Using apple pencil

Hello everyone :)

Just a quick question:

Can I use the Apple Pencil when my hand’s quite wet? Assuming that I just watched my hand or something.

Thank you!

Apple Pencil Gen-2 Is the Apple Pencil Gen-2 waterproof or water resistant? I dropped mine in a toilet (water was clean) it was under about 2” of water for 30 sec max. Pulled it out and dried it off. Washed it with wet rag. Wiped it down with a alcohol wipe. So far it’s working as before with no issues. I see no sign of water getting inside What do you all think, is it now going to end up as a paperweight, or will it just keep on going. it appears to be a pretty sealed tool. Looks like the only part that could be an issue would be the replaceable tip. Thanks ahead of time for your help.

I really wouldn't for fear that some water droplets could reach into the sensor in the Apple Pencil's removable, unscrew-able tip and may electrically short the sensor or some other series of internal electrical components.

The Apple Pencil is not water-resistant nor water-proof.
