    Well, after several days of searching, it seems that my little brother hid my Wacom pen somewhere where it won't be found for a long time. So now I need a new one. The problem is I have looked at buying a new one and it would be around $30, which is about half what I paid for my little Bamboo tablet anyways. I'm wondering if there's any way to make my own or if I will just have to fork out the cash. Any suggestions?

    I've tried a PDA stylus, a magnetized screw(just to see if that would do anything), a normal pen, and nothing has worked so far.

    As it is a Wacom Tablet, you will need to request a replacement one from Wacom themselves.

    If you tell me the model number and size of your tablet I can help you find one online, but chances with that are going to be very slim as well..

    All the things that Newegg has as a pen for Wacom Tablets: Here

    The ONLY Pen Currently Available is: This One

    As for the others they are sold out.

    Sorry but no one can help you here unless you post the model number and the size, but mostly you will need to get it from Wacom themselves.

    No other pen will work as far as I know. Believe me I have tried, I had a Intuotos, and even the old Graphire 4 pen that I had lying around did not work with it :( ... So I had to get a new tablet because the pen is almost $100 and my tablet was $199 so yeah ..

    As far as I know they use certain signatures within the memory of the pen ..hence the pressure sensitivity..which probably does not allow usage on other tablets

    Dang this sucks.
    Thanks for the help though.
    Guess I'm never leaving it where my little brother could get a hold of it again.
