Wacom One 2023 Standard Pen (CP-923) notes

Overview

Wacom introduced this pen in 2023. It is a terrible pen. Because of of how it handles pressure. I prefer using the Wacom One Pen 2019 GEN1 (CP-913) instead.

Officially the name of the CP-923 pen is "Wacom One Standard Pen" but that name is confusing so I will call it one of the following names:

• Wacom One Pen GEN2 pen

• Wacom One 2023 pen

• CP-923 pen

The Old Wacom One Pen (CP-913)

Below is the old Wacom One Pen (CP-913). It is better than the CP-913. It only has one button but the pressure handling is a bit better.

Pen support

• All the Wacom One (Gen 2) tablets are compatible with the new Wacom One Pen (Gen 2).

• This is good. It eliminates a huge source of confusion around pen compatibility.

Pen evolution

• One by Wacom (CTL-472, CTL-672) -> Wacom Pen 2K (LP-190K)

• Intuos (CTL-4100*, CTL-6100*) -> Wacom Pen 4K (LP-1100K)

• Wacom One Pen (Gen 1) -> CP91300B2Z

• Wacom One Pen (Gen 2) -> CP92303B2Z

Pressure levels

This pen supports 4096 levels of pressure. Same as the CP-913 pen. As a reminder, all you really need are 2048 pressure levels and it is the pressure range that is more important.

Number of pen buttons

• CP-923 -> 2 buttons

• CP-913 -> 1 button

Tilt

• CP-923 -> supports tilt

• CP-913 -> does not support tilt

Compatibility

Backwards compatibility

Wacom lists these tablets as compatible with the CP-923

• Wacom One 12 (DTC-121)

• Wacom One 13 touch (DTH-134)

• Wacom One S (CTC-4110WL)

• Wacom One M (CTC-6110WL)

• Wacom One 2019 (DTC-133)

Note on backwards compatibility with the DTC-133

I tested 3 units of the CP-923 it it works with the DTC-133.

• Note: the CP-923 pen has two buttons, however the Wacom Driver only lets you use 1 button with the DTC-133.

Forwards compatibility

• The old pen (CP-913) does work with new new Wacom One 2023 GEN2 tablets

Samsung Galaxy S compatibility

• I confirmed both pens (CP-913, CP-923) work with the Samsung Galaxy S8 Ultra.

• I confirmed that the Samsung S Pen works with both the Wacom One 2019 GEN1 tablet and the Wacom One 2023 GEN2 tablets

Serious Pressure problems

• The CP-923 pen has issues with low pressure. See this video: https://youtu.be/415ngQOHiME

• The CP-913 does not have these issues
