Writing with Jot Dash is exactly like using other electronic but non-Bluetooth styluses I’ve tested, except for Dash’s unusually thin and light body. Jot Dash will also turn itself off after a brief period of inactivity. If you press the button again, the light will quickly flash red to signal that the power’s off. This activates the up-to-14-hour rechargeable battery, with the brief green dot signaling that the extremely thin 1.9mm plastic tip is conducting the mild electric charge necessary to interact with your iPhone’s or iPad’s screen just like your finger if the power’s off, the tip won’t interact with your device at all. Press the black bottom, like the base of a retractable ballpoint pen, and you’ll trigger a tiny green power light that’s hidden right above the silver shirt clip on the black aluminum tube. There are also two color options: the version of Jot Dash I reviewed was jet black, and there’s also a silver version, both with the same black dock. Adonit has even slimmed down Dash’s included recharging dock to the point where the all-plastic frame slides into your computer’s USB port, flaring out at the bottom to support the magnetic charging circle - the only metal part left on the design. Those numbers don’t reflect just how different the styluses look and feel, but the images below show how much thicker the Script 2 is than Dash Rechargeable Apex is even chunkier. But it’s the first electronic Jot that’s as thin as a non-electronic Jot, with a roughly 8mm diameter versus the 10mm Jot Script 2 and 12mm Rechargeable Apex. I’ve lost count of how many Jot styluses there have been before Jot Dash, but it suffices to say that Adonit has released many Jots before now - I’d guess Dash was the 10th-generation Jot or thereabouts.

No Bluetooth means no palm rejection or extra button support.

My iPad that I’m connecting it to is an iPad Pro 12.9” (2nd generation) ver. This pen is a 1st generation apple pen, I’ve had it for a little over a year so it is no longer within warranty. The only thing that somewhat works is turning my device off and on a few times while testing the pen on the Lock Screen each time. It’s fully charged, it’s listed as connected all the time in Bluetooth even when not working, I can see the battery percentage in the side menu, when I plug it in it shows up in the “about” section in settings with all its info and such but it disappears when I unplug it, I normally charge it with the lightning cable adapter for the apple pen, I have done the “forget device” technique a dozen times to no effect, I have restarted my iPad numerous times and it has had no effect, and I have replaced the tip and ensured that it is fully screwed on. It’s gotten to the point where I’ll get it to work then it’ll stop working 5 seconds later and take another 5-10 minutes to start working again If I turn my iPad off and on a few times it starts to work but if I don’t use it for a minute it stops working again. My apple pen cannot interact with my screen.
