The Midas Pen – A Budget Apple Pencil Alternative

Tried the £35 Midas Pen – a budget iPad stylus that kept popping up in my social feeds. Unboxed it, tested it, and compared it to the Apple Pencil… and it wasn’t quite what I expected.

In this video, I review the Midas Pen and the matching “paper feel” screen protector the company sent me. From questionable packaging and unintentionally funny translations to tilt support and surprisingly decent performance, this stylus had a few surprises.

How does it compare to the Apple Pencil? And is it actually worth using for note-taking or sketching? Let’s see if this budget iPad stylus really has the golden touch.
