Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently acquired the Wacom Intuos Graphic Drawing Tablet in Black, and it has been a game-changer for my digital artwork and design projects. This compact tablet is a powerhouse when it comes to creative expression. First and foremost, the drawing experience is incredibly natural and precise. The pressure sensitivity and responsiveness of the pen make it feel like I'm drawing on paper. Whether I'm sketching, illustrating, or retouching photos, the tablet offers excellent control and accuracy. The included software is a fantastic addition, especially for those starting their creative journey. It provides a range of tools and brushes that cater to various artistic styles. It's also compatible with popular creative software, making it versatile for both beginners and experienced artists. The compact size of the tablet is perfect for portability, and it doesn't take up much desk space. The customizable express keys and touch-sensitive surface are convenient for quick shortcuts and gestures, enhancing workflow efficiency. One minor drawback is that the tablet may take a little time to get used to for those new to digital drawing, but with practice, it becomes an invaluable tool. In conclusion, the Wacom Intuos Graphic Drawing Tablet has exceeded my expectations. Its natural drawing experience, bundled software, and compact design make it an excellent choice for artists, designers, and anyone looking to explore digital creativity. I'm thoroughly impressed with its performance, and I highly recommend it to fellow creatives looking to enhance their artistic endeavors.

Absolutely love this tablet. I needed something portable for photo editing and drawing. This tablet is the perfect size to fit in any backpack or laptop bag. Super reliable and works great with all apps.

very responsive. Easy to set up nice design and comfortable pen.

First of all, make sure you get the Bluetooth version if that's what you want. The only distinguishing feature on the package is a Bluetooth logo in the lower left of the package top. Not seeing the difference between the BT and non-BT versions, I accidentally bought the non-BT. It worked fine, except that I had to use the cable. Best Buy was nice in letting me exchange for the one I wanted. Now if you want to use it with your desktop, you also need Bluetooth on your desktop. I installed a USB Bluetooth 4.0 adapter. In theory you just plug it in and it works, but I wish you good luck. You can check my review of the Insignia dongle, which is pretty mixed. The tablet install instructions were pictorial, and not intuitive. But after pushing the button one last time, it sprang to life. It seems to do everything you can do with Windows Ink, including drawing lines of various density depending you the pressure you apply. It's very convenient and, after a little practice, quite useful. Five stars if the install were better. I managed to register it on Ubuntu Linux, but haven't gotten it to do anything yet. Perhaps I need Linux Ink? It's a very cool product and the price is reasonable. If applications catch up to it, then it will be very useful. Like if I could draw in Word, or handwrite or character-recognise in some non-contrived fashion. Anyway, you need one. The small version is fine for me.

It is small and slim enough to travel anywhere with, if you don't like it wired I think there is another one like it but without the programs. Very smooth touch pen, have been using it since then. And it still works very well. The programs that came with it are very much professional works that you can get into. If needed there is like many tourtols with them and youtube to help get into it more.

this is my first wacom tablet and i do enjoy it, setting it up was easy and i find that it is way better to use for digital art compared to what i was using before (which was just my surface pen directly on the screen of my surface pro) esp due to the pressure sensitivity. its cool that you get a free software with it (i use Krita though so i haven't really tested that out) however, the reason ive given it 4 stars instead of 5 is because theres some pretty annoying design flaws; the pen rolls out of the tray very easily so ive misplaced my pen a couple times. i never have this issue with my surface pen because its magnetic and snaps to the side of my surface pro, so i wish the wacom pen could have something like this. the other issue is with the buttons on the pen. theyre located at the end of the pen's barrel, specifically the end on the side of the tip is, if that makes sense. this is right around where i hold the pen so i often end up accidentally clicking the buttons while using it. meanwhile, my surface pen also has buttons in a similar spot, but because of the way those buttons are designed (theyre pretty flat, they barely extrude from the barrel) i dont have this issue overall though, i would recommend it, and if i get more serious with digital art ill definitely consider buying one of the larger wacoms

I wish i bought this one first. I already own the larger pro tablet and bought this one for portability while travelling. This tablet is ideal for photo retouching and i actually prefer it to the larger tablet now. It works well with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and camera raw.

