7P notes: Wacom One Pen GEN2 (CP-923)
Overview
The new Wacom One Pen: (CP-923)
This is the Wacom One Pen for the Wacom One (Gen 2) tablets. Wacom also shows this on their site as the "Wacom One Standard Pen".
I will refer to this pen as the "Wacom One Pen (Gen 2)"
The Old Wacom One Pen (CP-913)
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
One by Wacom (CTL-472, CTL-672) -> 2048
Intuos (CTL-4100*, CTL-6100*) -> 4096
Wacom One (Gen 1) -> 4096
Wacom One (Gen 2) -> 4096
So no improvements to pen pressure levels. 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
New pen (CP-923) -> 2 buttons
Old pen (CP-913) -> 1 button
Tilt
New pen (CP-923) -> supports tilt
Old pen (CP-913) -> does not support tilt
Compatibility
Backwards compatibility
New pen (CP-923) -> Does not work with Wacom One (Gen 1) (DTC-133) tablet
Forwards compatibility
Old pen (CP-913) -> Does work with new new Wacom One (Gen 2) 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 (Gen 1) tablet and the Wacom One (Gen 2) 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
