SIXFU Upgraded Tips for Apple Pencil (Mix Replacement Tips for Apple Pencil 1/2, USB‑C, Pencil Pro) — 6 Pack
Product description
If your Apple Pencil tips are getting scratchy, uneven, or just not matching how you like to write and draw, this 6-pack of SIXFU replacement tips is built for that exact “swap and keep creating” moment. It’s a set of metal nib tips designed to replace worn Apple Pencil-style tips, with a mix of lengths so you can choose the feel you want for longer design sessions or more controlled sketching.
Worth noting right away: you don’t get the Apple Pencil itself—only replacement tips and a small storage box. Also, “compatible” here is based on the product’s stated support for Apple Pencil Pro / USB-C / 1st gen / 2nd gen and the Logitech crayon digital pencil, so if you’re not sure which tip style you currently have, it’s smart to double-check before ordering.
Key takeaways
On paper, SIXFU’s pitch is straightforward: keep a pen-like feel, maintain sensing behavior (pressure and tilt), and make tip changes fast. The set mixes different tip lengths—two longer, one medium, and additional pieces for variation—so you’re not locked into a single nib height.
The “best case” use is when you want consistent, clean strokes without constantly replacing your whole stylus. For people who do a lot of writing or professional-style design work, having spare tips ready can be a practical move, not just an accessory add-on.
What’s different about this tip set
This set is positioned as an upgrade over generic replacements in three areas: control, longevity, and sensing behavior.
First, the tips are described as wear-resistant with a pen-like design. That matters if your current tips are already showing signs of wear—uneven line quality and a rougher feel are common reasons people hunt for replacements.
Second, the “mix” set includes longer and shorter options plus one tip in the original Apple-like shape. The longer tips are meant to provide more precise control while the shorter/standard shape is intended for people who want to stay close to the original nib size and appearance. If you’re the type who gets used to one specific feel, the inclusion of an original-shape option can help you avoid having to relearn your stroke.
Third, it claims the same pressure sensing and tilt sensing, along with uninterrupted writing—so you’re not forced into a “works, but feels different” tradeoff. In real life, that tends to be the difference between a replacement you tolerate and one you actually keep using.
Key features that affect day-to-day use
Installation is designed to be quick: twist on/off for the Apple Pencil-style tips, and for the silencing tip protector, it only needs to be pushed in tightly against the Pencil tip. That’s helpful if you’re switching tips based on the surface you’re using or how you want the line to look.
There’s also a focus on how the tip interacts with film and tempered film surfaces. If you draw on screen protectors, this is the kind of detail that can prevent frustration—some replacements feel fine on bare glass but behave differently once a protector is involved.
One limitation to keep in mind: the set includes a “mini buckle storage box,” which is nice for keeping extras together, but it also means the tips are still small parts. If you’re prone to losing tiny accessories, handle with care.
Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
It suits you if you:
- Want extra replacement tips for Apple Pencil Pro / USB-C / 1st gen / 2nd gen (and also the Logitech crayon, per the listing)
- Prefer a metal tip feel and want better control when writing or drawing
- Like having multiple nib lengths so you can match your stroke style to the task
- Need a fast way to refresh your stylus setup without changing the whole device
You may want to skip it if:
- You only want one exact tip feel and don’t care about mixing lengths
- You’re expecting the Apple Pencil itself (it’s not included)
- You’re unsure which tip style matches your current stylus—compatibility matters with nib systems, and mismatches can be annoying

Everyday use tips
A simple way to get the most from a mixed-length set is to treat tip selection like a “mode change.” For example, if you’re doing sketching where you want crisp, smaller-looking strokes, start with the fine point option. When you move to longer writing or sustained drawing sessions, the longer options may feel more controlled depending on your personal grip and how your screen protector behaves.
If you switch between different paper-like screens (film vs tempered film), you may notice the tip’s feel changes less with this set than with basic replacements—at least that’s the intention behind the sensing and surface-focused description.
Is it worth it?
This is a solid pick if you want spare metal nibs and a mix of tip lengths for Apple Pencil-style use, especially if you care about maintaining pressure/tilt sensing and a pen-like feel. The inclusion of an original-shape option is a smart touch for anyone who doesn’t want their strokes to look noticeably different.
But it’s not the best match if you’re expecting everything included (the Apple Pencil isn’t included) or if you’re not confident you have the right tip system for your specific stylus model. In that case, take a moment to confirm fit first—wrong tips waste time and money, and no set of replacement nibs can fix that.
