Which stylus works best for general note-taking on any tablet?

Question

Ive been an iPad power user for years but my firm just sent me a mix of Android tablets for a project in Chicago next week. Need a universal stylus under $50 that doesnt lag.

Which ones actually feel good for handwriting on any screen?

Honestly, finding a truly universal pen that doesnt lag is a nightmare. I have spent way too much money on active styluses that just skip or create jagged lines on Android screens. Its super disappointing coming from an iPad environment where everything just works. Most active pens under $50 are basically just fancy batteries with a conductive tip and no palm rejection if youre swapping between different brands. If you can handle the weird look, disc styluses are actually more reliable for note-taking because they dont need a bluetooth connection or power:Meko Universal Disc Stylus 2-in-1 Precision SeriesAdonit Pro 4 Precision Stylus for Touchscreens Tbh, the disc tip gives you the best visual of where the ink is gonna start. Just keep the screen clean or youll get scratches... let me know if you need help figuring out if your specific Android tabs support better tech like USI tho.

> Which ones actually feel good for handwriting on any screen? Finding a universal one is tricky. You might want to be careful with cheap active pens because they skip. I would suggest the Adonit Dash 4 Dual Mode Stylus since it toggles between iPad and Android. Its under $50 and reliable for notes. Just make sure to keep it charged or it might lag... definitely better than rubber tips. Let me know if you need help!
