SonarPen, a cheap alternative to Apple Pencil and for any iPad

Sonar Pen Stylus iPad

If you have taken a look at the iPad Pro, surely there is one of the accessories that you are most envious of if you have an older model of the tablet par excellence. Yes, we could say the Smart Keyboard, however there are many alternatives on the market to replace this accessory in older iPad models. But what about the Apple Pencil? For this comes a project called SonarPen. It comes at a groundbreaking price and will work with any iPad model, even the 2010 model one.

There are many styluses on the market, but not all of them have a pressure control to be able to write on the screens of the tablets as if it were a conventional notebook. This is, perhaps, the feature that most grabs the attention of users when they want to get hold of the Apple Pencil. But SonarPen is a stylus cheap and having pressure sensing.

The project was born on Kickstarter, so if you're interested, you'd better support the campaign. East stylus does not need pairing or bluetooth connection; only you must connect it to the 3,5 mm audio jack - Exactly, the one with the headphones - and you'll have it ready to go.

Also, SonarPen recognizes the wrist rest on the screen and will not spoil your sketches or freehand notes. What is the best thing about the invention? Its price, without a doubt: $ 29 (slightly more than $23 current change). On the other hand, so that you do not lose the SonarPen, it is attached with a magnetic support that you can hook to the metal chassis of the iPad. Meanwhile, the cable to connect it to the headphone jack you can choose it in different shades and it will be completely gathered around the stylus.

Por el momento a little more than 8.000 euros of collection have been obtained of the 20.000 they need to carry out the invention. If everything works as expected, the first units will reach their owners in March 2018.
