Pencil recommendations for iPad 10

[OldCorpse]

I bought an iPad 10 a few days ago, and was wondering if there’s a pencil that might be useful.

I have an Apple pencil 1 left over from an Air 3 I traded in for credit at Apple.

I’m not thrilled to hunt around for dongles and adapters to get it to pair/charge, not to mention that I find the charging arrangement in Apple’s design super clumsy and depressing in this case.

It occurred to me that maybe I can give a third party pencil a try.

I don’t have any super complicated tasks in mind, like artist drawings; I just want to be able to draw simple doodles and shapes for brainstorming and basic illustration. Also some note taking that I hope to turn into text. General more precise pointing, clicking, selecting etc. Nothing fancy.

I’m hoping for something that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, definitely cheaper than Apple. Hopefully something that charges in a simple way without jumping through hoops. Something that’s functional with a reasonable reliability that actually works on an iPad and doesn’t have random dropouts in capabilities on the iPad 10.

What are your recommendations? TIA!

Yes, a third party pencil would be the best option. If I were you, I wouldn't doubt.

I have this one for my iPad mini and it's great. It's magnetic and charges by being attached to the iPad.

I have one of these: -

It’s reasonably decent and connects to the side of the iPad for charging. Not sure if an iPad 10 has this feature though, so definitely worth checking. It work’s reasonably well but the palm rejection is sometimes a bit iffy.

I have one of these and like it just as well as my Apple Pencil 2 for notes and drawing.
