Primary use is for photo editing on Apple Mac; basic brush work, slider control etc. I don't edit on any other devices other than the Mac.

Exhausted all options and hacks to get the Apple Pencil and/or trackpad to work acceptably and have come to conclusion that a dedicated stylus and pad are in order. Many years ago I used an Intuos tablet and pen with Adobe Lightroom on a Windows machine. Loved it.

Have moved away from both Windows and Lightroom.

Are the Bamboo line of tablets worth the try in my use case? Trying to not make a costly mistake. Or, do I have to move up the Intuos Pro line? And if this is the case, are the pre-2025 units still viable?

I have a Bamboo rechargeable stylus I used with a dedicated app on an iPad years ago.. would nice to repurpose that. It's been sitting in a draw for years.

I plan on upgrading my tablet, I currently have a Huion which had a short life with me but I'm selling it for anyone interested.

In any case my choice is a 24" Xencelabs or Wacom. I have owned one Wacom 22" Touch in the past, moved to Huion now want to make the right choice as I plan to own this one longer then I did the Huion which was only a few short years. I like that the Xencelabs is Calman ready cause I'm concerned about color.

hi! a friend of mine recently bought a wacom tablet from value village. as far as we can tell, the tablet seems to work, as it turns on and all that jazz. however he didn’t manage to find the stylus.

I don’t use wacom tablets, but i know for huion tablets, there’s a specific stylus you need to use. is this the case for wacom tablets? if so, where can i get a stylus for his tablet? i tried to check the website, but it don’t give me any hits. anyone know where i can find one?

thanks in advance!

Since the Movinkpad11 has been out for a while now, has anyone experienced major lag or latency when drawin in their brush strokes?

Im thinking of bying it but im worried about its processing power and latency.

Hi everyone,

I have a Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14 (Android) and a Huion Kamvas 22 Plus connected to a Windows PC.

I recently got a TourBox Elite Plus and I’ve successfully paired it with both devices (Windows via TourBox Console and Android via the app). Everything works great on each device individually.

My question is:

What is the correct / recommended way to switch between the two devices? Do you disconnect/reconnect each time?

Is there a specific shortcut or workflow that works best without messing up connections or having to re-pair every time?

Thanks in advance!

Hello! I’m considering the Movinkpad Pro 14, primarily for drawing with Clip Studio. The reviews and threads here have convinced me that it will be great for that. However it would be nice to be able to do some other stuff with it, but a lot of the comments I’ve seen say it’s sub-par outside of art. I was hoping a current user could let me know of their experience using it for things like photo editing, light video editing, and general stuff like Google docs and email. Not fussed about games or watching movies / social media etc.

Thank you in advance for any steer you can give me.

This is a great device especially for work travel. But when connected to my pc, it can’t detect my hovering nib with makes working in photoshop a pain.

This isn’t a problem when I use moonlight but I can’t use it with hotel WiFi. Help!!

just used a drawing tablet for the first time (kamvas 16 pro) and i tried looking for a wireless one for myself. but it seems like they are all wired only, a standalone computer, or doesn't have a screen. i want it for my pc for individual brush strokes on my drawing software's. not full png files to import to my pc. but my pc is connected to a tv about 10 feet away. so i need something wireless. i saw some wacom wireless tablets, but they all seem to be screenless drawing pads which i have no idea how those are even used. i know this isn't a wacom specific question as i don't need specifically a wacom, but i figured you guys would know the options out there as my googling isn't getting me anywhere

I’ve had a Mint Wacom intuos for about 5 years and it’s finally being weird and messing with my pen, should I get the Wacom intuos pro 2025 or 2017? Kinda anxious to use eBay and end up getting scammed or anything,,

I have a Movink and I've been using the Pro Pen 3 that came with it. Today it began lagging spontaneously, the cursor barely follows the pen's movement, the buttons work with a crazy delay. Reinstalling drivers didn't help. I'm using a macbook. And my old Grip Pen works just fine. If anyone can help I will really appreciate it!

I just finally got my Wacom One 14 set up, and I'm having some issues with the pressure. It doesn't work on my copy of Paint Tool Sai, but works fine on Clip Studio Paint. How can I fix this?

