I know that none of the Apple pencils are compatible with the iPad 5th Generation (even though it is only 3 yrs old) but why are none of the other compatible makes - like the Adonit Pixel, Note Plus etc - not able to be found in the UK?
Adonit discontinued the Pixel a while back. Only they know why the did that.
You can still find other options that work with the 5th gen iPad:

There aren't ANY good stylii for older iPads and the 2017 5th gen iPad, any longer.
Here's the best you can do.
Look on Amazon for fine tipped, so-called, “active”, battery powered ( sometime rechargeable battery powered ) capacitive stylii.
The battery in these stylli send a tiny electrical pulses to the fine tip of the stylus, simulating a finger touch.
These types of stylii have NO screen pressure sensing NOR any hand/palm rejection.
These stylii work with any sketching/drawing/painting/notes/writing apps.
You will not be able to lay your palm on the screen, while you write or draw, unless you use special, non-body electrical conducting, lycra®-based material drawing glove that work by isolating your hand/palm electrical signals and allow you to lay your hand/palm on the screen as you draw or write.
Something like this found on Amazon.
Many more makers of these types of gloves found on Amazon and in different hand sizes, and limited colors, as well!
Best of Luck to You!
Thanks for that, Phil. My daughter has an iPad 5th gen and she's doing graphic design and illustration at Uni. I've spent hours searching for a stylus with good features but each time I find one that is supposed to support iPad 5th Gen it is either out of stock, discontinued or not available in UK. I'll keep looking. Thanks again.
Thanks for clearing that up for me, Michael. I now know what to concentrate on. Have a good day. And Happy Christmas.
Stylus for iPad 5th generation.
