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!

  • Amazing article – just realised I bought the wrong pen (LP-190-0K) for my Bamboo. Arghghg

    Brett on
  • This is a great chart, I would recommend making the NOT COMPATIBLE section a different color (perhaps red?) . My mistake completely but I bought the wrong pen after a quick glance using CTRL + F.
