would the Logitech crayon now work also on my iOS12.2 updated 2016 9.7 inch iPad pro?
i would like to buy the crayon as an alternative to the apple pencil.

The news says that the Crayon will work on the latest iPad pros, not the first iteration..

However, my brand new Logitech Crayon will NOT work on my new iPad Pro. It will work on my new mini.

Oh wow. I will just avoid it then. Thanks.

No don't avoid it. I didn't realize the crayon and apple pencil are mutually exclusive. If you have a pencil paired, the crayon won't work. Just forget the apple pencil in bluetooth, and the crayon pops to life. Since I use apps like note shelf 2, the tap to erase feature on the pencil is valuable, but the "universal" crayon has it's own value.

Crayon now works on the 11" iPad Pro, but you need iOS 12.2.

However, I don't think it works on the older iPad Pros.

A trick for using both pencils with the iPad Pro is to temporary disable the Bluetooth connection when using the crayon and reenable again when using Apple’s pencil. Works great for me.

Thanks, that's clearly quicker than "forgetting" the pencil.
