    I'd been wondering about Penabled equipment, and what is compatible.

    Wacom's own site is a little obscure about this, some parts state that Penabled is the name for their Tablet PC technology, some parts now imply it's the name for wacom pen technology in general.

    my interest peeked further when I saw both that people looking at Penabled Tablet PC pens on Amazon, apparently ended up buying Graphire pens instead, and the tablet PC driver, and graphire driver are one in the same.

    Intuos Pens (intuos2 anyway) do NOT work on Penabled Tablet PC's, but the Intuos range uses a different (and far superior) driver.

    So, what experience do people have of pens that definately DO work?



    The Penabled Cross pen is a given, I think it's a great shame they don't have 2 buttons like the Intuos Pens. (trying to find a good 2 button pen so I have the same functionality as my Intuos on my TabletPC was my primary motivation)

    Intuos2 = Doesn't work.

    Graphire - sometimes listed as Penabled, do they work?
    Bamboo - some of the current PR implies it's 'enabled, and it shares a driver with the Graphire also, can anyone try the pen out?

    any others ?

    Thanks!
