I ordered the medium tablet. I really like this a lot! it's my second Wacom product I've ever own (the first being my "Cube i7 Stylus Tablet" imported from China. It has a Wacom digitizer built in it, but because the pen is very small and the tablet is tempered glass, it's very difficult to draw on.). The Pro is actually bigger than I thought (looks more like a large). And it takes a little bit to get used to, but it's a great product. When I draw on the tablet, it really feels and sounds like paper because of the matte finish.
What my box included:
- The tablet
- The Pen with eraser and left & right buttons on the side.
- Changeable color rings (red, white, grey, and black).
- Pen stand with changeable nib tips inside.
- Installation disc.
- USB to plug into the computer for charging or wired use.
- Battery and sensor (for wireless use).
Several questions from interested buyers:
1: Does the tablet have a switch for "Touch-On" or "Touch-Off".
2: Is the tablet very responsive with palm rejection?
3: Can the tablet be used as a mouse?
4: Can I draw with my left hand or any position if I switch the tablet around?
5: Does it work best wired or wireless?
1: When I first got the tablet, there was already a "Touch-On/Touch-Off" button. There's 8 Express Keys on the tablet, including the circle button. The "Touch" button was on the bottom of the "Settings" Express Key, which looks like a line on it. It might be different for some consumers.
2: Yes, the tablet is very responsive with palm rejection. I haven't had one problem drawing while my hand was resting on the tablet.
3: Yes, it's a pretty good mouse when used with your fingers. You can also customize various gestures. As for using the pen for a mouse, it's not so good. I would avoid it. It's pretty bad.
4: Yes! You can adjust the tablet in any position. But you have to set it up manually first before flipping the actual tablet around. After you've installed the Wacom drivers, search for "Wacom Tablet Properties" on your PC (Since I got Windows 10, I typed it in the Cortana Search Bar). Near "Tools", click on "Grip Pen". you will see three tabs listed below: "Pen", "Eraser", and "Mapping". Click on "Mapping". Next, you will see an image of a computer screen, a tablet, and a red-like box linking them to each other. On the right side of it, it reads: "Orientation". Select which orientation you want. I use "ExpressKeys Right" for my left hand and flip my tablet over. And you're done!
5: I hear a lot of complaints from users that the USB cord gets loose, and so it loses it's connectivity. So far, that hasn't happened to me. I don't move my tablet, so I never had it shutting off on me. Therefore, it works great. As for wireless, I haven't tried it yet. I sit at my desk a lot, so there's no need to get up to move around and use it. It's a great edition, but I don't need it. However, when I get the chance, I hope to try it out and do an update on it.
*Some suggestions for consumers ready to buy this tablet:*
-If you're a novice to drawing and just doing it for a hobby, I would not get this product. I would go for the "Wacom Intuos Art" or "Manga" line. They're pretty cheap.
-If you're looking to get serious with your career but you never used a Wacom tablet, I suggest this one for starters. It's the most commonly used by Illustrators and Graphic Designers.
- If you're a total pro, but not comfortable looking at a screen and drawing on a tablet at the same time, then go for the "Wacom Cintiq" line. But be warned: It's quite expensive! (At least $900 - $2,000 depending on the size.)
Here are some suggested tablet sizes that perhaps fit best with your PC display:
*Less than 12 inches = small tablet
*12 - 23 inch screen = medium tablet
*23 inches and up = large tablet
| Screen Size | 6.7 inches |
