The SonarPen 2 is the most affordable iPad stylus with pressure sensitivity | Infinium-tech

Perhaps one of the more sensible alternatives to the Apple Pencil stylus for the iPad is the SonarPen and now it’s getting a second generation. The main selling point of the SonarPen 2 is its battery-free design and support for some advanced features at a fraction of the Apple Pencil’s price.

The SonarPen 2 is powered by a cable that you plug into the iPad’s USB-C port, which is a little inconvenient, but it’s a very simple and straightforward solution. This is what makes it affordable and especially useful for classes that use iPads, for example. You don’t need to charge all the styluses or pair them with the iPad.

In addition to pressure sensitivity and palm rejection features, the SonarPen 2 brings tilt sensitivity, a shortcut button, and a new pointed nib design for increased accuracy.

SonarPen 2 can be paired with iPads from 2018 and later, while Ibis Paint Other apps like ZoomNotes, Zen Brush 2 and others still support the pen but some features are missing. Sonarpen is also in talks with other app developers.

Supported Apps

The asking price of the SonarPen 2 is HKD 245, which is less than $32, making it a much cheaper alternative to the Apple Pencil. Pre-orders are now open on Kickstarter.
