Apple Pencil Pro is available at Mascom International for KSh 18,000, brand new and sealed, with squeeze, barrel roll, haptic feedback and Find My built into a matte white stylus. The Apple Pencil Pro pairs and charges by snapping onto the magnetic edge of a compatible iPad, so there is no cable to carry and no separate charger to buy. It works with the iPad Pro 11-inch and 13-inch (M4 and M5), the iPad Air 11-inch and 13-inch (M2, M3 and M4), and the iPad mini (A17 Pro). You can try one at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for illustrators, architects, university students and doctors, the Apple Pencil Pro handles sketching, lecture notes, plan markup and signed forms. The usual problem with a stylus is broken flow: hunting through menus to swap pen for eraser, or losing the pen itself. Squeeze the barrel and a tool palette appears beside the tip. Roll it between your fingers and a shaped brush or highlighter turns with it, the way a chisel-tip marker does on paper. A light haptic tap confirms each action. Students at Strathmore and USIU can write straight onto lecture PDFs instead of paying for printouts.
Where many Nairobi shops sell third-party styluses labelled as iPad-compatible, Mascom International sells only the genuine Apple Pencil Pro, sealed in Apple packaging. Customers across Nairobi tell us the costly mistake is buying a Pencil that will not pair with their iPad, so our staff check your exact iPad model before you pay. If your tablet needs the Apple Pencil (2nd generation), Apple Pencil (USB-C) or Apple Pencil (1st generation) instead, we stock those too. Visit the store to test the Apple Pencil Pro, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Apple Pencil Pro
How much is the Apple Pencil Pro in Kenya?
The Apple Pencil Pro costs KSh 18,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. That price includes a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. You do not need a charger, because the Apple Pencil Pro charges from the iPad while it rests on the magnetic edge. It sits KSh 5,000 above the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and Apple Pencil (USB-C), both KSh 13,000, but each suits different iPad models, so match the Pencil to your tablet first.
Which iPad models work with the Apple Pencil Pro?
The Apple Pencil Pro works with the iPad Pro 11-inch and 13-inch (M4 and M5), the iPad Air 11-inch and 13-inch (M2, M3 and M4), and the iPad mini (A17 Pro). It does not work with any earlier iPad Pro, iPad Air or iPad mini, or with the standard iPad. On an iPad outside this list, it will not pair at all. Send your iPad's model name on WhatsApp, found under Settings, General, About, and Mascom International will confirm the match before delivery.
Should I buy the Apple Pencil Pro or the Apple Pencil (USB-C)?
On a current iPad Pro, iPad Air or iPad mini, the real choice is between the Apple Pencil Pro at KSh 18,000 and the Apple Pencil (USB-C) at KSh 13,000. The Apple Pencil Pro adds pressure sensitivity, squeeze, barrel roll, haptic feedback, double-tap, Find My and wireless charging on the iPad's edge. The Apple Pencil (USB-C) keeps tilt sensitivity but has no pressure sensitivity, and it pairs and charges by cable. Pick the Apple Pencil Pro for drawing and shaded handwriting, and the cheaper model for plain notes and form filling.
Can I find a lost Apple Pencil Pro if I leave it on a matatu in Nairobi?
The Apple Pencil Pro is the only Apple Pencil that appears in Apple's Find My app, so you can see where it was last located on a map. That helps when it slips out of a bag on a matatu, in a boda boda dash across town or under a seat in a lecture hall. No earlier Apple Pencil offers this, which matters when a replacement costs KSh 18,000. The simplest protection is habit: keep it attached to the iPad's magnetic edge whenever you travel around Nairobi.
What do squeeze and barrel roll do on the Apple Pencil Pro?
Squeeze opens a tool palette next to the tip of the Apple Pencil Pro, so you can switch pens, colours or the eraser without reaching for the toolbar. Barrel roll uses a gyroscope inside the pencil to sense rotation, so a shaped brush or highlighter turns as you twist it, like a flat marker on paper. A light haptic tap you feel in your fingers confirms both actions. They work in Apple's Notes and Freeform apps, and in drawing apps whose developers have added support.
Is the Apple Pencil Pro good for architects and design students in Kenya?
The Apple Pencil Pro suits architects, quantity surveyors and design students who mark up drawings and sketch site ideas on an iPad. Pressure sensitivity changes line weight as you press harder, so one tool draws both faint construction lines and heavy outlines. On supported iPads, hover shows where the mark will land before the tip touches the glass, which helps with precise PDF annotation. Students at JKUAT and Moi University can review studio drawings without printing A1 sheets at a cyber café.
