How does the Logitech Crayon compare with the Apple Pencil Pro 2? It charges via USB-C, or Lighting and it has a magical thing the Apple Pencil does not have and on/off switch. It costs $69 bucks.

Anyone? I have the same question. Finally I bought apple pencil USB C due to it has better quality (possibly) and experienced (design, low latency and magnetic).

I own and use the OG Crayon. And really like it. Since I do a ton of Construction job walks, the profile / hand feel being so similar to a wood construction pencil is also nice (for me). Since I use it wearing gloves a lot, it is FAR easier to hold with chunky winter gloves!

It does not have pressure sensitivity but it is more compatible with a wider range of iPads than Apple's own. Since I don't do painting / artwork with mine, this was not an issue for me.

I was a bit miffed when my 2nd Generation Apple Pencil didn't work with my M4 iPad Pro. I tried to use my Logitech Crayon with it, and was happily surprised that it worked perfectly. I can use this single device between my iPad mini 6, 1st Gen 11" iPad Pro, as well as my M4 iPad Pro.

Thank you, I have been looking at the Crayon. I don't use the Apple Pencil much, but it is limited to recharging on M4 iPad. I don't carry it around, and with no off switch, it is always run down. I have a Zugu case coming, which does have good storage for the Pencil.
