Some Adonit Pixel users claimed their stylus doesn’t work, but it does work well IF you properly know how to set the Adonit Pixel. Once you have, initially, done all of this, all Adonit Pixel compatible apps will remember these settings for future use! You have to initially Bluetooth pair the Adonit Pixel, setup the hand/palm position and in many apps, set up the stylus screen pressure sensitivity for each and every compatible app! The Adonit Pixel stylus is NOT an Apple Pencil in this regard/respect. You just DO NOT simply turn on Bluetooth on an an iDevice and turn on the Adonit stylus and start writing.

You WILL have to perform some pairing and setup parameters in each of the Adonit Pixel compatible apps. Works with about a dozen of the major/popular drawing/sketching/painting apps (the Pixel works with, but currently not “officially” supported with Procreate, but it still works and works pretty well in Procreate ), and about a half dozen of the popular note taking apps, a half dozen writing apps and about a half dozen PDF style/compatible apps. Made of very high quality aluminum materials. I find it only lasts for between 9-12 hours, but Adonit claims up to 16 hours of continuous use on a charge cycle. Has both a small USB charger that that plugs into any USB charging block OR you can purchase an optional charging dock. Magnetically charges, has an auto 15 minute shutdown feature ( to preserve battery life ), charges in a hour. Has a nice fine, textured pen tip AND a nice rubber grip. The Adonit Pixel has ON/OFF/ shortcut buttons. I have been using this stylus for over two and a half years now and it is really good on my iPad Pro.

Plus it's a quality made, aluminum stylus with two programmable buttons. The Bluetooth connection is stable and its Bluetooth pressure sensing technology is very smooth, natural feeling and has consistent line drawing ability. This smart, Bluetooth stylus works across a wide range of iDevices.

It is the ONLY Bluetooth stylus that works well with ANY iPad.

I honestly fully recommend the Adonit Pixel stylus for your 5th gen 2017 iPad.
