Wacom One 2019 GEN1 Pen (CP-913) notes

Overview

The Wacom One Pen (CP-913) was released in 2019 and came with the Wacom One 2019 GEN1 (DTC-33) which was one of Wacom's consumer pen display.

This pen is a very "consumer" pen, and it has a OK pressure performance

Pressure > Initial Activation Force

The IAF you experience with the CP-913 depends on which device you use it with:

With a Wacom device, this pen has a relatively high IAF for a Wacom pen. Thus it requires more force to register a stroke.

With a Samsung Galaxy Tab S device, the IAF is GOOD and comparable to a lot of other pens, but not as good as a wacom pro pen.

I measured 4 CP-913 units. Their maximum pressures varied between 250gf to 350gf. This buts them in the OK range.

Buttons

This pen has only a single button.

CP-913 versus Wacom's professional pens

This pen as OK performance but is absolutely not as good as Wacom's Pro Pens such as the Wacom Pro Pen 2 (KP-504E).

Two things separate this pen from Wacom's Pro Pens:

  • IAF

  • Buttons

Wacom CP-923 pen

This successor pen, CP-923, is awful. See my notes: Wacom One 2024 Pen (CP-923)

The CP-913 can be used with several Wacom and non-Wacom tablet

  • Wacom One (DTC133W0A)
