This pen tablet is similar to the other tablets in the Intuos line but doesn’t include the multi-touch feature and the battery free pen does not have an eraser. It still works great as a drawing tablet for Mac or PC. Connect it to your computer and start creating art, graphics and editing photos or use it as an ergonomic alternative to your mouse for navigation.

This tablet is fantastic (with answers to the 1-star reviews)

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2014

Size: SmallVerified Purchase

When you read the 1-star reviews it's obviously user error in most cases - or people who just aren't familiar with the awkward getting-used-to-it phase of a first time tablet user. Yes, a tablet feels awkward at first, you have to learn to get the feel for it. But it doesn't take more than a few days. Then you'll never go back to a clunky old mouse.

To answer some of the specifics people have complained about:

1. It didn't ship with the extra nibs they promised me!
• Yes it did. They are in a little hidden compartment on the back of the tablet.

2. It has a rough, gritty surface texture!
• Have you ever used a slick tablet? Your hand sticks to it. The rough texture not only adds a wonderfully realistic friction to the feel of your pen (like drawing paper), but it prevents your greasy, nasty damp hand from sticking to the tablet.

3. It feels light and cheap and the pen is too skinny!
• It feels NICE and light to me. Like a carbon fiber bike, stiff, light and tight. The pen is on the skinny side, but I don't mind. Feels like a real pen to me. Not clunky. But if you like clunky, you can always get a pack of those foamy pencil grips, cut out a slot for the button (or don't use the buttons at all, like me) and you'll be so stoked.

4. The driver didn't work and there are no drivers available anywhere on planet earth!!
• Well you're right about that crappy driver CD that shipped with the tablet. It failed for me too. But you CAN get the drivers for this from the Wacom website. A quick download and it was up and running in a few minutes. It is admittedly hard to find the drivers with Wacom's poor site navigation. However it's easy to find if you google "wacom drivers" in which case it is the top hit: [...]
5. OMG! There's no eraser!
• I've been using Wacom tablets for 12+ years - as a professional graphic designer and illustrator, 40+ hours a week. Shoot, that's about 25,000 hours! Anyway, I've never once had the slightest want or urge to use the dumb eraser they put on the back of the pen. If you're a savvy user of your favorite graphics software, you are already switching among MANY tools with your "other" hand via keyboard shortcuts. If you can't add "E" for eraser to your repertoire, that's on you. I'm personally glad there's one less useless feature on this pen. Now it can be even lighter! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Happy "Mousing"

Great tablet for beginners, graphic designers, and game developers!

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2015

Size: SmallVerified Purchase

Note: Amazon likes to link reviews together when there are a variety of tablets to choose from. This review is for the CTL480!

The Wacom Intuos Pen Small Tablet (CTL480) is a great tablet to get started with. As a graphic designing and game developer, I've always used a mouse and it's tricky to get nice smooth lines and a natural feel when drawing/sketching. When I picked up this tablet, it was like night and day, compared to the mouse. It feels so much more comfortable and natural, exactly like drawing with pen and paper. Let's jump into the details of this tablet a little bit.

The Tablet
----------------
• Tablet overall size: 8.25" width X 7" height X 0.38" thick (Measurements were made myself)
• Tablet active drawing area: 6" width X 3.5" height (Measurements were made myself)
• Tablet has 4 "ExpressKeys" which are key shortcuts that can be used to simulate a keyboard key press, application switcher, mouse clicks, and more.

The Pen
-------------
• Pen has 2 buttons near the bottom which is similar to the tablet's "ExpressKeys" and can be set to whatever shortcut you wish.
• Supports up to pressure level of 1024 (tip pressures can be set in control panel to prevent wearing of the nibs too quickly).
• Pen does NOT have an eraser.
• Battery free, no need to charge/recharge or worry about expiring/dying batteries.
• Pen feels a little thicker than a traditional #2 pencil, but not quire as large as a mechanical ink pen.

