Honestly I looked into this before and I believe no other pen on the market has pen pressure… maybe potentially the Adonit? Also I thought there was a Wacom stylus for iOS but I can’t find anything about it now.
There’s also a chance these third party pens won’t work on some apps at all.
And some will be sneakily marketed as pens but end up being just capacitive.
They won’t have the double tap features either and I don’t think there’s any buttons to replace that (that would be a cool feature though; I always liked the mappable buttons on tablet styluses and miss it on the Apple Pencil—I’d prefer that to the double tap).
I think you’re better off buying the apple brand because nothing matches it right now even though many are already priced similarly but lacking features.
