Apple Pencil Vs Logitech Crayon Reddit

Pencil recommendation (Logitech Crayon)

Hello everyone, hope you all are feeling nice today! . I'm a medical school student and I have my Ipad 8th generation and I'm looking forward to get a stylus for it The apple pencil is all good and I know it, but the thing is its price in my country is just stupid idk why it's too expensive 😅 So I wan wondering if the Logitech Crayon is any good? I need it for note taking and annotating pdf files The price difference is almost 40$ Thanks!

It's a good stylus. If you are just writing notes and doing basic doodles, then it's more than fine. Hell, I'm sure if you're a decent artist, you might even be able to do pretty good drawings with it because it just lacks pressure sensitivity and you can kinda make up for it with tilting the Crayon. That's the only real difference from the Apple Pencil in terms of actually writing and drawing with it.

Also, no pairing needed.

So even though it's not an Apple Pencil, it writes precisely? Not like those old stylus with the big chunky end?

I have heard from reviews that it is the best alternative. However the emphasis is on ALTERNATIVE which means that the Apple Pencil is still the best option for a stylus!

Thanks! I'll see what I can do .

I got mine for (very amateur) art and it works great. I don't use the tilt function and it lacks pressure sensitivity that the pencil has. For simple writing as you plan to do, it won't be an issue whatsoever.

Appreciate your words sir ! Thank you

Grad school student here- absolutely no complaints about my Logitech crayon! The only difference between it and the gen 1 pencil is pressure sensitivity, which I don't miss as I'm not an artist. It doesn't indicate battery life but I plug it in for an hour every few days and that's worked fine. Totally worth the savings.

Thank you so much ! I shouldn't be missing out on the software side right? Like apps support and such stuff

Just bought myself the Logitech crayon I think it's worth it based on the price point and the fact that you are using it just for notes :)

I ordered one actually! But it is detected the same as the apple pencil right?
