I’d like to have a spare stylus for my Librem 11 and there don’t seem to be any for sale in the Purism shop. Has anyone heard of or used any compatible stylus?
Try asking Purism support about more details about the stylus and weather or not you are able to order spares from them.
To elaborate on that … not all spares, replacement parts and other similar items are explicitly listed in the Purism shop. Hence for that kind of requirement you will need to contact Purism directly: support@puri.sm
It’s possible it supports the Universal Stylus Initiative (USI) specification, which would make it easier to find a compatible stylus potentially. A Goodix touchscreen digitizer chipset is used in it and Goodix has been a member since 2016. If it does support USI, it doesn’t sound like it supports the 2.0 version, which has additional features such as NFC wireless charging.

I don’t have a 100% firm answer (we’re still looking into getting additional spare/replacement parts for L11), but I do have some suggestions you can consider
I don’t have any of these devices so I can’t guarantee anything unfortunately.
From some searching I found reports that the GPD Pocket 3 has the same Goodix touchscreen digitizer chipset as L11 (Arch Wiki). There is a good chance that styli for it are compatible. I found a few listings on eBay for it (do not know these sellers) and it looks nearly identical, other than the rounded top. Again I can’t be 100% sure, I don’t know whether it’ll have the magnets, etc., but this is the best idea I have.
