The best Wacom tablet deals can make a difference to your digital art no matter what stage of your career you"re at. With 40-years as industry leaders, Wacom has a reputation for making some of the best graphics tablets in the world, with a price tag to match. Recently, with competitors like Huion and XP-Pen launching tablets at more accessible prices, Wacom has responded by making cheaper tablets, bringing them into the reach of more creatives.

If you"ve decided it"s time to get your own Wacom, here you"ll find a guide to the best cheap Wacom tablet deals in 2021. Our guide covers the whole range, from the most desirable Cintiq Pro down to more basic tablets such as the Wacom One. We"ve included details of what each tablet offers and links to the best deals available now. Wacom tablets are some of the best drawing tablets you can buy, and this post will help you get hold of one for a bargain price.

Wacom"s Cintiq line has been around for aeons and has seen a lot of iterations over the years, but it still offers some of the best pen displays on the market. The benefits of a pen display over a drawing tablet are clear: you can see exactly what you"re doing without having to look up at a separate screen, so you can draw much more intuitively.

The Cintiq comes in two sizes: the Cintiq 22 and the Cintiq 16. They both have HD displays with anti-glare and reduced parallax. The screens are capable of 72% of NTSC colour gamut.

The tablets have foldable legs and connect via HDMI and USB-A ports. Both come with Wacom"s Pro Pen 2, which boasts 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity and full tilt recognition. The Pro Pen 2 charges via electromagnetic resonance from the Cintiq itself, so it never needs a battery. If you want ExpressKeys (arguably vital to help boost productivity), you"ll have to buy the Express Key Remote as well (around $99.95).

The Cintiqs remain top quality devices, and some of the deals available make them a reasonably cheap Wacom tablet to consider, but as increasingly high resolutions come to be demanded, it"s worth bearing in mind the limitations of their screen resolutions.

Read our Wacom Cintiq 16 review(opens in new tab) to learn more. Below you"ll find the best prices available in your region right now.Today"s best Wacom Cintiq 16 Creative Pen Display deals

We mentioned that Wacom appears to be reacting to the arrival of cheaper competitors, and here"s the proof: a cheap Wacom tablet aimed at beginners and social media content creators. The Wacom One costs an awful lot less than the Cintiq range, with prices at around $399.95 (£359.99/€399.99).

The Wacom One has a 13-inch pen display and is compatible with Mac and Windows as well as some Android devices. It features a full HD display with 72 per cent NTSC colour and an anti-glare treated film, so it"ll look good as long as colour accuracy is not overly important to you.

It has foldable legs and it"s small enough to fit into most bags. On the downside, it uses three ports for HDMI/USB/Power cable and doesn"t have USB-C support, so you"ll need a dongle to hook it up to your MacBook or Android devices, which makes it rather more cumbersome than an iPad. You"ll also need to find a power socket if you"re using this out and about, so you may struggle to use it to work on the go. For some, this will be a deal-breaker, but others will find it a reasonable trade-off for being able to run all the apps that you have access to on laptops/Macbooks.

The Wacom One comes with the cordless, battery-free One pen that never needs to be recharged. Its 4,096 pressure levels are not as impressive as the Pro Pen 2 but still offer a natural feel when drawing. Unusually, The One also supports third-party styluses, so you have the option to look at other company"s products to combine with the device.Today"s best Wacom One (2020) deals

Designed specifically with professional creatives in mind, the flagship Cintiq Pro is not a cheap Wacom tablet, but there are still deals to be had. The range comes in 13, 16, 24 and 32-inch models, all boasting the tools and performance a professional creative needs to design quickly and effectively. They all come with the Wacom Pro Pen 2, radial menus, the Express Key Remote and an on-screen keypad, which means you can get on with your work with no need to mess around with menus and keyboard shortcuts.

