for Wacom Pro and Grip Pen Stylus

Anybody who finds this grip hard to put on is a dummy (like me) and tried to do such without reading the instructions first. Trying to apply this grip without the instructions initially made my life excessively harder; do NOT be like me. Because WITH the instructions, this was way easier -- Who would have thunk it. (PSA: I do have outside accessories that helped me like this product better, and I will list their titles and sellers at the end.) I have a Wacom Pro Pen and I use a Wacom Mobile Studio Pro 16", so I had to remove (permanently, ideally) the silver bit around the two buttons, the washer, and the original grip (as per the instructions... that I did eventually read. Don't be a dummy like me). I really admire the packaging of this product because I could fit all these items in the Ergo cylinder and easily fit it in my pink case I carry my Wacom in, just in case I end up disliking this product in the future or need to return the pen or anything else. It is unobtrusive in my pink case, and I keep the items in question with my back-up washers and pen tips (and instructions and cleaning cloth) that Wacom provided with my original purchase. I don't entirely know if such was a purposeful design choice, but the sturdiness of the packaging along with this convenience charmed me endlessly. I did not want to have to use a ziplock or purchase something similar to hold these items. Giving this silent benefit in exchange for asking for items of your Wacom to be removed was a fantastic idea and I adore it ♡ I will admit I am nervous about my Pro pen's two black buttons being looser without the silver trim around them, but the instructions did not list placing the silver trim back and, quite frankly, I don't imagine it would fit if I tried. So that is some comfort. The grip being too snug around the buttons for the trim to fit back in implies good things about its stability. If I edit this review in the future, I will be sure to mention if this was a further issue. (If I forget to edit it, then that means I'm very likely doing great and this worry was needless.) For now, I'll give my new grip the benefit of the doubt. Like many others, I am not a fan of the color. If the picture didn't allude to it, I like things to match and would have preferred pink or brown (or even black since the pen itself is such) so it could jive with the "color scheme" of what I am traveling with. However, I do recognize that I am an artist and I will likely have spraypaint in my hands in the future for some project or other, or else a peer I can borrow some from will. It's a nitpick and not one worthy of a reduced star. As far as the actual comfortablity of the grip, I am having a far better time with this than what my pen originally came with. I tend to press my pen too hard against the screen; in addition, I have chronic pain issues as part of my disability's symptoms that do impact my wrists. This grip makes Wacom way easier for me to use, period, as well as easier to use for a longer amount of time. It does not impact my ability to draw or interact with my Wacom product at all. So far, I'm greatly enjoying the product and find that it, not only enhances my experience, but betters the Wacom product I have. This is definitely something I'm going to recommend to anyone I know who uses a Wacom! ♡♡♡ --- OUTSIDE ACCESSORIES FEATURED IN REVIEW: --- PINK PADDED CASE: Bought on Amazon, from a seller called "CaseDeer" or "CaseDeer Direct", depending.

Was looking for additional ways to improve the ergonomics of my workspace setup. Since I've been using Wacom tablets instead of a mouse for a pointer, I found that I had a tendency to grip the narrow stylus a bit tightly, causing some tension in my hand. While googling for ergonomic solutions, I came across this Plus Ergo Grip for Wacom Pro. I just got it and swapped out the original grip with this replacement grip. First impressions: It looks like a banana slug is getting a bit friendly with my stylus. :/ But that aside, I like the feel of it. While holding the stylus with the grip, the "bulge" ends up resting under my pointer and middle finger, almost as if cradled. My thumb then naturally fits into the nook formed by the grip to operate the toggle switch. The grip comes in an awesome looking battery shaped cardboard tube container. Definitely a nice touch and it super easy to open. The instruction pamphlet that came with the grip did a great job of explaining how to swap out the grip. Though in my excitement, I forgot to remove the switch before trying to slide my original grip off and the switch went flying... so yeah, something to keep in mind for when someone else gets one. With the Plus Ergo Grip on, it will still sit in the pen holder, so for folks who like using the pro holder, another plus there. I only just got it, so can't comment on long term use yet, but will update this review once I've clocked some time with it. Update: So I've been using it on and off for a couple of days. And here are some additional thoughts: 1) The fit and finish of this silicone grip is a bit loose in the front and in the back. So as a result, there is some bulging on the narrow side because it's not tight to the tube of the stylus like the original Wacom silicone grip is. 2) The opening for the rocker switch is fine, until you screw down the stylus nozzle tip. Once it's screwed in, the front portion of the silicone grip pushes against the rocker switch button, causing difficulties in actuating the rocker switch. 3) The original Wacom silicone grip had a bit of a bridge that slid under the rocker switch. This grip does not have that, so it can be prone to rolling and potentially dislodging the rocker switch. Not sure what can be done about this, but it's something to note. 4) The front portion of the silicone grip isn't thick enough, so when you have the tip of the wacom stylus screwed in, the colored disc is just ever so slightly protruding so if your finger grip slides towards the tip of the stylus/grip, it will rub against the rough edge of the colored disk. Otherwise, it's comfortable and works well.

