I already have the 2nd gen pencil but tried this one since it was $25 and supported wireless charging. It functions almost identically to the Apple Pencil with no latency issues and would work for most people. If you just needed something for note taking, you could get everything done with this and save yourself a lot of money. The only thing it does not have is pressure sensitivity with isn’t necessary for notes anyways. I used it for drawing which I made a post about awhile ago so you can see you can still get a lot done with just this. If you wanted to go into more detail and see how it works, I uploaded a video review.