Box Contents
--------------
• Tablet and pen
• USB cord (relatively short. Can get a longer cord/USB extender/their wireless kit accessory). I couldn't use it in my keyboard's USB ports either).
• Drivers on a CD (I just used the website's drivers without issues on Win 7 64-bit).
• Extra Rings: 2 colored rings and pen holder (blue and black).
• Replacement Nibs: Located on the tablet's backside, attached to the underside of the removable door.
• Software: Codes for Autodesk Sketchbook Express and ArtRage Studio.

Tips
-----------
• Multi-Desktop Monitors - You can restrict which monitor the tablet will work on so you don't have to scroll across multiple screens with your tablet. This also utilizes less wasted space on your active tablet area.
• Tablet Area - You can also restrict how much of your active tablet area will be used to cover your entire screen - in other words, if you don't want to move your hand across the entire tablet just to reach the edge of the screen, you can restrict the active tablet area to a smaller margin for quicker movement.
• Set program-specific functions and ExpressKey shortcuts - If you want the buttons on your tablet to do one thing in Photoshop, but another thing in GIMP, you can set that individually.
• This tablet is NOT a touch tablet - meaning you cannot use your fingers on the tablet like a laptop's touchpad. The CTH 480 offers this.

Other Thoughts
---------------
• I am one to read reviews of everything I buy to the point I start having nightmares about them. After doing extensive research, I went with this brand and tablet size and do not regret it. I was looking at cheaper options that Amazon sells, however, for the price and features, this does the perfect job. I also don't have to worry about changing/buying batteries for the pen.
• I was skeptical when reviews said that it felt like drawing on paper with the tablet. Strangely enough, this is true. If you're an artist who draws with traditional pen and paper, it shouldn't take you long to get used to the digital style of doing so with this tablet.
• Shaky Lines - I've not had this issue personally. I've noticed a few other reviews had this issue, but I'm not sure why that's happening. I don't have the most steady hands in the world, but I don't have that issue.
• You can use this tablet outside of graphic design software. It can essentially be a replacement to your mouse (after a little configuration) and be to browse the internet, emails, and 3D applications.

Final Thoughts
---------------
• Do I recommend it? Absolutely. I highly recommend it to those who are just starting out or are new to tablets. It has enough features to get you used to the feel of a tablet without breaking the bank. While it may be great for advanced tablet users as well, I feel they may benefit more with a larger size, depending on their projects and preferences. However, that does not mean the active tablet area on the CTL480 is too small to work with for beginners. Give this tablet a try. I can't believe I lasted this long without one!

Things like dragging a window bigger or smaller are a chore

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2017

Size: SmallVerified Purchase

I bought this on the advice of friends to replace the mouse in hopes that it would help resolve my carpal tunnel syndrome. I tried to get used to the pen over a period of several weeks without using the mouse once. The pen is so sensitive that I end up touching it in places on the pad that I shouldn't causing some unintended action to occur. Things like dragging a window bigger or smaller are a chore, and sometimes impossible, with the pen because of it's sensitivity. I tried changing the pen configuration to make the relative size of the screen smaller or the sensitivity of the pen less of an issue to no avail. I've gone back to using a mouse. I must say that I have a 4K monitor with a very high resolution. Maybe this is more difficult with a pen. But overall, the experience has been very frustrating. The tablet has become a very expensive mouse pad.

Bottom line, I wouldn't recommend - Read more to find out exactly why.

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2015

Size: SmallVerified Purchase

I installed the latest software with the product plugged in. I noticed while using the stylus, it was inaccurate in writing anything. First off, it starts moving/writing when you are an inch away from the pad - and apparently no settings change this. I tried every combination of the settings I could with the software. But to no working application.

Even using my best penmanship, the writing comes out very poor detail, as if my hand was vibrating the whole time. I am not even trying to draw anything fancy or write in heavy detail. I was going to use this as an additional tool to presentations, but not able to draw a straight line, or write a simple bullet point, defeats the purpose of my intended method. The cursor seems to be very buggy/sketchy/inaccurate.

Very disappointed. Doesn't come close to what the marketing says about it.

Great tablet, would buy again!

