    Changed the way I photo edit made life so much easier, great for delicate touching up and drawing works perfect with Affinity photo editor.

    Would highly recommend

    Great size for limited desktop space. However it covers my large monitor adequately enough. Simple set up and customisable buttons and centre wheel. Takes a little practice to draw accurately or retouch small areas. very important to hold pen correctly and set pressure sensitive settings to individual style.

    Absolutely love it. I do some light photo work so it is so much better than a mouse and just the perfect size. But this has also been a joy to use for daily use of my Mac. It gives me so many options to interact with all software, it has completely replaced my mouse. It has also been brilliant to work with while editing Word documents. I cannot recommend this enough even if you don’t draw/ edit images. Way more versatile than a Magic Trackpad or any mouse I have used.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI use this mostly with Lightroom for editing and masking photos but I also use Illustrator and Photoshop.

    Lightroom’s amazing new masking features (in 2022) make it more obvious to use a graphic tablet rather than a mouse. It encourages you to use masking more and do a better job of it. I’m impressed with how totally natural this feels. The connection between pen and screen is pretty much real as far as I’m concerned, and you soon don’t think about it — you just use it. Things like pressure sensitivity are perhaps less important for photo editing, but it’s still very useful to be able to brush on a less dense mask in some areas just varying pressure.

    I’m happy I chose the smaller size. I’m mostly working on detail in photos so don’t need a huge expanse of tablet to make sweeping brush strokes. It means I don’t have to move my hand as far, but I never feel like I’ve lost any sort of fine control.

    I had a cheaper Wacom tablet years ago and gave up on it because it felt a bit crude. This is light years ahead. I really like that it’s wireless (and it makes no difference to how well it works, wired or wireless) and the programmable buttons and touch sensitive wheel (like the scroll wheel on an old iPod) will be more useful once I’ve decided what to use them for and developed muscle memory. The option to use the tablet as a touch pad with your fingers is nice to have too and works well. The pen is very nicely balanced and I really like the weighted stand for the pen (separate to the tablet so you can place it where you won’t knock it over all the time — something that drove me mad with my last Wacom) that has a bunch of spare nibs inside it. It’s a nice, quality package that feels worth the money. The software is pretty easy to use and highly customisable — you’ll probably need a few weeks of experimentation though. You have to download it from the Wacom website to set the tablet up but it was easy enough.

    The feel of the pen (you get two types of nib) is mostly just perfect for me — smooth and silky with a perfectly judged amount of drag that makes it feel like a great pencil on smooth, expensive paper. But if you get the slightest amount of dust or grit on it, it suddenly feels scratchy and awful, so if you’re like me you’ll spend a lot of time wiping the tablet surface and the nib. I don’t know how you’d avoid this but it is a bugbear.

    Another slight downside for me is that the battery life isn’t as good as I expected. It doesn’t come close to my wireless keyboard or mouse, but I suppose it’s doing more. You can use it while it’s charging though so it’s not a huge problem unless you like to use it on your lap. Occasionally, Bluetooth doesn’t connect automatically and I have to select the tablet manually in the Bluetooth menu of my Mac. This can be quite irritating.

    I’m not a graphic artist so I can’t tell you what this is like for drawing, but for photography it’s something of a game changer and a good purchase despite a couple of niggles.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersBuyer beware, the required drivers do not work with Mac OSX 13 Ventura.

    Edit: issue resolved: the problem was a previous driver installation for my old Wacom tablet. The remedy is to uninstall all Wacom drivers, and then search every folder in the HD and user library folders and manually delete any Wacom files left over. Re-install the current driver, accept any permissions when prompted and you should be good to go.

    I use this with Photoshop CC and found it easier than using a mouse for some functions requiring close up work. Dodge and Burn functions are also easier.
    Forget using it wirelessly – it’s really laggy! Otherwise, would recommend this product.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI felt I needed to get a tablet to elevate my Photoshop skills – make paths with pen tool etc. I think Wacom is probably the professional choice. I wasn’t sure whether to buy the ‘small’ or ‘medium’ and my decision was largely influenced by the difference in price – I bought the ‘small’ size. Fortunately, it was perfect – any larger and it would have been an awkward fit on my desk. I actually can’t see any reason to get anything bigger, as if you’re using if for PS, you really only need to use a tiny area in one corner of the whole surface. There are some good YT videos on setting up and working with a Wacom tablet – I watched ones by PHlearn and Piximperfect both were really helpful. It does take a bit of time to get used to working with a tablet, but a few things made me instantly love it – in particular using the brush tool on a mask – especially Curves in Screen blending mode for ‘dodging’ and in Multiply for ‘burning’. The opacity of the brush changes according to the pressure you use on the tablet and the process feels so much more intuitive and enjoyable than using a mouse and the results are clearly better.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersAfter receiving the tablet and installing the latest driver on 21 Feb 2022 (Version 6.3.45-1) on a top spec Windows 11 PC, configuring Photoshop functionality I tried to edit a mask using the pen tool with catastrophic results — the tablet was behaving erratically, you’d get one brush stroke, a loooong freeze, then 10 strokes will pile up on the wrong locations. Gestures didn’t work, every time you select a different tool you have to click on another application and then select back PS but this did not work every time. Same result with or without Windows Ink, cable or Bluetooth. Basically I tried every combination of options possible before ringing Wacom support. In a rude manner the first guy did everything in his power to convince me it’s my fault the brand new device is not working, something I did not see coming. Hung up, second support person (Alex) was very polite but only suggested to tick/untick Windows Ink before the line got disconnected from his end this time.

    Enough calls to support, time to do some digging until the end of the day before returning the tablet and exchanging it for a cheaper brand/option which I was hoping to at least perform basic tasks. I really need a tablet as I edit tons of furry animals and have to refine the edges, an impossible task to achieve with a mouse. Found a guy on Youtube who was requesting a donation for a fix, paid, this didn’t work but the last search got me on Adobe forum where someone suggested downgrading the driver. I immediately downloaded and installed a 2020 issued version (6.3.41-1), which worked straight out of the box minus brush size & softness correction, for which I had to apply a tweak again found on Adobe forums.
    My conclusion: all in all the tablet is very well built & worth every penny. I am giving it 4 stars because of the useless support and attitude received over the phone and also the fact that when you buy a peripheral device for your PC you should be able to connect/install/use and not have to search for underground knowledge to make it do what it’s supposed to from the start. 2 days wasted running around in circles while work is piling up by the minute, not cool.

