what have you been doing to the nib that you need changing? My current nib has had daily use for close to 2 years now and is still a perfect nib.

My nib looks fine as well. Is there something else you wanna talk about, TC?

HAHAHA, my Intuous3 came with different kind of nibs. They're made of different materials, and one of them is spring loaded, I'm just curious about how they feel, perhaps I will like one of them better.

I have Intuos2 pen for my 9 x 12. Nibs are pressure fit. They pull out and push back in for changing.

I would suspect the 3s are same.

No dice. Pushing in does nothing.

You would think that they would put something in the manual about changing them.

Here is the exact instructions from the Wacom site itself..

"Take a tweezers and pull the plastic nib out of the top of the pen. Insert the new nib and tap the pen down lightly to ensure it is in place. Do not try to open the pen under any circumstances, since This will only damage it."
