Отзывы о Дигитайзер Wacom CTL-472-N

These pros and cons are coming from someone who only uses this tablet for playing Osu:

Pros:
-Simple, quick, and easy to setup
-Noticeably better than cheaper tablets, like the XP-pen Star G640 (less jittery cursor movement, less weird glitches)
-Can set exact tablet area from the software
-Pen is lightweight, battery-less
-The quality of the tablet durable
-When I switched from cheaper tablets to this one, I actually improved a little and had better accuracy and control in game
-Worth the money, as this is still a relatively cheap tablet

Cons:
-The micro USB cable is a little short, it couldn't reach my PC (luckily my keyboard has a USB port)
-The USB port on the tablet is on the left side, making it hard to put the tablet close/next to my keyboard because of the cable
-The buttons on my pen rattle slightly when I shake the pen (this isn't really a problem, just a nit pick)

Wacom is a trusted well known and trusted brand in the art industry. They make some pretty high end tablets and some low end ones to, this would be one of the low end ones. No software, no buttons except on the pen / stylist, which can be a plus side if you look at it, it gives you more work space... That being said it does have less pressure then the other models, but I doubt you'll notice much of a difference if you are just starting out, but if you are a artist and or like to draw already, then i would save your money and get another tablet.. Wacom might be a great company but there are a few others behind them still holding strong and cheaper.

If your looking for a tablet and money is not a concern, but u just want to start out, then this is great choice for beginners to entry level, even your basic photo editing nephew would love this for the holidays, lol.. (im sure they might shave 10 to 15$ off come the holidays for this? then it be worth it, and a great gift)

*Edit* After 3 hours of testing it, it has stopped working on me and disconnected on me at least 4 to 6 times. Software or hardware? no idea, ive done a fresh install on software, and still had an issue, not happy. did a re install of the drivers /fresh, and fresh restart as well, 3rd time round seemed to happen less, no idea why, but still happening to me, maybe just a lemon tablet for me.

(that being said there are some bad products out there if your really interested in this tablet do it, only if its on sale tho, 50+ is just to much, but its also a great gift idea for your friends/family members that loves art, or photo editing.)
Plus side of things

+ working surface is big for its size
+ light weight
+ Great tablet for Beginners
+good tablet for photo editing
Cons
- *edit* disconnecting issue (might be just mine /lemon)
- Price $50+ is still to much for this
- no bluetooth
- cord is short
- only 2048 levels of pressure
-+ No buttons / shortcut keys

I have done my research and I know Wacom is THE brand to get for drawing tablets, so I was happy to find this model at a great price. I have been using it for a couple of weeks and I will say that it is very sturdy and the quality is very nice! (does not feel cheap at all) . I would say this graphic tablet would work great for kids or if you're looking for a starting tablet THIS is what you want. The set up was SUPER easy and I have been using the tablet for graphics and drawing. (I don't even use a mouse any longer) My daughter is a budding artist so I am going to give her one as well to begin using!

I used to use my mouse on paint but no moooore.
This drawing tablet is nice and simple. I haven't fully understood the customizations just yet but I'll get there. The instructions were really simple like a piece of paper, probably should've gotten the one that came with software but I was set on the getting a "beginner one" for my sake.
Comes with extra writing nubs and the ring to pluck em. Will eventually need a screen protector or case if I plan to travel with it.
The customizations are very detailed and the driver download is only a few minutes.
Already making doodles. UwU
Screen is pressure sensitive and the fit to screen adjustments are the besssst. Just gotta remmeber to keep it straight when I draw since its fit to screen since I write from the side :6

I understand a $50 tablet is certainly well below professional level, but this thing is not well put together. Tablet itself is fine, not much you can do to make a sheet of plastic better or worse. It does have a little more friction than I expected, and most definitely does not feel like a pen or pencil on paper.

The stylus is very cheap plastic with a couple cheap buttons. My stylus arrived malfunctioning, and I never did get it to work 100%. It would draw before it made contact with the tablet and moved the cursor or pen when it hovered above the tablet. This seems to be something of a thing because there was a decent amount of chatter on the help blog. None of the trouble shooting steps worked for me.

What makes me not want to repurchase or purchase a nicer tablet is the total lack of a method to contact customer service. Something tells me mailing out a new $2 stylus would have fixed my problem, but I couldn't find a chat button or email address to contact Wacom. For $50 OK - I'll take no service, but no way am I going to fork over a couple hundred to a black hole.

The product is OK, and for the money worth a shot. I'm sending mine back, and if yours is anything like mine then you can too.

Yes it's small, but don't underestimate it! It's compact and easy to travel with, plugs into any USB port, and has a nice little sleeve on the side to hold the pen. Very easy to set up and start using and is very cost efficient if you are low on funds or buying to get your feet wet in the Wacom world. I have used their biggest and best products and now I own this little guy and I love them all.

