Wacom Intuos Medium, black pen tablet

I'm a designer and I purchased this tablet to create hand drawn lettering. I did consider the screen GFX tablets but felt that was going to be overkill. I opted for the non-bluetooth versions and saved around £30, since I didn't trust the responsiveness and expected latency. For the same reason, I do not use a wireless mouse. The build quality is good. The button are firm and 'clacky'. The pen is light but seemingly good quality. Drawing on the tablet gives a slightly feel of friction and scratchiness, but this is a good thing. It feels like the two surfaces bode well with each other. It doesn't feel like a thoughtless rough, plastic on plastic. The tablet connected immediately to my 2015 iMac. There's 4 buttons at the top, each can be assigned a function using the software which you need to download. so too can you assign functions to the 2 buttons on the pen. So far, I've only assigned undo to the tablet itself. Pressure sensitivity (something which I oddly forgot about) was surprisingly effective. There feels like no movement in the pen nib or the tablet and literally works by 'squeeze'. IAt default, it's not too light nor strong. I spent a great deal of time experimenting with this and I produced some satisfying results. The pen position on the tablet is relative to the screen, so you can't attempt to reposition the cursor on the screen elsewhere with the pen on the same spot as the tablet. The 7 inch diagonal area of the tablet represents the actual areas of the screen. so if you want to go to top right of the screen, you will always have to move the pen to the top right of the tablet. This means that there is quite a bit of arm movement. With that in mind, a graphics tablet (of this type) would never replace my mouse, since a mouse requirement minimal movement, however the tablet has a definitive and effective use in my graphic design work. Recommended!

Bought a pre-owned version, came in very good condition and worked very well, smooth and has really good touch-sensitivity. I highly recommend this tablet if you're looking to create quality art, set-up is very easy just needing to download a simple bit of software (link provided for Mac and Windows) and just a simple restart. The pen is nice to hold and easy to use, I highly recommend this :)

The wacom drawing tablet is too expensive in my opinion. You get a tablet, a connection cord and a pen. That's it. The software that's supposed make the tablet connect to my computer, made my computer restart several times. I googled it, apparently it's a common problem. The tablet was too small for my large laptop screen, it gave me wrist ache. It was a very uncomfortable drawing experience. I also wasn't used to the shortcut buttons being at the top and being few in number. I had to reach up to use the shortcut buttons, which were already pre-configured to shortcuts that I did not find useful. So I had to re-configure them. The wacom tablet surface scratched terribly. The plastic on the pen seemed prone to scuffing too. My experience drawing on my Android tablet with the wacom was surprisingly good. It was responsive and accurate. The pen sensitivity worked in most digital drawing applications. The size was also perfect for my Android tablet. I would get a bigger size of Wacom, if I wanted to draw on my laptop.

This is a perfect tablet if you are just starting out with them! I used to have a Wacom Bamboo but unfortunately they have been discontinued I believe. I upgraded to an Intuos Pro Large but found that it was cumbersome to set up and use with my small desk, so I figured I would buy a smaller tablet. I wasn’t disappointed! The tablet is a perfect size for someone with limited desk space, and anyone who also uses their keyboard for shortcuts etc, and their mouse all at the same time. The desktop range seems to be good and installing the drivers was a piece of cake! If you don’t enjoy having wires attached to your computer accessories there is a Bluetooth version. Note: Some windows 7 users (like myself) may experience permissions errors if the tablet isn’t connected and the drivers try to run, this isn’t an issue with the tablet at all but a general windows 7 error which can be easily fixed with a simple google search of said error.

I'm a training instructor and as well as running courses in classrooms in our centres and at client locations, I sometimes need to deliver classes over the internet using conferencing software and hardware. One issue with this is how on earth do you use a whiteboard? I decided to buy one of these tablets to see if it was any use. The first thing you notice is that it is smaller than you think. The box contains the tablet, which has rubber studs on the back and four mappable buttons along the top, the stylus, and a USB cable. Software is downloadable from the Wacom website. It's a cinch to set up - you can pretty much just plug it in and use it straight away, but the software allows you to remap the buttons on the tablet for your own chosen functionality, configure the screen size (important if you are using multiple monitors and have your desktop extended across them all, as the tablet assumes that the complete width of all your monitors is a single screen, unless you tell it otherwise in the app) and so on. The stylus doesn't use batteries and has some spare tips inside - just unscrew the barrel and they're stowed inside. It takes a bit of getting used to. As soon as you hold the stylus over the tablet it works as a mouse, and if you tap on the tablet surface it registers as a click, so if you really take to it I suppose you could even ditch your mouse. Of course, the tablet works with graphics software such as Photoshop and Gimp, but it also works with the likes of Microsoft Paint, Paint.Net and Windows Ink within Windows 10. For my purposes (sketches during courses) I found that Microsoft Paint or Windows Ink were absolutely fine. Sure, these "lesser" packages don't support pressure sensitivity whereas the likes of Photoshop do, but for me they were perfect. The hardest thing to remember is that as you draw on the tablet, nothing appears on it, just on the screen, but after a little while I found that it became second nature. Weirdly I did find that if I tried drawing in Paint.Net with the tablet some things didn't work so well, such as if I wrote with the stylus, or tried to draw freehand circles, but it was fine in other programs. If you're a trainer like me and you want something that will let you doodle on the screen, present courses remotely with a virtual whiteboard, or if you fancy dabbling with photo editing, this tablet is small, light, portable, and doesn't break the bank. Of course, bigger and snazzier ones are available, but this one was a brilliant buy for me.

Compared to XP-Pen and Huion tablets I've tried, including their recent ones, this Intuos performs better thanks to its superior pen. Initial activation force is very low, ideal for me as a light drawer, and lines are steady. The shortcut keys are somewhat useless due to the odd positioning up top forcing you to reach your hand over the drawing surface and block your drawing hand. I ultimately ended up only using the left corner key as a quick undo. If you use a keyboard for shortcuts, this won't matter much to you. My only real problem with this tablet is the loss of tracking accuracy with continuous strokes, which can be fixed by lifting the pen off the surface and putting it back on.

works perfectly.. and across all my ancient applications (inc. illustrator 10) easy to set up and learn, just like a mouse

Even on an old 2011 iMac, this is brilliant pointing device that has changed how I use software packages such as Adobe CS5 Illustrator & Photoshop. So much better than using a mouse for these creative programs. Although i also have a mouse connected, it is rarely used now I have a Wacom. Furthermore, it works so well as a pointing device for all other software such as MS Word, Excel and Mail programmes. A brilliant piece of kit that will enhance your user interface and improve your creative skills with a Mac or PC.

An amazing tablet. I ordered this for work with photoshop and I really like it! Now I can work faster and easier 🙏🏻

Bom preço/qualidade. Recomendo.

Fué muy sencilla de instalar. Descargar los drivers desde la página y a funcionar. Muy adecuada para principiantes, aunque si se tiene la habilidad suficiente se puede utilizar para trabajos profesionales

Ich habe dieses tablet gekauft um damit Osu! Zu spielen. Ich habe alles eingestellt und es läuft einwandfrei. Es ist sehr schön damit Osu! zu spielen da es keine Verspätungs Wiedergabe hat. Ich liebe dieses tablet!

I bought this to replace my Wacom Intuos Pro S which is very old and not supported anymore. I have a Wacom display tablet but I got issues with the cables and had to restart my computer if i wanted to use it. This Wacom Intuos M is very easy to install, easy to use and it doesn’t give me a headache with wacom center/driver. I have no problem with drawing and sculpting with a non-screen tablet such as this.
