Product Information
Full details
The Xencelabs Felt Nibs (10-pack) are essential replacement accessories for digital artists and professionals who use the Xencelabs 3-Button Pen or Thin Pen. These nibs provide a unique tactile experience, offering more friction and a 'paper-like' feel on the tablet surface compared to standard plastic nibs. While they significantly enhance precision and control, users should note that felt nibs experience a faster wear rate than their standard counterparts and will require more frequent replacement depending on pressure settings and usage habits.

FAQs
Are these compatible with other tablet brands?
No, these are specifically engineered for Xencelabs 3-Button and Thin pens only.
How do I know when to replace the nib?
Replace the nib when you notice a flat spot, fraying at the tip, or if the pen feels like it is scratching the screen.
Does the pack include an extraction tool?
No, the extraction tool is included with your original Xencelabs pen case.
Do felt nibs wear out faster than plastic ones?
Yes, felt nibs are softer and provide more friction, which causes them to wear down more quickly than standard plastic nibs.
Can I use these on a screen-less tablet?
Yes, they are compatible with all Xencelabs pen tablets and pen displays.
Troubleshooting
Nib feels loose or wobbly in the pen
Ensure the nib is pushed firmly into the housing until it seats properly.
Stroke jitter or inconsistent line weight
Check if the felt tip has become compressed or damaged; replace with a fresh nib if necessary.
Nib surface feels scratchy
Gently wipe the tablet surface to remove debris that may have collected on the felt fibers.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Replacing your nib is a straightforward process. Using the extraction ring or tweezers included in your original Xencelabs pen case, grip the worn nib and pull it straight out of the pen housing. Insert the new felt nib firmly until it clicks or sits flush within the housing.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the nibs in a clean, dry environment to maintain material integrity.
- Avoid excessive pressure on the nib if you notice the felt tip fraying.
- If the nib becomes excessively worn, replace it immediately to prevent the metal nib housing from scratching your tablet screen.
