Logitech Crayon for the iPad Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- I've had my eye on one of these since it was announced earlier this year along with the new iPads. It's limited, it's designed for the education market so it doesn't to as much as the apple pencil. The big difference is the lack of pressure sensitivity.

For my style of art I really don’t need pressure sensitivity so I think I’m going to pick this up
Jase Bellinger same I really want this product
Jase Bellinger yepp same for me
I never use pressure sensitivity either and I use procreate and other people say that is a problem but I found a way to do the same thing
Same all so eat your cereal
A -net how and what’s the way you found because I bought a Logitech crayon and I wanted to know a way to get pressure sensitivity
Another excellent review, but the product aside, I think you’re onto something with the back and forth animation and voice over. Nice job by your daughter as well.
hehe, she's a natural.
Wah! Your daughter would make an awesome voice actor! Lol Anyway nice video as always! This would make a nice alternative to an apple pencil if someone wanted to save the money and buy the latest non-pro iPad and wants to dabble in drawing in the future.
I'm triggered by Brad's pronunciation of "crayon".
haha, it's one of those words that's pronounced very differently in the US than in other countries. Like aluminum.
@@thebradcolbow your not in the us?
THE CRAN
Cray-on. CRAY-ON Not cran 😂
ff1...yup, I think is from Ohio,.... and I believe that part is still in the US.... ;)
Yes more snarky animations :D love them! And your daughter did a great job reading them :D
I wanted to update on the Logitech Crayon as someone who just got it for their iPad:
It's really nice to use, and for note taking and sketching/doodles (this is great as a designer as pressure sensitivity isn't as needed).
This pen also works on multiple devices now! (I have an iPad gen 7).
Overall, this is great for those who need a good stylus and do not drastically need pen pressure sensitivity.
The way you say “cray-in” or “crayn” is killing me! Maybe it’s me I always thought the word was pronounced “cray-on”. Kind of like “stay on” course. Any who loved the video I wish it did work on the iPad Pro devices .That’s definitely a dealbreaker. Love your videos.
It's a regional thing. That's how everyone around me says it. Most of the world, even most of the US pronounces it Cray-on
Brad Colbow -I’m from the East Coast so Crayon it is.
Brad Colbow No matter how you say it I love your videos.
The voice of the pencil took me off guard I expected to hear your voice 😅
Logitech make cranes now?
Your daughter was a great add!!! Shes a natural!😆
No pressure sensitivity, no thanks
not required for note taking. I might go for this if this was available in my country
Not required, but still nice to have.
I hate pressure sensitive lol
@Dunder Mifflin But this isn't a "cheap" stylus. It's a $70 stylus that's almost as much as the Apple Pencil.
David Beier in Australia the Logitech crayon is $118, the 1st gen Apple Pencil $148 and the second gen Apple Pencil is $218. For casual users with the right iPad, the crayon is definitely the best choice
Your daughter is awesome, great voice over, one of my favorite video! I will stick with the apple pencil, but I see its for school so that's great!
You and your daughter make a good combo for RUclips! Hope to see more vids like this :D
you can connect it to two ipads at once (personal experiance .. ipad pro 2018 and ipad 9th gen) and probably more then just two
Just make a cartoon with a bunch of styluses. I just want to know if the Surface pen and what I assume was the Adonis stylus would get along. And does the Apple Pencil talk too?
The animation is really coming along.
I actually use the Crayon as my primary inker, cause I'm not as steady with applying pressure even after all this time. In Affinity Designer, I just use a specific inking brush type that has varying width, duplicated it a number of times, set them to the different stroke widths that I use, and select the size I want as I go. Found myself far more efficient at inking and it's far more comfortable to hold for a long period of time.
And why does it seem like I'm the only person in the world who NEVER considered charging my Apple Pencil 1 using the iPad's charging port?
Oh, and one more thing to add: The Crayon now works with just about every iPad that uses an Apple Pencil, so when I accidentally promised my aut son that he could have my iPad Air 3 - which uses the AP1 and you cannot go back on anything you've said to an autistic - the Crayon will work with the refurbed Air 4 I have ordered, meaning I'm in no rush and can wait until the Apple Pencil 2 goes on sale before getting it.