The Wacom Cintiq Pro provides up to 4K resolution and an RGB 98% gamut display, so you’ll be able to see your work in superb clarity. Its etched glass screen reduces glare and reflections while offering a natural, pen on paper feel as you draw. Built-in legs raise the Wacom Cintiq Pro from 5 to 20 degrees, and there"s also the option of purchasing the Ergo stand or the PC module Cintiq Pro Engine to turn your Cintiq Pro into a creative pen computer.Today"s best Wacom Cintiq Pro (16 inch) deals

The Wacom Cintiq Pro 24- and 32-inch models also come in Touch versions. They"re expensive, but if you"re looking at the pro range, you already know that. These versions allow for multi-touch gestures, which is great if you like that way of working. They also look gorgeous in any office.Today"s best Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 Touch (2018) deals

Most of Wacom"s tablets need to be plugged into a Mac or a PC, but if you prefer to work without that restriction, in steps the MobileStudio Pro. Available in 13- and 16-inch versions, this is a graphics tablet and Windows PC rolled into one, enabling you to create wherever you find yourself.

The Wacom MobileStudio Pro 16 and 13 were updated in 2019 and 2020 respectively, adding several upgrades on their 2016 and 2017 predecessors. The 2019 version of the MobileStudio Pro 16 features a newer Intel Core i7-8559U CPU at 2.7Ghz, which can boost up to 4.5Ghz, and a 4GB NVIDIA Quadro P1000 behind the graphics. It provides 512GB SSD for storage and 16GB of RAM.

The MobileStudio Pro 13 has the same Intel Core i7-8559U as the previous model but uses an improved Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 chipset for graphics. It comes with the same amount of storage and memory. You can upgrade the SSD to 2TB, but unlike the 16 it doesn"t feature a spare RAM slot for installing extra memory.

The cameras on the front and rear have been downgraded to simple 2.1Mp cameras in place of the RealSense 3D scanning capable cameras in the previous models, but the 3D scanning was a bit gimmicky, so we doubt you"ll miss it.

If you"re an old-school designer and don"t feel the need to draw onto a screen, or if you simply don"t have the budget for a full pen display, Wacom"s Intuos and Intuos Pro offer an ideal alternative. These powerful but cheap Wacom tablets connect almost instantly to a Mac or PC via USB or Bluetooth, enabling you to start drawing immediately with almost any software you choose.

The basic Intuos costs a mere $79/£65 and comes bundled with Corel Painter Essentials, Corel Aftershot and Clip Studio Paint Pro, which gives you some quality apps to get started with. The downside to this cheap Wacom tablet is that the stylus that comes included doesn"t have tilt sensitivity or an eraser on the top like Wacom"s Pro pens.Today"s best Wacom Intuos S deals

The Intuos Pro comes in three sizes, Small, Medium and Large, and includes a touch ring and more ExpressKeys. However, the most important difference is the inclusion of a Pro Pen 2 with its enhanced pressure sensitivity, tilt functionality and the eraser that the pen on the basic Intuos lacks. The Intuos Pro also supports multi-touch gestures, making it a more complete option as a cheap Wacom tablet. Read our Wacom Intuos Pro(opens in new tab) review for more details.Today"s best Wacom Intuos Pro Small (2019) deals

Not to be confused with the Wacom One, One by Wacom(opens in new tab) really is a cheap Wacom tablet, accessible even to those that don"t even want to make the outlay for an Intuos. However, the experience is severely stripped back, and we wouldn"t recommend it for anyone who can afford one of the superior Wacom tablets. There"s no ExpresssKeys, no multi-touch support, no pen tilt and only 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity, so using this cheap Wacom tablet for anything more than basic sketching will be a struggle.

That disclaimer aside, the One by Wacom is well-made and still feels accurate to use. It could serve as an introduction to beginners who haven"t yet tried the experience of using a graphics tablet. The Intuos is probably a better place to start for creatives, but the One by Wacom has its appeal, and if you"re only looking for a tablet that avoids the dangers of repetitive strain injury, this should serve you well.Today"s best Wacom One by Wacom deals

All of Wacom"s tablets come with their own stylus – in the majority of cases, the superb Pro Pen 2. But if you want a stylus to pair with a different smart device, Wacom has some great options. Here"s a quick rundown of what Wacom currently has to offer in terms of styluses for those of you who just can"t have enough gadgets to work with.

