Where to find replacement nibs

The extra nibs are stored in different places for different devices. First, look in the box that your device was packaged in. If you do not see the nibs there, try these places:

• If your pen can be disassembled, nibs can be stored inside the pen.
• If your device included a pen case, check there.
• If your device has a removable compartment cover on the back, slide it open.
• If your device included a pen stand, unscrew the pen stand.
Tip for the Pro Pen 2 stand: To screw the stand back together, line up the dots on the bottom of the stand and the recess. Then, gently guide the bottom of the stand to the right until you feel it click into place.
• If your device includes a pen holder attachment, check there.
• If your device has built-in stand legs, the replacement nibs may be located underneath one of the legs.

If you need more nibs, you can purchase them from the Wacom Store.
