Questions in the Margin
The questions we get most, answered in one place. If yours is not here, leave us a note and we will answer it personally.
No. Our disc tip styluses are passive capacitive pens: there is no battery, no pairing and no app. Take off the cap and write.
Yes, if your finger works on the screen, the disc stylus will too. That covers iPhone, Android phones, iPad, Galaxy Tab, Fire tablets and Chromebooks.
iPads from 2018 on: iPad 6th to 10th gen, iPad Air 3/4/5, iPad mini 5/6 and iPad Pro 11″ and 12.9″ including M-series models.
No. It supports palm rejection and tilt shading, but line weight does not change with pressure. For most notes and sketches, tilt gives you plenty of control.
Unscrew the back end of the magnet-cap stylus and the spare disc slides out of the barrel. The rotate-360 stylus ships with its spare in the box.
Yes. Our pencil tips fit Apple Pencil 1st and 2nd generation and pens that use the same nib, including our palm rejection pencil.
Our discs are silicone and our pencil nibs are smooth plastic, both chosen to be screen-safe. Replace a tip once it wears down to the core.
Usually the disc is dirty or worn. Wipe it with a soft cloth, check that it sits flat, and swap it for a fresh one if it is cloudy or bent.