Reviewed in Canada on October 16, 2014

Size: SmallVerified Purchase

This product arrived to me a few days ahead of time and took more then an hour to figure out how to download the software. I use this tablet to play the game Osu! and i have to say that it works like a charm. This tablet also is great for my graphic design classes. I like this tablet so far and with it came everything that was promised to me. ( The three nibs were hidden in the back of the tablet in the piece of plastic you pull back to insert or take out nibs). Even though the software took forever to install and was a pain in the ass, this is still a great tablet and i would recommend it any day of the week!

Works great on Linux and Windows 7

Reviewed in Canada on December 27, 2014

Size: SmallVerified Purchase

This is our first graphics tablet, so take this with a pinch of salt:
We love it, works great!
You can rest your palm or fingers on it while drawing without interference. The stylus however registers even through paper, so you can trace printed images.
It's not small at all for children. Plenty of resolution and pressure sensitivity for the beginning artists in the family.
The packaging and the tablet itself is probably the most stylish and modern-looking thing in our household right now...

Worked on Linux Mint 17 out of the box. We use it with MyPaint mostly.
Took some manual driver downloading and installation on Windows 7, but I managed to get it to work eventually with Krita and MyPaint.

Very High Quality Product

Reviewed in Canada on January 20, 2015

Size: SmallVerified Purchase

Was nervous about buying a tablet since this is my first one, and I have to say it's pretty awesome. Unlike a mouse, wherever you hold the pen above the tablet, that's where the mouse is on the screen, so it's something to get used to, but makes more sense than a mouse once you do get used to it. Personally, I'm glad I bought the Pen version as apposed to Pen and Touch, just since this is my first tablet, and honestly I did not find anything lacking without the hand gestures. Great sensitivity, especially without the pen having any sort of batteries. Has a bunch of settings in the Windows control panel for changing basic functions, like whether or not holding the pen down does a right-click. If you use a laptop, then the cord length is just fine, but if you use a PC and the tower isn't on top of your desk or is very far away then the cord would be too short. All in all a great product, especially if you're unsure about buying, since it's less expensive than most of Wacom's tablets, but it still has a lot of functionality.

Good product, but software disappointing

Reviewed in Canada on July 11, 2014

Size: SmallVerified Purchase

This is my first tablet, so I don't have much to compare it to, but it's nice and sensitive and took less time than I expected to get used to. I would suggest you find one in store to touch though, because even though the measurements were all there, it was still smaller than I expected. The workable area is also quite a bit smaller than what you can see.

My one big gripe is with the software. While it works well mostly, it doesn't save your setting and resets every time you reboot your computer. Quite annoying to deal with, and I've been reloading my profile every time.

Wacom I need a longer cable! I don't want to have to buy a Wireless kit because you gave me a 2ft cable.

Reviewed in Canada on August 1, 2014

Size: SmallVerified Purchase

I've owned a Huion 420 before and the Wacom CTL480 is a much better tablet. The CTL480 is without a doubt aimed at hobbyists and beginners so the tablet doesn't offer too much features but that's also why it's this cheap. The tablet is very easy to learn how to use and doesn't take much time to install. A thing to take note of is that if you want your free software you need to check behind the CD they give you, it took me a while to figure out where and how to get my programs. The pen is comfortable,light ,and doesn't use batteries. Tablet is responsive, you're not going to have issues. Feels nice to draw on the tablet.

I haven't owned the tablet for too long but so far it's a good quality/price buy although the cable that comes with it is too short... I tried using another USB to micro* USB Cable but it doesn't work out, the place where you plug the cable in on the tablet is pretty small so my 'replacement' cable didn't fit. I also tried plugging the cable in a power outlet through an adaptor but for some reason it didn't work, perhaps the the adaptor didn't offer enough amperes(A). I had to change my desktop's place for me to get my tablet in a comfortable position.

Also had issues with changing the active area.

Conclusion: The tablet is definitely a good buy, especially if you got it on sale like me. The cable is too short in my opinion but if you can afford a wireless kit, go for it. Wacom doesn't offer replacement pen for the Intuos series so I wouldnt know what to do if it broke but if you're gentle I'm sure the tablet will last a long time heck even my old cheap tablet , Huion 420, is still functional besides the fact that the pen has a crack in it which made the battery flimsy.
