Which Stylus for iPad Air 2

So I purchased (under the impression given by a Best Buy rep that it was fully compatible) a Wacom Intuos Stylus for my iPad Air 2... They are not compatible and I've been fighting with it for 2 days longer than the allowable refund period.

I need something capable of producing art quality drawings/graphics as well as taking notes in an note taking app... Any thoughts, ideas, etc... would be helpful. Thanks!

iPad Air, iOS 8.1.3, iPad Air 2

The choice of a stylus is as individual as the choice of brushes or fountain pens. Also, in my experience, stylii designed for drawing may not be the best choice for note taking. Just as you can create art with a basic ballpoint pen but most artists want charcoal or pastels, etc. For note taking, no matter how many others I've tried, I keep coming back to the Adonis Jot Pro. This is not a BT stylus, not pressure sensitive but it's a great writing stylus.

Hello E2daG


If bluetooth isn't a big deal for you (because there is no capacitive/bluetooth/electronic stylus compatible with the iPad Air 2 yet) Please save yourself the trouble and go get an Adonit Jot Pro. I tested every available thing today that I could get my hands on and finally decided to get one of those.


This is my first iPad (I have the Air 2) so you can imagine my surprise at trying to get a stylus and seeing so many issues. Come to find out it's because Apple modified their touchscreen capabilities and it causes screen edge issues and wobbling.


So, I went from buying the Wacom Creative Stylus 2 which I would have loved if it would have worked, to the Adonit Jot Pro from Target for 30 bucks. I saved myself about 55 bucks after taxes and I'm a happy camper! You don't get pressure sensitivity, but you're looking for good drawing and note taking anyway.


I hope this helps!
