Value for money

Available in eight color options, MEKO's universal stylus combo pack includes two capacitive styli, four replacement disc tips, as well as two fiber tips. There's no battery here; instead, MEKO's stylus relies purely on the transfer of electric charges from your body to the tip when interacting with the touch screen. Also, the use of aluminum and stainless steel gives the styli a much more premium feel than what the affordable price might suggest.

KECOW Active Stylus Pen

Apple Pencil for Android

Fashioned in the likeness of the iOS-exclusive Apple Pencil, this active stylus from KECOW is very comfortable to use. Its shape resembles your average graphite pencil, but the overall look is very fancy with the all-white finish. If the battery runs out, you can always turn this thing upside down and use as a capacitive stylus, which is a fantastic backup option. That being said, there is also a microUSB port for charging.

Evach's Active Stylus Pen comes with a buffer unit at the tip for more accuracy and control when you're using it on the screen. It works and feels just like a real pen and the integrated battery can go up to 8 hours on a full charge that takes about an hour. The 1.5mm fine tip and around 13.3 grams weight make Evach's Active Stylus Pen extremely comfortable to use, though we wish it had a USB-C port for charging instead of microUSB.
