Metapen【Wireless Charging】Pencil A14 Compatible with 2018-2023 Apple iPad Pro 11-inch 4/3/2/1, Pro 12.9" 6/5/4/3, Air 4, Mini 6, like iPad Pencil 2nd Gen, Moisture-proof, Tilt Sensitivity Stylus Pen

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!

*** UPDATE: Since writing my review Lila from Metapens customer service reached out directly. I’ve been very impressed with her customer service and their willingness to act upon my feedback to include more detail about the life span of the pen’s nibs when used in conjunction with a paper-feel protector as this was missing from the description and product info as it will significantly limit the nibs life. They have since sent me a replacement pen and have offered to keep me updated should they release a nib more tailored for paper-feel protectors. Due to their brilliant customer service I’m upgrading my review to 5 stars as they have acted promptly to help resolve and the pen itself is great to use weartime on paper-feel aside. *** ORIGINAL This one is really nice and I chose it after reading lots of reviews about battery life, ease of use and how long before the nib wears down. The battery and pen itself is really good, nice to use and quick to set up. However, after a week of using it for uni notes I found the first nib wore down and I had to replace it, now almost another week on the second nib is already beginning to wear (shown in last photo). I haven’t used it every day but am using for a few hours a day when I do (maybe 4-5/7). I have been disappointed with how quick this has worn down and it’s not financially or environmentally practical or efficient for me to be ordering new nibs every 3-4 weeks. So it’s a great pen if you’re only using it intermittently and for short periods but if you want to use it for uni notes/work or anything more time demanding I wouldn’t recommend. I’m now looking for an alternative to meet my needs.

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.

How is this anything like the pencil

I bought this about 6 months ago to use with my M1 iPad Air, and it’s amazing! My iPad isn’t compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, but this product gives me all of the same perks for a fraction of the cost. I’ve found that it’s durable, high-quality, and holds up well (it’s often thrown about in my backpack). The magnetism is strong it looks good. The only potentially annoying factor is the light that shines out of the end, but you get used to this pretty quickly. I’d definitely recommend this product. It works great with Goodnotes for hand written uni notes.

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.

I can’t fault this pencil, it charges off my iPad and I can fully recommend its use and at £24 price it’s a no brainier.

Having had a few Apple Pencils, this is equal if not better despite some integration elements Nat available.

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 !

Der iPad-Stift ist für mich die perfekte Alternative zum Original. Besonders überzeugt mich, dass er kabellos lädt und kein separates Ladekabel benötigt, genau wie beim Originalprodukt. Die Verbindung funktioniert problemlos, der Stift ist sofort einsatzbereit und reagiert präzise. Insgesamt fühlt er sich hochwertig an und erfüllt seinen Zweck hervorragend. Klare Empfehlung für alle, die eine praktische und komfortable Stiftlösung fürs iPad suchen, ohne zu verarmen.

Werkt zeer goed samen met iPad Air.

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.

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.
