Our fingers do a grand job of controlling our touch screen devices \u2013 minus the odd embarrassing typo \u2013 but sometimes we\u2019re after a bit more precision and control, particularly when it comes to note taking and sketching. Cue the smart pen.<\/p>\n

The handy device lets us draw and write on our touch screens like we would pen to paper. Smart pens are ideal for creative tasks, as you have the freedom to scribble and sketch with no restrictions, whether you\u2019re creating a new logo for work, or doodling on your commute home. And of course, smart pens are an easy way to save on paper so we can take greener notes.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve rounded up six of the best smart pens including models that work on a range of devices, handy for large households, as well as Apple and Microsoft specific designs. So take a browse, and find a model to suit your scribbling needs, and budget.<\/p>\n

A sleek matte smart pen for iPad<\/a> users, great for drawing and spontaneous note taking thanks to the 1.5mm tip. Easy to use, just double tap the top of the pen, and start scribbling. A real bonus is the palm rejection tech which lets you rest your palm on the screen without causing interference.<\/p>\n

This iPad pencil is compatible with mini, Air and Pro models released after 2018, including iPad 6th to 9th generation and iPad Air 3rd to 5th generation. So even if there are a couple of models in your household, you\u2019re likely to all benefit.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a convenient light system which indicates how much battery your smart pen has, so you can easily keep on top of your pen\u2019s charge. And if you misplace a pen tip, the set comes with two back ups.<\/p>\n
