I thought that my wacom bamboo one stylus would be compatible with dr - unfortunately it isn't. How come? does anybody know? cheers

I think WACOM has a couple different types of "touch screen" technologies. You need pens/styli that are specifically for the type of WACOM screen in the iLiad/DR.

I don't remember the name of it off the top of my head, but I've seen it mentioned on here before. Hopefully somebody else will chime in.

It's an inductive touch screen, I believe.

From WACOM's site, I think you want the pens for "Tablet PCs" aka their "penabled" technology. I believe that's different from the Bamboo pens, and they're not compatible with each other. They trigger the screen in different ways.

The softer tip sounds really appealing. Does anyone know if they're available on Advanced styli rather than the Professional models, so I could save a bit of money?

Edit: I should've looked deeper into the forum. My question is answered here. Sorry, folks.

Ya, sometimes it is difficult to retrieve what we look for from such a long long list