Okay, in reply to my own comment, the day after I posted it, the AP2 went on sale for about US$105 on Woot, so I got it. I then sanded off the smoothness and painted it black. It still worked - it could still charge and draw - but the paint wouldn't stick, so I wiped it off so now it just looks kind of sketchy, like someone's chewed on it. (I'm going to try RIT dye next.)
But this has given the AP2 just enough extra texture that, along with its smaller size & balance, it is FAR more comfortable than the AP1, or even the Crayon.
Everyone talks about the new way to charge is the great thing about the AP2, but it's actually HOLDING this pencil that I find so incredible. I actually draw with more confidence.
I still leave pressure turned off, though.
Really great review Brad, thank you .... I just bought one today (UK) ... I use my iPad predominantly for note-taking and line drawing ... I hated the apple pencil, horrid to hold, bad weight balance, smooth and non grippy and that noisy tippity tap, like a dog on a laminate floor, on the screen ... I lurrrrrrrrve the Crayon - the carpenter's pencil shape is fabulous for long stints of writing - lack of pressure sensitivity not a thing for me (I can still use the pencil if I want to do some serious drawing) but all in all a way more pleasurable experience. I am a long time Samsung S3 and S-Pen user - and this reminded me of the S-Pen a little more ... the Crayon was designed with students in mind, so more a writing than drawing instrument, so it ticks all the boxes for me ...
Both of you would make for an epic father-daughter team! Also, what the heck's a Cran?? (jk)
That aside, Logitech Crayon is not too bad for the purpose it serves. However, it seems like we're going to have to wait for a very long time before a suitable (and perhaps...better) alternative to the Apple Pencil pops up. I'm now reminded of the old "Intuos Creative Stylus" that Wacom did a few years back, and I'm just wondering if they'll do it again, this time as a competitor for the Apple Pencil. Probably expensive af (knowing Wacom) and it would follow the default form factor their styluses have. As much as I love the Apple Pencil, it's a bit too long and heavy for me, and I think it'd be cool if there were shortcut buttons on it (for undo/redo, brush size change and that kind of stuff)
On the other hand, there's that upcoming iPad Pro model that we're all waiting for this year (or the next). I've read speculations that there will be a new version of the Apple Pencil coming along with it, but sadly those are just rumors (unless some good folks here can link me to official annoucements).
Loved the voice over 😁
There's an iOS update that allows the crayon to work on 2018 iPad pros
Can you do a tutorial on how to animate on iPad? I’de be really interested to know what programs there are.
I like your vids & your course for procreate was really helpful, so thanks.
The stylus dosen't connect, it ises some sort of electrycity so yes you could probably use it with like 7 ipads at once
Its bluetooth le ( low energy) thats how airpods tell you the battery percentage
@@yellowmm69 it isnt
I think the snarky stylus should become a main character... I don't know why but... it just feels right man!
Thanks! You pointed out everything which I have had as questions in my head.
idk why i would want pressure sensitivity when i can just change the thickness or im just talking nonsense
Are you even an Artist???
I feel if you are a *professional* artist you should buy the official one since it has pressure sensitivity
I’d love to see you do a review on paperlike! Paperlike is a screen layer for the iPad which feels just like you’re drawing/writing on paper. Very handh for people (students!) who write a lot on their iPad.
Haha ur daughter did a good job.
Not even for someone who has just started out drawing? I have a Logitech Crayon that I inherited. Can I start to learn drawing with it and switch to the Apple Pencil later. Anyone?
Brad, have you ever reviewed a Lenovo Yoga? Are they good for Photoshop/art?
Added note: I love your reviews!
for the 20 to 30 bucks ya save, it isnt worth it. sure it might be nice for schools for notes but besides that long term your better off buying the pencil. even if just for notes id still suggest the pencil cuz say if ya use another ipad that isnt the 2018 ipad then you dont gotta buy another pencil and just use the one ya got.
and if ya really wanna save money then ya prob could just get any old 2-5 buck stylus if ya really want something to do notes with.
prob could find something round 20 if ya want more accuracy or something
I am a college student, the Crayon is not available and an Apple Pencil is only $88 with student's discount. I like how the Apple Pencil is weighted and I do feel like the Pencil is going to outlive my 2018 iPad.