As an artist, I've never used any type of technology for my mediums. I loved how easy it was to use. I didn't want to go too expensive on my first investment, but at this price point and form factor, I don't think i need anything else. Its been great!

This is definitely a beginner's tablet. The resolution and controls are adequate for my needs, but a more advanced artist would definitely find it lacking. Pressure-sensitivity is decent. The stylus feels a little cheap, especially the button feel, but not so much that it feels like it's going to fall apart on me. The tab on the side that holds the stylus when not in use fits the included stylus only if you stick it in from the top end of the stylus; if you try to stick it in point-first, the buttons will get in the way.

It connects fine to USB-C via a standard A-to-C adapter. It does not connect consistently through a corded hub; I have a dock-style hub on order for my MacBook Pro, and when that arrives I'll test how well it connects through that.

You can switch functionality between absolute and relative positioning (like drawing directly to a screen vs. using a trackpad), but you can't change the orientation in either mode. This is a minor frustration because it works only with the cord entering the tablet from the left side, but the way my system is physically arranged it would work better for me with the cord entering on the right side.

When you go to Wacom's site to download the driver, be very careful that you pick the correct model. THIS IS IMPORTANT. Wacom has two completely different tablets that are both called "One": the Wacom One and the One by Wacom. THIS TABLET IS THE "ONE BY WACOM", not the Wacom One, and will not work with the Wacom One's driver. Wacom's site will not tell you directly that there are two different "One" tablets—this one is an entry-level model, and the Wacom One is a super-high end model, so unless you view all models at once, you're not likely to see both on screen at the same time.

Aside from the driver confusion, this is a pretty good beginner tablet. I'm quite happy with it for the price I paid for it. If you're looking to try out tablet drawing, this is overall a good choice for a decent inexpensive test run. More advanced artists should probably look a bit higher on the chain.

The best thing I have bought to advance my photo editing and digital paintings (Photo example). It is so easy to use and intuitive. There are some good YouTube videos on how to set it up for your needs too. Love it. I am a Mac user.

Its usable for a portable tablet solution. Its cheap enough to buy for your laptop bag. It's a no frills wacom tablet.

I bought this so I could write on my screen while teaching sixth grade math remotely. I can easily use this along with some Chrome extensions (paint tool and page marker) to write directly on any webpage while recording myself or while I'm live in a virtual meeting. When I have to write on a word document, I can upload it to Kami and write directly on it using their drawing software. It works great and has been an absolute lifesaver for remote teaching, especially for showing students how to do a math problem directly on the screen!

I haven't used a mouse on my own computers for over 30 years now, I have been using some sort of digitizer pen pad all these years. I've also been using touch screen and pen operated PC tablets on a regular basis since 1998. Yes, they have existed that long. Pen tablets have a lot on common with digitizer pads, and with thirty years experience, I would never spend my money on any digitizer pad or pen operated device that was not made by Wacom. Wacom is the absolute master of this technology, nobody else provides the precision and dependability of Wacom products. I don't work for them, I have never received any compensation for this opinion - it's simply that I have been able to depend on their products when several others have failed to live up to the same standard. Anyway - I've got one of the big Intuos pads on my main machine. I bought the Wacom One for one of my secondary machines and it works great. Even the lower price Wacom products are very precise and provide good pressure sensitivity and functionality. You cannot go wrong with Wacom. You can use these products for many years unlike some other brands. I'm happy to pay a little bit more for something that works twice as well and last twice as long - I call that a "bargain."

It works on Ubuntu 18.04 after downloading and compiling an the driver.
The tablet is large and comfortable, it arrived faster than expected.
When plugged out of the box my linux laptop didn't recognize it (the mouse pointer didn't move).
The reason is that this is not a regular "watcom one" which is supported by the default driver included in Ubuntu, the marketing name printed on the box is "One by Watson" but technically speaking this is a "Wacom One Creative Pen Display" and supported is not yet included in the default Ubuntu release. The good news is that there is a well-written wiki at linuxwacom.github.io with super clear instructions on how to download, build and install the driver that actually works without any nasty surprises!

This is my fourth tablet and I am already loving it. My first tablet was the Wacom Intuos 3 which I loved. I had this for years and I kept going back to it. Sadly after years of use, all the duct tape couldn't keep it going when the electrical work started giving out on the USB cable.

I know Wacom stuff works great on linux, and this model does not disappoint. I just plugged it into my Ubuntu 20.04 and it just started working perfect with my application of choice Krita. No drivers or extra drivers needed.

If someone is reading this and they ever decide to "upgrade" to one of those fancy pen displays later, don't throw or give this one away. You know the tablets I am talking about. The ones where you can draw right on the screen. I had one for a short while and it didn't work out, so I went back to graphics tablets like this. For me, there are a few reasons that you might not like these "pro" level tablet displays that cost more money:

1. The screen gets warm and your hands start sweating on it. And when your hands sweat, your pen nib stops registering on the screen as it slips around on your sweat. It is annoying having to wipe down your screen every hour or two because it is full of sweat. It is kind of gross too.