Compatible with touchscreen devices running iOS, Android or Windows, the battery-powered Bamboo Duo works both as a stylus, with a carbon fibre tip for smooth tapping, writing and drawing on all touchscreens, and a pen, with a premium black ballpoint tip for writing on paper.

You can download the Bamboo Paper app for easy note-taking and sketching and use the Inkspace service to store, shape and share your ideas.Today"s best Wacom Bamboo Duo deals

If you find it frustrating trying to quickly sketch images on your phone or tablet when you need to get an idea down, the Bamboo Tip could be the stylus that comes to your rescue. This fine-tipped pen is compatible with iOS and many Android devices without the need to pair it. The battery lasts for around 20 hours and charges via USB.Today"s best Wacom Bamboo Tip deals

Bamboo Fineline is a smart stylus with pressure sensitivity designed for natural writing on iOS touch devices. It features a comfortable triangular design and has smart features when paired with certain apps. It also has a customisable shortcut button and a retractable tip to keep the device in good condition.Today’s best Wacom Bamboo Fineline stylus deals

There are bargains to be had if you know where to look, but to give you an idea of how the different Wacom tablets compare in terms of price, we can look at their respective RRPs. Wacom’s pen tablets are the most affordable – the small One by Wacom has an RRP of $69.95, closely followed by the Small Intuos at $79.95.

There"s a fairly big jump if you"re looking for a Wacom pen display. At the lower end, the Wacom Cintiq 16 has an RRP of $649.95/£550, but at the very top of Wacom"s tablet price range, a Cintiq Pro 32 Creative Pen Display Touch is a real investment with a price tag of $3,299.95. Finally, the Wacom MobileStudio Pro 16 pen computer has an eye-watering RRP of $3,499.95.

The Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 Touch is an attractive tablet for those wanting to improve their digital art workflow, but its shortcomings make it hard to fully recommend.

For over 15 years I have used a variety of models in the Wacom Cintiq line to create digital illustrations, graphic design, cartography, and webcomics.

Webcomics are what I do primarily, and the Cintiq 21ux is the reason why I transitioned from traditional pen-and-ink mediums into digital art, launched my decade-long webcomic, and expanded into art for many other projects. Taking a chance on that piece of hardware led to a career and new heights in my own work that I never imagined possible.

I have spent thousands of hours honing a craft, spending years exclusively with Wacom hardware. You could say that I owe everything to that workhorse of a tablet, and the Cintiqs that followed.

I say this to drive home the fact that I am a fan of Wacom"s products — and to illustrate just how disappointed I am with many of the decisions made regarding the direction Wacom is taking the Cintiq with the Pro 24 and Pro 24 Touch.

I currently use a 2018 Mac mini with a 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a Radeon RX Vega 64 via Thunderbolt 3 eGPU. Wacom provided AppleInsider with a loaner unit for three months for the purposes of this review.

We can"t speak to the retail opening experience, as Wacom shipped the review unit to us in a Pelican case more suited to the transport of nuclear weapons than a review tablet. Everything arrived clean, orderly, and ready to use.

Inside of the crate — and what you would find in the factory packaging upon retail purchase — there was the Pro 24 Touch Cintiq tablet, one Pro Pen 2 stylus with 4-color pen ring set, ExpressKey remote, pen stand with 10 replacement nibs, illustrated installation card, 180W AC adaptor and 1.8m power cable, USB to USB cable, DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable, HDMI 2.0 cable, USB-C to USB-C cable, DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort adapter, micro USB to USB cable, and a cleaning cloth.

The Pro 24 Touch"s size is massive, so be prepared to make a bit of desk space available. If you opt for Wacom"s Ergo Stand or a swing arm mount like the Flex Arm from Wacom or an Ergotron, brace yourself to create more room — but more on this in a bit.

For ports, the Pro 24 Touch features four externally-accessible USB 3.0 Type-A ports, one USB 3.1 type C port, one HDMI 2.0 port, and one DisplayPort.

Curiously, two ports are listed as USB-A ports by Wacom, separate from the main usable USB ports, but differ for being located below the tablet and not easily accessible in daily use. One of these two extra USB ports is intended for the ExpressKey remote dongle.