Who should buy the Apple Pencil Pro and who should skip it?
Buy the Apple Pencil Pro if you own an iPad Pro (M4 or M5), an iPad Air (M2, M3 or M4) or the iPad mini (A17 Pro) and you draw, design or write by hand for hours. Skip it if your iPad is a 2018-2022 iPad Pro, an iPad Air (4th or 5th generation) or the iPad mini (6th generation), because those need the Apple Pencil (2nd generation). Standard iPad owners should choose the Apple Pencil (USB-C) or Apple Pencil (1st generation), depending on the generation.
How does the Apple Pencil Pro pair and charge?
The Apple Pencil Pro pairs and charges the moment you attach it to the magnetic edge of a compatible iPad, with no port, cable or charging brick involved. A small on-screen card shows its battery level each time you attach it. Because the iPad powers it, the Apple Pencil Pro keeps working through KPLC outages for as long as the iPad holds charge. A power bank that tops up your iPad during a blackout therefore keeps both devices going through a long evening of study.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Drawing Features
- Pressure sensitivity — press harder for a thicker, darker line and lighter for fine strokes, just as a graphite pencil behaves on paper.
- Tilt sensitivity — angle the tip to shade broad areas with the side of the nib, useful for sketches, diagrams and hand lettering.
- Squeeze gesture — a firm squeeze of the barrel opens a tool palette beside the tip, saving repeated trips to the toolbar.
- Barrel roll — an internal gyroscope tracks rotation, so shaped pens and brushes turn as you twist the Apple Pencil Pro.
- Haptic feedback — a soft tap you feel in your fingers confirms squeezes, double-taps and shapes snapping into place on screen.
- Double-tap — tap the lower barrel twice to swap between your current tool and the eraser without lifting your hand.
Compatibility
- iPad Pro 11-inch and 13-inch (M4 and M5) — every Apple Pencil Pro feature works, including hover previews before the tip lands.
- iPad Air 11-inch and 13-inch (M2, M3 and M4) — pairs and charges on the long magnetic edge of the tablet.
- iPad mini (A17 Pro) — the compact option for doctors, NGO field staff and students who hold the iPad in one hand.
- Not compatible with earlier iPad Pro, iPad Air or iPad mini models, or any standard iPad; those need a different Apple Pencil.
- App support — works across Notes, Freeform, Mail markup and PDF tools; squeeze and barrel roll depend on each app's support.
- Hover on supported iPads — hold the tip just above the glass to preview where a stroke will land before you commit to it.
- Checking your model — open Settings, then General, then About on the iPad to read the exact model name before ordering.
Build and Charging
- Matte white finish — a soft, grippy surface that stays steady in warm hands during long drawing or note-taking sessions in Nairobi heat.
- One flat side — stops the pencil rolling off a desk and lines it up with the iPad's magnetic edge for charging.
- Wireless pairing — attaching it to the iPad pairs it instantly, with no Bluetooth menus, codes or setup apps to work through.
- Wireless charging — it charges while attached, so it is topped up whenever the iPad travels in your bag or sleeve.
- No ports or caps — nothing small to lose, and no opening where dust from Nairobi roads can collect over time.
- Replaceable tip — the nib unscrews, so a worn tip can be swapped instead of replacing the whole Apple Pencil Pro.
Inclusions and Tracking
- Find My support — shows where your Apple Pencil Pro was last located on a map, helpful after a busy commute.
- Battery status card — the iPad shows charge level on screen each time you attach the pencil, so it never dies unexpectedly.
- No charger needed — the iPad supplies all power, so there is no extra adapter to buy or carry to class.
- Sealed Apple retail box — an untouched seal confirms you are the first owner of a genuine unit.
- Mascom International warranty — 6 months of cover for manufacturing defects, handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
Package Contents
The sealed box holds the Apple Pencil Pro and Apple's printed documentation. No charger or cable is included, and none is needed, because the Apple Pencil Pro draws its power from the iPad's magnetic edge. Spare tips are not in the box, so ask our team on WhatsApp about availability if you wear one down. Mascom International never opens boxes before sale, which means the seal you break is the original Apple seal.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Apple Pencil Pro with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, including pairing, charging and drawing faults under normal use. Claims are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street. Bring the pencil and your proof of purchase, and our staff will assess it.
