Using pencil as a stylus

I am wondering if there is a cap or something like a cap that can be put on the pencil so that it can be used as a stylus

I need to clarify because “stylus” is misleading what I mean. I would like to use my pencil to “touch” like my finger.

I have inexpensive ones that have the “soft” touch part on one end and that is what I am looking for to be able to use my pencil as pencil and be able to scroll and select with the soft part instead of putting the pencil down to use my finger as I am doing now. If I would be able to turn off the pencil to use it to scroll and swipe and turn it on to write, scribble, draw would be great. If it’s not possible to purchase a soft “cap” for the non-useable end I’ll just have to be content using the pencil as is and use my finger to swipe up and to scroll.

thank you for reading and replying