The model sent for review offers touch features, such as controls for managing the peripheral. It"s nice to see the improvement of the native menu inputs on this model over older versions, where the buttons seemed hidden on the back of the tablet and less intuitive.

Aesthetically, the Pro 24 Touch looks beautiful. Every new model of the Cintiq feels sleek and polished for the time period and that trend continues here.

This heft is likely due to the internal fans and components needed for the optional Wacom Pro Engine, that converts the tablet into an all-in-one tablet and PC.

That said, there is a case to be made that making products sleeker for the sake of style could impact the overall performance of the hardware. In my opinion, that is happening here on multiple fronts.

Setting up the Pro 24 Touch was very easy, with simple to follow instructions enabling you to connect the tablet, set it as the primary display, and to get you working in very little time at all. I have read commentary about firmware updates making the tablet unresponsive, but I did not experience that, so I do not have the proper level of hands-on to properly comment on the issue.

Powered up, the color range and brightness of the tablet are wonderful, the 4K display is bright and sharp, and all of the colors are beautiful. As a professional artist, color profiles and consistency from my workspace to a client"s monitor or vendors prepress is important, and it was a relief to see that the onscreen presentation of the Pro 24 Touch is spectacular.

With the Pro 24 Touch set up on my desk and powered up, there were two immediate issues that set a poor tone for the working experience. First, the native "stand" of the Pro 24 Touch is tiny. The built-in stand legs provide the bare minimum in terms of angle or ergonomic support, and offers zero rotation.

Every illustrator I know works to keep their posture at a comfortable, sustainable angle while spending long hours over their workspace. It is a way of life, and thanks to the availability of standing desks and swing arms, the long-term effects of poor posture can be slowed. But what if standing desks or swing arms are not possible for the user?

I used the native stands on the Pro 24 Touch for 45 minutes, after which I gave up due to the swell of back pain and the unhealthy angle necessary to work on the tablet in my workspace.

Sure, you could adjust to the new angle over a significant period of time, but the overall changes would be minor improvements, and my muscle memory and comfort would take a large hit. This would lead to longer work times, fatigue, and discomfort.

For example, my main workhorse is a Wacom Cintiq 22HD. The display is outstanding, it does everything I need it do, and most of all for this example, it has a large, sturdy stand that was included with the 22HD at purchase. The 22HD stand offers a wide range of angles, rotation, and comfort that dwarfs the non-existent features of the Pro 24 Touch.

The good news is that Wacom has two options with the Ergo Stand and the Wacom Flex Arm, with both compatible with the Pro 24 Touch. The bad news is that on top of the tablet price, the Ergo stand retails for $500 alone, and the Wacom Flex Arm retails for $379.

While I didn"t get to try them out, it appears that the Ergo stand is solid, sturdy, and will get the job done at the cost of dollars and additional desk space. As for the Flex Arm, I am skeptical out of the gate, as I have never seen a swing arm support a drawing tablet of this size without significant bounce or wobble.

I own an Ergotron swing arm for another purpose on my workspace, so I decided to set it up with the Pro 24 Touch, but then, another roadblock appeared.

Due to the Wacom Pro Engine options built into the Pro 24 Touch, there are no standard VESA mounting points on the tablet. Wacom will sell you another proprietary VESA mount that is compatible with the Pro 24 and allow you to use non-Wacom swing arms and mounts.

With the Towel-o-Tron 5000 in place, the tablet"s angle was adjusted to my comfort level, rotated slightly (as the towels allowed for that), and I settled in to draw.

By necessity, the Pro 24 Touch houses beefier — and louder — internal fans unlike the 22HD and other models. The fans provide cooling for the larger 4K display, and for the optional Wacom Pro Engine.

It seems other users of the peripheral encounter the same sound problem. Wacom was aware of the issue as well, and eventually released a firmware patch that allowed users to lower the frequency of the fan speed from "Automatic" to "Low", reducing the frequency of fans spinning up. Based on our inquiries, retail models do not ship with this firmware installed, leaving it for the user to hunt down and install.

Again, these fans are necessary for the technical specifications involved. But compared to the Cintiq 21ux and other similar models, it can"t be seen as a positive step forward, and hopefully Wacom will listen to their consumer base and its concerns.

