Wacom Pen Compatibility & Replacements

Posted by Stefan Petit on

Matching all the Wacom Pens to their respective Tablets can get confusing, especially when trying to find a replacement. A general rule is that the Pens are forwards compatible, but not backwards. And most current pens are cross compatible within their respective generation. So you can use a Grip Pen on an Intuos 4, 22HD, and a Cintiq Pro (forwards/cross compatible). However, a Pro Pen 2 can't work on an Intuos 4/5, but it can work with a Pro Cintiq and Intuos Pro (2017 models).

Usually the smaller Intuos (non pro) tablets have specific pens that cannot be used with different tablets or Cintiqs. Ive noticed this has confused some people, especially when trying to get a new Pen for an older tablet, like a Bamboo, which they don't make anymore.

Check out our breakdown below of each Wacom Pen, what they work with, and where to get them!
And alternatively, check out our list of Wacom Tablets/Cintiqs. This list shows most, if not all, of Wacom's products and each Pen they are compatible with.


NOTE:
Pens with an 'E' denote that it has an Eraser.
Whether it ends in 'K' or '0K' is irrelevant to compatibility matching.

If you don't see the Pen you need for your tablet listed here, chances are they don't manufacture that specific pen anymore. But you might have some luck on Craigslist or eBay.

I will try to keep this list updated as new Pens, Tablets, and Cintiqs are released. Let us know if you think we missed anything!

___

Need to retire the old tablet? Browse all of our new Wacom Cintiqs & Tablets HERE!
Need help choosing a new Cintiq or Tablet? Call 323.957.9557 for help!

Looking for nib replacements? Wacom has a huge selection for most of their Pen models HERE.
But not all nibs are created equal. The Pro Pen 2 (and newer pens) use different smaller nibs compared to the Grip Pen and its generation.

Purchased a new Pen? You also might be interested in the Viking Wacom Pen Holder!

  • Hey @Kirill, so when that first pen and the ctl490 came out, the tablet could only use up to 1024 levels. But when the 672’s came out, the tablet supports 2048 and thus so does the pen. So this pen is compatible to both but only limited by those 2 tablet’s levels.

    Machollywood on
  • INTUOS PEN – LP190K with 1024 levels of pressure, how can it be? Why than the tablet have 2048 pressure levels?

    Kirill on
  • I want to buy a stylus for a Wacom DTK-2241
    Do you have one?

    Ozzbod on
  • It would be a wonderful revelation if Wacom could make a comprehensive list that would break down which Wacom are compatible with the Acer Switch 7 Black Edition touch screens divices…
