The SonarPen 2, which doesn’t need to be charged since it relies on sound instead of Bluetooth, adds tilt detection and an improved replaceable tip.
In 2018, the SonarPen debuted as a cheaper alternative to the Apple Pencil by using audio signals transmitted to the iPad over a cable instead of Bluetooth. Its creators are back with an upgraded USB-C version that introduces additional functionality, including tilt detection and an improved tip that now closely resembles the Apple Pencil’s. The SonarPen 2 is currently available for preorder through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, with shipping estimated to start as early as April 2025.
The SonarPen 2 still supports features like palm rejection, pressure sensitivity, and a customizable shortcut button while adding tilt detection and a tip similar to the Apple Pencil’s that can be replaced as it wears down. Other third-party iPad styluses that support features like tilt detection and pressure sensitivity are more expensive, such as the $70 Adonit Note Plus.
