. Thank you man, you saved the day!

Hello, can you linked me amazon pencil links for Ipad 9 generation? Cheaper versions. Thanks in advance.
Is there a new link bc the first two are sending you to a different item? I have the 9th generation 10.2 iPad
I got the eIP pro for my new iPad 10th gen and it’s great!
If only it did pressure sensitive drawing.
without pressure sensitive drawing - these alternatives are useless for drawing apps... sadness.
but he said in the video it does have pressure sensitivity
I got a knock off from Amazon a year or so ago that charges via USB-C. Does everything I need it to do. Just wished it did the wireless charging. I may have to invest in the EIP for that reason.
I've been getting videos like "Apple pencil killer for only $25!" And it's always like "oh this doesn't have pressure sensitivity"
I need it to draw dang it!
these do!
Thank you for testing in other apps other than notes. Like general use such as scribblle etc
Super cool, finally a cheaper replacement but how do you erase, I guess you have to go to the menu every time 😮
Thank you! Makes sense now.
Nice video.
May I know which note taking app did you use in this video?
@9to5mac I've bought the eip pro pencil, but unfortunately it seems to be not pressure sensitive (:
Nice video. The only thing that I didn't see you cover was that fact that most people use an iPad cover / folder / protecter etc. So for people that do. Would it still be possible to charge those pencils wireless??
Yes, it will charge right thru the case
Thank you for this video. I have been debating on getting an apple pencil but it looks like I could easily get by with one of these alternatives!
Could you create a 2024 version of this video. I would love to see what pencils are compatible with the new M4 iPad Pro and new M2 iPad Air.
Hii question does the first pencil you mentioned does it work for an ipad a1475? Since it doesn’t need to be connected to bluetooth?
None of these alternatives you reviewed actually have pressure sensitivity. They have tilt sensitivity, but not pressure sensitivity. One third party stylus that does have it is the Adonit Note+.
Adonit is as expensive or more expensive than the apple pencil in my country 😕
Thanks for this video. My 6th grader who is also an artist killed her Appl Pencil 2. It lasted about two years. I need to find her a suitable replacement that isn't going to cost me 100 dollars plus.

I don't draw or sketch, so I can't speak to that.
If you like the feel of the wide, flat surface then it’s ok. I don’t because you can really only hold it one way.
I'm looking for a non Apple pencil for an iPad 9. The EIP pencil looked perfect except it seems to be no longer available. Arghh. Penoval's are still available.
Did you find a pencil for your 9th generation? I am looking for a pen too.
Very helpful video! Deeply appreciated!
will it open a new note on the iPad from standby mode by touching the pencil to the screen?
A shutter button... like on the S-pens that came free with my Tab S9 Ultra and S23 Ultra ?
surprised/impressed the eip can mostly do it all. but this is apple's MO--innovate and then let it languish while they work on the next new thing.
I got one and so far really got $36 Australian. ONLY issue is it does disconnect often but it’s terrific otherwise
I need a Apple Pencil 3 with Find My and lower latency and I would be perfect
Where do I find the EIP Pencil Pro … the link doesn’t work anymore and other Amazon alternatives are not the same.
Very good video. Great information.
Amazing video! I can say the Apple Pen is REALLY EXPENSIVE, so thank you so much to give us many budget-friendly options. All I care about is if it works good and doesn’t lag!!
you need to update your amazon liink for the eip pro
Thanks for your videos, thanks for the opportunity and good luck to everyone!
Does the EIP pencil Pro work with iPad Pro *10.5-in* ? *For sure?*
Great video, thanks, I'm a newbie.
I’m tired of people accusing Apple of brand loyalty- everyone that I know that loves Apple mostly recognizes their products come at a slightly higher cost point, but either love what they can do w/the products or are willing to wait a little while to enjoy what they might be able to do next. (Not flaming PCs which are still amazing, esp when they are in fact PCs…)
Hello there, I'm trying to get the eip pencil ,but I can't find it anywhere 😭
So they stopped selling option 2 - the EIP Pro -- Have an alternative to the alternative?
Agreed that the Apple Pencil 2 is way overpriced at this point given the lack of innovation and time it's been on the market.
That EIP Pencil looks intriguing!
That one looks great
i purchsed kingone 3rd gen pencil after watching alot of reviews. i used it for 2 days and i am disappointed. the 2500rs kingone pencil lags alot while writing and that is very irritating. i returned it and ordered original apple pencil
Would the EIP Pencil Pro work with the iPad 9, and if it does how would I charge it?
Neat and well described 😊
I am a designer and creator for textbook writing and illistration. I need something with a very high degree of accuracy and consistency and reliabiliry with adobe fresco and illustrator. Which do you recommend ??
Do these work with procreate? Do they work with the side of the tip?
Does the eip work with glass screen protectors
Would love a new apple pencil 2!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video but the sound is very low (in my opinion). Thanks a bunch
Great review.
do any of these alternatives work well with the iPad mini?
Pressure sensitivity?
Do any of the stylus pencils work on an iPhone?
I was actually looking for an alternative for the iPad Pro 2017 model. So essentially an alternative for the very first apple pen that came out if you have something for that, hit me back.
did you find the answer Leslie?
I just bought the Kirosa knock-off of the Apple Pencil 2. It works awesome. I'm not an artist. It's great for everyday use. It CHARGES magnetically on the side of my iPad Mini 6 just like the real Apple Pencil does. Guess what....it's Aug 31, 2024....Amazon selling it for $9.99. Yes, 10 bucks. Goodbye $129 Apple Pencil. LOL
I need a pencil for Shapr 3D CAD app on iPad. I need to be able to left, right and center click. Which pencil is best for that? Thanks!
so helpful!!
Hi, will the elip pencil support ipad air 6gen 2024?
eip pencil pro or logitech crayon 2 gen
what do you think is better?
Hi, is there an alternative Apple Pencil for an IPad Pro 9.7” (Model: A1673, Year: 2016)? 🤔
did you find the answer Jerry?
Can these substitute pencils be used with Android
phones/tablets as well?
Hi i dont know if u will answer me but where do i find the EIP pencil pro ? i dont find it on amazon
for the first penoval one, i have a 9th gen with a cover to hold a pencil (NOT MAGNETICALLY). so the apple pencil will also be turned on or ???
I would prefer to have the pressure sensitivity but I think I can live without it
can i use the eip pencil for an ipad that requires the 1st generation of apple pencil?
Is there any option with doble tap shortcuts ?
I'm thinking about getting the iPad Pro, not sure which one I should get. For drawing, I think 11inch would fit, what would you recommend? Also, which pencil would you recommend the best for this?
Cheers
4:47 So, is that just a normal “active stylus” since it’s not connecting to the iPad via btle? Will it work on other devices like iPhone?
No.
Thank you for information
Thank u saved me some money
Does these work on iPhones ?
I wantet to buy the EIP on Amazon with the link not existing without also not 😢 could you try to renew the link
I agree the middle one is the best 🐬
Are these compatible with ipad air?
Thank you
Sir my iPad pro m1 external monitor not working. Can you please help me?
I use my ipad as primary device. Please help me sir
Good 2 Know! Thankz
Good information
I dropped my Apple Pencil too, and it broke 😢
The eip pro doesn't seem to have pressure sensitivity like you said. Can't find anything about it and I can't get it to work on my ipad
Tired of my Apple Pen always disconnecting...
Apple Pencil "alternatives" and yet the top 1 product is an Apple Pencil
