Wacom Tablets & Cintiqs with Compatible Pens

Posted by Stefan Petit on Mar 25, 2020

We recently posted our list of Compatible Wacom Pens for current or past Tablet and Cintiqs, because matching all the Wacom Pens to their respective Tablets can get confusing, especially when trying to find a replacement. This is great if you want to search by the Pen Sku or Model, but check out our new list organized by Tablets/Cintiqs instead!

Wacom devices are great, and most of them can last you a long time, unfortunately the pens usually go out before the tablet itself. Hopefully this list will help all those looking for replacement pens, especially if they are not manufactured anymore.

A general rule is that the Pens are forwards compatible, but not backwards. Most current Pro Pens are cross compatible within their respective generation. And the smaller Intuos (non pro) tablets have specific pens that cannot be used with different tablets or Cintiqs.

Check out our breakdown of most Wacom Tablets and Cintiqs, loosely organized by type and age.

NOTE:
Pens with an 'E' after the SKU denote that it has an Eraser.
If the Cintiq/Tablet SKU prefix contains an 'H' (ie- DTH), it is Touch.
If an 'L' or 'K' is present (ie- CTL or DTK), then it's NonTouch.
Tablets end their SKU with the color (if applicable), ie- K or K0=Black, B=Blue, E0=Pistachio, etc.

________________________________________

Many of the older tablets and their respective pens listed are most likely not sold anywhere. So if you don't see your Tablet listed here, or the Pen you need, chances are you're going to have a real hard time finding replacements, even 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!
