Has a nice fine, textured pen tip AND a nice rubber grip. The Adonit Pixel works with iPads all the way back to the 2012, 1st gen iPad Mini and iPad 4th generation! I have been using this stylus for well over 3 years now and it is/was really good on my iPad Pro. Plus it's a quality made, aluminum stylus with two programmable buttons. The Bluetooth connection is stable and its Bluetooth pressure sensing technology is very smooth, natural feeling and has consistent line drawing ability. This smart, Bluetooth stylus works across a wide range of iOS devices. It’s the ONLY third party, smart Bluetooth stylus that I can, honestly, recommend that actually works well with any older iPad that is NOT compatible with any Pencils. I used to use an Adonit Pixel stylus with my olded iPad Pro and I think it works fantastic with all of the compatible apps!
