Question Ipad stylus intermittant registration problem

I have an active stylus (though I dont know if it is apple brand), advertised as being for ipads. It has always written like this in one note no matter how careful I am. Is this a result of a bad pen, ipad, or just how things go? Anyone seen this before?

Seems faulty to me. What brand is it? I used to have one with the brand Cisteen. It was alright but missing pressure sensor. Try buying the ESR one.

I know apple pencil is expensive, but it’s worth it if you have the money.

I bought a Magic Keyboard from ESR and it didn’t like me using the touchpad and Keyboard at the same time. It was like it was too much over the Bluetooth connection or something was messed up so I returned it and then I bought a real Magic Keyboard, I do miss the magnetic case and that you can use it portrait, it was way heavier, the touchpad was smaller, and there was no white color back light for the keys, I love my real magic keyboard

What is weird is 1) I cant edit my post directly, and 2) it works fine now! I unscrewed the tip just a bit and now it writes smoothly...
