Aside from USB-C (obviously), are the pencils the same thing? I heard somewhere that the new USB-C version doesn't support pressure sensitivity and all that. I have an iPad 10 so sadly I can't get the Pencil 2

Just picked up an iPad 10th generation and the USB-C pencil, I soon realised there is no pressure sensitivity, I was wondering what the differences between the 1st Gen and USB-C are and would I be dropping much performance going to an older model for just the pressure sensitivity? Are they the same thing other than that?

TLDR: Are there any other pencils that have pressure sensitivity and are compatible with the 10th Gen iPad? What are the differences if I bought the other pencil?

I'm gonna (probably) be getting the Ipad 10th generation, but the one thing that bothers me so much is the apple pencil. Like. What do you mean I need a whole cable to use it??? Like I'm not paying 130+€ for that- So ive been thinking, should i get the 1st gen or the usb c one? Im an artist, but mostly traditional, so the pressure sensivity doesnt matter that much to me since I'll only sometimes draw, and my parents can't afford too expensive stuff, so my go to for now is usbc rn. Wich one should I get? People say the usbc one is "bad" or "useless" and it's making me feel nervous since I can't afford to get a better ipad with the 2nd gen compatibility :(

I have iPad 10th Gen. I've tried to gather what I can from search here on this subreddit and online on Apple's site. Seems that the USB-C version is lacking the pressure sensitivity feature, so is the 1st Gen better to get for drawing purposes?

Saw this chart noting how USB-C lack pressure sensitivity:

If it is 1st Gen to go with for drawing, guess I need a dongle to pair the lightening end of the 1st Gen pencil over to the USB-C end of the dongle that connects to the 10th gen iPad, is that right?

Sites for dongle purchase are appreciated.

Also, for charging, seems obvious, but can I used the out of the box lightening-lightening connector to just charge Pencil 1st Gen via lightening cable? (seems a second option is to use the lightening/usb-c dongle to charge the 1st Gen pencil with iPad 10th Gen)

I just got an iPad 10th generation to learn ProCreate and am trying to figure out which pencil I should get. It looks like my options are the 1st gen pencil or the USB-C pencil. I really like that the USB-C pencil has a magnetic side to attach to the iPad, but it doesn’t have pressure sensitivity which I would imagine is an important feature for digital drawing. How important is pressure sensitivity? Is the 1st gen pencil the way to go? Any info would be helpful!

I currently have the iPad 10th generation , and the Apple Pencil 1st generation (I upgraded from the 7th gen earlier this year).

Is getting the USB-c Apple Pencil worth it at all? Or should I just stick to the 1st gen?

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I just bought an ipad 10th and planning to buy apple pencil to start digital drawing. I see 1st gen and usb c are compatible with ipad 10th. Can you help me decide what should I buy based on your experience?

Hi guys! So I have an iPad Pro 10.5 (it's an older iPad with a lightening port). I really want to get the Apple Pencil USB-C, but on the Apple website it only says that the 1st gen is compatible with my iPad. I was wondering if I get the USB-C pencil, am I able to connect to my iPad with a cord? Like if one end is USB-C and the other end is lightening am I able to connect the USB-C Apple Pencil to my iPad Pro 10.5? I just personally like a look and price better of the USB-C vs the first gen, but I don't wanna buy one that won't work. Lmkkk thanks!!

I just got an iPad a16 and then got the c-usb pencil for drawing and notetaking but I just realized that it doesn't support pressure sensitivity. I like the magnet but I think in the long run that I will probably wish I had just gotten the 1st gen, I wanted to ask Reddit and other iPad users their opinion. Thanks!

I'm buying an Ipad 10th generation pretty soon for note taking. Buying an Apple Pencil USB C or a first generation apple pencil + the converting adapter would be the same price, should I get the first generation alongside the adapter for the pressure sensitivity benefits or should I just stick with getting the USB C version? and what would the benefits to getting the USB C version be? my iphone has a lightning port so I can charge the first generation with just my phone too, im more leanient toward the first generation alongside a simple adapter because 0 cost difference and why miss out on the pressure sensitivity I was just wondering if there's any benefits to the USB C pencil aside from the faster charging which I doubt will be that worth it for me

I’ve recently gotten the IPad 10th gen a couple weeks ago, and I’m wanting to get an Apple Pencil but I’m not sure which of these would be better?

I’ve seen that the usbc lacks the pressure sensitivity but I’m not sure if I need it.. I think maybe I’d want to do drawing and note taking on the iPad but also use the pencil for games.

ipad 10th gen is compatible with apple pencil usb c and1st gen. i dont know which to choose. a lil bit of background- i'm only going to use it for studying purposes like note taking only. i don't use it for gaming. how are those 2 different?

I don’t know the difference 😅 please help me choose. What are the pros and cons of each?

USB-C costs around 82usd (when converted here in my country) while 2nd Gen is around 148usd. I don't see myself ever doing arts. Gonna use this more on note taking and playing casual games. I also heard that regardless, you can't use them while charging so in terms of hassles, it's just that there's an extra step of plugging to charge.

Should I get USB-C instead or there's more benefits of getting 2nd gen aside from wireless charging and art related stuff? Or should I just get a non-apple pencil?

Should I return the pencil? And is the A16 good for studying?
