Which Apple Keyboard & pencil (3rd party )will be good for Ipad Air M2?

Hello,
Bought myself ipad air m2 11inch

Now will need a pencil and keyboard for it but looking for a cheap alternative also if it is available from 3rd party and experience is good with too.

I can look at the apple one also if it is available for decent and resaoible price but I know 3rd party nowadays are also good and much cheaper.
please suggest.

It’s been a long time since I last tried an Apple Pencil.

I remember that third party styluses didn’t support pressure sensitivity like the Apple Pencil does. Is that still true?

I don’t know which ones are compatible and which ones are not.

They have many pencils now.

They make their devices hardly compitable to older or newer ones.

Each generation comes with own pencil or maximum 2 generation.

Makes a bad purchase tbh for long time.
Ofcourse the quality is very good.

so mostly leaning towards 3rd party .

depends on what will you use the pencil for if you need it for professional drawing go for apple official one, if you only wanna use the pencil for notes ,scribble etc than go for an off brand one they are very good for basic stuff ,i personally bought a portronics pencil for 700~ rs works great for me.

@solo_wing I use the Glide and the Logitech pencil. And I love the feel of the Logitech one. It is built well and in my opinion feels better than the original Apple Pencil (but that’s opinion).

It is also more robust, and I don’t have to worry about a few falls like I have to with the Apple Pencil.

This is the exact one I have. Like always, I buy two of whatever I really like. I must have one somewhere, unused and waiting to be used.

This is insanely good. I mean no sarcasm.

Edit: @solo_wing

This is a comparison. The glide definitely works with the M2 iPad, but after getting used to the Logitech one, I simply cannot go back. While I try not to use logi on principle, this is an exception.

Actually you are right.

this is my best.

Btw thanks…that Logitech one seems good but I am leaning more towards @dhruv_sharan as it’s really cheap and if it is enough for writing notes than good enough for me.

As someone who has been using tablets exclusively for writing, I would really, really disagree. The most important parts of the writing experience are the pen and the surface. The surface can be adjusted (matte screens, paper-like protectors, plain glass, change the pen tips, etc), depending on the preference.

The feel of the writing instrument is something that makes a lot of physical difference.

These are some of the pens I use depending on what and where I am writing. I use all three OSes fairly frequently to write on. I have two surface devices, two iPad (Air and Pro), and three Samsung tablets that I regularly use. And the pen makes all the difference.

That said, if it is occasional notes, anything will do. But once you get a good pen, you will beging to wonder why you suffered for so long in the first place.

For me, the best pens are for the Samsung - the Wacom One (extreme right), and for Surface (the Surface Pen - better than the flex one), and for Apple - the logitech Crayon.

Tum extra kharcha karwa hi doge bhai
( You are tempting me to spent more bro)

Just kidding. I appreciate all this info.
That is the reason I asked here.

Thanks I will try to look for that Logitech one now.

I think In long run it might be a better idea actually.

Because initially I thought about buying ipad M5 pro one the end of the year through my relative abroad . Which i discussed with you on PM.

But now after more research on net …
I see keeping ipad air m2 for long term and buy Mac mini M5 this year.
Gives me best of the both worlds.

This is one of the better ones out there. Have tried multiple companies over the years including apple ones. Amazon.in

Akele kyun pachtaaun? Misery needs company.

But jokes apart, take a look if someone has these. They make a world of difference. But yes, for starters, you can get the Glide!
