Wacom Creative Pen Tablet Medium, Black, Medium

As a graphic designer and illustrator, I rely heavily on my tools, and the One by Wacom Medium drawing tablet has become an integral part of my daily workflow. I use it every day, and it's simply incredible. This tablet is a perfect blend of simplicity and reliability from a brand you can trust, without having to spend a fortune. Setting up the tablet was a breeze. Straight out of the box, it’s very easy to use and incredibly responsive. The pen, a classic Wacom stylus, doesn’t require charging, unlike some other brands' pens, which is super helpful. I spent a bit of time adjusting the pressure sensitivity to suit my drawing style, and once I found the ideal settings, it worked flawlessly in both Photoshop and Illustrator. One of the standout features of this model is the large drawing area. It’s just the right size, making it feel like sketching on a sheet of A4 paper. This was a seamless transition for me as I often pencil sketch my drawings before scanning them into my PC. Despite the generous drawing space, the tablet is small and portable enough to pack away easily, which is a huge plus for someone always on the go. The tablet is accurate and the pen pressure sensitivity is spot on, making my digital illustrations smooth and precise. While it may not be as advanced as some of the pricier models, it does exactly what it needs to do—and it does it well. This tablet offers outstanding value for money. If you are new to drawing tablets or looking for a straightforward, effective tool, this is the one to get. I use this tablet on both Mac and Windows and have never encountered any issues with drivers or settings. The Wacom software was easy to download and worked perfectly on the first try. It’s reliable and has been worth every penny. However, I did have a minor issue with the packaging. I ordered two units, and both arrived with their transparent security stickers cut, which was a bit unsettling. Although everything inside was accounted for and nothing seemed damaged, it did make me question if these were returns being shipped as new. Eventually, I received sealed units, so it might have been a one-off incident, but it’s something to keep in mind when ordering. Overall, the One by Wacom Medium is an excellent piece of kit and a welcome addition to my studio. It offers exceptional value, is easy to use, and delivers professional-quality results. I highly recommend this tablet to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality drawing tablet.

Brought as a gift, recipient was very happy with it. It does exactly as expected and is being used for school work/gaming. Appears to be excellent quality and works well. Good value for money.

I didn't want to spend too much to get some light PDF annotation done on my laptop. I was looking through my options when I found this little powerhouse. Built out of solid matte plastic, I don't think any drops can harm it. The pen included is battery free, meaning seamless connection and no time wasted charging batteries. The pen glides well across the surface, whilst the slight matte texture means you can still write neatly. Pretty premium aesthetic, definitely good for office use for signing digitally. Tracks well even when I lift up the pen a good distance, so I can always see the cursor onscreen showing where my pen is. I regret not buying the bigger version, but no doubt this is so much more than I needed to begin with.

I have wanted to get into digital art for a long time and this has been amazing! Take's a while to get used to drawing on a pad and looking at a screen but it's been so fun! Once you install the drivers and the Wacom Center, I had the pleasure of having multiple keys for free 30 day trials for drawing programs. These included; Concepts, Magma and Clip Studio Paint. I have stuck with CSP as it seems to be a a good standard with plenty of videos online to teach you. The pen is comfortable to use, the surface feels nice to draw on and I'm glad I got the medium pad as I think the next size down would have been too small for me, I have had no problems with it after using it for about two weeks! I havnt found any lag on the tablet what so ever, only when I toggle high stabilization in CSP but that's normal for it to lag behind. The tablet is very thin but feels sturdy too!