I originally bought this drawing for gaming and it did beyond it’s intended use drawing pad is very smooth and upper class as far as using it for gaming would definitely recommend and the drawing pad is extremely durable and easy to set up would buy again or for a friend

As described and as expected and easy to use and very helpful when you don’t have touch screen laptop

As a Chemistry professor, I need to write formulas, equations, and chem math problems, also chemical structures and lab experiment illustration. Now that I'm forced to teach on-line, I'd be lost without the Wacom-Intuos tablet. Despite its small size, it is a great tool for doing what I need to do, for the short time that I'm forced to do it. It took a bit of learning and adjusting to the pen's sensitivity, but now I feel comfortable. On my 5 yr old computer, writing was slow and some symbols and text fused together; not so on my new computer, which is very responsive. The pen has no eraser, so if you try to correct an error you must erase the whole screen. Yuk! That feature can be corrected by buying a $400+ model that's designed for a pro. Another Yuk!

This is a wonderful product to help with drawing or sketching. It is affordable in comparison to other High End Wacom products. It installed quickly into my very old Chromebook version. The drawing tablet is very accurate for detailed work. It is also portable. The best part of this product is the many trial software that Wacom offers when the product is registered with the company. I subscribed to a software which suits my needs. I'm very pleased with this product.

Having tooled around with it's larger chinese Huion counterpart for several years I finally bit the bullet of the wacom price increase and picked this up namely because I was tired of replacing pen batteries and for the free software bundle. While the surface work area is considerably smaller than what Im accustomed to with the huion, this tablet is great. I do prefer the smooth work area of the huion however, but so far this tablet has already given me far fewer compatibility headaches in various softwares. The dpi seems to scale well, the work surface is a bit rough for my taste, but does help prevent any slips that would have occured on my huion while sketching or drawing a precise line. The hotkeys actually work as intended and having a battery free pen is a lifesaver. The pressure sensitivity seems to work well, though as with any pen you will need to fine tune it to your respective program, whether it be with the wacom software or curves within your program. Overall I would buy this product again, though I'd probably go up to medium size as I use mine for art and not photo retouching like many who purchase this small tablet. Another great product from Wacom, and the bundled art software helps justify the price if you're in search of a comprehensive painting/illustration program that'll likely cost you an arm and a leg.

I was looking for an affordable drawing pad to do some creative work at home. Found this pad on sale and snagged it. Everything was as advertised. Easy setup. Plug & play. Pen is built well and feels good in the hand. Action buttons are a nice touch. Software is intuitive. Build quality all around is what I expected from Wacom. Overall, perfect for the person needing a drawing pad.

I would have given it 4 stars but only because i can’t see where i last picked my pen up from. Thst is not it’s fault, need an iPad for that. The pad itself is excellent. Easy to write on, functioned flawlessly with my Mac mini M1 which was a worry. My only complaint is some of the free trials are kind bogus and the pen’s buttons are easily pressed when holding it like you would a normal pen. It causes me to open up info boxes or move an item when i didn’t intend to. Not enough to kill the 5 star rating. For the price , you can’t beat it. Not even with a ramones brat beating bat!

This tablet gets the job done for anyone needing something small, compact, and affordable! Installation is simple enough and the button layout and the pen are incredibly receptive as well. The pen feels good to use and the tablet itself feels very nice to work with.

After trying multiple more expensive Wacom Tablets I finally settled on one I will be using for a significant amount of time. The surface is smooth and the pressure sensitivity is highly responsive for the Photoshop work that I do. Although there are larger more expensive Wacom tablets I appreciate the smooth finish on this cheaper model. The more expensive models have a rough finish that cause significant drag on the pen’s nib that interferes with allowing me to create smooth paths and make smooth strokes. The only downside to this tablet vs the more expensive ones is how cheap the pen feels. It feels largely hollow and it is a hassle to pick it up from the indent vs how convenient it was to pick it up from the pen holder the other tablets came with. Overall I would recommend this product it’s just a shame that the pen feels so cheap.

Been going back and forth about whether or not I needed to buy a tablet for my computer (because I was using an ipad) but this tablet has done WONDERS for my workflow for illustrations. I love how customizable the buttons are and just how straightforward it is to use. And the small size is a plus for my limited amount of space! Very great product.

Very responsive, compact and sturdy. Easy learning curve

Very good product. It’s been on the market for decades. The price is the best in the market as well. With some practice and a little patience, you will get used to looking at the screen while not looking at the pad. There is a cursor on the screen so you know where to place the pen with some precision. I use it for whiteboard diagrams and other simple drawings.

So far it has been working great! I thought it would be difficult to look at my laptop screen instead of my hand but it's not. If you are able to type without looking at your keyboard, I think you'll get this down pretty easy. I also love that the settings are customizable. I have been using the Corel Painter 7 that comes with it to create my own logo and to draw. For a beginner like me, it is a much cheaper option than buying a tablet with a screen. Plus I feel that for an average 15.6'' inch laptop like the Acer Nitro 5, small works just fine.
