The Targus Antimicrobial Active Stylus for iPad is a fantastic addition to my tech setup! The white design is sleek and professional, and I love the added antimicrobial protection, which provides peace of mind knowing the stylus is resistant to bacteria and germs.
In terms of performance, the stylus is incredibly responsive and accurate. Whether I’m taking notes, drawing, or navigating my iPad, it glides smoothly across the screen with minimal lag. The pressure sensitivity feels just right, offering a natural writing experience. It’s also very comfortable to hold for extended periods, thanks to its ergonomic design.
I’ve also found the battery life to be excellent, lasting through long sessions without needing frequent recharges. Pairing with my iPad was a breeze, and it’s compatible with a wide range of apps, making it versatile for both work and creative use.
Overall, the Targus Antimicrobial Active Stylus is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable, and hygienic stylus for their iPad. Highly recommend it!

I needed a stylus for my iPad Pro but didn’t want to spend a fortune, so I decided to give this one a try. For the price, I wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. It writes smoothly, responds well to touch, and feels comfortable in hand. I use it mostly for note-taking and occasional drawing, and so far, it has worked flawlessly.

I ordered this product for my new iPad gen 9 and it works perfectly for it. It’s light weight and easy to set up. Works and looks exactly like an apple stylus. Would definitely recommend this product especially since it’s cheaper than the apple product

Tips Broke Too Easily, Pretty Expensive

The stylus itself works well but the tips broke very, very easily. Went through both of them in less than two weeks.
Also, the price is somewhat high considering it has fewer features than the Apple Pencil 1 and isn't that much cheaper.
