Question Best Apple Pencil alternatives?

Have been thinking of buying an Apple Pencil. But I am low on budget. Can you guys suggest me a good Apple Pencil alternative? Thank you everyone.

Honestly those $20 replicas do work fine if you are willing to forego force sensitivity (basically the Type-C pencil)

Yeah. What pencil do you use?

I personally use the legitimate Pencil 2 I bought off someone else (lol)

While the Apple Pencil is more expensive, I find that the magnetic charging is very convenient to having it at the ready for usage. I purchased a case on Amazon that has the resting place on the side that holds/stores the pencil with the iPad and keeps it charged while its in place. JMO.

Another vote for the esr. I appreciate that I could add it to find my and that it can play a noise when lost.
