Connects quickly and easy to use. The flat design to prevent rolling and the ability to charge with the lightning cable are both nice features.
OK if not for serious drawing- not for Pro artists

I bought this alongside the iPad Air, trying to save money over the Apple Pencil. I found that this device was acceptable for drawing and writing with, but it lacks pressure sensitivity and after not much time I decided to upgrade to the Apple Pencil, and six months later I’m still glad I did. It’s a good price for a stylus that does what it does, including palm rejection, but if you’re using your tablet for drawing and want high quality results it’s simply not sufficient.

Just bought the new iPad 6 and wanted to get a pencil to use with it. This works great and is much cheaper than the apple brand. Charges fast and lasts a long time too. Very happy with this purchase.

Easy connectivity. Took a while to get used to and hold since the pen is flat but I like that it cannot roll away. Does not display how much battery the pen has. It also does not have pressure sensitivity and when drawing on procreate for example, when the stroke begins the tip is always round rather than pointed. I would like to be able to use it while it is being charged but it does charge fairly quick. It’s great for the price point.

Great alternate to the Apple Pencils. My Apple Pencil(1stgen, originally about $ 90) only pairs/pairs with my IPad Air but not on a newly purchased IPad Pro 2nd gen. Contacted Apple support for any available accessory to enable my 1st gen Apple Pencil to pair/work on the new IPad Pro; absolutely nothing. Only their Apple Pencil 2nd gen (another $120) will work with their proprietary pairing system. Forget it! This Logitech Crayon Digital pencil works well on both IPad Air and IPro 2nd gen, without the need for “pairing”. Save money.

Great Apple Pen alternative. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money for my kids Apple tablet and this one has just about all the same features. The only thing this one doesn't do is recognize the tilt motion to adjust thickness and shading when drawing. My daughter likes to draw on her iPad and this works great for that.
Likes: Price: Easy of use: kid proof
Dislikes: Charing cap can be easy to lose; okay battery life
Oh, by the way: This does NOT magnetically attach to an iPad, so if you want that functionality, this doesn't do that

I have owned both this device and the Appke pencil. The ONLY reason to want the Apple pencil is for the pressure senaitivity. The logitech crayon works super and being able to just lay it down and it not roll away is a reason to buy it. Also the cap covering the charging port is attaches, unlike the Apple pencil's cap that most people have lost. Save some money and frustration, buy the Logitech Crayon.

I wanted another pencil but did not want to pay a lot. I saw the Logitech pencil and thought I would try it. I am glad I did. It is very easy to use and does not require the pairing that the other one does. Just make sure your bluetooth is on and press the 'on' button. Simple. I am not too keen on the shape as it is a bit awkward. Triangular shape would be better (especially if younger children are using it). Overall, a great pencil.

I bought this due to the reviews of how great it was as well the fact that the apple pencil costs more than double. This works just as good. Feels good in the hands and is a blast on the IPAD to use when drawing or writing things among other things the IPAD allows you to use it for. Battery life is great and it does charge pretty fast when needed. But as a heads up I have an older IPAD MINI and this did not work on it so it really only works on the listed models. Overall save your money and go with the Logitech pencil it's worth every penny and put the extra money you save toward something else.

Ok so title might throw you off. This is an excellent pencil for the iPad. So first what drew me to this purchase is the charging port is female lightning port. Apple Pencil is male and plugs into your iPad to charge where this is just plugged with your charger. I enjoy that because you can still use when charging. Now as functions. Works awesome on my iPad Air (3rd generation) on all apps. I use affinity design affinity photo and procreate with no problems. This pencil is not pressure sensitive....I repeat not pressure sensitive. If you just dabble in art for fun, this isn’t a huge deal. In those programs I mentioned its not difficult to switch brush size on what your doing (first time using it can be annoying and cumbersome to stop and switch sizes) if that doesn’t sound like an issue then this is perfect for you. ( I personally don’t mind at all not having pressure sensitivity, I feel like I have more control not worrying about how hard or soft I’m pressing on my iPad the pen is going to register. That and I can change to my specific needs.) I highly recommend trying this out and saving some money

I recently purchased an iPad for my wife. Her number one request was the pencil so she could draw. Unfortunately I could not afford the Apple Pencil so I picked up the Logitech Crayon until we could spring for one. Great news the Logitech Crayon is fantastic. Although it’s not shaped like atracitional pencil, it’s very easy to use and comfortable to hold. One great feature is how long the Crayon goes in between charges.
The Crayon is such a great addition to her iPad. I’m very happy we picked it up

Bought this along my new ipad. I really like it although it is a little bit more expensive. It is durable and easy to use but i am not a fan of the shape it does hurt my hand a bit but other than that, it is a very reliable brand and for sure will last a long time!

Great alternative to the overpriced Apple pencil. I own a pencil for my older ipad and it is great but the design was dumb on charging. This doesn't recognize the pressure sensitive way you write but for note taking it is no different. Would prefer this over the pencil. Also, not round so doesn't roll off desk.

This was purchased for my 10 year old daughter in lieu of getting the apple pencil. This was a breeze to set up and use and I would see no other reason to but the Apple product since this one is just as good and much cheaper.

I like the design better than AP, and it is less $. Only thing might be the pressure sensitivity. I have seen reviews that say it has it, and others that say only AP does. Either way, my young aspiring artist enjoys it on her new iPad. She started with Notability, but Procreate is only $10 in App Store, and has a TON of advanced features - totally worth it. Add this pen, and you have an affordable digital art solution...assuming you have an iPad, or can get a newer one (10.4 screen or better) at a good price.

I brought this pen as an alternative to the apple pencil because of the cost savings. I was not disappointed. True it feels different like writing a first graders pencil in the 60's but it easy to get used to. One plus I like is there is no need for an adapter to charge this pencil. And pairing it to my ipad was a breeze.

I bought his for my niece, and I’m thoroughly impressed. I have a first gen Apple Pencil, And I prefer the Logitech to it. Setup is a breeze - you just open the box and start using it. It charges through a regular lightning cable, which is much improved over the ridiculous method for the original Apple Pencil, where it is plugged into the iPad and becomes a safety hazard.
The device feels great in hand as well.
Great work, Logitech!

This is pretty good. I've never tried the Apple Pencil but this works just like I need it to. It's easy to grip, easy to get started (no pairing necessary) and easy to work with. I use it for Procreate, but found out I can just write a word into the search form in Google and it recognizes that and does the search for me. That's pretty cool. I know I can use it to take notes, as well, so I may do that.
