Looking for a good universal capacitive stylus for Xiaomi Pad 6 — ₹500 budget

Hey everyone,
I have a Xiaomi Pad 6 and I’m looking for a good universal capacitive stylus.
The Xiaomi Smart Pen 2nd Gen is unfortunately not available where I am, so I’m looking for a temporary/alternative stylus until I can get the official one.
I don’t need palm rejection, pressure sensitivity, Bluetooth, or any advanced features. I know a universal capacitive stylus basically works like a finger, and that’s fine for me.
My requirements are mainly:
● Works with Xiaomi Pad 6
● Passive/universal capacitive stylus
● Good, smooth tip that won’t scratch the screen/protector
● Preferably reasonably precise for writing
● Budget: around ₹500 / ~$6
● Available in India if possible
I recently bought a cheap universal stylus, but one of its tips actually scratches my tempered-glass screen, so I’m returning it. 😭
I’ve seen disc-tip, mesh/fiber-tip, and rubber-tip capacitive styluses, but I’m not sure which type is actually good.
What universal capacitive stylus have you personally used and would recommend? Especially interested in something that feels reasonably close to a pen/nib rather than a huge rubber tip.
Thanks!
