Apple Pencil pairing with iPad 10th gen

I figured out how to pair my first gen Apple Pencil with my iPad 10th generation. After trying in vain i called Apple and they tried to help me but even after calling three times and all the help I was told to send in my new iPad which i didn’t want to do. I ended up trying a brand new Apple Pencil to C adapter. They are a little longer and fit tighter than the original one that came with the pencil. It worked immediately. The old adapters are the issue!!!

See:

Pair Apple Pencil with your iPad - Apple Support

The first generation Pencil is charged and paired from iPad10 using the iPad charging cable - and an Apple USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter:

New first generation Pencils now ship with this special adapter in the box along with the Pencil. However, some older stock purchased from retailers may lack the USB-C to Lightning adapter - and may instead have an older Lightning to Lightning Adapter.

For owners of older first generation Pencils, or for “old stock” new Pencils, the new special adapter can be purchased directly from Apple as an accessory.