    I was hesitating between S and M size and I am glad I chose S as I am using only about of its surface, anything larger than this would be uncomfortable for photo retouching as your hand will be moving too far to cover the screen area, but I guess you’ll prefer the bigger one for drawing.

    Would I buy another Wacom product? The build quality is really tempting, but if this one breaks I will definitely try another brand first and if they don’t live up to my expectations I will have no other choice but to come back to Wacom. In all fairness, the uncertainty this whole procedure has given me is not something I’d like to go through again.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersLove using this tablet, I use it daily for my job as a storyboard artist.

    Size of tablet is perfect and you can turn off touch for it which is great.
    Pen sensitivity and tracking is fantastic.
    Never had any malfunctions with it, it’s worked perfectly from day one.

    The pen nib wears down very quickly and replacement nibs are expensive as well being a waste of plastic. I don’t know if this is a feature thats been added for profit margins to this version, as my last wacom tablet I’ve used for 6 years never had this problem. This is also coming from someone who is very light with pushing the pen tip on the tablet.

    Anyway overall this is an amazing tablet and I would 100% pick it over any other’s any day.

    Upgraded from Intuos Bluetooth Small due to that being too small for my current needs.

    Couple of things to get out of the way, first this model uses the new second generation pen, which means you won’t be able to use any other pen with this tablet (not a big problem), also this pen uses different nibs which are smaller and thinner, this combined with a rougher surface on the tablet means you are going to go through a lot of nibs (one every fortnight for me), so make sure you get some replacements before you finish the ten included with the tablet. Also, I found I actually prefer the feel of the felt nibs (white ones, also included) so try both (felt and regular) and order replacements accordingly.
    Second, as I briefly mention before, the texture sheet is coarser and rougher now, you have the option of changing it to a smother or even harder one (given your preference) for an extra 30 (pro tip: contact Wacom support, they might send you one for free if you ask kindly. They even included spare nibs, thanks Wacom!!!!!) but even with the smoother texture I still go through nibs like a cat through some treats.

    Having said that, everything else with this is simply amazing, download the driver from Wacom’s website so that you can customise buttons, pressure, mapping and many more things. You can use it via Bluetooth or wired (USB-C to USB-A cable included) and either one works without a hitch, I personally have it plugged in to my external monitor so it’s ready to rock whenever I connect my MacBook to desk mode.

    Overall, great purchase. Everything screams Pro, go ahead and order yours.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI was warned ‘Some non-essential accessories may be missing’ – and the Paper clip was missing; but I suspect I’d have used tape or Bluetack anyway. This is my first tablet – software drivers and compatibility is generally good (Wacom is the market leader after all) although Win10 has some issue with Windows INK preventing tooltips from appearing due to tiny movements of pen being detected (tooltips need a stationary cursor). Can’t adjust this in Windows but for now if I want to see a tooltip I lift the pen off away from the tablet (so the cursor stops). It helps to hold pen upright too I think. Used with Affinity Photo, Inkscape and Blender, so far OK. It’s huge but I like that.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI purchased this for my daughter for Christmas as she loves drawing and wanted to start drawing digitally with better equipment as she was using a tablet. The size (Medium) is absolutely perfect, there’s lots of space for arm movement and bigger strokes, and the pen also is a great size as it is weighted so that the point is a bit heavier. The tablet also comes with a nice box to keep it in which is very sturdy and the pen comes with a pen holder with nibs inside (as they wear out). The option to use it through bluetooth works perfectly and rarely needs to be charged. She uses it with an application called MediBang Paint. The only reason why I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because sometimes there are some lags and it doesn’t work properly with the application and it crashes, and sadly the pen nibs get consumed very fast, but otherwise the quality is great and worth the money.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI bought this tablet last week, and it worked fine with the UBS cable, however the bluetooth connectivity could not be established. I contacted Wacom’s customer support and they indicated I should get a replacement. I contacted Amazon, and they shipped a new tablet right away. Excellent customer service!!!!

    The tablet is super easy to setup. I am using it in a MacBook Pro (Catalina) for Lightroom and Photoshop. It has loads of options for customisation, which can be applied to all apps, or to specific apps (for example, I can setup the pen’s buttons with specific commands in Lightroom and different commands in Photoshop).

    I purchased the small tablet, which is good size to use in the desk and also very light and convenient to carry in the backpack.

    Great product, highly recommended.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI bought this to replace my old Wacom Intuos small tablet, which sadly gave up the ghost, and I haven’t used this new one a lot yet – but I’m missing my little old tablet all the same. I’ve got the new one set up with the controls (the wheel and function buttons) on the left because I’m right handed, but I’m finding I still keep accidentally knocking various buttons I don’t want where I’m holding the tablet with my left hand. Plus the active area seems to be oversensitive sometimes, because it’s picking up the movement of my right hand where I’m resting on the surface.
    So I feel this is going to take a bit more practice to get used to, and I’m not currently sure I’ll ever want or need to use 80% of the functionality of the tablet. I probably should have gone for a cheaper, more basic model, but I was tempted towards this one because of the promised additional sensitivity of the pen.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI’m a little longer in the tooth and was wary of moving away from a keyboard and mouse to this tablet but since using it, I’ve found it to be extremely good. It does take a bit of getting used to and I haven’t quite got comfortable with using the switch on the pen, in place of clicking the mouse but more use will hopefully put that right.

    I was torn between a medium size table and the small but after reading that quite a few people were cutting down the active area on a medium tablet, I opted for the small and it’s proved, so far, to be a good choice as far as photo editing goes. I’ve even reduced the active area on the small tablet and it’s been fine. However, if you are an illustrator, it may be a different call and I would suggest reading reviews from artists to see which size would be good for you.

