Kobo Sage - Alternative Stylus Options: Surface Pen & Renaisser Raphael 520C 

Yep, I am at it again trying to see if I can make the Sage work by improving the Stylus experience since the Kobo Stylus was one of the deal breakers for me! Sharing a bit more about the possible MPP (Microsoft Pen Protocol) capable options available alongside the two stylus purchases I have:
- Microsoft Surface Pen - $99 USD Retail, but I believe you can find deals out there. I got mine from Target Online for ~$50 to 55 in early April 2022.
- Renaisser Raphael 520C - $31 USD is the price I came across on Amazon in early April 2022. There are a few different stylus options they offer, but the 520C specifically offers a USB-C port for charging.
I believe there is a Dell "Active Stylus" pen available, but it sounded similar to the experience of the Kobo Stylus so I didn't even look into it.
- Lenovo also has one that should work, but I didn't want to spend ~ $70 USD on a stylus at this point.
I learned a lot of this info on Reddit and MobileRead forums so there is more conversation out there, but I just wanted to share the experience I had since there are not too many videos out there I came across!
