I have bought a Christmas a 2nd Gen Ipad Pro and a 2nd gen Pencil.
Are they compatible? Do you get all the functionality from the pencil?
Should i swap thwe 2nd gen pencil for an original, it is still boxed.
Thanks
Sorry, no.
The second generation Apple Pencil is only compatible with the 2018/2020 models of iPad Pro - and the newest fourth generation iPad Air (a.k.a. iPad Air4).
Your second generation iPad Pro (with a Home button and Lightning connector) is only compatible with the first generation Pencil.
Here is the full compatibility list for Apple Pencil and iPad:
Apple Pencil (2nd generation)
You can use Apple Pencil (2nd generation) with these iPad models:
Apple Pencil (1st generation)

The 2nd Gen Apple Pencil will be compatible with the iPad Pro 2nd Gen. If you need to get more information, go to compare iPad models and set one of the iPads to iPad Pro 2nd Gen.
It will work if its an 11" Second generation (2020) iPad Pro.
If its a 12.9" Second Generation (2017) iPad Pro it will not work.
Gotta be very specific with iPad models now so as not to get confusing answers.
It will work. Go to the Apple Pencil page and scroll down to Apple Pencil 2nd Gen. I took a screenshot as well.
Will my 2nd gen pencil work with my new 2nd gen ipad pro?
