Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Mascom International stocks the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) at KSh 13,000, brand new and sealed, with pressure and tilt sensitivity, double-tap tool switching and magnetic charging. The Apple Pencil (2nd generation) clips onto the flat magnetic side of a compatible iPad, where it pairs and charges with no cable. It fits the iPad Pro 11-inch (1st to 4th generations), the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd to 6th generations), the iPad Air (4th and 5th generations) and the iPad mini (6th generation). It is ready for collection at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for lawyers, accountants, content creators and university students across Kenya, the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) handles contract markup, audit notes, storyboards and handwritten revision. Many owners of a 2020 or 2022 iPad Pro reach for a newer stylus, then find it will not pair with their tablet. The Apple Pencil (2nd generation) is the pencil that model was designed around. Press lightly for a hairline and harder for a bold stroke. Two quick taps on the flat side swap pen for eraser. An advocate in Upper Hill can sign and annotate a PDF bundle without printing a single page.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that list every stylus under one vague label, Mascom International names each Apple Pencil precisely and checks your iPad before the sale. At Mascom International, we're seeing many buyers with a 2021 iPad Pro or an iPad Air (5th generation) who need exactly this model. If your iPad is newer, the Apple Pencil Pro or Apple Pencil (USB-C) may suit you better, and we stock both. Walk in to try the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) on your own iPad, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Apple Pencil (2nd generation)
What is the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) price in Kenya?
The Apple Pencil (2nd generation) sells for KSh 13,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. The price includes a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery across all 47 counties. No charger is needed, since it draws power from the iPad's magnetic side. It costs the same as the Apple Pencil (USB-C) and KSh 5,000 less than the Apple Pencil Pro, though each one pairs with a different set of iPads.
Will the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) work with my iPad?
The Apple Pencil (2nd generation) works only with the iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations), the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th generations), the iPad Air (4th and 5th generations) and the iPad mini (6th generation). It does not pair with the iPad Pro (M4 or M5), the iPad Air (M2, M3 or M4), the iPad mini (A17 Pro) or any standard iPad. Check Settings, General, About on your iPad, then confirm the model with us on WhatsApp.
Is the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) better than the Apple Pencil (USB-C)?
For the iPads both models fit, the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) is the stronger choice at the same KSh 13,000 price. It adds pressure sensitivity, double-tap to switch tools, and wireless pairing and charging on the iPad's magnetic side. The Apple Pencil (USB-C) senses tilt but not pressure, and it pairs and charges by cable. Choose the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) for an iPad Air (4th or 5th generation), iPad mini (6th generation) or 2018-2022 iPad Pro. Pick the Apple Pencil (USB-C) only if you also own a standard iPad.
Does the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) need a charger during KPLC power cuts?
The Apple Pencil (2nd generation) never needs its own charger, because it charges from the iPad whenever it sits on the magnetic side. During a KPLC outage it keeps working for as long as the iPad has battery. Topping up the iPad from a power bank or a car charger keeps both running. Leave it attached when you are not writing, so a matatu commute from Westlands to town doubles as charging time. A short pause on the iPad's side between lectures also keeps it ready for the next class.
Can I use the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) for accounting and legal work?
The Apple Pencil (2nd generation) suits accountants and lawyers who review, annotate and sign documents on an iPad every day. Double-tap swaps between highlighter and eraser while you work through a ledger or a contract. Handwriting can be converted to typed text in Notes, so margin comments become searchable. Professionals in Upper Hill and Kilimani tell us it cuts their printing, which matters for long KRA filings and bulky court bundles.
What does double-tap do on the Apple Pencil (2nd generation)?
Double-tap is a quick two-finger tap on the lower flat side of the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) that switches tools without touching the screen. By default it toggles between your current pen and the eraser. In Settings, you can change it to switch to the last tool you used or to open the colour palette. Drawing and note apps can add their own double-tap actions, so check each app's settings after pairing. If you keep triggering it by accident, you can switch double-tap off completely.
Who should buy the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and who should skip it?
Buy the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) if you own a 2018-2022 iPad Pro, an iPad Air (4th or 5th generation) or the iPad mini (6th generation) and want pressure-sensitive writing. Skip it if your iPad is an iPad Pro (M4 or M5), iPad Air (M2 or later) or iPad mini (A17 Pro), since those take the Apple Pencil Pro. Owners of the standard iPad should look at the Apple Pencil (USB-C) or Apple Pencil (1st generation) instead.
Does the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) show hover previews?
Hover works with the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) only on the iPad Pro 11-inch (4th generation) and iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th generation), the two M2 models. On those iPads, holding the tip just above the glass shows where the mark will land and previews the brush. On every other compatible iPad, the pencil writes normally without hover. Content creators editing in Kisumu or Nakuru find hover useful for precise selection when retouching photos or cutting video.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Writing Features
- Pressure sensitivity — line weight changes with how hard you press, giving natural handwriting and shaded sketches on the screen.
- Tilt sensitivity — lean the tip over to shade wide areas, much like the side of a graphite pencil.
- Double-tap — tap the lower flat side twice to switch between pen and eraser, or open the colour palette.
- Low lag — strokes appear close to the tip as you move, so writing feels like ink on paper rather than a delayed trace following behind.
- Palm rejection — rest your hand on the glass while writing, and the iPad ignores it and reads only the tip.
- Scribble support — handwrite into any text box, such as an eCitizen form or a search bar, and the iPad converts it to typed text.
Compatibility
- iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations) — pairs and charges on the long magnetic side of the tablet.
- iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th generations) — the larger canvas favoured by illustrators and architects for detailed work.
- iPad Air (4th and 5th generations) — a common pairing for university students at Nairobi, Kenyatta and Strathmore universities.
- iPad mini (6th generation) — the compact option for doctors on ward rounds or NGO field staff completing forms.
- Not compatible with the iPad Pro (M4 or M5), iPad Air (M2 or later), iPad mini (A17 Pro) or standard iPad models.
- Hover on M2 iPad Pro — the 11-inch (4th generation) and 12.9-inch (6th generation) preview each stroke before the tip touches down.
Build and Charging
- Matte white finish — a grippy surface that stays comfortable during long note-taking sessions in warm Nairobi afternoons.
- One flat side — keeps the pencil from rolling off a desk and lines it up with the iPad's magnetic charging strip.
- Magnetic pairing — attaching it to a compatible iPad pairs it at once, with no Bluetooth menus or codes to enter.
- Wireless charging — it charges while attached, so it stays topped up whenever the iPad travels in your bag.
- No ports or caps — nothing to lose and no opening for road dust or coastal humidity to work into.
- Secure magnetic hold — the pencil stays put inside a sleeve; a case with a pencil strap adds protection on a boda boda.
Inclusions and Care
- Battery status — the iPad shows the pencil's charge on screen each time you attach it, so it never runs flat unnoticed.
- Replaceable tip — the nib unscrews, so a worn tip can be replaced without buying a new Apple Pencil (2nd generation).
- No charger to buy — the iPad supplies all power, which keeps your bag lighter and saves the cost of a separate adapter.
- Sealed Apple retail box — an intact seal confirms a genuine, first-owner unit that nobody has paired or used before you.
- Mascom International warranty — 6 months of cover for manufacturing defects, handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
Package Contents
Inside the sealed box you will find the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and Apple's printed documentation. There is no cable or adapter, and none is needed, because the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) charges on the iPad's magnetic side. Ask our team on WhatsApp if you would like spare tips, which are sold separately. Mascom International sells every unit in its original Apple seal, never opened for display.
