Stylus for iPad
The stylus, as much as the good Steve Jobs weighed it, are ideal elements to work with tablets like the iPad. They serve to test the creativity of users, but also to save time and perform better tasks in certain cases. The Apple Pencil can take advantage of the good connectivity that gives an own Apple accessory, but there are also other very interesting alternatives that you will see below.
Apple Pencil (1st and 2nd generation)
It is undoubtedly the ideal accessory if it is compatible with your device, since it has millimeter precision and a latency of very few milliseconds that allows the experience to be similar to that of writing on paper, saving distances. It can be used both to navigate the system, and to find additional tools and shortcuts in specialized apps, and you can even distract yourself by drawing or painting with it.