The hardware is excellent: I can write and draw on it almost as well as I can on paper as the precision is superb, but it has the huge advantage of being able to delete each line and repeat it as many times as necessary until it's just right, so it's much more efficient. I actually wanted a device with a screen, and I'd still like to have that as a stand-alone device, but when working with the computer it isn't necessary as you can see where the pen tip is while it's in the air over the tablet, though it's a little harder to be sure which direction you need to move it in for each line to take it exactly where you need it to go because of alignment issues, though this can be fixed by rotating the tablet a little and redoing the lines that went wrong. That's where my biggest issue is with the product though, becuase when I'm sitting back with the computer (a laptop) just out of comfortable reach, I want to be able to have an undo function tied to a button on the pen instead of having to use ctrl-z on the keyboard. You can set the pen up to give you that, but it doesn't work properly due to a badly designed driver. If I set the higher button to it, it still insists on triggering the original function as well (a colour selection wheel when using Krita) which I don't want [edit: it doesn't do that if you move the pen off the drawing area, so that's a practical workaround, though it's irritating having to do that for every undo], while if I set it to the lower button, which is where I'd prefer it to be, the drawing area moves around the screen in an irritating way whenever it's pressed. It's bonkers. Maybe that doesn't happen with other apps, but it shouldn't be doing that at all. Please fix the driver, because that undo function would multiply the efficiency of using the device. Edit:- The nib was wearing away surprisingly fast, and it was clearly also eroding the tablet surface a little as it was leaving visible lines on it when pressed hard, so I did an experiment. I put a blob of UV resin glue on the end of the nib which had two effects: (1) it made the contacting part inordinately more robust, and (2) it widened the point of contact, making it still less prone to wear. Next, I cut a rectangle of card from a breakfast cereal packet (after testing the pen on various surfaces - this one felt smoother on the glossy side than paper or the non-glossy side of the card), then I put that over the tablet to protect it from the pen. The result is a much improved feel to the drawing, no damage to the tablet, and the elimination of the need to buy lots of replacement nibs. The UV resin blob shows no sign of wear at all after using it for longer than I originally used the nib without it, and it all works fine with the card showing little wear due to the roundness of the resin blob, but when it does wear out it'll be no problem replacing it. A plastic sheet is even smoother, so that might be better, and I might also try making a rectangle of non-UV resin to put on the tablet, but I'll certainly never go back to using the nibs as they come or to doing anything that erodes the tablet surface as there's no advantage whatsoever in doing either of those things.

As a new-comer to Blender, I decided not to buy a graphics tablet until I was sure I was going to need one. I was happy to use just my laptop, the keyboard and my finger on the touchpad. I was able to 'sculpt' to a fairly high standard, just taking that extra amount of time and effort to do it. But then, as I got the hang of Blender, I thought about buying an 'all-singing, all-dancing' graphics tablet. I watched many videos covering the cheapest and simplest to the most expensive, and very nearly ordered one costing around 600 GBP. But then I worried about the possibility of faults, damage, etc and more importantly that these higher end graphics tablets require one to use both the graphics tablet with one hand, and a keyboard or supplemental 'mini-keyboard thingy' with the other, and obviously to sit at a desk and try to perform acrobatics reaching and using everything effectively, ultimately doing one's back and neck in. So, I thought, 'go for a cheap one first' and see how I get on. Well, after plumping for the 'Wacom One' I was confused when I received a 'One by Wacom' which in all of the videos is shown as being a different tablet to the 'Wacom One'. To add to the confusion the Wacom One is described as 'Red' and the 'One by Wacom' 'Black', but they are both Black on the 'face' and Red at the back and both come in the identical red box. The serial number of the Wacom One is different from the One by Wacom but it is given an extra 'N' in the description and online but not on the item itself. Anyway, it turns out I was sent the correct one, and boy, it made the job of sculpting a piece of cake! It was a simple task to go online and set the tablet up, with just a few clicks. I kept it so simple as to not even bother setting up the buttons on the pen other than 'select' ; forget about pressure, opting for delete, or 'back' etc, just use it as one would a plain pen. The sculpt. I had no issues whatsoever, looking at my laptop screen and NOT looking at my tablet and pen. I just looked at the cursor on my laptop and hand/eye coordination did the rest. It was so easy I actually began sculpting whilst laying on a couch, with the index finger of my left hand poised over the laptop shift button. By day two I and easily, and extremely cheaply, sculpted a fantastically detailed zombie rotting head/face and body Who needs a 500 GBP graphics tablet? Not me.

I bought this around 2 and a half years ago as I just wanted a simple and reliable tablet. I'm a graphic designer and illustrator and use this regularly in my work. After having various issues with other brands I wanted a simple tablet without all the bells and whistles - personally I find keyboard shortcuts easier to use so never end up using hotkeys on tablets etc. This model allowed me to maximize the drawing area while still keeping the tablet small and portable - it slides straight into my bag and I pretty much never notice it. To me this model is like a modern version of the bamboo line from the 2000s-2010s - its simple and just gets the job done. The pen is a classic Wacom pen and doesn't require charging like some other brands' pens which is super helpful. The tablet is accurate and responsive and pen pressure sensitivity works flawlessly in every software I've tried - including photoshop, illustrator, and blender. I use this tablet on both Mac and Windows and have never had any issues with the drivers or any other settings - just downloaded the Wacom software and it worked perfectly first try without any issues. Overall I'd recommend this tablet if you want a simple workhorse tablet without all the bells and whistles, with a low price and great portability to boot.

I bought this item, and it was delivered quickly. It was a return so I was a bit wary, but once plugged in it worked just fine. The main problem was that it was a return and I couldn't register it for guarantee purposes. Good quality item so hopefully won't be a problem. Easy to use and responsive to the pen provided.
