Granted: Great design has me encouraged too many superfluous purchase. And the Pencil is an awesome nice piece of technology. Made from a solid piece of brushed aluminum anthracite, the Pencil is great in the hand. Since all equipment is hidden inside, he looks like an old retro moderately thick crayon - just beautifully done.
But design is not everything. I handed over the pen of my daughter for testing. The app has the paper on your iPad, for the Pencil is designed. The very next day they gave me the Pencil with thanks but the judgment of "useless technique scrap" back. The pen tip is too big and too imprecise to be properly used. Permanent function dropouts nerves and the eraser on top of the Edit blurs rather than deleting. In addition, the rubber nubs now about 5 hours of operation to solve the pen tip for on already.
As you said, what the finely designed part costs so, my daughter just said that he was not worth the money. Your cheap stylus from Wacom would cost only 9 euro and was better. Language Script and disappeared back to the computer.
I then tried the Pencil on my Android tablet as a stylus for writing text. Well, I had to agree with my daughter. My cheap stylus from Amazon works better, because the top of the Edit much is too flexible and therefore generates incorrect entries on the tablet. It corrected more than you work. And the durability of Rubber Stud on pin end is actually low. So it is also the enclosed Ersatznoppe have worn out quickly and then ??
What has annoyed me is the instructions: So devoid of content you have the rare, as is virtually nothing in it. But perhaps just as well, because if you in the product description on Amazon phrases such as "Advanced technology meets beautiful design you keep in the flow without changing tools" is also likely a correct guide might not have been helpful. It may be that my daughter and I might have some features not well understood, but if you do not get reasonably explained how something works, then that's just too poor.
And so the Pencil will probably end up as beautifully designed paperweight, but he is then definitely too expensive.
