palm rejection not working on 1st gen ipad pro

The last couple months I have been through at least 3 apple pens (two of them broke) and 3 third party pens. All have had issues with palm rejection. Is there any way to fix this? I currently have the apple pen as this is the best pen to use. I have ipad pro 1st gen 11in. And I use noteability.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Your only other option to combat this issue is to use a special, non-body 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 write or draw.

I resorted to using these some years, ago, to combat the intermittent palm rejection issues I have always had with my iPad Pro and with some Pencil and and third party stylus supported apps.


Something like these found on Amazon.

I use the TimeBetter glove as it has more padding in it to better isolate the side and lower palm of your hand.


Many more makers of these types of gloves found on Amazon and in different hand sizes, as well!



Best of Luck to You!

What info?

Info posted at the Amazon site.

This is a muitipurpose digital drawing tablet glove for writing and drawing on tablets and graphics drawing tablet devices for full computers.

It is a thicker made drawing glove to better isolate the electrical impulses that come from the human body's own electrical impulses and electrical impulses through the skin.

The Lycra-based material makes your hand glide much smoother across a glass surface and, also, has some properties that isolate human body electrical impulse signals.

So, these drawing/writing glove work better for a more consistent palm rejection experience when using any type of stylus.


The thicker, heavier Lyra material drawing glove, the better!

The TimeBetter glove is actually a padded Lycra material based glove which isolates the palm and side of your hand even more from the screen as it, effectively, raises your palm and side of your hand slightly off the iPad's glass screen.


These work great!

I purchased 4 sets of two of these, 3-4 years, ago, as I tend to misplace them from time to time.

Haven't completely lost any of these yet, but had two missing for quite awhile.
