    Unsatisfactory

    My girlfriend says the vibrator is better.

    Not beyond all doubt...

    The Apple Pencil fits reasonably well in the hand, but it could be a little more grippy and possibly a little shorter.

    I think it's bad that the pencil has to be plugged into the Lightning port of the iPad Pro for charging.     It would probably be better to have a short cable including an adapter for it and to be able to put the pen on the tablet during the charging process. The less than 1 cm long connector that comes with the pen for charging via the mains cable is lost in no time. It would be even better if the pen cap could function as an adapter.

    This cap protects the lighting adapter, is magnetic and thus does not roll off the edge of the tablet, for example, but remains attached to the corners and also to the end of the pen. It would be great if the end of the pen also had a function, like the one from Fifty Three. Write/draw in front, erase in the back. Perhaps the lid could have been designed as a protective cover/adapter with a functional rubber cap, for example.

    In addition to the coupling piece, a replacement tip is also included in the packaging. It would be nice if the expensive pen came with a replacement cap as well as a replacement tip and coupling. I find the scope of delivery a bit meagre, and the instructions are also relatively meagre. However, not much needs to be said.

    The connection with the iPad usually works via the apps, Bluetooth must be on. There are already a few apps that support the whole thing, but sometimes I'm not sure if everything really works as it should. Unfortunately, I'm still in my infancy as far as apps are concerned. I've tried out a few so far: Apple Notes, Autodesk SketchBook, Paper by 53 and a few Adobe programmes (Sketch/Draw).

    I don't need to say any more about the fact that it's ridiculous not to have an essential tool for the iPad Pro in stock. The same goes for the keyboard. Fortunately, Logitech offers a good, unfortunately somewhat heavy, alternative.

    Works perfectly. A little too long, normal ballpoint pen size would be optimal. Price too high, as no competing product available
