Pencil by FiftyThree replacement tip and eraser(53T003)

The sad fact with many Styluses is the tips wear out and until I can upgrade to an iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil, the 53 Pencil is the only stylus I have had success with on the iPad Air 2. These tips are very high quality and withstand months of use for notes and drawing.

I was given the pencil caps as a gift but the pencil comes with a spare and the product is so good, I am still using the original one on my pencil after daily use. I do have the soft leather case for the pencil, which I am sure has helped keep the pencil and it's parts in good shape, regardless of the products great quality.I use the pencil daily for work mistly documents and such and also recreationally for art designs.

I bought the Pencil used/refurbished. I had read that the tips wear really fast and about the difficulty that worn tips bring about. After some use, I was pretty sure the tips sent with my a Pencil were worn before I got it. The price finally came down for replacement tips and I ordered them. I installed one of the new tips and it’s like using a really great writing pen! I would give these a 5 but the fact they will wear out fast and the large swing in prices to get the replacements stop me short of doing that.

I love it when the tips are fresh but as I am an artist and use it frequently and require a sensitive stylus. The design of the tips do not match the quality responsiveness that you receive up front nor the $50 price tag.If the design of the tips doesn't improve or the price of replacing them doesn't go down significantly, I'll be going back to the friendly Swede. It is not quite as responsive but the expense and durability in relation to the price puts the 53 to shame.I'd give it 5 stars up front but only for the first day of use. Come On folks at 53 work on this issue. We all shucked some precious cash for the hype and up front utility... please listen to your users. I'd gladly up my review from 3 to 5 if the durability or price of replacement tips decreased significantly. Otherwise I'm taking my business back to the Swede.

The tips work fine! I was surprised that I had to replace them so quickly after I bought the "pencil", until I realized that a child had applied extreme pressure to the original tip causing it to wear through. If one is gentle in using these pencils, I think the tips will last a reasonably long time. I do wish they were thicker rubber, though, so they would be more durable.

one of the tips was defective. and by the time it was time for me to change the tip, the return window had already closed :(it made this clicking, sticking noise every time i pressed down and the tip would would kind of drag my line in an unintended way. the other one was fine, though. it responded the way i expected. so i'm not sure who to be bothered by, amazon or fiftythree. maybe fiftythree, 'cause this just sorta seems like a quality issue. but i kinda stinks that i JUST missed the return window...

For some reason the rubber tips on my 53 Pencil get sticky and start tearing. I keep my screen clean so I don't think it's from dirt or gunk. I've had to replace three in the last year. Maybe that's a full MTBF expectancy. With all the use its not unexpected to fail over time. These are nice and connect to my iPad and iPhone 7s. Keep them on hand.

I just recently bought the paper 53 stylus, and apparently was a little too rough on my first point, so I bought a couple extra just in case this is a great deal, they work great, and they are great to have on standby.
