$6 gets you 10 pens. After a few uses a few spikes fell off and got lost but I have 7 left. It's nice to have a pin or two in different places to remind you to use them. It's a nice transition from just using my fingers as of course we're always touching our phones and everything around us is constantly transmitting bacteria and I want to avoid a lot of contact with the phone I carry around. I originally bought this because I've started wearing cotton gloves at night to keep my hands hydrated at night, but I'm used to using it every day. I use it even when I'm on a Mac. For that it works great. Not even my AppleTV remote! I've never had a problem with stylus touchscreens, so that's all I can ask for. At such a low price, I don't even fret that a couple of pens have lost their tips. I still have about 7 to secure, so we'll see how long that takes.
