One of the defining features of Apple’s iPad Pro lineup would be its ability to use a stylus with the tablet. Sure, this has been done before but the Apple Pencil affords the user similar features and functionality that the S Pen affords to Galaxy Note owners. There is also the added advantage of the Apple Pencil being smoother/more responsive.
That being said, the Apple Pencil is also pretty expensive as far as styluses are concerned, but the good news is that you now have an alternative in the form of the Adonit Pixel. This is a stylus designed for the iPad Pro which will offer users 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity, offset correction, and palm rejection.
The only downside is that apps need to rely on the provided SDK in order for the stylus to be taken advantage of. When used normally or with apps that don’t support its features, the Adonit Pixel will simply be reduced to just a regular stylus. Another feature of the accessory would be its 1.9mm Pixelpoint tip, which apparently will offer up paper-like drag.
The best part is that the Pixel will be priced at $80, making it about $20 cheaper than the Apple Pencil. If you’d like to get your hands on it, head on over to its website to place your order.