    The setup was fairly straightforward, the tablet was recognised straight away and took me through the setup, which was a little confusing to begin with but some careful reading, it all became clear(ish) and it updated via the wacom website, I haven’t yet designated too many functions but what I have works well for me and I’m enjoying the more accurate way of editing, you have much more control over what you want and where you want and it’s a lot quicker. I’ve altered the sensitivity of the pen, which helped to control the movements and stopped me selecting things I didn’t want to. Going back to the mouse for other tasks is odd, it feels enormous and heavy after using the pen.

    Overal, it’s been a good purchase. The pen does take a bit of getting used to but it’s definitely worth persevering with. Don’t expect it to go completely smoothly to begin with and you’ll be fine.

    I forgot to mention that a lot of the reviews I looked at before buying, said that the surface of the tablet was slightly rough and caused the nibs to wear down very quickly. When I got the tablet, it was wrapped in a thin plastic film, which I cut a small hole in to allow the power lead to be connected but left the rest of the film in place, which gives a nice smooth surface for the pen to run over. So far, the nib hasn’t visibly worn, so the film will stay on.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI am an owner of an ancient intuos, a cintique, and now this. I was worried because of the reviews but I don’t think I should have been in hindsight. I bought this to replace my 12 year old intuous which is still going, but my mac no longer supports it and its not 8k. I have mainly been using my new intuous it in zbrush and I *love* it for that. The modifier keys and scroll wheel are thoughtfully laid out, zbrush seems to have thought about this, and the workspace (A5) is plenty. It works wired or wireless which is great because sometimes I may want to just use while far away from the screen. The touch feature is… interesting… but I am not quite used to that being something I could do.

    The main thing I really dislike about the new intuous is the feel of the nibs on the surface. I do remember many years ago feeling like it was too smooth and disliking the lack of feel of paper, but over the years I got used to silky smooth. The roughness of the work surface feels like a nice sheet of paper and has a more realistic feel, but after years of it being the other way it makes me feel like I am damaging my tablet. I suppose I will get used to it.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersIt was actually easier than I thought to get started with the Wacom tablet. It does wear down the nibs as other have said. But that is to be expected, it actually feels like you are using pen on paper. It is possible to adjust the settings so you don’t have to press that hard and you could buy the smoother surface for the tablet. I had no previous tablet experience but think it was much easier to learn than when I learned to air-brush. You do need some really good software to get the full potential of the tablet, like Photoshop. So make a budget for that.
    I did not know how much you actually zoom during e-painting so I bought the Large version. But now I think Medium would have sufficed. I zoom for details anyway.
    I got the paper-edition, since it was my first tablet I thought the transition would be easier. But have found that I’ve hardly used that function at all. Maybe if I was travelling more I would use it more, but then the Large size would definitely be to big.
    I am very happy with my purchase. I also got the grey bag to carry it in, and protect it.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI have own wacom tablets for over 10 years now.
    I had a bamboo pen and touch, Intuos 5 and a Cintiq 13HD, I got sick of my Cintiq so I just wanted an Intuos again, I just went ahead and got this since it’s the most similar to my original Intuos 5 (that I really loved).

    I just installed it, no issues with the driver. It was easy, quick and the bluetooth works perfectly. My laptop is a 15inch Acer Predator that’s 2 years old.

    The surface is WAY more matte than my original Intuos 5 but I guess getting a cheap intuos screen protector works just fine. Or just set your pressure sensitivity super high so you don’t need to apply that much pressure (I have a light touch to begin with) to avoid wearing out your nibs.

    I like the look, I like the size, cable’s non bulky which is good. eeeeeh overall I like it alot but I am still on the fence about the pen, it’s good but it’s light, I like it a bit heavier.

    Golden Review Award: 16 From Our UsersAs a long-time user of a Wacom Intuos Pro medium, I had been debating for a while whether to upgrade to the newer model. I use my tablet every single day (for photo editing), and although mine was getting rather worn looking, it still functioned perfectly well. All the reviews I read implied that the major drawback with the newer model is that the drawing surface as supplied was quite abrasive and caused the pen tips (which used to last me months or years) to wear down in a matter of days or weeks. However, replacement (smoother) surfaces were available at a price. Eventually, the price for a new tablet on Amazon dipped below 300 and I decided to take the plunge and order a new one, and also a replacement ‘smooth’ texture sheet which was cheapest to order direct from Wacom at the time.
    AND the verdict is… the new Intuos Pro is better in almost every respect that the previous Intuos Pro M model. The surface sheet was quite easy to replace. The main differences I notice are:
    1) the new pad is overall smaller whilst providing a very similar drawing area.
    2) The ‘touch’ functionality (which has a separate on/off switch on the side of the tablet) is infinitely better – much more like an Apple Track Pad.
    3) The general smoothness of pen operation feels more accurate and precise, especially the pressure control. Maybe because of the 2000+ levels now available. Subjectively, it feels a whole lot better in use than the previous model.
    There are some downsides though. The switch on the pen is more recessed than the older model and is harder to find by touch alone. Also, I cannot get the wireless functionality to work well at all. It does connect by Bluetooth, but is so laggy as to be unusable wirelessly. As far as I can find out, this may be due to interference from my wireless keyboard and/or mouse, but since I don’t really need to use it wirelessly, I have not spent any time trying to resolve the issue. It works fine connected by the supplied USB cable.
    And the other big negative is the price – Intuos Pros are seriously expensive, and some of the newer competing brands seem to be an awful lot cheaper. I have not tried any of them, so can’t say how they are to use. The main reason I didn’t buy one is that none of them seem to feature the scroll wheel that the Wacom has – and I use that constantly for altering brush sizes when working, and for zooming in and out of the image. (You can set up to 4 functions, and I find that the zooming works far better with Photoshop than the previous model – though I always understood the problem to be with Adobe software rather than Wacom)
    Driver installation in Windows 10 was so-so – I found I needed to uninstall the existing Wacom drivers then install the latest ones, but I was able to reload most of the saved Express key settings from the old model. I say ‘most’ because the on-screen panels loaded fine, but the actual button key settings didn’t – but it only took a few minutes to set those up. Not everyone uses them anyhow – but I do.
    For Windows 10, you do need to UNCHECK the ‘use WIndows ink’ box on the Mapping tab of the Wacom Pen setting dialogue (quite well buried). Also, in the W10 ‘Pen and Ink’ settings dialogue I have checked the ‘Ignore touch input when using pen’ box which stops your resting hand from moving the picture when using the pen which happened occasionally.
    So, YES, the newer Intuos Pro M is better to use then the previous Pro model. Is it really worth the 300 or so it costs?
    I hesitate to recommend changing. If you don’t have a graphics tablet and want to get a serious tool which will really boost your ability to edit pictures, then, no question – get one! But, if you already have a Pro medium and it’s working fine, whilst the new model is ‘nicer’ to use in almost every way, it comes down to a decision between you and your bank balance whether to upgrade. I’m pleased that I did.