Will it work with the 2019 iPad?
"Cran"
Brad? Repeat after me; Cray (rhymes with Gray) - ON . Cray-On . Got it? Now try on your own...
You're funny lol. Thanks for all your great reviews.
Excellent video Brad!
Old school animators used to talk about 'pencil miles'.
Lol everybody here seems to be triggered by the crayon pronunciation but I really don’t mind it. In Romania we also pronounce it “creion” not “cray-on” so for me it’s perfect.
What art apps would you recommend for the Logitech Pencil/2018 iPad
I was surprised when he said its as good as the apple pencil, then i was reliefed when he said it doesnt hv pressure sensitivity, like if same
Question : Will that Crayon still function if the battery goes completely dead? Once apple pencil discharge completely it won't charge or work again, stated by Apple support tech!
great work on animations!!
Hi, I am actually 13 yrs old, And I just want it for normal digital art, not much of an artist tho...so should I buy the Logitech crayon? As I feel Apple Pencil is too expensive, it would be great of if I could get your reply soon
5:06 that was funny. i like it. thanks for it :)
Great for kids
BRAD... can you make a review for the HUION KAMVAS GT 191 V2? Im trying to search for a review for this device and I would like to request if you could do it so that I could have a better idea about the device before I make a purchase. I trust your reviews on this.
it may oot, but i hope you can make video review for kamvas gt-191 v2. im planning to buy between old 191 or the new v2. in my case, the old one is ready at country and the new one i have to order from oversea.
So, I’m assuming that the green light on the crayon stays lit. I’ve had mine for a couple of years & I’ve only recently gotten an iPad that can use the crayon with. The green light only stays lit for a second or two. So is my crayon's internal battery dead? If so, how do I go about replacing it?
Yoooooooooooooo your vids are great
Actually, u got the red light wrong. The red light turns on when the crayon is below 10% battery and it blinks when it is below 5%.
If it wasn't shape was like that I would buy
Your daughter needs a serious namecheck. She's good.
Brad any thoughts on adobe sketch (now that you can use it with kyle brushes)??
Hey do u think they’ll make a new one with pressure sensitivity in the near future..?
What brush did you use to color in the skin and the hair of the animated face you drew?
I just don't think this makes sense for the price. It retails for only $20 - $30 less than the Apple Pencil (about 25% cheaper). Even if you're not an illustrator it seems like having the option for pressure sensitivity is worth spending a few more bucks. If all you need is to take notes then it seems there are much more affordable options available. This would make a lot more sense if it was $40 or $50 instead of $70.
For schools its cheaper since they buy in bulk thats what it was first marketed for
is something wrong with me if I fiddle with the cap and unscrew the tip
Darn, why would they make it so limited?
What is the price of the Logitech as the Apple Pencil is way to much cost wise
Well if it’s for note taking the tilt isn’t needed at all for some reason that triggers me
Works with all the new iPads now since the update.......
What about foil on a marker
@Brad, wasn't sure where or how to contact you. I have realized, by making a google search, that when just looking for "cintiq alternatives" it immediately jumps as one of the first results (no surprise here) one of your pages. But is a very old one, old opinions, old models, and way less cute site design. Seems you have this page yet there to not loose those entries from google, which is totally clever. Still... I would use some sort of redirection. One not loosing the SEO juice. Been a while since I worked in SEO as part of my duties, but I believe in your domain or hosting company, maybe in .htaccess file, or maybe in some modern feature of your hosting's cpanel, you could set a 302 redirection, to keep the seo juice,and get those people reaching the old and so well google ranked page to be automatically redirected to the new page, which you also have, with current articles and current stuff and design.
The old page is exactly this one :
bradcolbow.com/reviews/wacom-cintiq-alternatives/
huh....wait a minute.... is the SAME than the new one....
bradcolbow.com/reviews/wacom-cintiq-alternatives/
Maybe sth going wrong in your redirections when accessed from the site than just coming from google ?
