Intuos M, Pen Tablet, incl. battery-free Wacom Pen 4K | Drawing Tablet (PC required) with Wacom's natural pen experience, accurate control for drawing, painting and photo editing

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.

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!

I am a Linux Mint user. I got a Wacom tablet because I had read these are the only ones that have native linux support. One thing I want to clarify is that the maker itself does not provide linux drivers, however it does redirect you to the github page that provides these. Linux Mint does in fact have pre-installed the drivers, however I had to update one or two of them in order to get it to work. However, after trying for several hours, I could not get the tablet settings to recognize the buttons, and I had to change the settings for them manually from the terminal.All in all, it will work, it is a good product, but you might find it is not as easy to get it to work on your linux distribution as you might have expected.

Finally upgraded from my old secondhand Intuos 3 and this was a very welcome shift! Lightweight, pleasant to hold, the pen holder and buttons feel fine so far, no technical issues that I’ve noticed. The storage of the spare nibs in the end of the pen is handy, and I’m sure I’ll be glad of it and stop lightly mourning the loss of an eraser button on the end of the pen, once I actually have to change the nib for the first time.The medium is, in my opinion, a perfect size. Although I know that’s very dependent on what surface one uses the tablet on.The inclusion of 2 years’ use of Clip Studio Paint is very neat too! I’m personally used to Paint Tool SAI and continue to mostly use that but this has given me a good opportunity to give CSP a go and see what all the fuss is about. It seems great so far. I know a lot of people who use it as their primary art programme. I will say though to anyone unsure, this includes the version that lets you do animation, but only 1 second’s worth. But if that’s not a deterrent for you then yay!TL;DR: does what it says on the tin and I’ve had no trouble with it so far! (Mine was no Bluetooth, and medium sized, and black.)

I bought this for my nephew to use as he does CAD and Photoshop work. I had let him try my Wacom Intuos Pro prior to this and he’s more than happy with this Intuos Medium model.There is a difference in the stated between the Pro models and this version of the Intuos. I’m referring here to the pressure sensitivity, however, in practice this hasn’t caused any problems for my nephew’s usage. Looking at the price difference between this tablet and my own Intuos Pro, it’s very hard to justify the Pro version. I think only someone doing actual painting/drawing with the tablet might find the higher sensitivity noticeable (perhaps for extremely light pencil strokes).This Inuos Medium cost less than I paid for my Small Intuos Pro so I think that in future I’ll be unlikely to go Pro. This tablet is just very good value. It’s also about the same overall size as my Small Pro while having a working area of 8x10 inches compared to 6x4 inches on the Pro Small.One final thing I like with this tablet is the recess on the tablet for placing your stylus. I always end up with my stylus rolling about the desk as I can’t be bothered with the standalone stylus storage that I have.So those are my thoughts and I hope they can help you.

I haven't had a drawing tablet before, so I was a bit unsure whether I should get one. Having finally bitten the bullet and purchased this, I wish I'd bought one sooner! It makes digital drawing a hell of a lot easier, and I haven't had any issues with it at all!It's also managed to survive being dropped a few times, and I can bring it around with me where-ever I might need in my bag without worrying about it being damaged, which is a bit of a relief! This tablet can survive a clumsy owner!I bought the small, and the size is perfectly good in my opinion, there's enough room to draw properly on it.The free software is nice, and I do use it occasionally, but I feel it works best with Paint Tool SAI.

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

Good tablet but like other reviews posted the product registration and setup is just a joke! Takes you round in circles making it impossible to get the free software bundle. Terrible service from Wacom. This should not be an issue.

È la prima volta che uso la tavoletta grafica, devo dire che sono rimasto molto soddisfatto. Il prodotto è come lo immaginavo.... Eccellente, soddisfa a pieno le mie aspettative, L'HO comprato per usarlo con illustretor e photoshop, ho fatto centro. Si usa al posto del mouse

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.

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.
