Use your pen

Use your pen to interact with your device. This includes drawing, writing, moving items, and activating actions that you assign to pen buttons.

Hold the pen as you would normally hold a pen or pencil. Adjust your grip so that you can press any pen buttons easily with your thumb (recommended) or index finger. Make grip adjustments to avoid accidentally pressing the pen buttons.

Pen tip

• Draw or sign: Draw or sign with the pen tip directly on the device surface.
Note: Pens are pressure-sensitive, so the harder you press, the thicker your lines and the denser the color.
• Move the cursor: Move the pen while holding it slightly above the device without touching the surface.
• Double-click: Quickly tap the device surface twice in the same place with the pen tip.
• Select an item: Tap the device surface once with the pen tip.
• Move an item: Select the item with the pen tip, then slide the pen tip across the device surface to move it.

Pen eraser

For pens that have erasers, flip the pen to the side opposite the pen tip and move the eraser over the area you want to erase, just as you would use the eraser on a pencil.

Pen buttons

Use pen buttons to trigger actions. Customize your pen button settings in Wacom Center by selecting your device in the Devices sidebar, then selecting your Pen.

If your pen button is assigned to a type of click (right-click, double-click, etc.), you activate the click based on your Pen button mode. Pen button mode settings can be found the pen's advanced settings in Wacom Center.
