Is this stylus compatible with my iPad or tablet?

The Baseus Smooth Writing 3 Stylus works with most capacitive touchscreen tablets including iPad 6th-11th Generation (2018-2025), iPad Pro 11"/12.9"/13" M4, iPad Air 3/4/5/M2/M3, iPad Mini 5/6, and compatible Android tablets with active stylus support. It does NOT require Bluetooth pairing - simply turn it on and start writing. Check your tablet's specifications to confirm active stylus support for full tilt sensitivity features.

What is tilt sensitivity and how does it work?

Tilt sensitivity allows the stylus to detect the angle at which you hold the pen, automatically adjusting stroke thickness and shading intensity - just like traditional pencils and brushes. When you tilt the stylus at different angles (90°, 60°, 45°), compatible drawing apps like Procreate, Adobe Fresco, and Autodesk Sketchbook recognize the angle change and create natural shading effects, line variation, and realistic brush strokes. This feature is essential for digital artists who want natural drawing and painting experiences.

How long does the battery last and how do I charge it?

The 125mAh battery provides approximately 10 hours of continuous use on a full charge - enough for full-day classes, work meetings, or extended creative sessions. Charging is simple via the included USB wired charging cable (no wireless charging). The convenient LED indicator shows battery level status, so you'll always know when to recharge. Quick 30-minute charging provides several hours of use if you're in a rush.

Does this stylus have palm rejection?

Yes! The Baseus Smooth Writing 3 features palm rejection technology that prevents accidental touches when your hand rests on the screen while writing or drawing. This allows for natural, comfortable writing positions without unwanted marks. Palm rejection works automatically in compatible apps - no special settings required. For best results, use with apps that support palm rejection like GoodNotes, Notability, Procreate, and Adobe Fresco.

How is this different from Apple Pencil?

The Baseus Smooth Writing 3 is a premium Apple Pencil alternative offering tilt sensitivity, palm rejection, and long battery life at a fraction of the cost. Key differences: Apple Pencil has pressure sensitivity (Baseus does not), magnetic attachment/wireless charging on newer iPads (Baseus uses wired charging), and gesture controls like double-tap (Baseus does not). However, for note-taking, basic drawing, document annotation, and students on a budget, the Baseus provides excellent performance at significantly lower price. Both work with iPad 2018 and later models.

Can I replace the tip when it wears out?

Absolutely! The stylus includes 1x replaceable active tip in the package. Tips naturally wear down with heavy use (especially for artists and note-takers), so replaceable tips ensure your stylus stays functional long-term. Replacement tips are available for purchase separately. The ability to swap tips also allows you to choose between smooth lines or more textured effects depending on your creative preferences and drawing style.

What apps work best with tilt sensitivity?

Tilt sensitivity works best in drawing and illustration apps that support advanced stylus features. Top recommended apps: Procreate (industry-standard digital art app with full tilt support), Adobe Fresco (realistic brush strokes), Autodesk Sketchbook (professional sketching), Concepts (infinite canvas design), and Affinity Designer (vector illustration). For note-taking, tilt sensitivity provides natural handwriting variation in Notability, GoodNotes, and OneNote. Basic annotation apps may not fully utilize tilt features.

Is this suitable for professional digital artists?

The Baseus Smooth Writing 3 is excellent for students, hobbyists, and semi-professional digital artists who prioritize tilt sensitivity and natural drawing feel. The lack of pressure sensitivity (which detects how hard you press) means it's not ideal for professional artists who require full pressure control for advanced illustration work. However, many professional illustrators use it successfully for sketching, concept work, line art, and comic book inking where tilt control is more important than pressure. For professional artists on a budget or those wanting a backup stylus, it offers exceptional value.
