Questions & Answers
At the Art Center College of Design, we have Cintiqs, and I'm pretty sure they're the same ones. I took my new pen to school and gave it a try, and it worked perfectly:
That tablet, I believe, is compatible with it.
Yes, if you obtain the necessary driver updates.
Greetings,br> No, it does not. You'll need the Wacom Intuos tablet to go with it, which will set you back around $300. The pen is only compatible with the tablet for which it was designed. It won't even work with Wacom tablets from previous generations. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and have just tried it out. It's not going to work. I hope this information is useful.
Selected User Reviews For Wacom INTUOS4/CINTIQ21 Grip Pen Black, Single
60 artists use Cintiqs for 8 hours a day, and the majority of them use these pens. For these pens, we have a 25% annual failure rate. The most common issues are that the button stops working, the pen becomes overly sensitive (draws even when the pen is not touching the screen), or the pen simply breaks apart. If you've ever seen the tiny circuit board and wire inside these pens, you'll understand how delicate they are. br>br>I'm usually wary of users who bring me broken hardware (i. e. Despite the fact that this fragile pen has a spotty track record (coffee spilled on keyboard), the pen's track record is undeniable. I've got a fistful of these pens ready to go to the recycling center. Wacom needs to come up with a more dependable solution. br>br>Because we don't have any other option, we'll have to purchase more.
I mean, it's fine and all, and I needed one, but these things are absurdly overpriced. For sixty dollars, you get a small piece of plastic with a couple of sensors and some rubber around the grip. Really? For this price, there are companies that sell complete tablet/stylus packages of reasonable quality. The company simply recognizes that when you buy one of these, you're desperate, and they're willing to overcharge you for it.
Sure, 2048 levels of sensitivity is a cool gimmick, but the difference between this and 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity isn't discernible. It's a pain in the rear, especially when you consider the STILL $70 price tag for a tablet pen that's been around for over two generations. The Wacom Intuos 4 tablet has a number of flaws, but this review is focused on the pen, not the tablet. In the most likely scenario, you're reading this because, like so many others, you tried to clean your pen and it snapped in half. Because the glue that holds the pieces together is /really cheap/, you can easily tear the pen in half by rubbing it against your shirt, a cloth, your pantleg, or whatever you want to clean it off with. This is my third pen since purchasing my intuos 4 in 2009, when the tablet was first released. Despite some dying pixels on the glowing buttons, the tablet has been a good friend to me and is still going strong. Pens, on the other hand, are a pain. This pen has a great feel to it, but it also draws attention to itself - all- Everything was filthy, including all the dust, all the slime from hands, and everything else. and because it's so delicate, you can't drop it on the tile or wood floor, or clean it without making it hypersensitive. br>br>I'll admit that I've been using my tablet every day for ten years. Since 2010, I've been working for 15 hours every day. Because art is my profession, I need a tablet that can keep up with me. This pen and tablet is a solid performer, but it's one of those that looks great right out of the box but doesn't age well.
It's a decent pen, but it's unnecessarily expensive, given that you know it doesn't cost Wacom much to make, and you're pretty much forced to buy a replacement when it breaks (and they WILL break with heavy use). I'm a graphic designer, and over the course of a year or so, I've had two pens basically disassemble themselves. Wacom appears to be the type of company that recognizes that it produces a proprietary product for a niche market and, as a result, isn't particularly motivated to improve it, which appears to work for them. So, overall, I'd say you did a good job.
The new stylus and accessories (on the left) and the factory stylus and accessories (on the right) are shown in comparison in the photos. br>br>Because it just arrived today, my review is tentative; I'll update it after some heavy use in a few weeks. With a few notable exceptions, the new and old are nearly identical (except that the new one works while the old one does not because it was damaged during a move). The most notable of which is that this set does not include a NIB EXTRACTOR! KEEP YOUR OLD HARDWARE DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU WILL NEED YOUR OLD NIB EXTRACTOR! It comes with four pen nibs (one already installed), three brush bibs (which I had already swapped on the new one before taking pictures), and a stand; however, there is no replaceable colored ring for the end of your stylus, and no instructions/manual/warranty/or paperwork of any kind. The matte finish and the grippier textured bottom (though the difference in grip is nearly undetectable) are two features I like about the new stand. br>br>I gave it a quick 5-minute run in Photoshop, and both buttons and the "eraser" are functional. That was also great because I didn't have to do anything to make it work (no updates or pairing). br>br>Overall, I'm happy with what I've seen so far. It works with my old Intuos 4 (and I'm ecstatic that I don't have to buy a new one because the stylus broke).
I'm not sure if it's a knockoff, but I certainly didn't receive what I was expecting.
My original pen for my Cintiq Pro 24" broke recently, but I discovered that my old Intuos Pro pen also worked with my Cintiq, so I ordered this pen as a backup (which I'm pretty sure is the same as my old Intuos pen) because it's $20 less than the actual Cintiq pen replacement. My Cintiq model was not listed on the compatibility sheet in the item description above, but it works perfectly for me! I dislike how expensive these pens are, but if you need to save $20, this is a good option. This is also a Wacom pen, so it's genuine and not a knockoff. It includes a pen stan as well as 6 replacement nibs (3 regular and 3 springy). If you're wondering, it doesn't come with the tool for removing nibs, but most people already own one if they're purchasing a replacement pen. br>br>A special thanks to Amazon for getting it to me so quickly. I placed my order at 10 p. m. , and it arrived at 7 a. m. the next morning. I was completely blown away.
