# 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;"></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 their 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 just by typing in the name or model number of a pen or tablet and it can 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 lists 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.&#x20;
