I bought one from Taobao. Stopped working after dropping a few times. Works well at first. Charging was a hassle though as you need additional box. No pressure sensor too.

Ended up getting the original and that’s my recommendation to you too. Don’t bother with the 3rd party ones as they don’t last.

what does tilt sensitivity mean
It means it is able to determine whether to have the pencil draw thicker lines when it is tilted, or narrower lines when written straight on the screen. Just like how you use an actual pencil, when you use the pencil at an angle (tilted), more carbon is in contact with the paper, thus, a thicker line is drawn as compared to writing straight down.

Apple pencil can distinguish the difference. Useful for painting, and drawing.
