# Huion PW600 series pens

## **Overview**

As of July 2025, the Heion PW600 series is the best non-Wacom pen I've seen. It was good IAF, a wide pressure range, and comes very close to the Wacom Pro Pen 2.

## **Models**

* PW600
* PW600S
* PW600L

## **Pen buttons**

* PW600 has 3 buttons
* PW600S has 2 buttons
* PW600L has 3 buttons

## **Pen button feel**

GOOD. the buttons on these pens have a nicer "crisper" clicking action than the buttons of the PW517 which feel a bit soft/mushy in comparison

## **Pen IAF**

GOOD. Huion says 2gf for these pens. Seems accurate. A little more sensitive than the PW517 pen which is at about 3gf.

## **Pen maximum pressure**

VERY GOOD.

Huion states 500gf. I saw some variance a little bit of variance - not much. Overall the PW600 pens are very consistent.

## PW600 series compatibility with older tablets

The new pens are NOT compatible with older Huion tablets.

## Pen weight

I measured with a digital scale

* PW600 = 16g
* PW600S = 14g
* PW517 = 14g

## **Pen eraser**

the PW600 and PW600S pens do have an eraser. I don't user erasers so don't have any particular comment on it.

The PW600L does NOT have an eraser.

## Pen barrel texture

The older PW517 pen has a rubber grip around the barrel near the buttons.

The PW600 series pen us plastic - but the plastic has a slight texture and feel very slightly soft compared to a more traditional plastic barrel. I found it very pleasant to hold and easy to grip.
