The redesigned tablet now includes mechanical dials and repositioned ExpressKeys, offering improved tactile feedback and better accessibility for both right- and left-handed users. These controls allow for customizable shortcuts such as zooming, brush size adjustments, and other workflow enhancements. The device supports both USB and Bluetooth connections, with a switch enabling users to toggle between a wired connection and two paired Bluetooth devices.

It also includes the Pro Pen 3, which has been updated with reduced latency for improved responsiveness. The pen remains battery-free and features adjustable grip and button configurations, along with interchangeable nibs and an adjustable weight system, allowing for a more personalized user experience.

The Wacom Intuos Pro remains available in three sizes and continues to support both Windows and macOS. Its slim, lightweight design is intended to accommodate both stationary and mobile work environments. The updated connectivity options and redesigned controls aim to streamline professional creative workflows.

Wacom takes decades of research and production quality from japan and co to china and co.

China and co steal decades of research from wacom in under a year.

China and co now produce equal quality but half the price goods against wacom.

Wacom shrugs and still produces goods at china and co. And doubles down by increasing prices of their own products and decreasing their quality in return.

Shitty pen nibs that melt after a few days of use.
Horrible plastic build quality compared to their previous old products.
Horrible and unusable arm stand forcing most of us to buy one off the shelf.

Wacom now solely relies on its brand name on paper.

What wears off? I did use ONE pen nib for 3 years. Working on tablet, full time job. What did wear off was the surface. had to buy new one and change it, tablet looks like new now. Build quality is excellent, tablets feel and look better than ever before. What are You talking about?

Both new wacom intuos pen nibs as well as wacom cintiq pen nibs wear off in matter of days. Its a fact because over eight people i work with including myself on both products on a regular basis experience this problem which was not present on older pre 2010 wacom products.

You either have tenderest fingers on earth or its a miracle.

And what happens? You can’t use that nib anymore? After it wears off a little bit? I work with way more than 8 people, and nobody changes the nibs :D. I had to show a guy how to do it, nobody did even know how 😀

You should just read the comments on Amazon, there are so many people complaining about this and the reason is, that Wacom shipped their newer tablets with a very rough surface which eats up the nibs extremely fast so you have to buy new ones regularly – with my Intuos 2,3 and 4 I never managed to use up all nibs. And if you want to change the surface it costs an extra 50 bucks or so – instead of supplying the tablets with the smooth surface as default. Its just another area Wacom tried to milk people. And dont get me started on the driver issues – for ten years, over multiple devices and computers I had problems with their damn software. Never had any with Huion or XP Pen.

You do not have to buy new ones. Increase pressure sensitivity in tablet properties. They did put that rough surface to make it feel more like paper. It feels way better than smooth one. They did just go more for feeling. And no, Intuos 4 had the same rough surface. Source, i still have it stored somewhere on the shelf. It was the first one with that surface. The last one with smooth surface was intuos 3, released in 2004….I do agree that it is not cheap, but it do feel good to work on that rough surface.

BTW, it was the same with nibs pre 2010. Wacom intuos 4 was the first one with new ‘paper like’ surface, wearing the nibs faster . The one with mini lcd screens. It was in 2009…16 years ago.

oh Guest (the traditional)… always he is that lovely “annoying aunt” who never misses a chance to whine or complain about literally anything at family lunches… You can see this delightful trait in the hundreds of comments they’ve posted. 😏

Oh Favio, always lovely to see conformity and blind obedience.

You are the only guest in this house on the hill who is so willing to play the game of the murderous host and walk blindly into the dump of acid in the basement.

Im the aunt who was invited as a sideshow and ends up gathering all the guests and distract them from the evil host.

Last time we played ouija board game together and we reached out to the long dead kinetix and old wacom leadership, the chair moved and the candle flickered and there was a revelation! From beyond the grave their souls were still being haunted by Autodesk and Wacom and are unable to find peace, this is why the karma of our industry is fked.

We must work together and journey to the underworld to save them Favio! You must come with me. Please ask your mother for permission i don’t want her to worry too much.

It happened to me too, not all the nibs in the series, but the first 3 of them died in about 3 weeks. The 4th, as for it, is about to reach one year, proving how I play gently. Nothing to do with the surface, just inconsistant plastic quality. I know it’s hard to believe until it happens to you.
