# Huion PW550 series pens notes
## Overview
The PW550 series of pens offers some of the improvements that made it into the PW600 series 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](/drawtab/catalog/pens/huion-pens/upgrading-pw517-to-pw550.md)
