Anyone Using Wacom Creative Stylus 2 with iPad Pro?

Since the Apple Pen is at least 3-4 weeks away, I'm thinking of buying a Wacom Creative Stylus 2 to use with my iPad Pro. Has anyone used this specific Wacom stylus with the iPad Pro and were there any issues? Any particular art program with which it will not work? Any help appreciated.

iPad Pro Wi-Fi, iOS 9.1

Adonit styluses work fine.

See my link in these forums here.


For those using third party styluses (stylii) with iPad Pro


I refuse to pay for another $100+ smart stylus at this stage.

Bought the Adonit 3 months ago before any announcement of the iPad Pro.

I am glad it it is working.

Purchase their stylii direct from Adonit to make sure the stylus you buy will be getting the latest and greatest firmware updates.

Lucky You. The nearest Apple Pencil to me was 208 miles to the north in a Best Buy, was is the operative term, it's been sold. All the Apple corporate stores are 4 to 5 hours of drive time. Regardless back to your question about the Wacom Intus Creative Stylus 2. I does not work on the iPad Pro today. I did get one for the same reason, from the local Best Buy, not having held the Apple Pencil yet, I do like the ergonomics of the Stylus 2. I messed with it for about 2 hours on the iPad Pro, and then decided to try it on my iPad 3. Everything worked like a champ on the iPad 3 in less that ten minutes, just not of the iPad Pro. In Wacom's defense, the packaging did not say it would work on the iPad Pro, and did identify a number of iPads it would not work with, iPad 1, iPad 2 and iPad Air 2. It does say in the material on the inside that it requires IOS 6 or better. So evidently there is some hardware differences that keep it from working as well. Thought it was odd that it claims to work with the iPad Air 1, just not the 2.

The Wacom Creative Stylus 2 will not work with an iPad Pro. Thankfully, I got mine at a severely discounted price - the sales associates at my local Best Buy advertised the entire lot of them under a sign for $20. The WCS 2 works great with an iPad Air or an iPad Mini. For these reasons, I'll keep my stylus while also hoping that they can update it for use with the Pro.
