Does the direction of the apple pencil 2 matter when attached to the iPad?

I’ve always kept the pencil with the side pointing towards the volume buttons, but recently with the new case it’d be better to keep it the other side


Is there any problem in doing so? It seems to work nonetheless but i wanted to ask anyway

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

The second generation Apple Pencil can be docked with compatible models of iPad in either orientation.


Provided the Pencil is aligned with the inductive charging dock, it makes no difference at all to the Pencil or its charging efficiency.
