The new Wacom Pro Pen 3 is a pen that emphasizes customizability so that it can be closer to the individuality of each creator, and you can replace parts, customize the thickness of the grip, the number of side switches, and the center of gravity of the pen.

◆ Setup
Prepare a power adapter ......
Connect to power port.
Then prepare a power cable ......
Connect to the power adapter ......
Insert the plug into the outlet.
Continue to connect Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 and PC using the included cable.
The easiest connection method is to use a single USB Type-C cable. However, it is necessary to prepare a PC equipped with a USB Type-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode.
When connecting with a USB Type-C cable, with the USB Type-C port at the bottom of the left cover ......
Connect the DisplayPort Alternate Mode compatible USB Type-C port on the PC side with a cable.
With this alone, you can output video from your PC to Wacom Cintiq Pro 27. When I actually set it up, I got the impression that the length of the power cable was more of a bottleneck in placement than the cable connecting the PC and Wacom Cintiq Pro 27.
After that, download and install the dedicated driver on the PC connecting Wacom Cintiq Pro 27. For the driver, access the following page, select 'Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 (DTH271)' on the product side, select the OS used by your PC, and click 'Search'.
