Compatible Stylus? Cp-315

I hate the terrible clunk of a capacitive stylus, very difficult to use given how I hold a pen. This is on the Spin 15 chromebook. I was wondering if there is a fine tip stylus (active is just fine, I don't mind paying extra for it) that will work for handwritten note-taking for school. The issue is that capacitive styluses (styli, styuli?) have a very flat and hard to maneuver plastic pieces that constantly get in the way of accurate pen strokes.

    Hey, thank you for your reply! Unfortunately my computer, the Spin 15, isn't listed here. I see the 311 listed, the sister to the CP-315, but I'm aware there are auxiliary difference between the two that could include active stylus support.

    the Old resistive styli, like those available 10 for $2 on eBay, won't work. You need capacitive styli which you can still get on eBay (or elsewhere) but for a little bit more.

    The models in the CP-3 lineup will have an N in the model number (CP311-1N as an example) if they support an active stylus. The only model like yours I see is the CP315-1H, so no active stylus will work. There are some capacitive pens that have a clear plastic tip that's wide enough to trigger. The tip has a center swivel post that the pen body attaches to and you can see the screen under.