Maybe the content is similar... but the design is really much nicer in that orange-ish yellow (not due to the color, but because is imo better designed (from a fellow designer ;) ))
Cheers,
Does it work with android
I am having a hard time getting mine to work on tablet not sure why its not working!!
can I use this product on the iPad mini 2 2013?
Does logitech work with ibx piant? I have have an ipad mini so, I'm curious
Great review Brad, not just cause your always honing your channels style for the better and funnier (funny-er?), but also a great review cause you brought up the education sector. Very relevant point of view to consider the Crayon for, for all those snot-nosed brats bustin' everything! Gah!
I am looking for a drawing tablet with a screen that I can take with me at school, for taking notes, and mainly for drawing and sketching. What would you recommend.
And what would you recommend on a budget, links the cheapest one that is actually good
Ipad 2018 330 dollars
Ipad mini 399.99 dollars
Samsung Tab A? Im not sure what you call it.
Do they plan to add pressure sensitivity via firmware update?
So it’s not working on iPad Air 3 ?
cra’an
can i use the ipad 8 charger to charge it?
What pen works with a 2017 ipad
I still don’t know if i should buy, i wanted to take notes, buttt also i want to draw (start to draw, bc i am not godo at all) :(
Compatible with iPad Air2 ?
It works on like every iPad it works on my iPad Pro my mums iPad Air my dads iPad mini and my girlfriends 2018 iPad Pro
No work on pro. How many reviews gonna fool people cause title misleads them. There is no special tool, you can pull the orange tip off by putting pressure on grey part then pull orange. The tip is exact same as Apple Pencil. Any other videos you want me to correct for you let me know.
"It turns red"
"But then I read"
It’s called "active capacitive"
Review the XP Pen Artist 12!
It just shipped today!!!
I'm so excited!
And I just can't hide it!
What is the best alternative stylist for the iPad Pro 4th gen?
This one works with the ipad pro now with an updated
What app is he using?
It don’t plug in my pencil. Has no plug
Calm down brother, this video is a year and a half old. Tech changes over time.
Personally I wouldn't let the kid to bring his iPad to school, some things should stay traditional as long as possible, like note taking. And even so, I'd rather buy a Pencil rubber protector, which won't cause the stylus to roll over the edge or loose the cap. Cheaper that way xd
Wait it doesn't have pressure sensitivity, what kind of stylus doesn't have that.
Do xp pen artist 12 please
Does this work with android?
Nope

Does it work with tempered glass?
What is Tempered Glass
Not available for purchase by the general public.
Its on best buy and amazon and apple store
Brad: it only works with one ipad
Me in 2020: what the hell this is 2020 my dude
Great video!
If I may wear my tin-foil conspiracy hat for a second... I think the tech to allow the Crayon to work without pairing is inside of the 2018 iPad (which is technically the newest manufactured model)- much like any recent Galaxy Note phone & the clickable S-Pens. So, I'm thinking Apple is gonna include this pair-free tech inside the upcoming 2018 iPad Pros. They could also reveal an Apple Pencil 2? It could totally work in the same pair-free way, but unlike the Crayon, actually include pressure sensitivity! For a likely higher price than the first Apple Pencil (especially because at $100 it would be too close to the Crayon). 🤔
Alright, I've done enough overthinking! Lol.
Well, giving that Surface pen doesn't need any syncing at all (you can't click the eraser button if you don't sync but you can just sync by using the pen right away) so it's probably a smart move for Apple to do something similar.
The Apple pencil doesn't work like the s-pens (Wacom EMR) nor other digitisers (N-trig or whatever Microsoft call it now, Synaptics, etc.). Most of the Apple pencil 'work' is done in the pencil itself, hence the need to pair and the relatively short battery life.
What may be happening here though is something like the W1 (or whatever the newest version is called) chip allowing for pairing with just one action, in this case pressing the power button. I believe this is done by the main device (iPad, etc.) always searching for accessories.
So... To wrap it up: If you need a stylus for art, get the Apple Pencil; if you need something to take notes, that's the one!?!?!?
Not compatible with a hell of a lot. 😾😾
