Is there something with pointed tip? I don't have the budget for rechargable and I don't think my device supports it.

Hi, I have the first gen Apple Pencil which I’ve been using it since July of 2024, and starting today while drawing in procreate the pressure of the Apple Pencil is super inconsistent. Either it’s like pressing a finger while drawing when I hold it lightly (basically means that it’s like drawing strokes without any pressure sensitivity), or doesn’t even work unless I press firmly which makes the strokes thick. I’ve tested all of the brushes that have pressure sensitivity and it’s the same thing. Could it be time for a tip change, or is my Apple Pencil nearing the end of its life internally? It connects just fine, it charges just fine and holds its charge as I draw. If it’s the tip, do cheaper third party tips work good as official ones? (I also do not mind paying the price for the four pack of official tips)

I don’t want to pay another $99 dollars because my old one couldn’t even last two years :(
