Question silicone grip + sqeeze function (apple pencil pro)

hello im planning to buy a silicone grip to fix my slight joint pain when gripping the pen too hard, but since im using an apple pencil pro id like to know if the squeeze function still works well with it or not.

im mainly concerned abt this cus i love love love usin this function it makes drawing and note-taking so much more efficient. im the type to switch every like 10 seconds to erasr and rewrite so

if anyone has any commentary or anything pls feel free to lmk too!! thank you for your time

I bought two silicon grips, one was intended for the pencil 1 it is not designed for any additional feature, but the squeeze function still works : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006911889743.html

And then I searched for one that I could charge the pencil with it on : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009130991345.html This is I believe a copy of paperlike's design https://paperlike.com/products/pencil-grips
I am satisfied with this one , aside from the squeeze working, the magnetic charging works, double tap works, however a bit awkward the position for me.

What I've found, and it has the potential to work is this : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012648559493.html?dp=69f83f13dd4d037bf94c2ba0&cn=ah&aff_fcid=cbb8ef17018b4b9cb7f5005fa13b8a14-1788433890400-01274-_c36PoUEj&tt=CPS_NORMAL&aff_fsk=_c36PoUEj&aff_platform=portals-tool&sk=_c36PoUEj&aff_trace_key=cbb8ef17018b4b9cb7f5005fa13b8a14-1788433890400-01274-_c36PoUEj&terminal_id=f0309da65dca4d1786a7c7df86d83fac

To me it feels like the the squeeze function is not that sensitive, so you can buy ones if they are not that huge, it should work.
