The 2nd pencil you showed with the rubber end and optional fiber tip is a 2 in 1 Active Capacitive stylus. It doesn’t need pairing because you turn it on by allowing it to charge on the iPad or its magnetic USB cradle and since the rubber/fiber tip works by using electrical conduction when pressure is applied the way the iPad reads the stylus when it’s powered on allows the pencil/pen tipped end to work with that same electrical conduction by the aided help of the battery inside the stylus that you charge (hence, active tip) because the conduction allowing the screen to pick up the movement of the stylus is generated by the battery mimicking that of the capacitive end. A capacitive stylus is the same as any other stylus, only it works with capacitive touchscreen devices as well as other types of touchscreens. It features an electrically conductive tip that’s able to absorb some of the device’s electrostatic field. 2 in 1’s like this are my preferred style because no matter what one end always works and the rubber/fiber tip end allows you to swipe up to unlock your iPad and allows for all upward swipes to register. Sometimes the button ended stylus pens don’t return me to my split screen manager home page on my iPad so I stopped buying those. Awesome reviews! Thanks!
There is so much awesome info in this one comment. I wish I had your level of knowledge on this topic. That was fun to read. I have read it several times to process all the info. Glad my review helped. Looking forward to more.
I’m just wondering if the tips might be interchangeable with the Apple pen? If so, you could buy the replaceable Apple tips. Trying to save some money ahead of buying them to find out. Great review by the way, thank you!
Do you find the iPad really heats up when using either the Apple or ESR pencil? Mine gets really hot when using notes and I’ve seen other comments to that effect. BTW, ESR (and other sellers) have pencils which work the same but don’t have have wireless charging and are even cheaper - useful if you get a 2024 iPad Pro or Air which is not compatible with the wireless charging capabilities of both these models.
@@thebetterbuy thanks, amazon in australia sneaky they mixed both usbc and non usbc together, so when I tried to change colours I didnt even realise I was changing variants
Please help. I feel like the light indicator of the silver does not turn off for a long time even after 10 mins and it drains the battery more than actually using it. Is it a defect?
The dongle in the 2nd model is useful for the iPad 10th generation, as it doesn't have the magnets for aligning and charging the stylus. Great review, thanks for the video!
Are they compatible with the ipad air 3rd gen ? Because in their website they claim that they both are compatible but in amazon page they don’t mention the ipad air 3rd gen
@@thebetterbuy i'm just curious about the returning policy in this case if I do order the stylus and turns out its not compatible 🦦btw I haven't mention this but your video was so helpful to me I was planning to get the apple pencil from the used market but now I'm leaning toward the alternatives instead
4:21 loving this pencil. It is charging wirelessly for me on iPad and brand new iPad Mini 6. I am struggling with Bluetooth connection. First device paired seamlessly. Second device is not recognizing the pen. It comes up as “accessory” instead of ESR and then doesn’t pair. Thoughts?
FYI the pairing is only needed for the end click functions. Since there’s no sensitivity functions, etc (on either of them), the soft end one doesn’t have anything that requires pairing.
hi again. Im coming back to this video to ask you if they magnetically attach to these new ipads, because in the esr site they say they dont. I know its contradictory to ask as they magnetically charge but thats what I read in the site the
do you notice any latency differences between apple's and esr's? it can be checked recording fast drawing in slow motion and seeing the gap left behind
I have not noticed any latency, but it is not a huge part of my use. Writing, underlining etc, circling and highlighting work the same as the Apple Pencil from my perspective.
This is straight up misleading. You say in the beginning of the video that they charge magnetically, the title of the video is 2024 iPad Pro..., yet neither of them charges magnetically on the 2024 iPad Pro (nor does any other pencil pro knock-off). Here, take ma view and a downvote for deliberately misleading people.
I hear you on this. However my simple questions to you are do they charge magnetically? Do they write and work with the new iPad? I am clear in the video about the function of both devices. Obviously the video helps explain the difference.

does this have an effect on latency?

Can you say how can i find replacement tips for this one mine 3 already worn out
can I use a usb-c lead that has an ordinary USB male to charge it, like with the previous version, or must I use an Apple USB-c plug? Thanks!
do we know if these are compatible with the brand new ipads for 2024
They should be compatible in use, the issue will be charging now that they moved the wireless connection.
Were you not using it with a new 2024 iPad in this video?
@@kennyb153 this is a 2021 iPad Pro. The pencils are compatible with the 2024 iPad Pro in all ways except the charging.

It definitely helped! I ended buying this model, and that was definitely the better buy!

Will this work on the new iPad a mini 7??
I was about to ask thesame
Are they compatible with the ipad air 3rd gen ? Because in their website they claim that they both are compatible but in amazon page they don’t mention the ipad air 3rd gen
I cannot answer this from my own experience. I’d have to refer to their statements as you have said.

whats your ipad case
you can't get it any more. Its an ESR they have different versions on amazon now.

I’d just unpair and forget the device on all devices and start the pairing over.

It works with ipad m2, but wont charge from attaching it to the ipad. Just got mine today from amazon and tried it.
@@adarsmohan76 ahh thank you but I bought 1 week ago so.
@@adarsmohan76this fits with exactly what I was saying and is why they include a charger. Thanks for the verification.
Can they also sense pressure?
They do an ok JB with pressure for making thick/thin lines
They don't have pressure but the have tilt sensitivity
I'm sure the white one you have doesn't support wireless charging. could you pls confirm that? Thanks
It is charging wirelessly for me.

I have a knock off that charges on my iPad Pro… just saying
does the esr pencil magnetically charge in ipad pro m4 version ?
No it won't
Does pencil charge from ipad, i mean after sticking to ipad.
The 2-1 without USbc charges by sticking it to the ipad
