Wacom Digitizer: While we're waiting, I have a question, is the Wacom Digitizer compatible with all the pens?

I picked up an ep121 at fry's in concord last week, I have a CINTIQ 21UX, and I'm employed as a character artist. The cintiq pen and intuos pens won't work on it as people have already said. The pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop, i think there's a driver fix for this but i haven't bothered with it. Photoshop works best with a keyboard/keypad anyways. Alias sketchbook pro will be your friend. The brushes work great and the program is stroke based. 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, it depends on the artist. It's fine for me, I don't know that my arm has 256 levels of pressure. The line quality is good and it's responsive while drawing. Awesome device for drawing on the go, or sitting on the couch. Any serious work you'll probably want to use a standard computer, but no reason you shouldn't be able to do great things on the ep121. Battery life i get around 3-4.5 hours depending on use. I hope they start shipping these things out to you all soon, I'm loving mine! ps. This thing also runs zbrush pretty well. although it's pointless to try to use zbrush with a resolution os 1200x800, the menu's are too filling. But, it CAN handle a million polygons without much problem. I didn't try maya on it yet. If anyone's interested i can give it a shot.

The type of digitizer is different allowing for the use of the stylus. You can't use a stylus without a special type. I think there is some S pen software, but other than that nothing.

The surface is designed to accept the friction of the pen. Wacom does not sell additional overlays for these models. A 3rd party one may be used, and anything non-metallic should not affect the pen response. It may, however, have an affect on multi-touch input.

I believe it's the digitizer and not the pen that makes this model cheaper. I think another pen would work, and the touch screen on this model works well, but not as well as the model with the better digitizer. It isn't just missing the pen, it has a different screen. I think. I am far from a professional.

The stylus/digitizer is by ntrig, which does not have a good reputation for working well with PhotoShop. I've tried it myself and it doesn't work except as a simple mouse pointer.

I'm not sure, but since its bamboo it might work. Another thing i should mention is that if your old pen from the original tablet is not working. you might want to try downloading an update on http://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers/ .My old pen starting working after the update.

Yes, as long as you install a newer driver (can be found on the wacom site) on your computer

I don't really understand the question. I bought the pen because I misplaced the original one that came with a Wacom tablet I haven't tried it yet.

I use a wacom w/ rubber nib with mine.(I sometimes call the nib a "nibble". Im too funny.

The pro (which I use) and the pro 2 have the same digitizer, so it should work. As for accuracy, I draw on my pro. The original pen was a bit painful to use. You may notice it is tuned so that you cannot see the virtual contact point when using it. It appears behind the nib point. The feel is completely different. I find it provides a much more natural feel on my pro. Since mine arrived, I have not used the included pen once. Your experience may vary based on your needs but I consider it a vast improvement. For a tablet that costs nearly a thousand dollars, this was a seemingly cheap upgrade that completely changed my experience. I think MS should just pack these in.

Thank you so much for letting us know! And sorry to hear about the disappointment... seems so silly of Wacom to do this to us. If there is no texture difference what is the point of having a standard and clear version? The tablet is black anyway. ^^;

This does not work with s-pen or any other wacom digitizer. It DOES work with the Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet.

Hi, no. These are just the nibs for the Wacom pen tool and not for tablet stylus.

No, surface pro uses wacom's "penabled" tech, which is not compatible with the intuos pens.

Nope, this only works on devices with a huion digitizer. Search amazon for a wacom pen to find pens that work with the surface pro 1.

I ordered the one that's supposed to come with it. It won't work with a Wacom pen, different system. The one you use with this tablet takes batteries.

I certainly hope so. The specifications indicate that it should be pressure sensitive with replaceable nibs etc.. I wonder if Wacom is working on a project like this under their own roof.
