What customers say about "Features"
Adobe Ink & Slide Creative Cloud Stylus
  • The aluminum accent, coupled with the smooth plastic and the pen holder all scream top-quality.
  • I've so far tested with ProCreate and SktechBook Pro, and both work.
  • This is the most comfortable and lightest stylus that I have ever used.
  • AstroPad is macOS only, so you have to be fully in the Apple ecosystem.
  • Aluminum accent scratches and dents easily.
Apple Pencil Stylus Pen
  • Using it with the 2018 iPad 9.7 inch, it does work beautifully.
  • Great addition to the iPad for fine precision artwork and illustration.
  • Pretty low battery life and fiddly to charge.
  • This works well on the new iPad Air. Perfect for me!
  • Not the most comfortable pen to write with as it's quite slippery.
