Adonit's $45 iPad stylus can wirelessly charge like an Apple Pencil

<p>Numerous third-party iPad styluses (https://www.engadget.com/best-ipad-accessories-130018595.html) magnetically attach to your tablet, but they typically recharge through USB — not much help if you forget to top up before a writing session. Adonit may have addressed that flaw with its $45 <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Adonit;elmt:skimlinks;pdid:Neo Pro;" href="https://go.skimresources.com/?id=72705X1521812&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adonit.net%2Fneo-series%2F%23NeoPro">Neo Pro[/url], however. From what we've seen, it's the first unofficial pen to wirelessly charge on the side of an iPad Air (https://www.engadget.com/apple-ipad-air-5th-generation-review-130019050.html), iPad mini (https://www.engadget.com/apple-ipad-mini-6th-generation-2021-review-130009170.html) or iPad Pro (https://www.engadget.com/apple-ipad-pro-2021-m1-review-liquid-retina-xdr-5g-features-price-130049005.html). You can pay less than half the price of a $129 Apple Pencil without giving up a major convenience.</p><p>The Neo Pro offers up to nine hours of use. It doesn't require a Bluetooth connection to get started, but setting that up will show your remaining charge in the iPad's battery life widget.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>There is a reason the stylus is such a bargain. While the Neo Pro offers tilt sensitivity, palm rejection and replaceable tips, there's no pressure detection — this is more for note-takers than creatives producing detailed artwork. With that said, this might be a strong value if you need a pen for lectures (https://www.engadget.com/introducing-engadgets-2022-back-to-school-gift-guide-160024491.html) and office meetings.</p>
