What you said isn't necessarily correct. http://www.howtogeek.com/177376/not-all-tablet-styluses-are-equal-capacitive-wacom-and-bluetooth-explained/
But thanks for the tablet recommendation, I'll keep that in mind.

Oh, my bad. this is the first I've heard of those! I'm finding lots for iPads, and a few for Samsung products that have that special digitizer I mentioned earlier (such as this), but haven't been able to find one that will work with other Android devices unfortunately.

Yeah, same. That's why I came here. I found only ones for iPad and ones that require a digitizer, but I can never find a decent one for Android that uses Bluetooth for its pressure sensitivity.
Unfortunately, there are no pressure-sensitive styluses for Android right now. In order to measure different pressure levels, the manufacturer of the tablet needs to include a dedicated layer in the screen that registers pressure - so far no Android manufacturer has.Tablets that do support pressure sensitivity (iPad Pro, Microsoft Surface) have that extra layer in the screen, and work in conjunction with certain styluses to offer pressure sensitivity.If you are looking for an affordable tablet that has this functionality, right now the Microsoft Surface 3 (non-pro) offers the best value in my opinion. It's been out for almost a year now, so it's fairly cheap and still offers solid performance as long as you aren't multitasking too much or running hard programs. For two apps side-by-side it works great, but more than that will cause slowdowns on the 2GB of RAM version.Edit: I stand corrected, see below
