which one would you choose

[Joeyli]

I just bought an Apple iPad Pro 11', because I have no budget, I want to buy an imitation of Apple Pencil

I have seen several good iPad stylus, which one do you think is more suitable? I'm in a rush to buy a stylus to use

You can't expect reasonable answers based on pictures alone. If only looks matter, you don't need our inputs - choose what you like.

I say save up for an Apple Pencil.

Oh, no, what I want is a capacitive pen for ipad

It is also an option, I bought the original apple pencil before, unfortunately after using it for half a year, it no longer works, so I am now more willing to choose a cheaper alternative than it

Since most of the alternatives I've looked at are similar in functionality, I might be inclined to choose looks first

They're all pretty much the same.
Although I have an Apple Pencil, I bought this one:

Stylus Pen for iPad 9th&10th Generation - 5X Fast Charge Digital Pen - Compatible with 2018-2023, Apple iPad Pro 11/12.9 Inch,iPad 6-10 Gen,iPad Mini 5-6 Gen,iPad Air 3-5 Gen-White

But I found a similar one on Temu for under $10 and out of curiosity I bought it. Just as good. Unless you need pressure sensitivity or the button functionality, these inexpensive Pencils work just fine.

None of these. Stick with the Apple Pencil. While an imitation may sound appealing, they all have numerous problems, most notably the lack of pressure sensitivity and palm rejection.

If it's just for note taking, an imitation is fine. But if you're actually drawing, nothing beats the Apple Pencil. Plus the Apple Pencil has been going on sale a lot lately for $80

If you really need a non-Apple one, the Logitech Crayon is well-liked. Do note you lose out on:
- double tap shortcuts
- improved accuracy
- sensitivity settings
- Hover (if on latest gen)

Just to be clear, is the the original Apple Pencil or version 2 of the Apple Pencil that you used?

Original Apple Pencil is somewhat different from the 2nd version though they both use the same pencil tips. Version 2 has an additional tap feature on the barrel.

I don't think the Amazon link product you suggested above is very good, I have bought from it before, but it was a bad shopping experience, my stylus stopped working very quickly and the seller didn't respond to me. I also bought it from temu, but it was so bad that I quickly returned it, although the difference between it and the Amazon knockoff was close to $10. I had bought a good one before, but now I can't find it anymore, it may have been taken off the shelves. I think I'll keep looking again.

If you had a bad experience then I can understand why you’d be hesitant. I’ve had both for months and use them both heavily every day without any problems.
Yes, keep looking… i’m sure you’ll come across a good one.

Thanks for the advice, but the original Apple pencil has been a bit of a hassle for me as well. I often need to switch between two ipads to work before and often need to re-pair. This is also far ah I am currently more considering alternatives

 

[Joeyli]

I ended up buying this pen, which also supports wireless charging, it's so much better than other imitations, it's easy to use, and I see there's still a discount code at the moment, so you can find out if you need it
