Review: Excellent alternative to the Apple Pencil - I bought the Metapen Pencil Air8 for my iPad Pro 11" (2022), and it works brilliantly. Pairing was straightforward, and it connected instantly without any issues. The pencil feels comfortable to hold and is very responsive in use. Writing and drawing are smooth and precise, with no noticeable lag, making it ideal for note-taking, sketching, and everyday use. It performs exactly as described and works seamlessly with compatible apps on the iPad. Battery life has been very good so far, and charging is quick and convenient. The build quality is solid, and it feels well-made for the price. For anyone who wants a reliable stylus without paying the premium price of an Apple Pencil, this is a great option. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. It offers excellent value for money, works perfectly with my iPad Pro, and does everything I need it to. Highly recommended.
Review: Good price. - Really surprised at the quality of the Metapen Pencil. I was dubious because of the low price but it does everything I need. Feels good in the hand, holds its power and charges quickly.

## Features

- 【20H Battery Life, 2X Fast Charge】: iPad Pencil Air 8 fully charges in 45 minutes and lasts up to 20 hours. 2-min charge = 2-hour use. Air 8 offers the longest pencil battery life and fastest charging speed on the market. No battery anxiety. (NOTE: Charges via USB-C cable. NOT wireless charging. NOT magnetic attachment.)
- 【0.1 mm Pixel Precise, Smooth Without Delay】: iPad Stylus Air 8 inherits the upgraded chip from the Metapen family, delivering up to 0.1 mm pixel-level accuracy. No interruptions, no delay. You can enjoy writing small words and drawing fine lines with ease, just like using a real pencil! (NOTE: The iPad stylus does not support pressure or tilt sensitivity.)
- 【Ultra-Light, Palm Rejection】: Equally durable, lighter design. Stylus Pen Air 8 weighs just 10 g—50% lighter than Apple Pencil (2nd Gen), allowing you to focus on writing for hours without hand fatigue. Palm Rejection allows you to rest your hands freely on the screen for uninterrupted creation, delivering a paper-like smooth writing experience
- 【Easy To Use, LED Power Display】: Click the top button once to turn on, long press to turn off. Just grab and write. No Bluetooth connection required. With three-color LED indicator, get peace of mind by knowing the power status. Automatic shutdown after 5 minutes of inactivity for better energy efficiency
- 【More Durable Tips】: Made of high-quality polymer, Metapen tips pass a 20 km durability test—more durable than the original iPencil tips. The polished tip prevents scratching your iPad screen. Each Pencil Air 8 comes with two extra replaceable tips, saving more costs for frequent user
- 【Make Sure Your iPad Model is Compatible】Metapen Pencil Air 8 is compatible with iPad models 2018–2025: iPad 11/10/9/8/7/6 Gen, iPad Pro 13 inch M4, iPad Pro 11 inch 1/2/3/4/M4, iPad Air 3/4/5/M2/M3, iPad Pro 12.9 inch 3/4/5/6 Gen, iPad Mini 5/6 Gen.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good price.
*by K***P on 29 December 2025*

Really surprised at the quality of the Metapen Pencil. I was dubious because of the low price but it does everything I need. Feels good in the hand, holds its power and charges quickly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Proper Everyday Stylus for iPad
*by M***S on 15 November 2025*

After years of wrestling with overpriced Apple Pencils, I picked up the Meta Pen Air 8 Pro for my (2025) iPad Air 13-inch M3, and honestly; it’s a breath of fresh air. Instant Setup, Zero Faff Unlike Apple’s pencils, which love to play the “which generation fits your device?” game, this one just… works. Switch it on, write, switch it off. No Bluetooth pairing, no prompts, no fiddly nonsense - it was ready the moment I unpacked it. That’s how it should be.​ Writing Experience: Blooming Brilliant The standout: the Air-Flex™ fibre tip. It’s whisper-quiet (and I love quiet), with a gentle drag that feels far more like a classic pen or pencil – minus that infuriating tapping noise you get from hard plastic styluses. Even better, it glides smoothly without requiring a screen protector or ‘paper-like’ overlay.​ Palm rejection works properly, so you can rest your hand on the screen while scribbling notes or sketching. Pixel-perfect precision: Writing small text and drawing fine lines is easy, and there’s no skipping, delay, or jagged edges.​ Build Quality & Compatibility It’s extremely light at just 10g – much lighter than Apple’s alternative – and feels spot-on in the hand if not a little light, basically indistinguishable from a “real” pencil. The finish is good, and it fits naturally into existing pen loops (I stick one to the portfolio case for when I'm not using the magic keyboard).​ Compatible with iPad models from 2018 through 2025, including the latest M3 iPad Air (which is what I have now) – even though the Air itself (unlike the Pro) doesn’t have magnets for attachment, that’s on Apple, not the stylus maker.​ Best Bits - Ridiculously quiet, lovely soft tip - Simple tap-on, tap-off operation - Light as a feather, comfortable for long use - Great value for money - Accurate, reliable, genuinely useful Verdict If you’re sick of Apple’s “just buy a new one” attitude, this is the pencil for you. It simply works, feels fantastic, and won’t empty your wallet. Ideal for students, writers, and anyone who wants their stylus to actually behave like a pen. Apple should take notes (no pun intended). Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Saved myself £70 and got exactly what I wanted.
