I've been using the SIXFU replacement tips for my Apple Pencil 2nd gen for about a month now, and they've completely transformed my iPad experience. The variety in this set is incredible - it's like having six different tools in one.
The metal ballpoint tip has become my go-to for note-taking. It glides so smoothly across my PaperLike screen protector, giving me that perfect pencil-on-paper resistance without any scratchiness. I can actually hear the satisfying 'scratch' sound as I write, which makes digital note-taking feel surprisingly authentic.
When I switch to Procreate for illustration work, I alternate between the transparent long metal tip (perfect for precise line work where I need to see exactly where my stroke will land) and the medium length pen-like tip (which gives me better control for shading). The metal tips do show more texture from my screen protector, which some might find distracting but I actually prefer - it makes my strokes feel more intentional.
Installation couldn't be simpler - just twist off the old tip and twist on a new one in seconds. After weeks of heavy use (I'm talking 4-5 hours daily), none of the tips show any wear, and they haven't damaged my screen protector at all. The included storage box keeps everything organized when I'm switching between different tip styles.
If you're someone who uses your Apple Pencil heavily for either work or creative projects, this affordable set gives you way more versatility than Apple's single-style replacements. My only minor complaint? I wish they'd included two of each style since I tend to lose small accessories!
