7P: Wacom One 2019 GEN1 Pen (CP-913)

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

This pen has a relatively high IAF for a Wacom pen. Thus it requires more force to register a stroke. If you've used other Wacom Pens you may be very disappointed in this pen. If you've never used a drawing tablet before It may not be as big an issue.

PEN	IAF	NOTES
Wacom Pro Pen 2	<1gf	EXCELLENT
Apple Pencil GEN2	<1gf	EXCELLENT
Typical non-Wacom EMR pen	3gf	GOOD
CP-913	~5gf	OK

Pressure > Maximum Pressure

I measured 4 CP-913 unites. 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

Next Generation Wacom One GEN2 pen (CP-923)

This successor pen CP-923, is awful. See my notes: 7P notes: Wacom One Pen GEN2 (CP-923)
