Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great wacom tablet for graphics & photo editing. Fairly simple installation but could be easier with plug and play.

Works amazing with photoshop. Getting to actually feel like I’m drawing is a good plus versus trying to do everything with the mouse.

BOUGHT FOR MY SON FOR PRESENT AND HE LOVES IT, SO THANK U VERY MUCH

I love to draw. I love using computers. I was expecting that this might be a nice way to combine the two "loves" and so off I went to get this product. I can't think of anything about this product that I would recommend, however. INSTALLATION IS A NIGHTMARE I am not sure why companies continue to put instructions into a product in the smallest size possible and where font and color are nearly useless to read. The "instructions" for this are a multi-fold tiny thing where the IMPORTANT setup URL is printed in small font and in light blue - I'm sorry, I wear glasses and it was almost impossible to read the CRUCIAL setup information. What should have taken 5 minutes ended up being a 15 minute exercise in hating the product. Once I was able to successfully get the setup URL typed in, this thing continued to be a clunker of a product - install the software for this and you have to restart the computer. Then you have to go back to the setup area of the website and then you find you have to register the product - mine did not automatically register even though it was recognized by the computer via bluetooth. Only after I installed the updated driver did the service recognize the device and automatically register it - and you have to register in order to get the free software that comes with it. USAGE The pen sucks - it is not well designed and I'd hate to work with it - the setup guide was horrible in configuring hitting buttons on the pen and then going to the right corner. It is as if the designers of this pen assumed we've used one before. The more I used it the less likely I'll ever use it. CONCLUSION I don't know why you would buy this - it is not well designed and is fairly cheap in construction - the pen is awful in weight and overall design - it is like holding a heavy straw cut down in height. And since the support on the website is rather tepid, the ONLY way I'll ever learn to use this thing is to use it. And it is not intuitive which means I'll likely let this collect dust. I would not recommend this - or - go to a store and actually see if there are real products you can test to see if they are any good. This one is designed to a specific low price point and is not ready for prime time.

Well, I was excited to try this tablet since I always enjoyed art classes when I was young. Since, I'd focused on music, and less on visual arts. This tablet seemed a reasonable way to see what I thought of more modern methods of sketching/painting. The software that you can download with this tablet definitely seems top notch. Two of the three options really are free, and the third (for doing comics and manga) is free for 2 years, then requires a subscription. In the brief time that I’ve used this, I’ve found that this software is very powerful, and has a tremendous amount of versatility for doing whatever you may like. I have also found that I really don’t like using a pen on the tablet in such a fashion. It feels wholly unnatural to be trying to sketch and not looking at your hand. Furthermore, having your hand at a different angle from the screen requires even greater adaptation. All in all, I’d say that buying this little tablet gets you some powerful software for any graphics editing. However, it doesn’t feel functional from a hardware perspective. The amount of adaptation required to sketch at a different angle and in a different location from your hand is just too much for me to overcome.

The Wacom Intuos S is a great start for new artists out there! Make sure that your computer supports Bluetooth before purchasing this specific model, though.

The pad is great; the pen has an unfortunate stench that lingers and coats the fingers. It's a manufacturing stench that often inhabits Chinese-made rubberized products.

Beware Mac users. Express keys do not work on Mojave. And it's a frustrating, time-consuming experience trying to get help from customer support. Simple answers are not provided. Wacom needs to create a new driver/firmware to correct this problem. Apple released Mojave on September 24, 2018. Why is Wacom delaying the fix for the Intuos? Also, before buying this Intuos Small, I purchased the Intuos Pro Small and returned it after the CD rejected driver installation because it said it would not work on software prior to 10.6 and my operating systems are 10.12 on MacBook and 10.14 on iMac. Also, the small Pro has a battery while the medium and large models do not. So, given the battery and message from CD rom, Wacom is selling 5-year old models to unsuspecting customers who believe they’re buying new technology. Why would Wacom upgrade medium and large, but not small? I believe I know why. Do you?

This Tablet works great but unfortunately it is not recommended to be used with adapters. My MacBook doesn't have USB ports and whenever I try to plug in my tablet to the adapter the pen never connects and the application starts not responding till I have to force quit. Every time want to use the pen and tablet correctly I must uninstall the software then reinstall, then repeat the process over again next time I want to use the tablet

My wife bought this tablet for use with her Samsung Galaxy Book S running Windows 10. The driver software from Wacom installs, but never sees the tablet, whether it is connected via USB or Bluetooth. Found troubleshooting instructions online which told me to stop/start the service in Windows, but that did not work. Taking this back. If you have a Samsung Galaxy Book S and want a tablet for drawing, DO NOT BUY THIS.

Bought this for our daughter (14 and very artistic) but it wasn't that great and we returned it.
