Buying new nibs for a Wacom pen

[Harris Clook]

Hihi, the nib on my Wacom pen has flattened out from a lot of use.

I’ve had a look online and Wacom themselves sell them in packs, however I can also buy third party products.

Price is a factor, but are there any brands other than Wacom that make good nibs? (I don’t, however, know what constitutes a good nib from another)

Alternatively, has anyone bought a bulk pack from somewhere like Amazon, and if so, do they work as expected?

Cheers!

What’s a nib? Can you post a picture or I’m afraid if you describe it I’ll just be as befuddled as now.

@dostovel a nib is the tip on a stylist pen of a drawing tablet. 

@Yeehawcowboyletsgo sorry I don’t know on your question. My cheap Geniuses doesn’t work on Linux. Back when I was on Windows XP I tried to buy cheep Nibs that was suppose to be for my pen, they worked but not as good as the ones from the manufacture. That’s all I’ve got.

Ah yes, that thing gets worn off until it kinda scrapes and scratches everything. I didn’t know that tip could be changed. Now I know. Thanks.

Which pen do you use? Amazon sell nibs made of titanium that won’t wear out and don’t scratch the tab’s surface (according to reviews). I have used these before, but only for a short while that someone else owned, and they are really smooth and you can still feel the surface through the pen.
