This gadget works both as a mouse and a stylus in one Bluetooth-connected package.
I was impressed with its smooth performance and easy setup.
Out of the box, the Note-M looks like a meanerApple Pencilin a sleek black metal frame.

Ive never been a fan of the slick surface of the Pencil which can make it hard to manipulate.
Easy Set-Up
Setting up the Note-M was a breeze.
I got it paired and worked with my iPad within seconds of taking it out of the box.
Adonit
It came already charged and I just needed to find it on the Bluetooth menu on my iPad.
The pen is magnetic and snaps right on the side of your tablet.
The Note-M worked just as well as my Apple Pencil for handwriting.
Presto, Its Also a Mouse!
Where the Note-M shined was when I switched over to its functionality as a stylus.
You do this simply by pressing the power button.
It worked instantly without any fuss.
I have spent decades in a long-running battle with mice in an attempt to stave off carpal tunnel syndrome.
I was surprised at how well the Note-M worked for simple tasks like selecting text and cutting and pasting.
Somehow, Adonit managed to fit a minuscule touch panel that works as a scroll wheel.
It just doesnt beat the economy of motion these other peripherals offer.
But its good to change things up once in a while.
Charging is one area where Apple has one over on Adonit.
The Note-M wont charge wirelessly on an iPad Pro or iPad Air like the Pencil.
Id recommend the Note-M simply for its abilities as a stylus as long as you arent an artist.
The mouse functionality is truly useful and makes a great companion to a regular mouse especially on a tablet.
