Extremely sorry if this is the wrong space for this. I'm a first time poster here, long time browser.
In traveling I brought my ModBook tablet (the alternative was shipping it, I'm moving to a new place) and I ended up losing my modbook pen. It's not held super well by the casing I guess, so I don't want to hate myself too hard, but now I'm penless and cant use the tablet.. I was wondering if anybody would know fitting alternatives that function and fit in the tablet the same way. I assume I'm unfortunately screwed and I'll just toss it out, because I can't seem to find anything that would work.
 
What have you tried so far? Looking at the Modbook specs I would assume any Wacom compatible stylus would work.

I have little experience, nor any on hand stylus.. so im moreso searching up rn. the main problem is finding out one with a. 1:1 layout, and at least similar-ish shape..
The cth-661 seems to have a very similar pen, but im unsure if i should go and buy a pen or even full tablet just for it yet.
 
You would just need a stylus, doing a quick search on Amazon for Wacom stylus brings up multiple options.

The Modbook is built using a Wacom tablet, so any Wacom compatible stylus should work.

It's moreso actually finding a replacement that actually fits back into the modbook and has the same functionality.

I don’t think it’s as simple as a "Wacom compatible stylus”. There have been many different Wacom styluses over the years for different tablets which are not cross-compatible.

Edit: Pretty please don’t "toss it out”, I imagine there are a limited number of Modbooks in existence. Fwiw, I would gladly pay the cost of shipping for you to send it to me, although hopefully it won’t come to that.

Edit2: Wikipedia says the Modbook used an "Axiotron Digitizer Pen”. Is it this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/116348242255
