My second gen Apple Pencil fell and hit the floor pretty hard, it fell vertically so the nib hit the floor directly so the pencil only responds properly when I write vertically but when I tilt the pencil, it doesn’t respond unless I add a little more pressure. Do I need to change the tip or the pencil is just broken
As described, having fallen directly onto the tip of your Apple Pencil, the transducer element (that sits immediately under the replaceable tip) may have suffered damage from the impact.
Try replacing the tip, ensuring that the replacement is screwed snugly into position; you should see a tiny gap, of about the thickness of a sheet of paper, between the tip and pencil body.
If replacing the pencil tip does not resolve this issue, or the tip is not correctly positioned in relation to the pencil body when fitted, then your Pencil is likely to have suffered irreparable damage.

Thank you all who responded to my questions. Thankfully and luckily, the problem was just the nib, I replaced it and my Apple Pencil is fully functional again 🥺❤️
Try changing out the nib first.
If that does NOT solve your Pencil issues, then you may need to replace your Pencil.
Best of Luck to You!
Thanks so much. Yes will try that first
I will try replacing the nib, I’ve ordered two already, I’m only hoping that it’s just the top🥲
Indeed excellent news. Enjoy your Pencil :-)
