Question about Genius MousePen 8x6 (MOUSEPEN8X6)

Pen died I've had the tablet for about three months but now the pen does not work. The tablet recognises it, but it doesn't move. I tried changing the battery multiple times, nothing. Any hope?

Check what USB port your tablet is hooked up to... My brand-new tablet's pen wasn't responding; the light would flicker when I clicked the barrel buttons, but no movement. So I took it out of the front USB port it had been in and put it in the back, and now it's back to working fine.

Have a look inside the "Pen" I have found that sometimes the fine wires inside break of where they are soldered to the sensor. Also check the Contacts give 'em a good clean & re-tension them. In the ones I have seen the Sensor is just a coil of wire wound on a piece of ferrite ring. Very simple indeed.

My guess is that the pen just needs the batteries replaced. You only change the tip when it wears out from drawing a lot. there sould be some software that lets you change the button configuration on the pen. look on the products webpage. should find some software to help you out

Tablet pen cursor moves in the wrong direction

Wow been there my self on my gateway tab also. I found by trying this to be a issue with the FLICKS settings and needed to update the firmware and re calibrate the pen without flicks or other short cuts u might use. Also if u just bought this PEN locally u might contact the seller for assistance and if not able ask to exchange this one to test out if its on your side of the problem or just a issue with this model pen. I often do not try to do to much testing of hardware that might cause more questions and often more problems later. I recommend before u start trying out possible fixes that change the config of now a system that works with 3 pens and has in past what might u change could not help us determine if its your side config or if its a bad pen or is it a known issue and if it is we might beable to at least leave a trail of what we did incase we need to undo what changed.
Please if u could tell us the make of the pens that worked and the make and model of the one that don t... also u might see if anyone else u know could test this pen too on there tab for out ruling works or not.
Good luck ill follow ur posts

Go to Control Panel, and open bamboo properties. There you select the "pen" tab. In the pen tab you will see tracking. Select pen mode and details. You can map the pad there. After mapping pen mode try it in mouse mode as well. Best of luck!

Pen not working properly all of a sudden

Try reinstalling it, And also change the battery in it, but it has to be the same kind. And go to your settings and change the sensory thingie, like if it says 'Light' And yours is verry clost to that, then move it to 'Heavy' And then It will do it better and wont do that when you move your mouse of the screen.

Tablet not recognizing pen unless pressing down with it.

Hi, i browsed the Net in three languages to find the solution for this problem but nothing helped, then, accidentally, i bumped into the solution that helped me. I tried everything the same way you did but nothing helped. Since I use the russian version of Windows I do not know how these options might be named in english, but I think you'll understand. In Control Panel there is, as you know, the setup for pen and tablet input (with a picture of a pen) - in it there is a setup for Gestures (the middle one) - in it i disabled the gestures a long time ago. But today i tried turning it ON and went for training of these gestures (the option in blue letters at the very bottom) - and during the training my pen started hovering normally again after half a month of this problem. So I left the gestures enabled after completing the training and it still works fine. Hope it helps you,

Pen stuck on click?

This is exactly whats happening with mine! I got the tablet from a friend, and I ordered a new pen because hers had died, which was why she was giving it to me. I've only had it for a month or so. A solution to this would be wonderful.
