SwitchEasy EasyPencil Pro 3

-

$59.99 (about £55) FROM SwitchEasy, switcheasy.com FEATURES 10-hour battery life, tilt sensitivit­y, palm rejection, replaceabl­e tip, magnetic attachment, USB-C

3The EasyPencil Pro 3 looks like the second-gen Apple Pencil but has a friendlier point and is compatible with all newer iPads. It has one flat edge that stops it rolling on a flat surface, and allows it to magnetical­ly attach to iPad Pro models. It features palm rejection and tilt sensitivit­y, but no pressure sensitivit­y. To charge it, use the included USB cable – one hour gets you 10 hours of use. The nib on this stylus has a fine

point, which is accurate enough for writing notes and doing quick sketches.

On a protector-less screen, there’s some friction due to the polycarbon­ate tip against glass, but it’s still smooth overall. SwitchEasy recommends its SwitchPape­r screen protectors for the best experience.

Good battery life No pressure sensitivit­y
