If you buy one of these tablets you will own a pen which is compatible with the CIntiq 21UX Lab and you are not required to buy an additional pen.)

Cintiq Pen- Required if you do not own an Wacom Intuos 5 tablet with compatible pen.

If you have a non compatible pen, you are also required to own a Wacom Pen that is compatible with the Cintiq 21UX lab.)
