Year:	2024

The Pro Stylus 2 from ZAGG is more than a simple stylus. And it comes in a variety of colors to fit your mood or for each person to have his/her own stylus when using the same tablet. It might not seem like a big deal, but the different colors add a little fun to your work or play. 

What’s impressive about the Pro Stylus 2 is that its power can be turned on or off with just a click. Also, the USB-C charging cable comes attached to a little cradle to hold the stylus in place while wireless charging the device. Charging it is easy and an LED light will turn on on the cradle during charging. It will turn itself off automatically after approximately 15 minutes.

The Pro Stylus 2 also comes with an additional color coordinated replacement tip.

The units are also magnetic so they will attach easily to your tablet or other device, and yes, the magnet is strong enough to hold it in place while carrying your iPad (specifically the iPad Pro 11 and 12.9) around. Take note: this is not comparable with the iPad Pro M4.

It’s also nice to have a spare stylus for those times when, (confession) you might misplace your stylus or drop it in between the seats in a car. Yes, I really did that. Luckily I had a spare and also was able to retrieve my original. 

The colors are fun and the yellow actually looks like a Number 2 pencil. As a matter of fact, it says No 2 on it to recreate look of the actual pencils we all used in school. The tip is black whereas the tips on all the other colors match the color of the stylus.

There’s not much to say about this stylus other than it serves two purposes: the rubber end and the tip end each do their jobs. These days it’s often necessary to sign a document. Sure, there’s docusign, but first you need to scribble your signature. With the tip it looks more like an actual signature than with the rubber side, however both do the job. 

If you have a tablet that lets you draw, the stylus will recognize when it is tilted to create thicker or thinner lines. To turn it on simply press down on the rubber end and you’ll hear a click.

It might not seem like an important piece of equipment, but when you are without your stylus once you are used to using it, you instantly feel like you’re back in the stone age. Maybe not that far back, but remember when we had to use our finger to write or move pieces and letters around on our favorite game? Take it from me, this little gadget really makes a difference.

Any device that supports the Apple Pencil will support the Pro Stylus 2. (Not the M4)
