Stylus stopped working!

Using an iPad Air2. All of a sudden, it no longer recognizes my stylus. Did I inadvertently change something in Settings? Anyone else experience this? What to do?

I usually use Targus, but I had misplaced it, so I was using some brand X lookalike. Shortly after I posted my plea, I found the Targus. Now all is good, and the bad one is in the trash.

FYI,

Any commonplace, easily found and purchased capacitive stylus should work with any iPad, regardless.

It shouldn't matter the brand.

All capacitive stylii are just extensions of your fingers and, in most cases, the barrels of capacitive stylii act as finger electrical impulse amplifiers.

Any capacitive stylus work with any iPad.

Do not know what was wrong with the previous one you were using.

There is nothing special you need to set on a iPad to use commonplace capacitive stylus with an iPad.
