The pen is literally new, I bought it 4 months ago and only used it for a week, very very little use. The pen version is 2023. It connects with a cable so the device recognizes it, then you use it wirelessly normally. The important thing is to connect it to the iPad with the cable first, then it connects via Bluetooth automatically. For sale to the highest bidder, and please don't undervalue it. God is my witness that it is new.
