This cheaper Apple Pencil alternative now has tilt detection and a better tip


For artists who don’t mind being tethered.

Its creators are back with an upgraded USB-C version that introduces additional functionality, including tilt detection and an improved tip that now closely resembles the Apple Pencil’s. The SonarPen 2 still supports features like palm rejection, pressure sensitivity, and a customizable shortcut button while adding tilt detection and a tip similar to the Apple Pencil’s that can be replaced as it wears down. For apps that haven’t explicitly added SonarPen 2 support, the stylus will function like the original Apple Pencil but without pressure sensitivity.