On the positive side of things, once the Pro 24 Touch was up and running, secured, and the fan noise reduced, I spent roughly two weeks working on it every day, for upward of 12 hours each day, and sometimes more. The size of the display, the beauty of the colors, and the 4K resolution are impossible to ignore. It is gorgeous and incredibly responsive.

The technology behind the new Pro Pen 2 and the Pro 24 Touch feels precise. With my settings dialed in for pressure sensitivity, my line work paid dividends.

The touch features are an added bonus for those who like to blend their use of stylus and touch controls from smaller tablet use. I experimented with the feature, but my personal preference is to only use stylus and mouse. I disabled the touch features after triggering them one too many times by accident, but I am glad that it is an option.

The ExpressKey remote is a wonderful tool that provides all of the functionality of the buttons included on older models, with the freedom to move the remote to a space comfortable for the user. The quick keys on the remote can be set to behave in a variety of ways, and I used it for zooming in and out in Photoshop, using CMD-Z, and other macros.

There are issues with a few of Wacom"s choices and their proprietary accessories, but once I settled into using the Pro 24 Touch and started to live with it, I found myself in a comfortable space, enjoying the 4K screen, colors, and added workspace.

I do not like the up to $500 added cost for a Wacom-official solution just to get the tablet into a comfortable working position. I hate that I needed to buy a special VESA mount that will only ever work with this tablet, and even then, I still needed to use towels to make everything feel safe and comfortable.

If I purchased just the Pro 24 for $1,999, added $400 for the Flex Arm, and learned that I still needed the Towel-o-Tron 5000 to feel safe, as a consumer, I would be irate and I would question any future Wacom purchases.

For me, the Pro 24 Touch is absolutely not worth the added cost for the touch feature. In most cases, the touch feature tripped over itself while I worked, and led to me disabling all of it. Internet research shows that I am not alone in this regard.

Unless you have the extra income to spare for stands, need the added screen area, or intend to make use of the Wacom Pro Engine, the cost for even the Pro 24 standard doesn"t feel worth it. It"s a hard call, but what I"m seeing here just does not meet my expectations for what Wacom and the Cintiq line have delivered for years.

There are many good things about the Pro 24 line, but the cons of lack of comfort, poor mounting options, and fan noise push it outside of my acceptable adjustment pains. The Pro 24 and Pro 24 Touch feel like the focus was placed on sleek design and gimmicks while taking a step back from practical use and comfort.

The Pro 24 could be great, but for me, it misses the mark. In a time where other companies are jumping into the drawing tablet market, such as with the XP-Pen Innovator 16, it still feels like Wacom is the industry leader, but there could be contenders to the throne in a few years. If Wacom rests on its laurels, the market could become fierce — and that would be a good thing overall.

This all said, I still love Wacom products. My 22HD is nearing retirement and the time to replace it is looming on the horizon. I am going take a long look at the Wacom Cintiq 22 that is an update to the 22HD I currently use. At $1,199 it is cheaper than the Pro 24, includes a stand that is vastly more adjustable, and feels like a better value for the money.

One of our editors spoke in our discussion forums about how score assignment is the toughest (and potentially least valuable) part of a review, but modern market forces on the Internet effectively require it. As I"ve mentioned, a drawing tablet has made all the difference in my career, but it has also made me picky about what I like about them and what I don"t.

These same factors may or may not apply to you. You may be fine with the fan noise. You may be fine with splashing out another $500 or so on Wacom"s official stand. If you"re in the market for a tablet, and those things don"t bother you, then you"ll like this giant tablet very much.

Wacom has announced the Cintiq Pro 27 (via Gizmodo), its latest pen display for creative professionals such as photo editors and digital artists. It takes on a new look more similar to that of a traditional computer monitor, and features a compact design with slim bezels, 4K resolution, HDR support, and a customizable pen.

The Cintiq Pro 27 comes in at $3,500 and is available to buy now direct through Wacom or third-party retailers. That price frustratingly doesn’t include a stand, which is required now that Wacom has removed the retractable legs found on older Cintiq models. The official Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 Stand will set you back an additional $500, and is fully adjustable, supporting 20 degrees of display rotation. If you’re not keen on Wacom seemingly being inspired by Apple’s Pro Stand upselling methods, the Cintiq Pro 27 does thankfully support standard VESA mounts, enabling you to use third-party alternatives.

