# Wacom pen compatibility

## Overview

<mark style="color:red;">**NOT EVERY WACOM PEN IS COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY WACOM TABLET.**</mark>

<mark style="color:red;">**ALWAYS**</mark> <mark style="color:red;">contact customer support to verify compatibility before purchasing a pen.</mark>

If you need to find which pen is compatible with your tablet, there are several sources of information.

* Wacom maintains a PARTIAL list of pen and tablet compatibility: [Wacom Accessory Compatibility Matrix](https://wcm-cdn.wacom.com/-/media/files/downloads/accomp/2022/wacomtablet_accessorycompatibilitymatrix_wtc_en_sept2022.pdf)
* I have my own list: <https://thesevenpens.github.io/DrawTabPenCompat/>. This is a very large list that you can search by typing the name or model number of a pen or tablet to find what is compatible.
* Tablet expert Kuuube maintains this list: [Kuuube's Wacom pen compatibility mastersheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UAFPjGj0ThthPBvOSVVwOm08HW3qWtVoP1iFBwLMyPI/edit?pli=1#gid=1665628484). This is the most complete list that exists anywhere.

## 3rd-party pens compatible with Wacom tablets

For almost all Wacom tablets, only Wacom pens work with those tablets. But there are a few exceptions. Some Wacom tablets have compatibility with pens that use Wacom UD EMR tech. See: [Wacom UD EMR](/drawtab/tech/wacom-ud-emr.md). UD EMR pens are not great pens. They are just OK.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sevenpens.com/drawtab/catalog/pens/wacom-pens/wacom-pen-compatibility.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
