Works Perfectly!
This stylus works flawlessly! First of all, it was packaged really nicely and came with clear instructions on how to use. It’s really comfortable and very accurate when it comes to writing and drawing. I love that the charge lasts for 10 hours as I’m always forgetful when it comes to charging things. Can’t recommend this stylus enough, also really appreciate the extra t...

Targus Active Stylus for iPad, White (AMM174AMGL)
Don't purchase from staples like I did. You can buy them just about anywhere online for 15 to 20 I paid 80 in the store at Concord NH. Not to mention do not waste your time signing up for their rewards program I've spent nearly $8000.00 with them and was told I was up to $4.00 dollars in rewards. Lastly the staff at the store I was at clearly knows nothing about custom...

Cannot connect or use it to device
I was very excited to bring this stylus home. I figured out how to charge and turn it on even though there were no instructions. It feels great and looks great. I like the flat side so it will not roll. However, the stylus will not interact with my device. Not an iPad and not an iPhone. I know that other styli (plural of stylus) do work on my phone, which is an iPhone 1...

Best Apple Pencil Alternative
I went through three Zag Pro’s and they suck, I bought one of these and I’m very happy with the quality!

I received this as a gift and I liked it at first but the tips wears out wayyy too fast and it becomes really inconsistent when turning on which wastes a lot of time.

Awesome tool. But I wasted my money.
Love the design. The feel. Everything about it. Minus jt doesn’t work. I can not get it to work j my iPhone. Maybe it’s me. Maybe it’s broken. Maybe it just doesn’t work in iPhone. J dunno. But I know I wasted my money.

This pen is amazing! Worth the money!
I’ve only had this pen a few days but I already love it. I wasted so much money on cheap pens that did not work or broke within 24 hours. Writing with it is so smooth, and very easy to use. It came with a charger, an extra tip, and instructions. I would definitely buy this for a friend or for myself again if needed. 10 out of 10 for sure!

Great Low Cost Alternative To Apple Pencil
I bought this stylus for use with my iPad mini 6. At half the price of a 2nd Gen Apple Pencil, I was really excited to see how the two compare.
The tip of the stylus is extremely precise and just as sensitive as the Apple Pencil. I use it primarily with the Procreate app, and all brushes behave the way I'd expect - very happy about that. It comes with an extra tip i...

I received this stylus in exchange for my review. I opened the package and immediately put on the charger. After about 20 minutes I decided I needed to try it out. There are no hoops to set up, just tap to turn on and use! So simple! The sensitivity is amazing. I really wasn’t expecting too much, but this thing really works like a dream. It’s great for art, writing an...

So glad I got this pen!
I got this pen for my iPad so I could use it many different ways. It did not disappoint! It’s easy to use, sturdy, durable and not lightweight like others I’ve tried in the past. This pen will last awhile and I’m excited! I’d definitely recommend this stylus if you are looking for one. It hasn’t disappointed me yet!

Perfect
This stylus pen is perfect! It was very easy to set up just double tap the tip to turn it on and you’re ready to go. It is not heavy, magnetic so it sticks to your iPad. Perfect for drawing on your iPad or for writing. All in all I am extremely happy with it. If you want to avoid spending a lot of money purchasing the original I think this brand is the best option it ex...

Yes please!
This stylus is really great! It works on our iPads perfectly, and is great for writing and clicking on small details on the screens. I would highly recommend to anyone who has an iPad, especially for playing games or for my little one to do their homework. Must have!

Love it
I really like the Antimicrobial Active Stylus for iPad. It works better than I thought it would. It doesn’t matter how your writing looks as long as the iPad can read it. It’s so much easier than using your finger to tap stuff too. Now if you could use it on phones too that would be great!

I have used the Targus US - Antimicrobial Active Stylus for iPad for about a week now and love how easy it was to turn on and instantly start at tasks with my iPad. It is very precise and I love taking notes and completing my drawings on it with the pen before work starts the next day.

Great stylus and it's antimicrobial!
This Targus antimicrobial active stylus for iPad is great! I love to draw and color on my iPad, and this stylus helps with that. When I use this stylus, it actually feels similar to when I’m drawing or coloring on paper, which I love. I especially love that this stylus is unique in the fact that it is antimicrobial. This is a great feature, especially in this time of th...

Great pen!
This is very nice stylus for the iPad. Having never used a stylus before, it is hard to know what to expect. This pen does a good job at what it is supposed to. I have used it for basic navigation as well as drawing. My son even had a fun time using it to scribble. Keep in mind this is an active stylus - so you need to turn it on to get it to work (I made that mistake i...

Amazing Quality and style
Previous I was using a generic stylus with my ipad. It worked but was not smooth or very accurate. This stylus feels and works great. It has a nice weight to it and is very accurate. I like to use this to capture notes and this helps make my hand writing very clear.

Love it
This pen is so easy to use. It is very accurate. You truly feel like you are using a regular pencil, or pen, etc. I have not experienced any lagging. I use the pen to color and shade. It feels so sturdy, I can’t believe how affordable it is compared to the brand pen. I feel so lucky to have bought this. Amazing quality, I highly recommend.
