Apple's second-generation Pencil is its best model and is now on sale for close to the lowest price we've seen.
Apple designed the second-generation Pencil specifically to work with the iPad, and it's the best stylus you can buy for the company's tablets. It offers low latency, as well as double-click functionality that you can customize to switch between preferred tools. Other features include tilt sensitivity, pressure sensitivity, and what Apple claims is “pixel-perfect precision.”
One of the second-generation Apple Pencil's big advantages over its two siblings is wireless charging, as it magnetically attaches to the side of a compatible iPad while it charges. You will need a relatively recent model ipad air, ipad mini Or iPad Pro, but the magnetic charger on the side of these tablets allows you to easily store your stylus while still powering it. You don't need to think about cables or buy a case with a pen slot.
If you don't need all the features of the second generation model and want to spend a little less, Apple Pencil (USB-C) is also on sale for $70 (11% off), close to its all-time low. It offers the same precision and magnetic support, but lacks pressure sensitivity, wireless charging, and a double-tap drawing tool feature.
