I want to buy a stylus pen with a button on it for my iPad mini 2

THE ONLY one I can honestly recommend as actually working well with any iPad,

The Adonit Pixel.

Now back in stock from the Adonit Website.

https://www.adonit.net/jot/pixel/

The Adonit Pixel works with iPads all the way back to the 2012, 1st gen iPad Mini and iPad 4th generation!

Has ON/OFF/app shortcut buttons.

Has a nice fine, textured pen tip AND a nice rubber grip.

Magnetically charges, has an auto 15 minute shutdown feature ( to preserve battery life ), charges in a hour, or so.

Has both a small USB charger that that plugs into any USB charging block OR you can purchase an optional charging dock.

Battery lasts for anywhere between 9-12 hours, but Adonit claims up to 16 hours of continuous use on a single charge cycle.

Made of very high quality aluminum materials.

The Adonit Pixel ONLY works with over a dozen of the major/popular drawing/sketching/painting apps (the Pixel works with, but currently no longer “officially” supported with Procreate, but it still works and works pretty well in Procreate ), and over a half dozen of the popular note taking apps, a half dozen writing apps and about a half dozen PDF style/compatible apps.

You WILL have to perform some pairing and setup parameters in each of the Adonit Pixel compatible apps.

You just DO NOT simply turn on Bluetooth on an iDevice and turn on the Adonit stylus and start writing.

The Adonit Pixel stylus is NOT an Apple Pencil in this regard/respect.

You have to initially Bluetooth pair the Adonit Pixel, setup the hand/palm position and in many apps, set up the stylus screen pressure sensitivity for each and every compatible app!

Once you have, initially, done all of this, all Adonit Pixel compatible apps will remember these settings for future use!

No or NOT well.

Since you seem easily confused, I will not bother giving an explanation as to why most stylii on Amazon will not work well, if at all, with Apple iOS devices.

The type of stylus you posted will just NOT work or work very well, if at all!

Look at the reviews of that stylus you posted. The review are mostly bad

Most of the active stylii on Amazon are bad and I do not recommend any of them.

With some small exceptions, most of these Active, battery powered stylii from other makers selling through Amazon are total garbage!

These types of stylii being offered on Amazon offer NO palm rejection or screen pressure sensitivity and generally work poorly and very inaccurately.

What are you planning to use a stylus for?

I gave you THE ONLY AND BEST stylii to use with that nearly 7-year old iPad.

If you want an stylus experience similar to the Apple Pencil, with palm rejection and screen pressure sensitivity for light to dark/thin to thick lines, but a little cheaper than an Apple Pencil, please purchase the Adonit Pixel stylus from Adonit.

The iPad mini2 doesn’t have the necessary screen hardware to support Apple Pencil - therefore the only alternatives are third-party proprietary Stylus solutions. Recent iPad models have much greater flexibility and available options.

One major third-party manufacturer of styli for iPad is Adonit - with Its Pixel range. If using a “modern” iPad with support for Apple Pencil, you also have the Logitech Crayon as an alternative.

Proprietary “active” styli do not provide universal input capability - but instead can only generally be used with Apps that are specifically designed to provide support for the specific device. As such, you’ll need to research both the Apps and Stylus that you intend to use with your iPad.

A regular contributor here, MichelPM, will doubtless be along some time today to impart his extensive knowledge in this arena. In the meantime, pending his anticipated contribution, do a little research into exactly which Apps you intend to use - and look at compatibility of any styli that you’ve already shortlisted.

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

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 ( Full support for the Adonit Pixel )

Tayasui Sketches School

( this new, free 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 )

Vectornator

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 Writer ( palm rejection improved 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 sensitivity 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.

https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Anti-fouling-Drawing-Tablet-Graphic-Right-Ha nd-Left-Hand/dp/B017R8M2JY/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1543548123&sr=8-1- spons&k eywords=lycra+drawing+gloves&psc=1

Many more makers of these types of gloves found on Amazon and in different hand sizes and colors.

If interested, to make sure you get the latest installed stylus firmware, you mustorder the Adonit Pixel stylus directly from the Adonit website, when possible and available.

Good Luck to You!

Yiup,

That is the one.

Good price too!

Adonit's versions/models of “active”, battery powered capacitive stylii all work well enough with many iPad models.

There are more reliable, well built and work more accurately.

However, if you are expecting this to work like an Apple Pencil, then this still not the best alternative.

Once again, you do not get any palm rejection or screen pressure sensitivity with a battery powered, “active” capacitive type stylii.

Capacitive and “Active” capacitive stylii just work similarly to using your finger.

Your finger does not have any technology in it for palm rejection or screen pressure sensitivity.

If you want to purchase and use this Adonit Dash 3, I would purchase that special non-body electrical conducting drawing glove I wrote about in my previous post reply to you to allow you to be able to, at least, lay your hand down on the iPad’s screen as you draw or write.

Once again, I ask, what are you planning to use a stylus for?

If for sketching/drawing/painting and even for writing/note taking the Adonit Pixel stylus is best for this task.

If you need a stylus just for writing and note taking ONLY and ONLY occasional sketching/drawing, then, you maybe able to get by with the Adonit Dash 3 stylus

Here is the Adonit Dash 3 stylus description page from Adonit.

Good Luck to You!

Then you might be better off just getting a cheaper, simpler, capacitive stylus with a clear disc tip, like this from Adonit.

You can,,usually, find this exact Adonit stylus a little cheaper on Amazon from other sellers

https://www.amazon.com/Adonit-Generation-Precision-Stylus-Samsung/dp/B07PHDNN6J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=W9EP7MKFTH30&keywords=adonit+pro+4+stylus&qid=1583154457&sprefix=Adonit+Pro+4%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-1

You do not need a more expensive stylus for using with colouring apps.

I would still get the drawing glove if you still want to be able to lay your palm down on the iPad's screen while colouring images .
