So I found this sale tonight and thought I share it. While I brought an Apple Pencil for me and my wife, I didn’t really want to spend the Apple Pencil price for the kids iPads, so I two of them as Christmas presents. They seem to be pretty good for Kids, cost me $40.32 for 2 delivered via Amazon. I do have a prime membership, not sure if that matters.

ESR Rechargeable iPad Pencil (White only) $9.99USD ($10USD off).

Specs:
ESR Upgraded Stylus Pen for iPad, Active Stylus with Palm Rejection, Precise and Rechargeable Pencil Compatible with iPad Pro 2021/2020/2018, iPad 8/7/6, Air 4/3, Mini 5, White

Much better for those who don't want to pay $140/199 for the Apple branded one.
• Only compatible with iPad Pro 2021/2020/2018, iPad 8th/7th/6th Gen, iPad Air 4/3, iPad mini 5; not compatible with iPad Pro 12.9” (1st & 2nd Gen), iPad Pro 9.7”, iPad Pro 10.5”, iPhone, or other devices
• Palm Rejection Technology means using a stylus on your iPad feels like using a real pencil, making it ideal for drawing and writing
• USB-chargeable battery provides 12 hours of active use; charge 5 minutes for 1 hour of use and 1 hour for a full battery
• No complex Bluetooth pairing process, just turn on the digital stylus pencil and start creating
• Quality materials create a precise and responsive pen that doesn’t scratch your screen and feels smooth when writing; includes replacement tip

Where are you seeing Apple Pencil 2 for USD $140 and the first gen for 199? Apple lists it for $129, and Apple Pencil 1 for $99.

I use a JamJakes alternative pencil with my iPad Air 4 and just love it. Sounds like it works similarly to the one you're recommending. I like that the JamJakes came with a charging cable and two extra tips. I got it from Amazon for about $25.
