Under a thousand: A handy, super affordable Apple Pencil clone

The Apple Pencil is one of the best styluses out there for those who want to sketch and scribble on their iPads. However, like many Apple products, it too comes burdened with a rather hefty price tag. The basic Apple Pencil starts at Rs 7,900, while the Pro variant of the same can set you back by Rs 11,900. While there are alternatives such as Logitech’s very good Crayon, they too are on the expensive side (the new Crayon will set you back by Rs 6,990). But that does not mean that you need to give up your stylus-tic options if you are on a tight budget. There are a number of styluses from lesser-known brands that try to mimic the Apple Pencil and bring many of its features to the iPad at surprisingly affordable prices. One of these is the very elaborately named Case Magic iPad Pencil Active Stylus Pen with Palm Rejection, which is priced at a rather amazing Rs 999, which is why it is being featured in this column.
