# Huion PW550 series pens notes

## Overview

These PW550 series of pens offer some of the improvements that made it into the PW600 series of pens in terms of pressure handling.

If your tablet uses a PW517 pen, consider getting the PW550 pen or PW550S pen instead. See: [Upgrading from PW517 to PW550](https://docs.sevenpens.com/drawtab/catalog/pens/huion-pens/upgrading-pw517-to-pw550)
