Lamy safari note+: Stylus is compatible with many iPads, offers two quick selection buttons, 2048 pressure levels and tilt detection
Long-established manufacturer Lamy will soon launch its first stylus for numerous Apple tablets, which is likely also intended to give school children an input device with new features in a familiar form as an alternative to the analogue pen.
Lamy is launching an input device for various iPads, namely the Lamy safari note+, which is compatible with the iPad Air (3rd gen and higher), the iPad Mini (fifth gen and higher), the iPad (sixth gen and higher), all iPad Pro 11 models and iPad Pro 12.9 tablets (third gen and higher). Lamy explicitly points out that the iPads in question must already be updated to at least iOS 12.2 or higher, which should apply to practically every iPad.
The Lamy safari note+ is intended to allow precise sketches and notes to be made, as the digital stylus supports 2048 pressure levels. Tilt sensitivity is available so that shading effects can be created with appropriate brushes. The tip is replaceable, as is usual for this type of stylus. Two speed dial buttons on which frequently selected actions can be assigned are available. This allows users, for example, to quickly undo entries or easily access the digital eraser. An LED display shows the current status and lights up red when the battery is low.
The stylus is not charged via Lightning, but instead via USB-C in the form of a socket. Information on the battery life is not yet available. The Lamy safari note+ is likely also aimed at children who may already be using a similar kind of pen in analog form at school. The Lamy safari note+ is due to be released in the middle of the year, but information on price is not yet available. EMR pens from Lamy have already arrived in stores.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