    After having to return a Huion tablet because I just couldn’t get the driver to work I decided to get a Wacom Intuos Pro Medium in the Black Friday sale. Though I liked the build of the Huion let me tell you that this thing is in a different league- it looks, feels and even smells like a luxury product. I installed the driver in no time and it worked immediately. I was worried about the size being too small for illustration, the surface texture being too toothy and the nibs wearing too fast as many have pointed out. This tablet is a great size for drawing on- there is plenty of room to move the wrist; the surface texture is just great, I wouldn’t change it (though you can buy different texture sheets); the pen and nibs feel amazing to draw with- I’ve only had it for a day so can’t testify to nib wear but the drawing experience is so good I don’t even care anymore. So is it worth the almost 3x the price of the Huion?, YES, absolutely, this thing is a joy to use.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersEven though you might think this tech shouldn’t be that expensive, and even though you would probably be right, Wacom puts in lots of little features that make you feel better about going for the premium brand.
    First, the settings software is very good, every key is customizable, as with sensitivity etc, and this can be done per program. Next the hardware keys are actually sensitive to touch rather than just pressing, and running your finger over them displays a preview of what each one does on the side of your screen. The tablet drawing pad itself supports multitouch, making it a very effective oversized touchpad if need be. I could go on, but those are the main things that impressed me right away.
    I have one big issue with this product however, and that is that Bluetooth is very unreliable. At best, you manage to connect quickly and get a slightly laggy wireless connection. At worst, you spend an hour pairing, unpairing, restarting, only to get an unusably laggy connection for no apparent reason. By sheer perseverance you’ll probably end up with a good connection eventually, but there’s no telling why the lag is occasionally so high until you try and try again. Not to mention the wireless range at which the tablet stops working completely is about 1.5 meters for some reason, so there’s not much incentive to use it over the cable. I don’t think it’s a problem with my setup or a defect in my tablet, so this was very disappointing.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersIts arrived and so far so good. I up bought the paper version which is just the standard with a big paper clip. Buy yourself a few cloths pegs or tape for same functionaoity.

    Out the box the it feels a good quality build. Lots of reviews moan about the tedture too rough and going through nibs…. i cant say this is my experience if you are super heavy handed im sure it would be a problem but thats not me.

    Set up is fairly simple but it will take me a while to get the most out of functionality. There is an hours u tube video on use but i do think there is space for more user videos.

    Blue tooth works fine so long as you pair properly and the connecting wire is fine to use too. Its taking me a little while to really get the most out of it and i think in time it will be a godsend as i pick up ky skills and dexterity. Im trying to do some very crisp masking so i had to change brushes etc.

    I do think this will more than payfor itself in terms if advancing my skills but say no to paper and just buy the main unit medium seems to be a v good option unless you are a painter and need a wider space.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI love this tablet, it is a massive improvement over my previous small Wacom graphire. The Grpahire had served well for many years but was very basic by comparison to this. The new tablet works well in photoshop and blender as well as other editing tools. Note that sculptors (Maya and Zbrush users) might find that the pen tip wears down rapidly. This is a stupid design (or maybe a smart design if you want to sell more pentips) by Wacom but can be addressed with by buying the replacement smooth surface or buying some very fine wire polishing wool, masking the drawing area and polishing it to a shine. Polishing a new product may sound scary but keep in mind that these surfaces are designed to be replaceable so worst case, you mess it up and by the official smooth surface anyway.

    Oh and make sure you disable windows ink if you are a windows user, it will cause untold issues with input lag. Before I disbaled this feature I would draw a few brush strokes in photoshop and then find that it hung for extended periods before updating in batches. Really frustrating.

    Bottom line: Great tablet, shame about the coarse texture on the default surface. Drivers are disappointing and the user has to work out how to fix the windows in problem themselves.

    I use an art tablet hours each day in work and I’d highly recommend this tablet for a professional or enthusiast. The name “small” really doesn’t do it justice, it’s the perfect size for me. (I’m doing 3d digital sculpture primarily so I don’t do much gesture drawing. If you use gesture drawing maybe go for a bigger one, but this one is easily big enough for what I do) The pen is a great size and comes with a stand and a selection of replacement nibs. It also comes with a battery and wireless upgrade which is handy. Out of the box the pen and touch worked perfectly, it’s no hassle to set up at all. I have used other brands of art tablet in the past and they have all broken through use. None of my Wacom products have ever broken and not needing a battery for the pen is a huge benefit to Wacom tablets also. I also own a cintiq which is wonderful but honestly not needed for 3d work if you have a desk tablet like this one. All in all, if you’re considering buying a tablet, this one has been perfect for me and I would highly recommend it to anyone doing 2d or 3d art.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersI used a basic Intuos Draw for a couple of years for photo editing and day-to-day computer use. As that inevitably got scratched up to the point of causing input hitches, I decided to replace it by upgrading both the model line to Intuos Pro and the size to ‘medium’.
    My actual drawing I prefer to do on paper, but for photo editing, this has been a huge upgrade. The difference the additional surface area makes can not be overstated. If you’re working on high-resolution files and you’re doing the kind of editing where you need to get in at a 1:1 pixel level and make even, smooth alterations across the whole width of the screen, the ‘medium’ size is definitely better than the small/basic Intuos size. The expanded express keys and dial found on this ‘Pro’ are also extremely useful, especially in Lightroom which can be pretty clunky without shortcuts, and the pen is noticeably nicer than the one bundled with the basic Intuos, as well; the eraser is very much appreciated.