This new drawing tablet has a 16:9 (3840 x 2160) display with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 400 nits of peak brightness. It features a 120Hz refresh rate (up from 60Hz on older models) and a 10ms typical response time for fluid motion and low latency. The Cintiq Pro 27 is Pantone and Pantone SkinTone validated and supports 99 percent Adobe RGB and 98 percent DCI-P3 coverage.

Right off the bat, it’s clear that the bezels on the Cintiq Pro 27 are significantly smaller than those found featured on previous Pro line tablets, such as the Cintiq Pro 24. In fact, as noted by Gizmodo, they’re so much slimmer, that the 27-inch Cintiq Pro 27 display tablet is actually smaller overall than the 24-inch Cintiq Pro 24, despite its larger screen. They even have a similar weight, with the Cintiq Pro 27 weighing 15.9 pounds, against the Cintiq Pro 24’s 15.8 pounds.

The textured grips on the rear of the tablet each have four programmable buttons, allowing you to move the device while adjusting brushes or settings. Image: Wacom

Those chunky bezels have been used on older Wacom tablets as a place to house express keys (built-in programmable buttons), or in later models simply as a place to rest your palms. Nevertheless, they made many of the tablets look dated, despite their practicality. If you don’t want to buy Wacom’s ExpressKey Remote ($100) to have access to express keys then good news: on the rear of the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 you’ll find a total of eight programmable buttons built into ergonomic grips. There are four buttons on each, with the form factor allowing creative professionals to better manipulate the tablet into a comfortable position while having access to four express keys on each side. You’ll also find the power input, an HDMI 2.1 port, a MiniDisplayPort, two USB-C ports and a USB-A port on the back of the device.

The included Pro Pen 3 has a number of improvements, giving creators the ability to customize the three pen buttons, grip thickness, weight, and even center of balance thanks to some included interchangeable components. The stylus doesn’t require power of any kind, has 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity and supports enhanced tilt recognition. The Pro Pen 3 will be compatible with older Cintiq Pro and Intuos Pro tablets, and can also be purchased on its own for $130.

Tablets from the brand like Wacom one are compatible with a limited number of Android devices and Android adapters. However, Wacom Intuos (CTL4100 and CTL 6100 models) is now compatible with a wider selection of Android smartphones and tablets using Android 6.0 OS or later. Android devices that are compatible with Wacom Intuos are Asus, Huawei, Lenovo, LG, Nokia, Oneplus, Oppo, Samsung, Vivo, Xiaomi, and more. To connect your Wacom Intuos with your Android device, a special USB OTG adapter is needed.

Wacom is a name that digital artists recognize. The company specializes in drawing surfaces for digital art, and its latest, the Wacom One, lives up to the brand’s stellar reputation.

The Wacom One is a pen display, meaning your project is displayed right on the drawing surface. You can use it to create digital art, annotate articles or spice up photos and videos. It can even connect to certain Android smartphones. The surface feels smooth beneath the pen, with a high degree of accuracy and range of pressure sensitivity. And through all of 2020, you’ll get access to some great software — more specifically, up to six months of access to Clip Studio Paint Pro, two months of Adobe Premier Rush CC and full access to Bamboo Paper. Soon, you’ll also receive a six-month trial of Adobe Fresco. If you buy the Wacom One now, you’ll get this when it becomes available.

The One is 14.1 inches wide, 8.9 inches tall and less than an inch thick. The area in which you can draw is 11.6 by 6.5 inches. With a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, you get a nice display with a good amount of space to work with. The surface has rounded edges and large black bezels around the display. Along the top edge is a single port for both power and connecting to your computer. In the center is a cloth loop in which the pen fits snugly. On the right is the power button with an indicator light beside it.

