Pen for iPad 5th gen 2017???

Hi I’m struggling to fine a stylus for iPad 5th gen 2017

i know they weren’t made for palm rejection or something on some of the other old threads I’ve read

people have suggested adonit and zagg etc but when I look them up they don’t say iPad 5th gen! Just on

air or mini etc

any help would be greatly appreciated and possibly a link?

many thanks xx

The iPad5 fundamentally does not support Apple Pencil. This and older models of iPad lack the specific screen hardware with which an Apple Pencil interacts with the iPad. As the iPad5 does not support Apple Pencil, it similarly does not support the alternative Logitech Crayon or Zagg Stylus Pro.


You might consider a basic capacitive stylus, but this offers no more capability than a fingertip.