    The surface and nibs are a tough one to call because there are some objective downsides but some potentially huge subjective upsides. The surface is a little bit rougher than the older and more basic Intuos I had (as well as other tablets I’ve owned many years ago) and the nibs are a little bit smaller and softer, too, and this leads to fast wear. The plastic nibs have lasted a week each and the felt nibs just a few days longer, maybe 10 days; and this is with my relatively light photo editing use. I can imagine if I were to do much digital drawing, both types of nib would wear down in just a couple of days. (Again, I prefer drawing on paper, but I did try some digital drawing with this tablet once right after getting it and sure enough, the impact on the nib could be seen after only a couple of hours.)
    The potential upside to this though is it does feel a lot more like using a traditional pen on paper. With the plastic nib it feels a lot like a Sakura Pigma Sensei pen I have, and the felt nib feels near-identical to a Zebra Fude brush pen. I prefer the felt nib as it offers just a little more resistance and does seem to wear down a little slower, but it’s all personal preference.
    I am very tempted to try the extra smooth replacement surface, with the felt nib, in order to have the slowest wear possible while still having a little resistance. The problem with that is replacement surfaces for these tablets run in the area of 40 local or 25+shipping and import to get from the US, so it’s certainly not a cheap part to switch. For that matter, replacement nibs aren’t cheap either, and given how quickly many people will eat through nibs, I think that’s a big fault. Whenever they revamp the line again, Wacom need to either make more durable nibs or they need to bring the price down on replacement nibs.

    All that said, while I can only guess at how other people may use the tablet, all I can really speak for is my own use and experience with it, and overall it’s been fantastic for me. I do wish the nibs wouldn’t wear quite as fast, but it’s not too horrific with my use, and for photo editing this seems like a very worthwhile upgrade over the basic Intuos. If you don’t care about express buttons or the eraser then I have to imagine the regular Intuos Medium would be just as effective, but for those of us battling with clunky Lightroom, these extra keys do make a difference.

    I use a wacom tablet every day for work and it varies between intuos pro models and intuos 4. I do everything with a tablet and it replaces my mouse for 95% of the tasks I do.

    I had an old cintiq 12wx at home previously but as i do morr 3D work than 2D now, for a number of years I just used the cintiq as a regular tablet without the screen function but the screen had no texture and was too slippy and was getting outdated so I went for this model.

    Like all wacoms, its really great and i cant imagine working without one but it doesnt come without its annoyances.

    The texture sheet is really rough.. so went from polar opposites, and takes a while to get used to the default but it is much nicer than slippy glass. It does wear down the nib fast though.

    Software is still a big issue. Sometimes the drivers just stop working properly or something interferes with it which is very annoying. WINDOWS still insists on making the experience of using a tablet really bad by default, so still need to turn off flicks, press and hold for right click and the rubbish visual effects (but to be fair, theyre windows issues)

    I would suggest turning off windows ink in the Pen > Mapping section of the settings and create a seperate mapping for just photoshop with windows ink turned on because otherwise pressure sensitivity doesnt work.. but if you leave it on for all, other programs dont work correctly.

    It is also a little expensive. Its a professional tool so pays for itself, but still feels a little pricey.

    The new pen and pen holder are very nice.

    The overall slimmed down size is really useful too and it looks great.

    All-in-all, great but not perfect.

    UPDATE:

    A few days ago in the heavy rain, it turns out that the seal around my whole window seal leaks really badly. What poured through the window and down the back of my desk. I thought I had dealt with this, but 3 days later, I pull the tablet out and find that it’s been sitting in a puddle of water for 3 days…..

    Devastated I quickly cleaned it all up… Works perfectly.

    Super happy with it.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersCAUTION: This tablet will wear down your nibs in the first hour due to it’s rubbery surface, do not let Wacom affiliates tell you otherwise (I’m glaring at you, Aaron the youtuber). I would recommend getting the Paper version at all costs, and I will explain why.

    This Tablet is absolutely amazing with it’s responsiveness and friendliness. I have been using this for two days (I have been using a Cintiq for over a year) and I’m already getting the hang of it. The Tablet is nicely sized and (medium) can fit an A5 drawing inside the active area. The reason I urge you pro get the paper version is it will grant you the ability to use wacom’s “Livedraw pen” which allows you to draw on an actual piece of paper and have it appear on the computer at the same time in a live feed – but also to stop the pen Nib wearing:

    The rubbery surface of the Tablet is without a doubt the cause for this tablet’s accelerated nib wear, in order to stop this you could fork out another 30 and buy the “smooth” surface OR you could do what I did and clip a cut-down sheet of my favorite smooth Bristol board, using the Paper edition’s clip, and draw on that.

    After using my Bristol board I have noticed a vast increase in my ability to draw quick strokes and reduce the nib wear pretty much entirely. The reason I went from a Cintiq to a Intuos was that the small Cintiq I had was ruining my back through constantly hunching, Now I can draw with ease from my shoulder while looking at my raised PC monitor. Another improvement over a Cintiq is that there is no fear of scratching the glass you are drawing on, or constant polishing off the dust, you can always clean your Intuos surface or – if needed be – buy a replacement surface. For what it’s worth I believe it is a good product and it is quite portable if you have the bag-space for it – you could buy the waterproof travel case but be warned, you need a Rucksack big enough to fit a laptop sized travel case. Otherwise you could use an alternative shoulder bag/satchel.

