Wacom Creative Pen Tablets

Learning About Wacom Intuos Tablets

When you'd rather draw than type, Wacom Intuos tablets give you pen and paper utility in digital form. Compact and portable, there are Wacom smartpads and graphics tablets to suit creatives of all skill levels.

How Do Wacom Intuos Pen Tablets Work?

You connect Wacom Intuos tablets to your computer wirelessly with Bluetooth, or by wired USB cable. Write and draw on the pad with the special stylus, and a sensor in the tablet tracks the movement, transmitting the information to your computer. Easily switch between tools in your software with the battery-free Wacom stylus.

Choosing Your Wacom Intuos Tablet

If you're a creative or graphics professional, consider a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet. This is the only model that comes in small, medium, and large sizes. The Pro features an advanced pen, and is highly customizable, so you can design the gestures and hotkeys that work best for you.

Beginner or casual users might prefer the budget-friendly standard Intuos models. They're easy to use, as they have fewer touch and pen functions. They come with free graphics software, downloadable after registration.

Can I Use a Wacom Intuos and a Mouse?

Wacom drivers don't affect mice, and neither a tablet nor a mouse will disrupt the operation of the other, making it possible to use both on one computer. Connect dual input devices if you frequently switch from standard computing actions to specialized creative work.

What Software Do I Need for Wacom Intuos Pro Tablets?

The Pro version comes with the Wacom software you need for installation. Beyond that, you'll need commercial art and design software. Adobe Photoshop and other popular programs are optimized for use with Wacom Intuos Pro tablets. Wacom consults with software companies to give you the best sensitivity, control, and features from all Wacom Intuos Pro pen and touch tablets.
