Good value for an S Pen alternative

It's a pretty good pen although I only got it last weekend so keep that in mind but for now I'm happy to use it up my Galaxy s21 Ultra. It's slightly larger than standard S-Pens, almost the same size as a capless ballpoint pen, only slightly flattened on both sides, which improves grip and muscle memory where the pen's button is located. The clip is admittedly quite stiff and thin metal, a bit thicker than a shirt pocket, some papers or bindings would make me nervous about not bending or breaking it. The pen tip is also quite small and thin in my opinion, which is good for precision work, but it seems to me that it can wear out a little quicker than most, but that hasn't happened so far, and when it does wear out, it contains in me more tips and a tool to share them, so I'm not worried. Responsiveness is very good, I had no problems with accuracy when navigating, noting and drawing, which is why I got it and the s21 ultra specifically the s21 line. The only issue I've had, which may not even be related to the stylus itself but rather to how Samsung phones read input from the stylus, is that when the stylus is at a decently low angle it doesn't seem to be reading it on the screen, that and having to apply a little more pressure than I generally like to use are the only issues I've had. I made sure to get tempered glass for my phone so I wouldn't have to worry about applying pressure, but any plain plastic, even self-healing ones, will definitely dent. All in all a great $20 investment as far as I'm concerned, it's a much better deal than paying 3x the price for a much smaller pen and just sacrificing the remote control features I doubt I'll ever have will use.