    If you are a Student like me and you want to take it with you to uni, or anywhere outside your room for that matter, Insure it the as soon as you can for piece of mind. Wacoms are a quality brand and I have heard they can be stolen in Uni. In conclusion I am very happy with the product so far and I look forwards to improving my artwork.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our Usersshort summary – very glitchy to start with but still an excellent tablet that is becoming a core productivity tool.

    main pros: this is a well made sleek tablet of sufficient size to turn ‘untouchable’ screen real estate into a touch screen. with a bit of trial-and-error the customisable express keys are tools you never want to be without. the new in-built bluetooth functionality allows you to work in any conceivable position. when this works it blows my socks off!

    main cons: very surprised by looseness of buttons on the pen, they flop around like nobody’s business – even the Samsung s-pen feels tighter. bluetooth connection is hit and-miss and I have seen it-simply not connect on re-starting one PC and long after a few hours on another. Zooming and scrolling will-the touch ring is jerky and could be much smoother. The regular surface is far too rough and wears down the pen nib very quickly. I had to replace with an expensive smooth surface for what should be the default optio

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAn EXCELLENT pen tablet! The Wacom intuos pro medium tablet is not cheap but you do get what you pay for, I use it for Lightroom and Photoshop (Photography and digital manipulation is my hobby) and it does take a while to get used to, but this is because it does so much. Programming the tablet to your own preference is easy and well worth doing to get the optimum from a very effective tablet, I used to use a smaller tablet and at first you would probably think you’d get away with the small version of the Intuos Pro, but Once you get the hang of it’s size I find it infallible for detail (this does rely on the quality of your monitor mind). The pen is very comfortable and accurate, the pen holder is very stable and holds the spare nibs (I’m not sure how long each nib lasts as i’m still on my first one and there does appear to be a bit of life left in it.
    I’m not a big fan of the touch facility which I have turned off, it can get very confusing if your hand touches the pad and your trying to use the pen, I’d rather use a trackball or mouse for other applications.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersIt’s a steep learning curve to use a tablet if you have never used one before. I have given up multiple times ever since buying it. Literally have to force yourself to use it even though it seems easier to go back to using the mouse. If you persist, you will understand why it’s much better. I’ve been using the mouse ever since and using the mouse in Photoshop for 5-6 years. But once I got the hang of the tablet, I can honestly say I don’t ever want to go back. Much more refined and faster at editing now.

    Issues? Yes.

    The battery doesn’t seem to hold its charge or there’s issue with the wireless module. It keeps disconnecting from my Macbook Pro (late 2013) OS all up to date, wacom driver tried with new and old. Also speaking of which, the wacom driver for the Mac is also quite flaky. Sometimes would randomly loose all your pre configured settings. Very frustrating and time wasting especially when you have backed up the settings (on cloud and local) but it will not restore it. What’s the point of back up!?

    All these problems are well scattered on the web. Good luck with customer support, none existent. They will not reply with anything useful. Just pray yours isn’t full of issues, mainly software.

    Conclusion – I still use it daily for my work. Like I said, once you mastered it – you can’t go back to using the mouse to edit anymore.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersFantastic tablet, downloading the drivers on Windows 10 was easy – you just go to Wacoms website and search for the latest drivers. I upgraded from the previous model Intuos Pro S – I had it for years and to this day it’s still an awesome tablet, but I felt the need to upgrade as there are vast improvements in this model. The only qualm I have with these kinds of tablets is that the tiny edges can get filled of dirt quite quickly – especially if you eat at your desk. The crevices are easy to be filled with that kind of stuff. I occassionaly clean my tablet, if anything gets under there I’ll use a tiny needle to get rid of anything wedged inside.

    Another thing is that the texture of the surface was quite rough, this can result in your pen nibs wearing down more quickly compared to a smooth surface. The default surface they send seems to be rough which is annoying, they have 3 types of texture sheets: smooth, standard and rough. You can find these on their website – I purchased the standard and it feels way better. A test card is included so you can feel what the different textures feel like. I think this is a sneaky tactic by Wacom, they’ll know most people won’t like a rough surface – not the end of the world but considering texture sheets are around 30 (depending on the size of your tablet, larger sheets are more expensive) they know they can get more money from this. It should have been a standard texture sheet, but unfortunately – not the case.

    Aside from those minor issues, it’s a step forward in terms of specifications. I’ve noticed the difference in levels of pressure sensitivity from my last Wacom tablet which had only 2048. The new pen is also comfortable and has an elegant new pen holder/stand that holds the nibs inside, which I love. Changing the texture sheet was easy to do, and it was delivered very quickly – I ordered it from the Wacom store.

    I’ve had no driver issues thus far, I have had problems with Wacom drivers in the past – they’re not perfect but they’ve certainly improved quite a bit. Simple to set up, and easy to use. I’d recommend this tablet for professional artists, but if you feel like splashing out – go for it. Wacom are stingy with their prices, but I do believe ‘you pay for what you get for’. If you can’t afford a screen tablet then this is the next best thing.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI purchased this tablet for a great deal of photo-editing and the occasional fun with digital art. Previously I was using a Wacom Intuos, which is around 4/5 years old at this point. The difference between them is huge, the build quality is exceptional, it feels good to the touch and weighty in the hand.

    The unboxing experience was brilliant, its clear that a lot of effort went into packaging the materials and laying them out with a unique design. The setup process was just as easy, I plugged in the Wacom using the cable provided and it popped up with a notification to download the Wacom desktop centre. From there it was super easy to do the firmware updates and configure the express keys for my most used functions.

    I also purchased the additional Paper add on, personally I feel that it makes the tablet that more user friendly and gives you more options for you work, whether you use it to take notes, sketch logo designs or draw character outlines. I used a sheet of A4 sketch paper, cut in half which fills the space nicely. The tablet picks up every stroke within the boundary without issue.

    The only issue that I have had with this tablet is that the surface is slightly rougher than what I am used to, my old tablet was perfectly smooth and the pen didn’t have any feeling of texture. The rougher surface on the pro gives the pen a great feeling, but it seems to be eating my nib much faster. Fortunately the nibs are cheap, and you are given 10 in the box. There is the option to replace the surface with one that is smoother or rougher but these are an additional purchase.