The back of the device is off-white with “Wacom One” engraved in the center. Near the top is a long rubber bar for traction when you lay it down flat. On both sides of this bar are foldable legs that let you prop the surface up to a 19-degree angle. Tucked behind the right leg are three replacement nibs for the pen. Beside them is a small hole in which you insert your pen to remove the old nib. Replacements can be inserted by hand. Down at the bottom of this side are two rubber nubs that also provide traction.

Out of the box, you’ll receive the Wacom One X-Shape Cable, an AC adapter for it, and, of course, the Wacom One Pen and the drawing surface. The cable is composed of four cords, two on each side of a central divider. One pair consists of a USB cable and an HDMI cable, both of which plug into your computer. The other pair consists of the power cable and the cable that plugs into the Wacom One itself. The pen is shaped ergonomically and made with a soft plastic, and near the tip is a single button that you can configure for virtually any function.

From setup to use,the Wacom One is easy and natural to use at any skill level. A card in the box instructs you on how to plug in the X-Shape Cable and how to set up your tablet and software. To download the latest drivers, all you have to do is go to Wacom’s download page, search “Wacom One” and select your OS. Then, you’ll go to the Wacom One Getting Started page, which contains simple instructions on how to register your device and redeem your free software.

Because the One acts as a second monitor, you can move your mouse to the right side of your screen and keep going onto the display. Likewise, you can drag any program window there and start using it. After you’ve downloaded the programs mentioned above, it couldn’t be easier to start trying them out. When I’m not drawing, I like to use it for reading or watching videos while I’m doing something else on my main screen.

Drawing on the Wacom One is immensely satisfying. I have used drawing pads before, such as Wacom’s Intuos Pro, but I have never used a pen display. While I was able to get used to drawing on my Intuos but looking up at my computer screen, operating right on the display feels so much better. On the One, I can get up close and inspect my line work or annotate documents with ease. Plus, the quality of the surface and pen are second to none. The surface is so smooth as you draw on it; the pen glides effortlessly with each stroke. And with pen angle support of up to 60 degrees, drawing and writing feels as natural as on paper.Its 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity make the experience even more seamless. Your hand doesn’t get in the way either, since the surface only reacts to the pen.

Using the Wacom Tablet Properties application, you can adjust a number of settings for your tablet and pen. For example, you can adjust the firmness required for different pen pressures. You can also assign the function of the button on the pen, or configure on-screen controls so you barely have to touch your keyboard.

I got to try out the One briefly with an Android phone, and the experience itself doesn’t differ much. Naturally, there’s the initial curiosity when you see an Android program on the pen display. But the utility comes in major handy when you need to produce something precise and put it directly back in your phone. It’s difficult to use your hand on a relatively small screen to, for example, create a quick sketch or list. TheWacom Oneremedies this easily.

I had a ton of fun exploring the programs that come with the Wacom One. First, we have Clip Studio Paint Ex (and Pro). This art program has it all — loads of pens, brushes and filters, as well as great functions like animation and drawing with vectors. The interface is clean and understandable, with vital tools like brush selection, brush size, color selection and layers available on either side. Said tools are intuitively displayed too, with a preview of how a brush stroke will look and circles showing you how big your available brush sizes are.

Bamboo Paper is unlike any program I’ve used before. The emphasis seems to be balanced between art and utility. It’s much simpler than an art program, with no layers and fewer brushes. When you open up the program, you can select a “notebook” and the type of paper you want to use. From there, you can use several tools like a pencil, marker or watercolor brush to create art, blueprints, notes or whatever you want. At times I used it for doodling and hashing out visual ideas, and at other times I used it for lists and notes. I had a lot more fun with it than I expected, and it really feels like you’re opening up a notebook or sketch pad. Of course, a program like this is most valuable on a pen display. And the Wacom One is so smooth and high-definition, you might forget you’re using a digital art tablet.

Adobe Premiere Rush CC is one of the most user-friendly video editing programs I’ve witnessed. The interface is absolutely devoid of clutter, so beginners won’t have any trouble starting out with the basics. For the experts, beneath the surface are the powerful tools you’ll be looking for, like motion graphics templates, advanced transitions and manual volume adjustment. And with up to four video tracks and three audio tracks, you can set up simple and complex projects alike. The Wacom One is great for creating graphics in your videos, or as a second display to keep your workspace tidy.

