The charging efficiency is notable—1 minute of charging equals about 50 minutes of use, and 4 minutes of charging equals approximately 2 hours. An LED indicator shows the battery level and alerts you when it’s time to recharge. Additionally, the pencil automatically shuts down after 5 minutes of inactivity to conserve energy.

  • Ergonomic Design:
    Designed for comfort, the Metapen ME-APP152 is lightweight and balanced, making it easy to use for extended periods without causing hand fatigue.

    With tilt sensitivity, you can achieve different line thicknesses and shading effects by varying the angle of the pencil. The palm rejection feature allows you to rest your palm on the screen while using the pencil, enhancing comfort and usability during creative tasks.
