Is it possible to use 1 pencil on several iPads Pro?

One magic wand to rule them all!

(without having to pair the pencil every time with the iPad to get focus on...)

iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 11.2.5, null

I use mine with a 12.9” first gen iPad Pro and a current model 10.5”. Of course, as mentioned, yes, you need to pair it with each device before you use it with that device. It can only be paired to one at a time and has no way to change which one without plugging it into the lightening port and pairing it. It’s not a big deal to me and only takes a moment to switch devices.
