Things I have used are either end (retracted) of an ink pen, my fingernail, an orange wood stick, either end of a pencil, the tip of a key, the guitar pick stylus that came with the unit, the handle of a fingernail clipper, and a BST126 plastic pry bar with the pointy end filed to be more blunt. There may have been others but that's all that come to mind.

On the left is a stylus I bought at Dollar Tree for, you guessed it, a dollar.? Besides being a stylus, it has a pen in it, plus a red pointer LED and? white flashlight LED.? Unfortunately, they tend to come apart unless you crimp it to make it tighter, or tape them together, or whatever.

If I got it at Dollar Tree, it was, of course, a dollar.? If I got it at Office Depot, I probably bought a package of several of them for a few dollars.? I kind of like this one because the eraser is small enough that I'm not likely to hit several buttons at once, or hit the wrong button by mistake.
