2B Double Soft Pencil Tips - for Apple Pencil 1st Gen & 2nd Generation iPad Pen Nibs & Crayon Pencil Tip (White)

These nibs are a revelation to me.First of all, there are six. I draw for about 1-2 hours each morning, and about an hour each night. I've been using the same nib for about a month now, and It's not showing signs of wear at all.For starters, these nibs are soft. This makes them almost noiseless. Completely eliminated annoying scrapping and tapping sounds. In addition, the soft rubber makes helps them gain a little more drag and friction on the screen. I use a sketch film on my iPad Pro. Together with the soft rubber, I feel I have greater control, and the drawing experience feels much better than when I was using Apple's proprietary nibs. No more clacking, and no more slipping and sliding. With harder nibs, you need to press down more to get more friction,giving you greater control. If you don't, your tip slides all over the place and it's very difficult to trace outlines, ink comic art, or refine pencil drawings. It's so annoying. - With these, fugghetaboutit! - I'm pressing down much less, and still getting better control than I was before!I love these things, and will probably never go back to using Apple's proprietary nibs. Oh yeah, and there are six of them. Not 4. 6. - So I'm saving money too? - fugghetaboutit! - Get em' while they're hot!

I really like using my apple pencil but dislike the constant clicking and slippery feeling of the standard apple tip against the screen. I've tried different screen mats and things to try to improve the writing experience, but they all have their compromises...These tips are wonderful -- the moment I put one onto my pencil, I could immediately feel the difference. They are way quieter and give you just enough extra tactile sensation. Now, using my pencil has gone from a need to a joy. The tips also work on all pencil generations so I swapped them out for my kids pencils as well and they love them too!

These work. They are not soft, really not that different from the Apple branded tips.

product case came dirty, scratched, and dented, ordered 6 2b, got 3 2b and 3 hb.nibs quality is poor, doesn't feel good to draw with, especially the hb. nibs have weird plastic mold injection pieces sticking off of them.

I used a Glass Matte Screen Protector in combination with 2b nib, it feels so smooth to write on. No slippage like the original nib. I wonder why didn't I find this combination earlier! These two combination is a must for people that takes notes extensively on iPad specially if you are a college student!

I use my iPad Pro 90% of my day both for commercial art and calligraphy and personal entertainment. I have a fairly heavy hand. I never liked paperlike protectors, too rough, too much resistance and distorts colors too much. Found a matte glass protector that isn’t perfect but better. Other nib were noisy and scratchy. This tip gives me just the right resistance, is quiet and comes with enough replacements that if I go through one a month it’s fine. It is pressure sensitive to for thick and thin strokes with calligraphy pens and shading with textures or side of pencils works fine. In do see a gap between the Apple Pencil and the tip but not concerning. I prefer the black as I have a black 134HB skin on my pencil. So cute.

These tips have a very non-uniform glide over a glass surface - sometimes grippy, sometimes slippy, always unpredictable. I don't write enough, you say? Well, I do technical sketching and page after page of hand calculations. I used about 1300-1500 pages of paper a year before switching to Concepts on the iPad using the Apple Pencil and a Paperlike screen protector. The feel of that combo is good; close enough to pencil on paper to be very efficient, but the screen protector makes the screen dull and uneven - especially under oblique light. I thought these would provide similar feel, but the result is nowhere near the uniform drag you get from Paperlike. I will throw away the rest of the pack and try something else.

somewhat too sticky on a new iPadPro; a bit too slippery on an older model iPadMini
