Why is my Wacom pen not working?

Asked a year ago
If your Wacom pen is not working, several factors might be responsible for the issue. Firstly, ensure that your pen has a charged battery or a compatible power source. Additionally, ensure the pen is compatible with your Wacom tablet model and that it is properly paired. If the pen is wireless, make sure it is within range and not blocked by any interference. Check the pen's nib for wear and replace if necessary. For tablets with touch capabilities, disable touch input to ensure the pen is recognized. Updating the tablet's driver software to the latest version might also solve the problem. Lastly, try restarting both the tablet and your computer. If the issue persists, contact Wacom support for further assistance.
