“First introduced to students as a versatile tool for learning, we are
thrilled to make Logitech Crayon, our first digital pencil, more widely
available so even more creators, dreamers, and learners can express
themselves and communicate new ideas using the new 9.7-inch iPad,” said
Michele Hermann, vice president of mobility at Logitech. “Logitech
Crayon works seamlessly with iPad and the most popular creativity and
productivity apps from the App Store so whether you are learning to
write a new language, jotting down notes, marking up a screenshot or
PDF, or visualizing an idea, Crayon is the perfect tool for the task.”
Logitech Crayon takes advantage of Apple Pencil technology (but does not
support pressure sensitivity) to deliver a natural, fast and precise
experience across apps. Palm-rejection automatically ignores touches
that don’t come from Logitech Crayon, which means you can comfortably
rest your hand on the screen while you create. Crayon’s smart tip
dynamically adjusts line weight allowing you to easily go from thick to
thin lines with a tilt of a tip – just like a regular pencil.
Logitech Crayon connects instantly to iPad without the need to pair —
just press the on button to turn Crayon on and start creating on iPad
right away – it’s that easy. Logitech Crayon has battery that supports
up to 7 hours of active writing time on a full charge.
Crayon is perfect for everywhere creativity and learning happens.
Designed to be comfortable to hold for even tiny hands, it stays in
place when it’s set down, featuring an easy-to-grip flat surface to
prevent rolling and the kid-friendly sturdy, durable design can
withstand drops of up to 4 feet. The rubber end cap is tethered to
Logitech Crayon to avoid being misplaced.