The Wacom One is an exemplary representation of a Wacom drawing tablet. It’s got a nice display size, just the right size for desktop use. The sensitivity, accuracy and screen resolution make for an immersive and responsive drawing experience. Plus, the bonus software gives you a great array of programs to take advantage of its best uses.

Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, I cannot recommend the Wacom One enough. Pick yours up for $399.95 at amazon.com and start getting creative.

I see you posted this a long time ago, but wonder if you are still using this setup and how it has coped with all the situations you have thrown at it over the last year and a half? Have touch-base been keeping all the drivers up to date for Sierra etc.?

Really I"m most interested in finding out if the Adonit Jot or some other Bluetooth stylus you have found designed for capacitive touch displays has MacOS/OSX drivers so I can use the side buttons to do right and middle click.

For me I just want a decent size UI screen for my video editing and finishing applications like Assimilate Scratch and DaVinci Resolve to replace my current Wacom Cintiq 13HD which I have enjoyed using for some time but find just too small for many of my most often used applications. With it and a keyboard I can do everything I want, fast and efficiently, I just end up hunched up a bit too close to the screen to see and accurately hit the UI buttons. Unfortunately the next step up in size from Wacom to a 22"HD is £1400 GBP (Approx $1750 USD at current exchange rates)! This I find extremely hard to justify cost wise, but I do find going back to a mouse or magic pad so slow by comparison (though I do miss the multitouch swipes from my MacBook). I have looked at similar pen displays from other manufacturers and even bought a Huion GT-185 but just found the quality of the display (only 6bit panel with dithering to approximate 8 bit) and software drivers to be too poor for general use, with pointer accuracy impossibly bad near the edges of the screen. A newish kid on the block is the Asus PT201Q which has a mac driver, is available for the £600 price of my Wacom Cintiq 13HD, has multitouch and pen with buttons, is an ideal size and reports suggest a decent screen, but the latest OSX drivers are dated early 2015 so likely don"t support Sierra and may not be due to be getting any updates to do so if they haven"t already at this stage. These are all products for artists looking to sketch with pressure sensitivity though and, whilst it can be fun to play with, I don"t need that for my work, I just need hover, click, right click and middle click. Swipes and gestures can be very helpful too. Frustratingly it seems that Microsoft have seen this particular set of commonly useful elements and built them in to their Surface devices and even have the 3 button surface pen which seems ideal if only it had MacOS drivers. I am very close to moving to Windows to have this option and the kind of hardware flexibility for the top end that is missing these day from Apple computers. The only things holding me back are some MacOS only software tools that are essential to my work.

Apple continue to re-iterate how multitouch on computers is something they have looked at and decided they aren"t interested in. Unfortunately, as with many decisions from Apple, this decision leaves those with specific use cases where it can be extremely beneficial or even essential (e.g. for artists painting or drawing on a computer), out in the dark. I can appreciate that it wouldn"t work well for many desktop apps without a redesign of the UI, and iMacs would need new lay flat and tilt stands to make them comfortable to use like this, but there are many situations where it works very well indeed and provides enormous productivity gains. Maybe the stylus with buttons is the missing link here, for me it really is what helps bridge the mouse/trackpad pointer paradigm to enable direct on screen interaction for conventional desktop software, I wonder if they looked at multitouch on desktop in context of a stylus with buttons? Anyway, for me it works brilliantly to have a stylus and a number of applications I use are designed around either a stylus or touch screen and I want to be able to drive my high powered workstation with one. With the Apple pencil and iPad Pro they have demonstrated how they could make brilliant products that satisfy this niche, leaving those of us occupying it frustratingly tantalised by the possibilities. The new 4K and 5K LG / Apple partnership displays and their wide colour gamut beautiful displays also tantalise. I want those with multitouch and a stylus!

Anyway, for now I hope that a solution can be cobbled together to make a 3 button pen and multitouch display setup work on OSX/MacOS, with a decent quality 8 or 10 bit 22" IPS display of at least 1080P HD resolution (ideally higher)! Or if it can"t be done with existing products on the market then I hope a company comes along and makes one!
