7P notes: Wacom One 2023 Pen GEN2 (CP-923)

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 two following names:
Wacom One Pen (GEN2)
CP-923
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 much better.
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.
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
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.
New pen (CP-923) -> 2 buttons
Old pen (CP-913) -> 1 button
New pen (CP-923) -> supports tilt
Old pen (CP-913) -> does not support tilt
New pen (CP-923) -> Does not work with Wacom One (Gen 1) (DTC-133) tablet
Old pen (CP-913) -> Does work with new new Wacom One 2023 GEN2 tablets
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
The CP-923 pen has issues with low pressure. See this video: https://youtu.be/415ngQOHiME
The CP-913 does not have these issues
