It also does a better job recreating the feel of a pen on paper as you're gliding across your tablet screen, but you'll still notice how slick the glass is. Additionally, Ink packs Adonit's Pixelpoint tech that allows for a skinnier tip with "thousands" of levels of pressure sensitivity. Sure, most drawing apps allow you to select a thin line from the options menu, but fine strokes with a stubby rubber stylus never felt comfortable to me, and it's the main reason I haven't really dove into tablet sketching. Those who need to wrangle fine line work when sketching on an iPad should be quite happy with the hardware here. Ink's point is a hair larger than a ballpoint pen's or graphite pencil's tip, but it allows for more accurate control thanks to its diminutive stature.
You know the ones: rounded, rubber-tip affairs that feel more like a marker than a pencil or fine-point pen. Ink also features a much smaller tip than other styli I've used in the past. All told, the pen is a little larger than a regular Sharpie (read: more like a marker than an ink pen) and, as you can tell, its thick shape actually makes it more comfortable to use. That button - a single, circular concave spot - allows quick access to tools inside the companion apps without the need to swipe through a menu mid-doodle (more on that in a bit). Not only does it handle nicely, but it also allows you to comfortably rest an index finger on the topside button while working. Ink's overall triangular shape twists as you move down from the top to the tip and, to me, this design cue allows for a nicer feel in the hand than a straight, wedge-like design would have offered.

The same indicator can even be customized for a particular user so that in an office full of mobile sketch artists, you aren't picking up someone else's device. When charging, that light becomes a colored ring that indicates the charge status on the case itself. Getting back to Ink, though, the same end that plugs into the cap for recharging also sports a multi-color LED, serving as an indicator for when the stylus is on and has been connected to an iPad. Unfortunately, since the ruler doesn't need to be charged, it doesn't get its own storage accessory you'll have to find your own way of protecting it from scratches, I'm afraid. Ink takes about an hour to fully juice up and is rated for around eight hours, allowing you to get through a full workday before plugging in again. The end snaps magnetically into the cap where there's a micro-USB port for charging. Thankfully, there's a lipstick-style plastic tube for the Ink stylus, an accessory that allows for both recharging and safekeeping. Indeed, something as simple as transporting the Ink and Slide in the same backpack compartment could produce some wear and tear. Unfortunately, the metal surfaces here scuff about as easily as Apple's devices, too. It also gives the two a premium look, especially compared to other stylii, most of which are fashioned entirely out of plastic. This means the add-ons match white variants of the iPad Air, iPad mini and fourth-gen iPad well. They're still wrapped in aluminum with white plastic accents where the tools come in contact with your tablet screen. When Adobe first pulled the wraps off its stylus and ruler, then code-named Project Mighty and Napoleon, the two devices already had near-final hardware.
