Can you use anything other than an Apple Pencil or your finger to write on an iPad Pro?

Can you use anything other than an Apple Pencil or your finger to write on an iPad Pro 10.5?


I have seen seen several cheaper tablet pens on Amazon which claim to be compatible. However the one I have for my work computer will not work on it.

iPad Pro Wi-Fi, iOS 11.0.3

I am NOT a fan of the Apple Pencil.


You can use ANY commonly found capacitive stylii.

Also, there is a new hybrid stylus called an “active” stylus that uses a battery to simulate a much smaller finer point capacitive stylus- like touch for fine or finer point stylii.


OR,


The only other fully smart Bluetooth I can, honestly, recommend for an iPad Pro is the Adonit Pixel.
