My wife uses one that looks like that. It seems to be metal to me, and she has no complaints. I use the various dirt cheap plastic ones, and haven't had an issue with the feel, but I only use it occasionally.
(I keep mine in an adhesive pen holder, and I once wound up with some of the excess adhesive on the stylus...could something similar have happened to you? Could the stickyness have transferred from somewhere? You could also try lightly sanding the barrel to give it a less suction-y smooth finish.
