Summary
The Apple Pencil 2 is the go-to stylus when it comes to the iPad.
However, it does come with a hefty price tag of $129.
It even charges wirelessly and attaches magnetically for a convenient experience on a budget.

But, back on the wireless charging.
You see, theApple Pencil 2has 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity.
The Zagg Pro Stylus 2, however, lacks the pressure-sensitive functionality that Apples counterpart boasts.
The Zagg Pro Stylus 2 is an Apple Pencil alternative that is feature-packed while still saving you money over the official model. With the ability to wirelessly charge on the side of your iPad, the Zagg Pro Stylus 2 also features tilt recognition when sketching, though it doesn’t offer pressure sensitivity.
This is perfectly fine (and somewhat welcomed) when taking notes or writing on the iPad.
However, if youre an avid sketcher, then the pressure sensitivity is going to be sorely missed here.
Zagg did build in the tilt functionality that the Apple Pencil has, though theres no graduation to it.

You either have full power vertical writing or soft side swiping, there is no in-between.
Zagg’s Pro Stylus 2 is probably the better choice for anyone considering Apple’s new low-cost stylus.
Of course, you have the normal stylus tip thats designed for sketching and writing.

But, on the top, over the on and off button, is a more rubber-style tip.
This is because I dont like the way it feels with the pen tip against the screen.
Having the softer, rubber tip on the top of the Pro Stylus 2 is really nice for scrolling.
