The new USB-C Apple Pencil supports hover with the iPad Pro and can attach magnetically — but at $79, it’s cheaper than the $129 second-gen Pencil.

The cheaper price means that the Pencil doesn’t come with some of the more advanced features as the first- and second-generation accessories. The device doesn’t support pressure sensitivity, wireless pairing and charging, or the double-tap feature that lets you switch between tools. However, it still supports hover with M2 models of the iPad Pro.

The lower price is nice, but zero pressure sensitivity is a big question mark IMO. You’d expect something at this price to have at least a few levels of sensitivity.

    I’m pretty sure wacom drivers are just in the linux kernel, and also my XP pen tablet worked out of the box also. I haven’t noticed any weird problems.
