Okay, let me start by saying I'm THAT person who loses pens constantly. Like, 'buying a 20-pack of Bics every semester' level of bad. So when I saw this ESR pencil had FindMy compatibility? Instant cart.
The magnetic attachment is STRONG - my iPad Mini 6 carries it like a champ during campus sprints between classes. Pro tip: The matte black finish looks way more expensive than the $30 price tag suggests.
Writing feels...weirdly good? Not quite Apple Pencil premium, but for taking notes in GoodNotes it's shockingly smooth. The tilt sensitivity actually works better than I expected for quick sketches during boring lectures.
BIGGEST WIN: That 30-minute charge time is no joke. I plugged it in during my morning coffee and it lasted through back-to-back classes. Though fair warning - the battery indicator could be clearer (currently just shows full/medium/low).
Would I recommend? 100% if you're a student or casual user. Artists might want more precision, but for $30 with FindMy? Absolute steal compared to Apple's pricing.
