If you’re the proud owner of an iPad, you should get yourself a stylus that will help you write and draw well on the tablet. But an Apple Pencil 2 will set you back $129 (if you don’t find a good sale). So how about something just about as good for less than half the price? Enter SwitchEasy’s EasyPencil Pro.
Check out the SwitchEasy Sale in the Cult of Mac Store to get 20% off two versions of the stylus, plus extra tips for writing and drawing.
SwitchEasy EasyPencil Pro 4 Stylus Pencil
SwitchEasy said user experience with its EasyPencil Pro 4 “surpasses the Apple Pencil 2.” If that’s true, then EasyPencil Pro’s sale price of $47.99 is quite a steal. And the previous generation is on sale for just $43.99 See below.
EasyPencil Pro 4 features a white, pressure-tested POM pencil tip similar to the one on Apple Pencil 2. It enables precise and smooth onscreen writing. Additional metal and nylon 66 tips are also included for different writing and drawing purposes.
EasyPencil features palm rejection, so your palm can rest comfortably on the screen while you write without any smearing. And fast USB-C charging requires no Bluetooth connection or proprietary apps.
As with the Apple Pencil 2, embedded magnets let you stick EasyPencil to your iPad, making it easy to carry both together.
EasyPencil Pro 4 features:
- Palm rejection
- Tilt sensitivity
- No Bluetooth or proprietary apps required
- Simple on-off touch switch
- USB-C charging port (1 hour of charging for 10 hours of continuous use)
- Ultra-fine POM tip
- Lightweight, aviation-grade aluminum
- Multi-purpose tips for general use, writing or drawing
- Magnets stick the stylus to an iPad’s edge
