My Apple Pencil (which i just got 3 days ago) has been working great until last night. All of a sudden I had to start pressing extremely hard to get any feedback from it. Help!!
iPad Pro, iPadOS 13
Before looking too deeply for a technical fix, let’s start with an easy mechanical check. Is the tip of the Apple Pencil tightly/firmly screwed on?
If only slightly loose, this can have significant impact upon function and reliability of your Pencil.

Did you happen to drop the Pencil? Dropping the Apple Pencil can lead to tip damage, and can affect its performance. Dropping the Pencil is like dropping your piece of toast with butter and jam. It will always fall jam side down on the floor. The Pencil always seems to land on the tip.
2018 Pro 11 with glass screen protector. My only question with the screen protector idea is why would it have all of a sudden changed when it was working great for the first 3 days..? No I have never dropped it.
Can you provide some additional detail as to the model of your iPad Pro? Are you using a screen protector?
The 2018 (3rd Generation) and 2020 (4th Generation) iPad’s Pro are known to been particularly “fussy” or unreliable when using some screen protector products.
Hmm... Seems better, but still not like it had been...

That’ll be Apple’s superior aerodynamics at work.
Aeroplanes always (usually) fly with the tip pointing in the direction of flight. 🙂
😂
Apple Pencil not working unless I press extremely hard...
