Huion PW600 series pens

Overview

As of July 2025, the HUion PW600 series is the best non-Wacom pen I've seen. It was good IAF, a wide pressure range, and comes very close to the Wacom Pro Pen 2.

Models

• PW600

• PW600S

• PW600L

Pen buttons

• PW600 has 3 buttons

• PW600S has 2 buttons

• PW600L has 3 buttons

Pen button feel

GOOD. the buttons on these pens have a nicer "crisper" clicking action than the buttons of the PW517 which feel a bit soft/mushy in comparison

Pen IAF

GOOD. Huion says 2gf for these pens. Seems accurate. A little more sensitive than the PW517 pen which is at about 3gf.

Pen maximum pressure

VERY GOOD.

Huion states 500gf. I saw some variance a little bit of variance - not much. Overall the PW600 pens are very consistent.

Pen	7P Inventory ID	Max Pressure
PW600	HU1014	~550gf
PW600	HU1017	~500gf
PW600	HU1016	~460gf
PW600S	HU1010	~510gf
PW600L	HU1018	~550gf

Pressure response

PW600 series compatibility with older tablets

The new pens are NOT compatible with older Huion tablets.

Pen weight

I measured with a digital scale

• PW600 = 16g

• PW600S = 14g

• PW517 = 14g

Pen eraser

the PW600 and PW600S pens do have an eraser. I don't user erasers so don't have any particular comment on it.

The PW600L does NOT have an eraser.

Pen barrel texture

The older PW517 pen has a rubber grip around the barrel near the buttons.

The PW600 series pen us plastic - but the plastic has a slight texture and feel very slightly soft compared to a more traditional plastic barrel. I found it very pleasant to hold and easy to grip.
