Best Non-Apple pencil out there
I’ve tried three different brands and this one is the best. 5 minute auto off that actually works, click to switch on, battery indicator on device and also reports levels to battery widget. Wireless charging. Some nib tilt/thickness (think there are three levels). Palm rejection. Nice weight and balance. Only thing that’s missing is pressure sensitivity but for a sixth of the price I’ll let that slide. Unless you use your ipad specifically for art, this is easily good enough and a no brainer at this price.

Absolutely brilliant - totally worth it.
I’ve been using the Metapen A14 for a while now, and honestly, I’m super impressed. It feels just like the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen but at a much better price. The writing and drawing are smooth, no lag at all, and it works perfectly with my iPad. I use it mainly for note-taking and some light sketching, and it handles both really well. You can use it with Apple ipad normal model as well, its just it gets chared wirelessly thats why tey recomment use it with pro model. I have both and I can simply switch on both as needed. The wireless charging is such a great feature. It attaches to the side of the iPad and charges just like the original Apple Pencil. No extra cables, no hassle – I love it. It’s also moisture-proof, which I guess is nice to have, though I haven’t really tested that out (not planning to either!). Build-wise, it’s solid but lightweight. Feels good in the hand and comfortable to use for long periods. The magnet is decent, though not as strong as the Apple Pencil, so be careful if you’re carrying it in a bag – it might fall off. The only real downside is it doesn’t have tilt sensitivity, so if you’re a serious artist, you might miss that. But for someone like me, who’s mostly using it for casual stuff, it’s perfect. Overall, it’s a great buy if you’re looking for something like the Apple Pencil but don’t want to spend a fortune. Totally worth it!

A good alternative to the brand name pencil.
Great alternative to the branded pencil. Works well, is lightweight and good value. Only downside is the battery life which is good but not great.

Brilliant stylus, excellent customer service!
I bought this Metapen A14 for my iPad Pro 12.9, and it has been absolutely fantastic. It writes incredibly smoothly, charges fast, and works perfectly for writing out notes. On top of that, the customer service team is incredibly helpful, fast, and supportive. Highly recommend!

Stopped working after a few days.
Was a decent pen. Charged and worked fine on both my new iPad Pro 13” and girlfriends pro 11” inch. Then just stopped. No lights no charging. Could not hard reset or anything. All the other reviews seem ok so I was possibly unlucky. Am tempted to try again as I can send back. But don’t know. Tempted to just buy the real thing to be honest. Anyway. Good while it worked for 3 days. Sad when it stopped.

Very Good
The pen is light, and the item I got is accurate. Although the item has some errors at first, thanks to the customer service, especially Kari's help, I am satisfied with the product.

Surprised and impressed
I lost my Apple Pencil and couldn’t face the thought of buying a new one at full apple prices. So I tried this one and what a good decision! It has a strong magnet so stays attached (and charging) to the iPad as I pull it in and out of a bag. Connecting it the first time was quick and now happens automatically. The feel and balance of the pencil when writing seems very similar to the apple one - I don’t notice the difference. Very occasionally misses a small bit of writing - maybe two words every week or two, and I’m using it to write notes several hours each day. So really the only downside v the official apple one, is having to turn it on using the button on the top. That’s now become habit. This pencil is so good, I have no desire to buy another apple one. I could lose a few of these and still be financially better off! Well done to the designers, best non-apple pencil I’ve ever used.

Better value than an apple pen
Works as well as an apple pen, but at a fraction of the price. It also comes with spare tips.

Un excellent stylet pour l'iPad !
J'ai récemment acheté le Metapen A14, et je suis vraiment impressionné par sa performance ! Ce stylet de 2e génération est parfaitement compatible avec mon iPad, et j'adore la fonction de charge magnétique qui le rend super pratique à utiliser et à recharger. La sensibilité à l'inclinaison est incroyable, ce qui permet d'obtenir des traits variés et précis, que ce soit pour dessiner ou prendre des notes. De plus, le rejet de paume fonctionne parfaitement, ce qui me permet d'écrire ou de dessiner sans me soucier de toucher accidentellement l'écran avec ma main. Le design est élégant et léger, rendant son utilisation très confortable. Si vous cherchez un stylet performant pour votre iPad, je vous recommande vivement le Metapen A14. C'est un excellent rapport qualité-prix qui améliore vraiment l'expérience d'utilisation de l'iPad !

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Un’ottima alternativa alla Apple Pencil 2
Ho provato questa MetaPen A14 e devo dire che è davvero una scelta eccellente al posto della Apple Pencil 2, soprattutto per il prezzo. Uno dei punti forti è che non ha fori o porte per la ricarica: è completamente chiusa e si ricarica in wireless direttamente tramite il magnete dell’iPad, proprio come l’originale. Questo la rende più pulita, solida e resistente alla polvere. La scrittura è perfetta, molto fluida e precisa. La batteria dura tantissimo, molto più di quanto mi aspettassi. L’accensione avviene premendo sulla punta, dove si trova anche un piccolo LED bianco che rimane acceso durante l’uso. È comodo, ma forse consuma un po’ di batteria inutilmente. L’unico vero difetto che ho notato è questo: se la penna resta attaccata al magnete dell’iPad, si accende da sola anche se non la stai usando, e in una mezz'ora circa può consumare un 4-5% di batteria. Io ho risolto spostandola leggermente a destra, così non si attacca e rimane spenta. A parte questo piccolo problema, è una delle migliori penne che abbia mai provato. Consigliatissima se cerchi qualcosa di simile alla Apple Pencil 2, ma a un prezzo molto più accessibile.

Awesome pen
I recently switched from the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) to the Metapen A14 on my iPad, and I couldn’t be happier. It delivers the same precision, pressure sensitivity and palm rejection you’d expect from Apple’s stylus, yet costs a fraction of the price. • Performance: Smooth, responsive tracking across drawing apps and note‑taking. No lag, and even fine details come through clearly. • Compatibility: Plug‑and‑play pairing with iPadOS—auto‑sleep, auto‑wake, and shortcut gestures work seamlessly. • Battery life: Easily lasts a full day of heavy use, and recharges quickly via USB‑C. • Build quality: Solid aluminum body with a comfortable weight and balanced grip. My first unit stopped working after a few weeks, but customer service immediately sent a replacement—no return, no extra shipping fees. The quick resolution shows they stand behind their product. If you want full Apple Pencil functionality without the premium price tag, the Metapen A14 is an outstanding alternative.