2. Bad posture. You have to look down and hunch over to use it to see the screen below. That might be ok for a bit, but having a crooked neck and back for hours on end really gets old and painful. There is a bit of a remedy for this with adjustable monitor stands so you can reposition it, but I didn't want to bother with more accessories.

3. Extremely unportable. Display monitors are large and have a lot of cables. With something like this graphics tablet, it is easy to throw in your backback and take it to a game jam, or do some drawing at a coffee shop.

4. Your arm is in front of your artwork. If you are right handed, that means your right hand and forearm are going to be blocking half of your artwork all the time. While this might not seem like that big of a deal, it is a bit nicer to see the right side of your art as well as the left side.

A lot of people like them, though, so treat this as just one person's opinion.

I'm using a slightly older version of Adobe Photoshop (CS6) for Mac OS 10.12.6 and the tablet doesn't work optimally. I assigned the two buttons on the pen to B (for the brush tool) and E (for the eraser), and can switch between the two UNTIL I start drawing or erasing. Once I put the pen tip to the tablet, I get "stuck" in drawing/erasing mode, and neither buttons OR keyboard shortcuts will work, until I click away. This isn't a deal breaker, but it is incredibly annoying and interrupts my workflow. Sometimes the pen/tablet will also have to "think" after brush strokes, but this issue seems to resolve itself upon extended use. After an hour or so, it stops brining up the little 'thinking' wheel after every stroke, so it might just be a sync issue.

So i had gotten this today and opened the box everything was there. Easy to setup,as a traditional artist i was very nervious to use it but getting the feel of it felt quick. after about 4 hours with the tablet i can say theres a slight learning curve. But as this is a beginners art tablet its worth the price and not too much risk. my plan was to use it for coloring my art digitaly from traditional pencil and paper and i will be using this to learn more without wasting as much paper as i have in the past. overall great product. if things change i will rereview.

it's bigger than I had expected which is a good thing.

there must be a learning curve to use it freely and I'm still on the way. but definitely much better than without.

for my purpose to share thought with peers, I found it's easier to use some real time sharing site --- add another myself to the share group and then draw on my ipad pro. this proves working much better for my purpose. but I'll keep it since nothing wrong with it.

I am an online teacher and I use this to draw on slides. I love it and it's so easy to set up and use.

I bought this to replace a 6 year old Wacom tablet that was starting to look really scratched up. I edit a lot of photos. I'm probably on Photoshop 10+ hours per week. This makes the editing process so much quicker and less painful on the wrist compared to using a mouse. I do wish there were some programmable shortcut buttons like in older versions of this tablet, but that's only a minor gripe. The pen nibs definitely wear down fast, though. I've only had this tablet for 5 months and I'm already almost through my 3rd nib. Wish they included more.

The USB connector on this is on the side opposite the pen holder. This is especially unpleasant if you use it right next to your keyboard, which you will need to for shortcut keys. I had to flip the tablet orientation in the settings so I could use it on the other side, and I'd much prefer that it were on top like every other tablet.

Other than that, it's Wacom. They have a stranglehold on the good pen tablet tech patents.

this is very beginner friendly. It comes with the drawing pen and USB cable. USB cable could be a bit longer so I would not recommend trying to run it underneath the desk or something. It doesn't have any other features or buttons but it is a great beginner tell mit doesn't have any other features or buttons but it is a great beginner pad that works.

Love it, other than the pen feels very thin, which makes it hard to use. A thicker pen would be amazing.

At first I though I can just plug&play, but it was recognized a s a "mouse" and was extremely inaccurate. Then I went to their website and installed full driver. Now it is recognized correctly, and became much more accurate.
I can use it as a "black board" for remote meetings. However, I was unable to use it for drawing, as it is still not accurate enough.

A quick comparison to an old Wacom BambooFun tablet:
1. Definitely feels cheaper
2. The stylus is super thin and light which does not provide a good grip and just does not feel great
3. The driver is not properly developed (more below)

I used an older tablet for as long as I could since it had a nicer stylus and overall better performance. When I got this new tablet, I was forced to uninstall the old driver in order to install a new one.
The problem with the new driver is that when you open a resource intense application, the macOS stops rendering your stylus movements and they are getting stacked in a buffer. Naturally you start moving the stylus around to mitigate the problem and more movements get added to the buffer. Once the macOS frees up the memory, all of your movements get pushed from the buffer and now your cursor starts jumping and dancing as if some mad person took over your mouse. In reality it's your previous movements getting finally rendered on the screen. So now, again, what you do currently is blocked until you sit through all that madness. Hopefully someone from Wacom will read this review and fix the driver since it was never an issue with the old one.
