Need Wacom alternative - lipskidder - 11-28-2007
Okay my Intuos 2 pen is falling apart. I need to order another one and extra nibs for the place I work at. I am using the company credit card and they are telling me that they are declining the sales due to fraud complaints against Wacom. They simply won't allow us to order directly from them. That's odd. Anywho, I need another pen badly and was wondering who else I can order a pen and nibs from. Anyone?

You mean another source for the pen, or a different brand other than Wacom?
I have ordered replacement nibs on eBay, but Amazon carries parts as well

Is one of these the kind you're looking for?

Thanks! The nibs are the tricky things to find I am discovering. I might just try and order the Intuos 3 from my boss.
Anyone have that one? Much better than the Intuos 2?

I replaced my older Intous 2's with a couple Intous 3 6x11's. They are fantastic.(the wider format, mostly)

I updated to the Intuos 3 from the 2 a few weeks ago.
I really like the new ones.
I also really love the felt Stylus tips.
They have a bit more resistance. It's like you are using a Squeaker (Texta).
As far as I know you can actually use the Intuos 3 nips in the Intuos 2 Stylus also.
