If you are looking for a smart Bluetooth stylus with roughly, the same functionality of an Apple Pencil, for your 2017 5th gen iPad,

The Adonit Pixel is the only compatible stylus.

Unfortunately, after almost 18 months of being re-stocked, Adonit is out of stock of these again,

You will need to find a third party, online retailer that may still have some stock of these

If no joy in locating one of these


If you want any type of cheaper, commonplace, capactive stylii, Adonit makes a very wide range a very good quality of these types of stylii for any iPadiPhone.


Simple capcitive stylli have to palm rejection capability or screen presssure sensing capability.

These types of stylii work just like a finger, but have more of a fine point scren touch to them.


Another Adonit stylus product that is non-Bluetooth and NO palm rejection, but are, relatively inexpensive is the Adonit Dash 3 or Dash 4.

Both are fine-tipped stlyii that do not need a Bluetooth connection, but have NO screen pressure sensitivity NOR palm rejection support with old iPad models.

You can use these two stylii with any apps but will not be able to lay your palm on the screen, while you write or draw, unless you use 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 draw in these non-compatible Adonit stylus apps.

Something like these found on Amazon.

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

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 both screen pressure sensing and palm rejection, unless otherwise noted



Compatible Adonit Pixel apps for drawing


Animation Desk

Amaziograph

ArtRage

ArtRage Vitae

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

Forge ( drawing/sketching/concept/ideation app )

Interactive SketchBook

Medibang Paint

Procreate

(Adonit Pixel has been supported as an “unsupported stylus”, for some time now, but all Adonit Pixel stylus features still work as they should in Procreate, palm rejection is, now, hit or miss with the Adonit Pixel (not sure why ), but can be improved using a special, non-body electrical conducting, lycra-based material drawing glove )


Tayasui Sketches/Sketches Pro ( Full support for the Adonit Pixel )

Tayasui Sketches School ( FREE! )

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


Vectornator

Zen Brush 2



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


CollaNote ( palm rejection ONLY! Such palm rejection settings within App. NO pressure sensing for thin to thick/light to dark lines)


GoodNotes

INKredible

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 is pretty much it for Adonit Pixel compatible note-taking apps.


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, while you write or draw, unless you use 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 draw in these non-compatible Adonit stylus apps.
