Stylus for 5th gen iPad with palm rejection

The Adonit Pixel will work and HAS PALM REJECTION WITH APPS THAT SUPPORT PALM REJECTION!

I have used this stylus for nearly 3 years now on my own iPad.

To get the latest firmware for the Pixel stylus from Adonit, you must purchase the Pixel from the Adonit Website.

The Adonit Pixel supports palm rejection with compatible apps ONLY!

Here’s my “up to date”, comprehensive, but still incomplete, list of Adonit Pixel compatible apps for the iPad/iPad Pro.

Most apps listed support pressure sensing and palm rejection.

Compatible Adonit Pixel apps for drawing

Animation Desk

Amaziograph

Adobe Photoshop Sketch ( palm rejection ONLY, No pressure, no sensing/line variations )

ArtRage

Art Studio Pro ( fully supports the Adonit Pixel and is just as great as Procreate on the iPad )

AutoDesk SketchBook

Colored Pencil

Comic Draw

Concepts

Interactive SketchBook

Inkist

Medibang Paint

ProCreate (Adonit is supported as an unsupported stylus, but all stylus features still work, palm rejection IS improved using special, non-electrical conducting, lycra-based material drawing glove )

Tayasui Sketches/Sketches Pro ( the new, free Tayasui Sketches School version works with this stylus, but without any palm rejection or pressure sensing, so you need to use a special, non-electrical conducting drawing glove with the Sketches School version to lay your hand/palm down on the iPad’s screen )

ZenBrush/Zen Brush 2

Compatible Adonit Pixel apps for Notes and Notes with drawing types of apps.

GoodNotes 4 or 5

Notability ( palm rejection noticeably improved using special, non-electrical conducting, lycra-based material drawing glove )

Note Shelf 2

Notes Plus ( latest version has, temporarily, removed all third party, smart Bluetooth stylus support )

Notes Writer ( palm rejection better using special, non-electrical conducting, lycra-based material drawing glove )

QuickNotes X Pro ( palm rejection ONLY. No pressure sensing for light/dark or thin/thick lines )

uPad

Zoom Notes

PDF Pen

This stylus works with other non-compatible apps, too, but without any palm rejection and/or pressure features.

You can use this stylus with other apps but will not be able to lay your palm on the screen, unless you use special, non-electrical conducting, lycra-based material drawing glove that works by isolating your hand/palm and allow you to lay your hand/palm on the screen as you draw in these non-compatible Adonit stylus apps.

Something like this found on Amazon.

Many more makers of these types of gloves on Amazon.

If interested, to make sure you get the latest installed stylus firmware, you must order the Adonit Pixel stylus directly from the Adonit website.

Good Luck to You!

Just removed the note image for security/personal info purposes.

Hope you got my example.

Most notes apps will not always support pressure curves for variable line widths when doing just note writing and drawing things in a notes apps as most note writing demands a somewhat consistent line width.

Most notes apps will have pre-programmed line widths and only use palm rejection for being able to lay your hand on an iPad’s screen.

The variable pressure curves for drawing lines and fancy writing and making or drawing custom fonts is really the domain of sketching/drawing and painting apps ONLY and NOT really something most note style apps do.

You can check out Good Notes 4 or 5, , NoteShelf 2,

Zoom Notes ( lots of features and somewhat complicated to use, but a great notes and drawing app, nevertheless ),

QuickNotes X Pro is barebones notes and sketching app and supports palm rejection ONLY with the Pixel , NO pressure sensing/curves for variable line width while writing or drawing.

uPad ( again built-in palm rejection area NO pressure sensing curves for variable line widths when writing or drawing )

There are video tutorials online, especially on YouTube, for notes apps, like Notability, Good Notes, Zoom Notes NoteShelf, to help you with using all the various and popular notes apps.

I will leave a YouTube video link to a YouTube channel called The Paperless Student.

The videos presented here are all well done, thorough and done from a a practical, everyday use perspective.

Of the apps I listed that are Adonit Pixel compatible, you may want to watch the YouTube videos for these apps, first, to get a good overview of what these apps do, before purchasing and trying out another new notes app.

You should not br having any issues with Notability, though, other than palm rejection issues from time to time.

The drawing/writing glove will practically eliminate all of the palm rejection problems.

Best of Luck to You!

I use Notability just fine with my 2015 iPad Pro and the Adonit Pixel.

You need to pick the the proper pen thickness first by tapping the pen and marker tools twice to bring up thr pen and marker settings and as I stated in my reply to you, palm rejection in Notability is really improved by using a non-body electrical conducting drawing/writing glove that a gave an example link of above.

Here is a test note that I add to A LOT when I check Adonit Pixel compatibility with different iOS versions with Notability update versions.

I just do initial stylus/iOS/Notability test in this one note everytime before I start using a new Notability version on a new iOS version.

These use all different pen and marker ( highlighter ) settings

Does your handwriting look anything like this?

Hello,

For the best palm rejection you would want to use an Apple Pencil. Unfortunately iPad (5th generation) was never designed to use a stylus with palm rejection.
