What stylus is actually the best value for an iPad right now because I'm totally overwhelmed? I need something by Monday since my semester in Seattle starts then and I really dont want to drop $130 on an Apple Pencil 2 if I dont have to.
I looked at the Logitech Crayon and those cheap $20 pens on Amazon but I'm seeing mixed reviews. Some say the cheap ones lack pressure sensitivity which is fine for notes but others say they just stop working after a week or scratch the screen. I'm mostly just doing heavy note taking in Goodnotes for my bio class. Is there a middle ground under $50 that actually lasts or am I gonna regret not buying the real thing...

I totally get being nervous about those super cheap Amazon pens! I actually tried a random $15 one last year and it literally died right in the middle of my chemistry lab... I was so stressed trying to find a pen to finish my notes! After that, I did a ton of research because I really wanted something reliable but I'm also super careful with my money. I ended up getting the Zagg Pro Stylus for iPad with Dual Tip and Palm Rejection and it has been absolutely amazing for my bio notes!! Here is why I love it:
- It costs way less than the Apple Pencil, usually around $50 if you catch a sale.
- The battery life is fantastic and it charges via USB-C which is so convenient.
- It has palm rejection so you wont accidentally mess up your pages in Goodnotes!
- It feels much sturdier and safer than those generic $20 brands. Honestly, if you want to avoid that huge price tag but still feel safe that it wont die on you, this is the one! Good luck with your semester in Seattle!