My co-worker recommended this to me, since I use my Wacom as my main pointing device. I'm a graphic designer who is in and out of Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier, and InDesign all day, and I've switched to using the Wacom instead of a mouse. It was incredibly simple to install (read the directions FIRST) and is holding up well. It's just grippy and squishy enough so that it is stable in my hand, and it adds hardly any weight to my pen. I hold my pen in a looser grip now with the buttons under my index finger. So let's talk price: This pen widget is spendy. I paid $29.99 for a little slip of orange grip. But now I can't work all day without it. So much so that I had to purchase another one for my home office (I'm part-time in-person and part-time remote and all-time buy my own equipment). I no longer have numbness in my right hand at the end of the day, so if I had to, I'd buy it again.

This grip is fantastic. I was really intimidated by it at first as I worried assembly would be difficult, or that the adjustment to holding my pen differently would take a long while to get used to. Assembly took me no longer than five minutes, and I find the grip to be extremely comfortable and got used to it within the first hour of using it. It's honestly not much bigger then my actual pen, yet the grip is notably decreasing the amount of strain I usually put on my fingers. I am unsure how the product will hold up in preventing my RSI from flaring back up, but I can say that the past few days of using it have been awesome. No hand cramping, and it's far more comfortable to hold and draw with for longer periods of time. The price is a little high, but I'd say it's decently worth saving your fingers from cramping :)

So get this - I had left my Wacom Grip Pen on my desk for about a year. I didn't use it - I just set it out - because I switch back and forth between mouse and pen. I was doing ok w the mouse and wasn't designing a lot so I didn't need the heavy duty efforts of the tablet and pen. Well, low and behold, the Grip of my Wacom pen literally MELTED in the sun (the desk only gets morning sun). It was goopy and sticky and was anything that floated in the air next to it had attached itself to the pen. And of course, just the grip part. Just the part you have to hold. I called Wacom and, again of course, it was out of warranty and they wanted me to pay $80 for a new pen. Now, if I would have broken this pen, I would have bought a new one. But it was a malfunction of their own materials so I was pissed! However, thanks to <3 Amazon <3 I found the perfect replacement part for the grip. Now I don't need a new pen! AND I don't get hand cramps the way I used to because of the ergo grip design which stops you from death gripping it into a position that's beyond extremely unnatural like the original pen shape was doing for me. Fast shipping. Great product. Would buy again and recommend to a friend, espesh on in a similar predicament.

This grip works with my Wacom LP1100K 4K Pen for Intuos Tablet Black. Nothing needs to be unscrewed (like in the intended models) and it simply slips on and stays in place (I would need to actively pull the grip and pen apart with two hands, and even then, the pen will not be damaged in the process - see photo). I understand that this item was intended for other models, but the makers and sellers should at least acknowledge that others have reported success with different pens (and perhaps test said pens themselves to make sure). They can acknowledge this fact and simply caution buyers that there is no GUARANTEE that it will work for other pens. The seller's assertion that they simply don't work for other pens, simply isn't true. If you purchased an Intuos Creative Pen Tablet (I have the Intuos Medium Bluetooth model CTL6100WLK0) and it came with this pen (Wacom LP1100K 4K Pen for Intuos ), then this item should work for you. Once you become accustomed to it, it encourages wrist stability and reduces finger/hand fatigue - more than worth the price for even casual users.

This says that it will fit the grip pen and pro pen, but it falls a bit short on the pro pen. Obviously It will not fit the art pen, as the switch cutout is further down the pen on that model. The comfort is nice, but you must use the switch with your thumb. If you are used to using it with another finger, it will not fit in your hand. When using this with the grip pen, it fits rather well. The switch cutout is rectangular, and matches the dimensions of the switch. It is important to remove the colored washer as per the instructions, to prevent the grip from riding up the pen. It does rotate a bit, mainly due to the fact that there is no material under the button to hold it in place (like wacom grips). It is silicone, so it flexes a lot, and you can not use any double sided tape or adhesives. A dab of hot glue after the switch, toward the back of the grip works well enough to hold it in place. When using this with the pro pen, you will find that it does not fit as well. The pro pen is slimmer, so the end of the grip is loose after the switch, as the pen tapers and has less of a flange. Also, the switch is smaller and rounded on the pro pen, and does not fit the rectangular cutout as well. You can not fit the silver switch guard on, as there is not enough room. It is possible to use the rectangular switch from the grip pen instead, which fits much better. The price at 25$ is ridiculous. This does not even cost 1$ in materials to make. The packaging and instructions likely cost more. I'm sure sales volumes are low as it is a niche item, so this is expected. I can see why the vendor did not add material under the buttons, as silicone tears easily. however, The vendor could fix all problems by using a hard plastic sleeve as a base, and bonding material over that. TPU over polycarbonate would be perfect, and much more durable. This would also be a better value if it came with a square switch button as well (for pro pen users).

This product is oddly shaped so one might think that it might be hard to get used to, but it is not. The grip adds just the right shape and volume to the grip area of the Wacom Pro Pen 2 to make it feel completely natural to use. In minutes the pen was more comfortable to use and feeling more natural than with the original grip. Install the grip by following the instructions (which are to remove the pen tip and washer, remove the control button (and on my Pen 2 the metal insert around the button) and slide the old grip off the pen, then slip the Ergo Grip over the pen (it does not need pressure to do this as the fit is perfect with a little tolerance) and reinstall the pen tip (sans washer) and reinstall the button. (without the metal insert). The parts can be stored in the Ergo Grip's tube for later use.
