I'd rather ruin my nibs then my expensive Cintiq. I haven't tried them personally, but I can't imagine any scenario where taking a metal nib to plastic or glass would be safe. I've seen a few threads where artists will link to metal nibs sold outside the US, I would HIGHLY advise against these. I'd suggest using these at your own risk, I've heard good things, but they are't exactly 'Wacom Certified.' Theres also some extra work involved in getting them to fit correctly, like sanding.

The Pro Pen 2 (and newer pens) use different smaller nibs compared to the Grip Pen and its generation.Īlternatively, some users have tried 3D printing them, like these Grip Pen generation nibs, or these for the Pro Pen 2 generation. Wacom sells replacements here on their site, which are guaranteed to work like a charm and fit correctly. And be aware, not all nibs are created equal. It’s a bad habit to put too much pressure on your pen/hand when you draw anyways. One solution, I've noticed, is drawing with a lighter touch helps a lot. Ice skating my hand across the monitor was not comfortable, but I do understand the concern with grinding expensive nibs down. Older Cintiqs felt like you were drawing on wet glass. Personally I think the trade off is worth it. Unfortunately this has the side effect of wearing your nibs out just a bit faster. The new Cintiqs have 'etched glass', to reduce glare and improve drawing experience. On the Intuos Pro (2017) you can interchange the default matte/rough surface with different smoother surfaces. Some of the newer tablets and Cintiqs have rougher surfaces to give a more natural feel when you draw.
