Considerations / Things to Check
- Make sure your iPad model is compatible. According to manufacturer FAQ: “FIXED Graphite is compatible with iPads **from 2018** onward; it is **not** compatible with earlier iPads.” :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
- It does **not** offer full Apple Pencil feature set (such as true pressure sensitivity or double‑tap tool switch) — if you need full functionality, consider a higher‑end stylus.
- If you use a thick screen protector or unusual case, check if the stylus tip still interacts well with the screen — while compatibility claims include many iPads, actual experience may vary. Some user feedback notes: “occasionally doesn’t respond when first touching the screen.” :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}
