I had a 2nd gen pencil. Just know if you accidentally leave it uncharged for an extended period of time, then pencil will die and will NOT recharge as it always needs to be charging. I actually like that this has the ability to be charged vs having to buy a whole new pencil 🥲

The Benks pencil has the same features (not sure about hover) as this but it does magnetically charge. It is still cheaper at around $40 usd. I use one for my Mini without any issues.

I’ve never used the Apple Pencil before so I got this one just to try it out. I’m no artist so the lack of pressure sensitivity isn’t a huge deal to me but it sure would be cool to have. For now I’m enjoying it just for making light annotations

I think the wireless charging is a big deal. Especially if you are on the go or just want less clutter in work space. If price is an issue, I'd look for an open box, refurbished, or used 2nd gen one.

@@SlatePad Not at all. I'm a student so I only use my pen to take notes. That being said, windows pen support (specifically in OneNote, which is what I use) can be unpolished at times and I've had some annoyances with interactions that don't work as expected. Edit: Overall, a windows tablet is a worse tablet, but the experience of having a single device for everything is better imo than having 2 devices.
