$59.99 From switcheasy.com

Features 10 hour battery life, tilt sensitivit­y, palm rejection, replaceabl­e tip, magnetic attachment, USB–C

The EasyPencil Pro 3 looks like the Apple Pencil 2 but has a friendlier point and is compatible with all newer iPads. While it’s mostly cylindrica­l, there is one flat edge to stop it from rolling on a flat surface, and allows it to magnetical­ly attach to your iPad (on Pro models). It features palm rejection, tilt sensitivit­y, but no pressure sensitivit­y. Tap the top of the stylus to turn it on. To charge it up, use the included USB cable — 30 minutes gets you 10 hours of use. The nib on this stylus has a fine point, which is accurate enough for writing notes and doing quick sketches. On a protector–less screen, there’s a bit of friction due to the silicon tip against glass, but it’s still smooth overall. SwitchEasy recommends its PaperLike Screen Protector for the best experience. The EasyPencil is cheapest by $10 here.

Bang for buck No pressure sensitivit­y EXCELLENT