    Overall, I am very happy with this device. Before purchasing this one I tried to use a cheaper Chinese equivalent but it was bogged down with so many issues that I had to return it. With the Wacom it just works!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic piece of kit - No issues with setup on windows 10.

    I’ve been saving for a while to get my first graphics tablet in order to improve my skills as a digital image retoucher. I was initially worried that it would be too difficult to use with my 27″ iMac, based on some online reviews, as they invariably recommended getting the medium sized version of this tablet. However, I’ve found that it works very well with my large screen and I’m able to have good control even over changes to small areas of the image. Even if I did purchase the medium (which was outside my budget), I’d have resized the operational area of the tablet to be similar to this small sized version in order to reduce the range of movement of my arm/wrist/hand during retouching. I was able to get over the initial learning curve within 3 days by following the general advice of avoiding the mouse. The touch capabilities are helpful in this respect for non-retouching work (e.g. web browsing). Would recommend this to any photography hobbyist who’s looking to move beyond the restrictions posed by using a mouse for retouching. I’ve been able to optimise my setup using freely available online resources (though likely to change as I become more experienced with Photoshop), but if you’re looking for paid courses, check CreativeLive.com for recent Wacom training courses suitable for photographers and digital illustrators/artists…

    Golden Review Award: 13 From Our UsersAt the time of typing this, I’d been drawing for about 6+ hours today (my arm aches, man…) and was still listening to music. This is a pretty long one so settle in. (Screenshots are from Photoshop CC 2017 and ArtRage)

    THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE MEDIUM REGULAR TABLET. And if you’re looking for a review containing this tablet’s supposed built-in wireless capabilities, don’t read onward because that noise is foreign to me. Haven’t attempted it, don’t plan to, but good luck if ya do.

    First off, my basic computer specs to be fair. I’m on a home gaming setup running an Intel Core i5 CPU, a GTX 1070 graphics card, 64-bit Win10, with an SSD alongside a 2TB hard-drive, so I’m pretty good for having both Photoshop and Minecraft (both very CPU and memory intensive programs) coexist peacefully. I’d always recommend a decent computer for graphics tablets, and this one is no exception.

    Now, the size. SLIGHTLY smaller than the Medium from the previous rather clunky Intuos Pro line (the current Intuos Pro small is from that same line, FYI), but the actual workspace is about the same. It’s also allot thinner than previous iterations, so it’s essentially perfect for sitting on my tiny desk among my giant PC and monitor. Fits tons better, so much so that I can have the keyboard on my desk at the same time. (Makes things about 200x more efficient)

    I’m not someone who uses the express keys or the little touch ring (or any touch features, really) but… they’re there, I guess? They don’t hinder me this time around, another perk of keyboard off lap. What’s great in terms of the tablet’s hardware is the tablet end of the USB cord – it’s more like a laptop charger head, and so doesn’t get jiggled about much, stays holstered nice and firmly compared to previous Wacom models.

    The new Wacom Pro Pen 2, man. It comes with a holder-slash-nib-case with an extremely helpful diagram on how to change nibs, good job on that. Ah, and SO RESPONSIVE! I only use the buttons for ArtRage so far but the pen itself is a marvel. Holds really nicely (and doesn’t have a major doosey when I flip it to recenter it in my hand), pretty much NO LAG and the whole thing runs great even after a couple hours use.

    When looking for a new tablet (of which I usually buy a basic 50-100 Wacom model, as I have over 10 years), it was a choice between this and the Wacom Cintiq13HD. At first it was because of various bad reviews on the Cintiq and the need to keep some money behind for the Nintendo Switch, but now I can say without a doubt this was the worthy purchase. And I pre-ordered that Switch too!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the expense (Long review)

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersBeen using for a couple of weeks and so far the tablet itself lives up to Wacoms brilliant standards. Pen stand could be a little more secure, the design is very nice but storing the pen horizontally makes it far too easy to knock over though vertical is plenty secure. I only have two real problems with the tablet so far:
    1) The tablet came with samples of screen protector textures (which is fantastic in itself) the packing indicates these are available from the Wacom store however I am unable to find them and would very much like to purchase one soon as my tablet is already getting marked from use.
    2) As usual Wacoms drivers are pushing boundaries in the field of crashing, I’ve found an easy fix online already but that doesn’t stop it from being annoying.
    I previously had an Intuous 4 medium which lasted me ~6 years
    *EDIT*
    Having spent a bit more time using the Intuos there are a couple of other things i think it’s worth mentioning:
    the express keys are fantastic, I use them a great deal and the new pop-up menu is a great improvement on the old screen design.
    Also in terms of drivers the Wacom desktop centre you’re instructed to install is very user friendly, and makes it much easier to remember to update the drive

    Golden Review Award: 14 From Our UsersRather unbelievably, Wacom released this device without having a manual ready. I rang support about the problem with Bluetooth connectivity and the support worker sounded embarrassed about that! Finding any information on the warren of Wacom sites and pages is pretty hopeless – very poor for the launch of a premium product.

    I installed all the drivers and got the tablet working well when it was plugged in to my iMac via USB. However, I could not pair it with Bluetooth – no device appeared in the iMac Bluetooth device list. To pair, you unplug the device and press the button on the front of the tablet and watch for the blue light to flash. This didn’t work for me, but when I spoke to Wacom support, he told me to press and hold the button for at least 3 seconds. When you do this, the flashing blue light starts to flash more rapidly. Then, the device appeared in the iMac Bluetooth device list and successfully paired.

    Hope this helps someone!

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI like it and feel I will grow to love it.

    At present I am going through a frustration phase, having never used one of these before and having too many years of mouse use to forget 🙂 Seriously though, navigation is remarkably different, but then the benefits make the little investment, which I am certain is good old fashioned familiarisation, worthwhile.

