Ink & Slide Creative Cloud Connected Precision Stylus for iPad

I tested 4 different Styli for the Ipad Air, the Adobe Ink, the FiftyThree Digital Stylus Pencil for iPad, iPad Pro, and iPhone - Graphite, Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus for iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad 3/4 and iPad mini and Wacom Bamboo Stylus fineline for iPad 3/4, iPad Air and iPad mini - Gray (CS600CK).I'm returning the others and keeping the Adobe Ink because it has the most precise pressure sensitivity of them all and overall great feel. The Wacom Intuos has issues with fine lines, the Bamboo works similarly but has less accurate pressure sensitivity and worse feel and the FiftyThree only has "tilt" pressure sensitivity which is useless for accurate work behaving more like a paint brush.Another huge plus is the free Adobe Sketch app which works wonderfully with the Ink, possibly superior to Sketches 2 which it is fully compatible with. The only caveat I've found is that it's a bitter harder to use as a remote computer mouse than soft tipped styli. Great value for ~$50.

I took a chance on this product since I had a brand new iPad mini 4. All the reports about this devices's inaccuracy and lag are true! There was usually a half-second delay before it would start drawing and follow the pen. Precise work with this was impossible. Also, the drawing point placement was off and the line on the screen began and ended a few millimeters off from the physical tip.I was not using a screen protector and it was a brand new iPad Mini 4 running the latest IOS. It never had Sketch installed so it was also the latest. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Sketch, rebooted the iPad, and removed and added the Ink&Slide. In fact the Adobe Ink and Slide was showing all of the reported issues in Adobe Ink and Draw.I contacted Adobe and they referred me to Adonit as other reviewers mentioned. I emailed [email protected] and received no response. My finger was more accurate than this and it was supremely frustrating to use.UPDATE: Adonis finally replied and offered me to "upgrade your stylus to a newer version since ink & slide is one of our old stylus". They wanted me to ship it back, but I had since returned this to Amazon and got an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil instead. Using the Apple Pencil works flawlessly, and I should have bought the Apple Pro/Pencil setup in the first place! It works beautifully, and I can use it precisely in all of the drawing apps as well as take notes with it on GoodNotes, etc.

This is a great stylus! DO not let the bad reviews scare you off! This is the most comfortable and lightest stylus that I have ever used. I am extremely impressed by its design and quality. Lets first look at the design. This is a stylus that has interesting design. The stylus has curved design that is stylish but does not compromise the comfort of functionality. And By that I mean that it still works even though it has a great design. I will not roll off your desk and the curve actual makes it easer to hold and does not cause hand fatigue. The colour is also great and blends with all the other apple products,Therefore It is a great design. Now lets look at the apps that it works with. The apps that this stylus works with are pretty limited but that does not make the stylus bad. It works with adobe drawing apps and the creative cloud so that is syncs with all of your devices. The stylus also works with pen ultimate so you can write with it. Also keep in mind, even though that this will work with other apps like paper by 53 and good notes, and yes they do not pair with the app will still let you draw in them. The stylus will also work with navigation so that you can have more accuracy than using your finger. Now lets get on with slide. The slide probably feels bad from bad mouthing to being made fun of. So I am here to make slide feel better. Slide is a digital ruler that is actually pretty handy I love using it. Yes there is not much to say about a digital ruler but do judge the stylus because of the ruler. So the bottom line if you want a good stylus for writing or drawing you should look no further because you have found one of the best stylist and this is one of my favorite stylus and it is a joy to use. So please do not let the bad reviews scare you off because the people who wrote the reviews did not like the ruler or did not like being limited to certain apps. Thank you for reading my review.
