## Description

Enjoy pixel-precise writing and drawing with this stylus featuring a responsive smart chip, 0.1mm accuracy, and 2X faster USB-C charging for up to 10 hours of use.

Review: Decent product and good value - I’m very happy with this purchase. It arrived promptly and worked pretty much first time, straight out of the box. No special pairing required with my iPad Mini 6. It’s the first time I’ve had one of these, so I’m not an expert, but it seems to work exactly as it should. Easy to activate and turn off. Decent battery life and quick to charge. Seems also to work accurately on the screen. But actual writing takes some practice because the screen doesn’t offer any resistance like paper does with a pen. But for lazy browsing, it’s just the job! At under £20 and with the provenance of many good reviews, I think this one represents great value.
Review: Great item! - Really good and affordable alternative for the Apple Pencil - works just as well and allows for scribble function. Comfortable to use and doesn’t glitch like others I have tried, can lean on the screen and still write perfect! Would recommend to anyone who needs a cheaper alternative to the Apple Pencil

## Features

- ✍【0.1 mm Pixel Precise Without Delay】: The upgraded smart chip delivers pixel-level accuracy of 0.1 mm with high responsiveness, no breakpoints, and no delays. You can enjoy writing small words and drawing fine lines with ease, just like using a real pencil! NOTE: The iPad stylus does not support pressure sensitivity
- ✍【2X Faster Charge】: Metapen Pencil A8 fully charges in just 30 minutes via USB-C and lasts up to 10 hours. 1-min charge = 50-min use; 4-min charge = 2-hour use. The LED indicator displays different colors based on battery level, reminding you to recharge in time. It automatically shuts down after 5 minutes of inactivity for efficient energy saving
- ✍【More Durable Tips】: Made of high-quality polymer, the Metapen's tips pass a 20 km durability test—2X more durable than original iPencil tips. Their internal structure remains intact even after 3,000 impacts. Each Metapen A8 pen comes with one extra replaceable tips , saving costs for frequent users
- ✍【Tilt-sensitive and Palm Rejection】: Different tilt angles create varying lines and shadows. Tilt for the shadow in [Pencil Brush] or tilt for thicker lines in [Marker brush]. Our iPad stylus supports Palm Rejection, so no need for a glove. You can rest your palm or fingers on the screen during sketching, drawing, or writing
- ✍【Quick Connect and Double Magnets】: No need to connect via Bluetooth or apps. Simply double-tap the invisible touch switch on the rounded end of A8 to power ON/OFF. With two built-in magnets, the Metapen iPad Pen securely attaches to your iPad anytime, no more rolling away or getting lost. (NOTE: Wireless Charging is NOT Supported. NO magnetic attachment for iPad Air 3rd/M2/M3 Gen, iPad 6th/7th/8th/9th/10th/11th Gen, iPad mini 5th/7th, iPad Pro M4)

NOTE: The Pencil A8 is NOT compatible with iPads before 2018, iPhone, Android or Microsoft devices. Please check your iPad model before ordering
- ✍【All-powerful Assistant】: Pencil A8 uses the latest technology to accurately capture your every stroke, perfect for study, work, note-taking, drawing, sketching, designing, and video editing. Like the original iPencil, it works with iPad for smart graffiti (auto-converting rough sketches into regular shapes) and double-click on the lock screen for quick notes. It is a reliable partner for children, college students, engineers, artists, and anyone who uses iPad for digital creation

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great item!
*by C***N on 4 February 2026*

Really good and affordable alternative for the Apple Pencil - works just as well and allows for scribble function. Comfortable to use and doesn’t glitch like others I have tried, can lean on the screen and still write perfect! Would recommend to anyone who needs a cheaper alternative to the Apple Pencil

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good pencil for its price, but the magnetic attachment is decent.
*by J***Y on 2 November 2025*

Overall, It is a good pencil. It does what it needs to do. I like writting on it and it feels like a real pencil. It is long lasting, it survives my long study. The magnetic part is weak and it can easily removed when it’s attached to the tablet. I consider this as bad because it doesn’t stay well, but it’s decent enough. Better than not working magnetic attachment.