    So using a mouse to draw a line usually results in line of fixed width, fixed opacity and potentially not too accurate – can you write your name easily with a mouse? With this tablet and the pressure sensitivity of the pen, your line can vary in width and opacity, thin to thick, dark to light, and back, simply by adjusting the pressure on the pad and… you can write your name with it.

    As a photoshop and lightroom user, that is where I see massive benefit from this tool – controlling tool variables with pen pressure.

    As to the tablet and pen itself, they seem very well made, the look, feel, rigidity, finish, all seem excellent. the pen holder houses multiple additional pen tips, together with an extractor tool and the wifi works a dream. I haven’t had this long enough to comment on battery life, but so far (two days) I have not had to recharge.

    The function buttons are easy to map to common keystrokes such as Undo and changing brush tool sizes and a number of them default to useful commands already. Put the pen down and the pad is a touch pad with all the usual gestures in swipe, pinch, etc at err… your fingertips 🙂

    I would strongly recommend having a quick google or search in youtube, to look at a few starter videos and settings for the likes of photoshop as these reduce the learning curve.

    To sum up, this seems like a massively helpful tool for my photography retouching, it fits in alongside my laptop in the same bag and I am sure I will get a lot of use out of it. If it got stolen, even at this early stage in my learning, would I buy another…. YES.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersI deliberated between this and the intuos pen and touch model for a couple of months and finally took the plunge with the pro small. It has helped my photoshop and lightroom work enormously (I wouldn’t want to work without it now!). It takes a few hours of practice to get used to (I did wonder how on earth people preferred it to begin with!) but once you do it is a hugely useful tool. The benefit over the pen and touch model really being the express keys and touch dial. You can set these up to be shortcuts/keystrokes/pretty much anything and on a program basis to fit your style. Initially the number of options was overwhelming but with a few youtube videos with suggestions I quickly found the setup that works for me and keep tweaking it as I need. These keys really are worth it as the speed at which you can work is hugely increased in programs like lightroom and photoshop. Definitely would recommend this. If you are taking photography or any sort of graphics related work seriously (even just as a very serious hobby) you wont be disappointed in going for the better model. Small is the perfect size for me as I don’t need big sweeping arm movements for artwork, photo editing is great on the small and I definitely wouldn’t want bigger. You may find the larger sizes better if you are an artist.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis is by far the best Graphics Tablet in all History. I’m an Illustrator and I tend to make digital Paintings. I decided to buy this since I heard so much good stuff about it. I was worried about the size of the Intuos Pro Small but it turns out to be amazing to work on with. There is enough working space within the square, there is also button sensitivity when you hover your finger over the buttons. You can customize your buttons. You can easily rotate canvas and zoom in and change brush and so on without barely having to use your keyboard shortcuts. It does come with wireless and for me it can last 2 days with a full recharge. When not in use the graphics tablet will switch off to save battery so you dont have to worry if you leave it on and forget to turn it off. The small squares lights up so you know the area your working on even in the darkness. The pen feels comfortable on your hand and seriously it is by far the best Pen in history, it is so heavenly to use. The pressure sensitivity is a like a freaking Terminator, it is so accurate and so precise it makes you want to worship this Graphics Tablet.

    My only issue is the condition the box came in…it was damped, torn and they placed stickers on the actual box. Rather than to put the product within another box they used the main Wacom box to place the stickers and to deliver. I was not happy about it considering that I payed a lot for this graphics tablet to come in such a poor state. But everything within the box has not been tampered or anything and is completely new.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI really like this product. Easy to set up, nice to use, lightweight and brilliant for doing my concept art. One thing I will say, though, is that the pen nibs are crap. After 2 days, the one that was already in the pen had worn down (and I hardly press at all when I’m drawing) so I ended up having to buy old style, stronger nibs from someone else. It’s such a small thing but it makes a big difference to an artist who doesn’t want to constantly worry that the nib’s going to wear down mid-flow. It’s just a pity that pretty much all tablet pens have the same type of nibs now so there’s not a whole lot you can do about it other than fork out for old ones. S****y pen nibs aside, though, this tablet is really nice and worth the money.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersWaited a while before reviewing this item as I’ve never used a graphics tablet before and being so use to a mouse the transition took a bit of getting to grips with.

    Firstly, I do have problems with my dexterity having suffered a serious neck injury years back. Periphery control (meaning hands as well as other parts of the body) is somewhat awkward. However I purchased Lightroom and wanted more control than a mouse can bring to editing my photos – OK – so now you know where I’m coming from let me say to those who haven’t made the switch that on certain jobs I find control easier – others I go back to back to the mouse. I find using the tablet far easier for brush strokes but if I want to click on an item I still use the mouse as at times ( and this is my personal experience only) I find the tablet a bit hit and miss. Also the power attachment is fiddly and I doubt it will last a lifetime. One other thing – if like me you use a USB stand or edit from an attached drive you will notice a slight delay, plugging it straight into the computer improves performance dramatically.

    Have got to like it – as far as delivery and packaging – excellent.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersFor most folks I suspect they will never try a tablet but, if you edit photos or do anything freehand using a mouse you’ll find this much easier. I finally gave in after years of using a mouse. I have not regretted it. The pen in quite intuitive and once in your hand and you get used to lifting off and moving/hovering over the surface ( Just like a real pen) you’ll be able to work MUCH more accurately. The screen cursor appears as long as the pen tip is within about 30mm of the surface. With photoshop the added benefit of pressure sensitivity means I can get many things done in one pass instead of having to lighten the flow and go over the same area a few times to build it up. This tablet is well made as you would expect and the pen is replaceable. If you want to use it as such you can turn on the touch feature and use your finger to draw with. This cannot use the pressure levels though. It comes packed in a well made quality box which reminded me of the ipad packaging. Its definitely a quality item and I would heartily recommend it to anyone using Photoshop. They recommend that to get used to it you play Solitaire with it and while you can do that and other tasks with it, I prefer the mouse as the mouse moves a much greater distance for any given hand movement. They recommend this tablet for helping to prevent RSI. A good mix of this and the mouse will probably do just that.
