FAQs
Is this pen compatible with my Intuos Pro tablet?
No, the Intuos4 Grip Pen is only compatible with the Wacom Intuos4 tablet series. It will not work with Intuos Pro, Intuos, Intuos2, or Intuos3 tablets.
How do I change the pen nibs?
Gently pull the old nib straight out of the pen. Insert a new nib firmly into the pen until it clicks or feels secure.
What types of nibs are included?
The pen typically includes a standard nib, a stroke nib, a flex nib, and three felt nibs, offering a variety of drawing and writing experiences.
How do I customize the side switches?
Connect the pen to your Intuos4 tablet and open the 'Wacom Tablet Properties' application on your computer. Select the pen and go to the 'Pen Button' tab to assign custom functions to each switch.
Can I use this pen with a computer that doesn't have Wacom drivers installed?
Basic functionality (like cursor movement and clicking) might work without drivers, but pressure sensitivity, tilt, and button customization require the Wacom drivers to be installed and configured.
What is the weight of the pen?
The Wacom Intuos4 Grip Pen weighs approximately 18 grams.
Does the pen require batteries?
No, the Intuos4 Grip Pen is battery-free and uses Wacom's patented EMR (Electro Magnetic Resonance) technology.