Hi everyone, I'm interested in the Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14 and I've heard about the drivers in beta and I was very curious about the wireless display and touch controls in terms of how stable they are and how often they're updated was planning to make a purchase in the next month or two. I'm coming from a graphic design background that's getting into photo retouching and I do some illustration work the last time I bought a tablet was in 2015 when they had their last Android Wacom tablet.

Ideally this would be my primary tablet I'm very much an on the go user and like the option of being portable my work requires me to be on the move a lot it was gonna be this one or the huion kamvas 13.3 pro 2.5k or the huion kamvas 16 pro gen 3.

My current daily driver's laptop is a framework 16.

If anyone can give me their thoughts and what it feels like currently that would be much appreciated I see a lot of reviews but I don't know how the drivers are going currently.

My trustee Huion Kamvas 22 Plus has stopped working (which I am still sad about) so now I am shopping for a replacement that will last me a good while. I was initially thinking of Cintiq 16 2025 because the pen I heard is really good. Additionally there’s someone selling one for a good price, so that’s one option. Would you guys recommend any other alternatives between £600 to £800?

So, there is still no updated version of the Wacom Art Pen or any pen that supports barrel rotation. On top of that, I just learned that the Wacom Movinkpad 11 doesn't support the old Art Pen. While it wasn't a secret that it wouldn't be supported, I made the mistake of googling if it would be supported, saw "yes" given as an answer by Wacom support, but didn't notice that they were talking about the Movink 13 and not the Moveinkpad devices, and trusted my quick scan corroborated by Google AI without digging deeper, so that's on me.

No backwards compatibility on newer devices is one thing, and maybe I would even believe them that with updated EMR technology it wasn't physically possible for them to build in any kind of backward compatibility. However, when you combine that with how Wacom also dropped support for many of their still completely functional tablets (like my old Intuos Pro) forcing driver updates that just tell you "sorry buy a new one", and not making the software for devices they aren't even selling or supporting anymore open-source so people at home could create their own fixes it really started to kill my support for the company.

It wasn't until today that I learned a new thing about my Movinkpad 11, despite it being released a full OS version behind what is out, they are not going to release any OS updates for it and didn't advertise this at all. You have to contact support and ask, "When is the planned release for Android 15?" THEN they tell you that there is no planned release. it came with discontinued support right out of the box. What a feature!

I think I have supported this company longer than I should have. Maybe I'm just going to sell this Art Pen to one of the artists that are constantly on the lookout for them along with just selling and taking a loss on my 11 and finally do the one thing I said I would never do, and get an iPad. Apple will certainly rip me off too, but at least the pro pencil comes with barrel rotation. Or hell, maybe I will go full Luddite and just go back to oil painting.

I got burned on the Tourbox elite when they said they were going to release android support on it, then said "just kidding!" and made a separate more expensive identical product you had to buy. Clip Studio doesn't sell an indefinite license for their Android software and implemented a scummy subscription model for their supposedly perpetual licenses, and Wacom did all of this. WTF Japan?

Is anyone else sick of this, or am I just grumpy because I learned two negative things about my new toy in a single day? I'm open to being wrong.

Good

It's my first time that I'm posting in this sub. What happened to me, two days ago, is that my Wacom Intuos CTL4100 Small tablet (I think that's the model) when I plug it into my computer it only works for 36 seconds, the light goes out and it sounds like it's disconnected. I don't really know why this happened but it's not cheap for me to buy one now both for the money and for where I live.

Also when it happens that the graphics tablet turns off I disconnect it and reconnect it is as if it was "wintering" since I have to wait more than 1 hour for it to turn on again and the less I wait the less time it stays on.

I use Windows 10 and the latest update of the wacom program to have my tablet recognised. I have had it for about 3 or 5 years but due to the little use I gave it it is "almost new". I didn't drop it, I didn't get crushed with anything, I never pulled the cable too hard and I always have it stored in a safe place.

Is there a way to see what happened to her or how to fix it?

I updated to the newest firmware.

This is frustrating. It should just work with their firmware.
