A Complete Guide to EMR-Compatible Pens for Wacom One, raytrektab, Galaxy Note and More (8 Models + Extras)

A Complete Guide to EMR-Compatible Pens for Wacom One, raytrektab, Galaxy Note and More (8 Models + Extras)

Devices such as Wacom One, raytrektab, and the Galaxy Note series support the Wacom feel IT Technologies EMR standard, meaning users can choose from a variety of third-party EMR pens—not just the original stylus.
Below is an updated roundup of EMR-compatible pens that are still available for individual purchase.

Understanding EMR Pen Generations

Around 2014, devices like the Surface Pro/Pro2 and VivoTab Note 8 used earlier generations of Wacom EMR pens. Newer EMR pens and digitizers have since improved significantly—especially in tilt performance.

Key differences:

  • New-generation devices (≈2017 and later)
    Tilt accuracy is much better. The cursor stays aligned with the pen tip even when the pen tilts.

  • Using an old pen on a new device
    The cursor tends to “pull inward” when you tilt.

  • Using a new pen on an old device
    The cursor tends to drift outward as you tilt.

👉 For the best experience, match the pen generation with the device generation.
