Best stylus for iPad: Compatible Apple Pencils & alternatives for iPad sketching

Works with: iPad (from 6th generation), iPad Pro (from 2nd generation), iPad Air (from 3rd generation), iPad Mini (5th generation)

According to smooth writing and capable of Smooth Writing 3, Baseus adds some additional features to its successor – the Smooth Writing Ps4 360. As much as the three LED power seers, with the power button and its illuminations now positioned at the top of the stylus, so it acts as click on a ballpoint. You always get light plastic construction, with the same flat edge with magnets below that are on the Apple USB-C pencil. The pen clip bearing the Baseus name is current a sliding panel that reveals the USB-C port inside, a bit like Apple’s offer.

With the PS4, there is now an area sensitive to the touch which can be doubled to execute a pre-assigned command (there are 32 to choose, including redo, cancel, erase, screenshot, etc.) or you can slide your finger from top to bottom to scroll the documents or websites. When these features work, they are very useful, but several of the commands are non -functional in certain applications, while the scrolling is quite affected – works well in Safari, but barely on Chrome.

The writing with the PS4 is a pleasant affair. The feeling is a little stiff, but you quickly find a comfortable handle, then its navigation is simple. The follow -up is fast and precise, the cancellation of the palm is also good, which facilitates the taking of notes, the annotated documents or the rapid scribbling sketches. There is no sensitivity to pressure or sensitivity to inclination, which means that those of an artistic fold undoubtedly prefer a more advanced stylus.

The battery life is strong, Baseus indicating that you will get a maximum of 17 hours of use from a single load of 20 minutes. I certainly found that it continued to continue all week, with a rescue drain at a minimum.

If you want something in the direction of the Apple Crayer USB-C or the Apple 2 pencil, then the Baseus Smooth PS4 writing is a good cheaper alternative. The availability is that the United States and the United Kingdom seem uncertain at the time of writing, but European buyers can take one for around 40 € or often much less.
