Acefast Capacitive Wireless Charging Pencil for Apple iPad

A fingertip is fine for scrolling and hopeless for marking up a PDF or sketching a rough plan. This capacitive pencil gives you a proper point to work with on an iPad. It weighs 15 g and measures 165.5 mm long by 9 mm across, so it sits in the hand the way an ordinary pen does rather than something you have to concentrate on holding.

Writing latency is low, so strokes land as you make them instead of trailing behind the nib, and the tip follows the shape of Apple's own nib design. Pulling the cap off trips a hall switch to wake the pencil, and pushing it back on turns it off, which saves hunting for a button. Magnetic absorption holds it to the side of supported iPads, and once it is paired over Bluetooth the iPad shows you how much charge is left.

If you would rather try one against your own iPad first, we keep them on the counter in Warrington.
