Get 20% off iPad styluses and tips already much cheaper than Apple's

If you recently got an iPad, you probably want a stylus so you can write and draw on it more precisely than you can with your fingertips. But Apple Pencil 2 might set you back $129. So how about something similar for less than half the price?

A good option is the SwitchEasy EasyPencil Pro. Through Friday (February 3), you can get the fourth-gen version of it in the Cult of Mac Store for just $56. Plus you can get 20% off extra tips for different uses. Or you can nab the third-gen EasyPencil for only $48. See below.
