ESR Geo Digital Pencil:

#esrgeodigitalpencil #backtoschool

The Apple Pencil Pro costs $129. The ESR Geo Digital Pencil costs just $32.99.

So I replaced my Apple Pencil Pro with the ESR Pencil and actually used it for photo editing, writing, drawing and everyday iPad stuff to see what you really lose by spending almost $100 less.

We’re testing screen feel, palm rejection, tilt sensitivity, Find My, magnetic storage, battery life, shortcuts and the features where Apple Pencil Pro still pulls ahead.
