KINGONE P8 Wireless Charging Pencil (2nd Generation) Review – iPad Pro & Air Compatibility

After weeks of using the KINGONE P8 Wireless Charging Pencil (2nd Generation), I’m ready to share my in-depth review. This stylus aims to provide a compelling alternative to Apple’s own offering, boasting wireless charging and several advanced features. But does it live up to the hype? Let’s dive in.

The KINGONE P8 boasts a range of features designed to improve the user experience. The standout feature is undoubtedly the wireless charging capability. Simply attach it magnetically to your compatible iPad, and it charges seamlessly. This eliminates the hassle of plugging in a cable, a major advantage for on-the-go users. Beyond charging, the P8 includes tilt sensitivity for nuanced line variations and palm rejection technology, ensuring your hand rests comfortably on the screen without interfering with your drawing or writing. Physical buttons provide easy access to various functions, eliminating accidental presses that are common with touch-sensitive buttons. This is a nice touch and makes the overall user experience smoother. The quick screenshot and handwriting in text box functions are also noteworthy and convenient.

In terms of performance, the KINGONE P8 delivers a surprisingly smooth and responsive experience. The 0-delay claim is largely accurate; I didn’t experience any noticeable lag during drawing or note-taking. The precision is excellent, allowing for detailed work. The tilt sensitivity works as advertised, adding a level of control that enhances creativity. I tested this extensively on various applications and found consistent performance across the board. The magnetic charging is as advertised and consistently fast and reliable.

However, I did notice minor occasional instances where the connection briefly dropped. It wasn’t frequent enough to be severely problematic but it’s a small flaw to note.

Pros:

  • Wireless charging is a major convenience.
  • Responsive and accurate performance.
  • Tilt sensitivity and palm rejection work well.
  • Physical buttons enhance ease of use.
  • Excellent value for the price.

Cons:

  • Occasional minor connection drops.
  • Compatibility is limited to specific iPad models (as noted in the description).

Overall, the KINGONE P8 Wireless Charging Pencil (2nd Generation) is a strong contender in the iPad stylus market. The wireless charging alone is a game-changer, and the combination of responsive performance, tilt sensitivity, and palm rejection makes it a joy to use. While minor connection issues occasionally surfaced, they weren’t severe enough to detract significantly from the overall positive experience. If you’re looking for a high-quality, feature-rich iPad stylus with the added convenience of wireless charging, the KINGONE P8 P8 is a highly recommended option. For the price, it’s hard to beat.
