It's inexplicable why it doesn't support Pencil 2, and now pairing and charging Pencil 1 is even more goofy, as it requires an adapter. iPad 9 is still available and is $120 cheaper, and does not have this issue. Logitech makes a nice combo touch keyboard case for it.

To me Scribe would be a much stronger product if you could connect a physical keyboard to it.
