Seconding the recommendation above. Most budget pens use 'active capacitive' tech which mimics a finger but with precision—basically why palm rejection works so well. Over the years, I've found Kingone Upgraded Stylus Pen for iPad to be the most reliable for around $25. It's a solid alternative if you want something that feels sturdy. Just double-check your <a href=" https://www.amazon.com/s?k= iPad+model+cuz+it+only+wo&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">iPad model cuz it only works on 2018+ versions. ur gonna love the savings tho!! lol

So basically the consensus is that you dont need to drop $120 for the official pencil. Most budget pens use "active capacitive" tech now, which basically tells the <a href=" https://www.amazon.com/s?k= iPad+to+ignore+ur+hand+an&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">iPad to ignore ur hand and only track the tip. This matters because it makes the experience feel way more natural without the weird glitches older styluses had. I had issues with some generic ones before that were total junk and literally stopped charging after a month, so it's frustrating... but the Jamjake and Kingone options mentioned are actually solid for under $30.

Highkey a better deal than Apple tbh. gl!

For your situation, I've spent years testing these and unfortunately most are total junk. I had issues with connection drops on cheap pens, but the Jamjake Stylus Pen for iPad is actually solid. It's usually under $30 and has GREAT palm rejection. It works on basically any iPad from 2018 onwards. Definately the most reliable budget pick I've found. gl!
