I'm posting this warning to all owners of a wacom, because i dropped my pen several times and it didn't affected it. BUT, one time it broked the magnet inside.
Yes, there is a magnet inside that can broke at any time if it receive a choc. So the best is to pay great attention to the pen and always put it in his place when doing a break.
My bamboo pen got broken so i looked for similar problems in google.
Someone got a solution by opening his pen and regluing the magnet, there also another solution. By exchanging the eraser magnet to the top. but you must do it with extreme care.
for me it didn't worked well: the click is detected too early.
I think i should have used the eraser to draw.
but it worked for some dudes. here is the links
