It has significantly improved my digital art experience, making it more enjoyable and efficient. This pen is definitely worth the investment! Review: YES! Can't live without this pen! Works perfectly AFTER I updated my drivers - I finally managed to kill my old pen, after nearly 2 years of constant abuse. (or however long it's been since Intuos 4 came out) As a graphic designer, I use this pen several hours EVERY day - it has totally replaced my mouse. (And since I began using a graphics pen, I have NO more wrist or hand pain, which was becoming quite a problem with my "mouse-hand") Yesterday, I dropped my pen and, as usual, I picked it up with my toes so I wouldn't have to bend over... Well, this time when I went to grab it from between my toes, I grabbed the top half but the bottom half was stuck between my toes... and I pulled it right apart... $#i+! And all the kings horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty-Dumpty together again. :( SO, since I knew I couldn't live more than 24 hours without it, I ordered yesterday (Friday) and had it sent overnight (only $10 - great deal, really! Not sure if that is the regular overnight shipping rate, or if that is just for Prime members) The Fed-Ex truck arrived fairly early this morning (Saturday) and I was SO happy to have a working pen again... until I sat down to work and... nothing. The pen didn't work with my tablet (Intuos 4, large) Aarggghh! I thought I'd have to call desertcart and say I got a dud, and would be pen-less until at least Monday, probably longer. But I decided to just check out the Wacom site and see if there anything I could find out - and decided to try downloading new drivers - and VOILE' - now it works just perfect! SO - If you buy this pen and it doesn't work right away, be sure to check the Wacom site and update your drivers before giving up on the pen and returning it. As far as the pen and how it works, I LOVE this pen! My previous tablet was one of the earlier Wacoms, and the big fat pen felt like I was holding a sausage. This one is nicely tapered, slim, and has an awesome rubber/soft coating so it is very comfortable to hold, and takes very little strength to hold securely - which is nice, since it is in my hand for several hours every day. It is so comfortable and easy to hold, in fact, that it has completely changed the way I hold ALL pens and pencils, and I no longer have a big callus/lump on my middle finger where I used to, from gripping pens/pencils too tightly. The pen is VERY responsive to pressure changes, tilt, rotation, bearing... pretty much everything! I can see the subtle differences somewhat in photoshop, but especially in Painter, where the brushes are even more sensitive (and realistic) than even the new ones in PS. Changing nibs is very simple and quick to do, though I haven't needed to do it very often, since developing a lighter touch. Also, the surface on my Intuos has gotten quite smooth after many, many hours of use, so the nibs last longer now than they did when I first got the tablet (and original pen). Included with the pen are the stand and some additional nibs - although when I originally bought my tablet, it came with more types of nibs than what comes with this pen replacement. I love my Intuos, and love the grip-pen! Some people say they don't like the "too-fat" grip-pen, and buy the slimmer "upgrade" but I honestly see no reason for it - this one is just fabulous, and is not too fat, IMO. The only reason I would consider "upgrading" is if I needed the additional controls of the art-pen or the airbrush pen, but honestly, I think the standard grip-pen will probably have more than enough responsiveness for 95% of people that use it. Even with the wide variety of brush-work and other things I do, this pen has definitely got everything I need. Good price on desertcart, and I was super-happy to receive it so quickly! ## Features - Cordless, Battery-free - Features 2nd Generation Wacom Tip Sensor with the tilt sensitivity: ± 60 degrees and dimensions (L x D): 6.2” x 0.6” (157 x 15 millimeters) - 3 Standard Black Pen Nibs - Pen Stand - Compatible with: Intuos4, Intuos5, Cintiq 22HD (DTK2200, DTH2200), Cintiq 24HD (DTK2400, DTH2400), Intuos Pro (PTH460K0A, PTH660, PTH860.)

I took my pen that i just bought recently and tried it at the school and it works like a charm :) **Q: Does it work with the intuos pro pth-451 tablet ?** A: Yes I believe it is compatible with that tablet **Q: Does this pen work with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition? The on-board Wacom digitizer pin is a bit on the small side for extended use.** A: HI, No, it does not. You need the tablet that goes with this, which is the Wacom Intuos tablet and will run you about $300. The pen only works with the tablet it was made for and not others. It will not even work on earlier generations of the Wacom tablet. I actually have the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and I just tried it. It is not compatible. Hope that helps! **Q: Does this work with an Intuos5?** A: if you get the driver Update for it yes. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Pen for Artists and Designers *by M***A on February 13, 2025* I upgraded to the Wacom INTUOS4/CINTIQ21 Grip Pen and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

I had to do a bit of research to see which pen models worked with my tablet. It works perfectly, just have to make sure you go thru tha settings to set up the drawing preferences in the way youd prefer. ## Frequently Bought Together - Wacom INTUOS4/CINTIQ21 Grip Pen Black, Single - Wacom Standard Nibs for Digital Pro Pen 2 (10 Pack) (ACK22211) - Wacom KP504E Pro Pen 2 with Case, black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/437185-intuos4-cintiq21-grip-pen](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/437185-intuos4-cintiq21-grip-pen) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-12*
