Almost magical

It is impossible to talk about without mentioning Pencil stylus for iPad The application Paper (3 and up) for which it was designed, since they are both the products of the small company "FiftyThree". Of course, the pen still be used with any other app on iPad, but apart from a few apps that have implemented the development kit "Pencil" (as Noteshelf, Procreate, Squiggle and others soon to come), it Sagira only to draw a line of a point to point or type. This is primarily Paper allows the tilt potential functions (coming with iOS dici 8 days) or by returning the pen eraser. Paper is an extremely simple application to use, largely for making sketches or throwing notes. Here, no layers, no possibility the size or resolution of its working area, and only 5 tools (four of which are paid in purchase "in-app", but become active when Pencil connected) are available, more a gum and a color mixer. It sometimes feels the limits of simplicity, such as not being able to move items on the page, or when you have so loved to enlarge a little the work area

But this is the choice made by 53, and in return, the management The application of hand is almost instantaneous. Jai also SketchBook Pro in my palette of tools graphic, which presents far more technical possibilities, but javoue I much prefer mamuser with Paper: If i need a complex, computer with Photoshop and a Wacom graphics tablet remain for now (it nengage only my opinion) the best solution.

To return to Pencil stylus, its packaging is quite charming and clever, but the paper tube is not very easy to close if you want to store the pen. Ferrules (a tip and eraser) replacement are included, along quun small manual in size rather difficult to handle. But this is not important as long the tool is instinctive. Just press three seconds on the tip icon in the tool palette dedicated and Pencil becomes active. The rectangular shape very similar to that of carpenter pencils, length and weight are just perfect in my opinion, the stylus is handled with consummate ease, it naturally takes its place in the hand and is completely forgotten. This model, brushed aluminum anthracite, is less elegant than his sidekick solid walnut, but it is equally effective and cost 20% less.
Jai noted one problem in use: from time to time the pressure of the point is misinterpreted, and can either take the form of a gum suddenly, as if the pen had been returned, or take a sudden the finger, which blurs then the path. In these cases (rare, however), you should go back by sliding two fingers on the iPad from right to left.

All in all, this is really an absolutely brilliant object design, and best pen that I was able to use on the iPad until now.
