Отзывы о Графический планшет WACOM Intuos M Bluetooth CTL-6100WL

I've been getting a sore wrist while using a computer - even with an ergonomic mouse. I switched to this little wacom table and it's been phenomenal. There's a bit of a learning curve to train yourself that the shape of the tablet is mapped to your computer screen, but it's just as fast as a mouse once you're past the learning curve (give it a few days). It also works great with Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop - drawing with a "pen" is much more natural and intuitive than using a traditional mouse.

Purchased medium unit. Had read great things about table, but a number of cautionary tales about getting support, especially obtaining "free" software. Three months in to trying to register device and get software, I can only say reports are no where near a representation of the problems this company has with providing a smooth delivery process. My log in is stuck in an endless loop. Somehow, I managed to get the Wacom Desktop App to load, but it just sends me back to the log in problem. You Tube video on loading software is out of date. Apparently the worldwide call lines are always backed up. So, the product may be great, but expect to be burned and frustrated on the $100 or so of "free" software. Last effort this PM, I thought I had found the key, but was booted back into the log-n loop. I have to admit I just e-mailed CS, pushing the problem on to them, but I expect to be blown off in the long run with some geek second guessing my stupidity. IF I GET THAT LUCKY. BUT, final point, there is no way that any company of any stature should be causing this many problems for it's customers through sheer hubris.

So far this thing is a dud because the Wacom web site crashes every time we try to register the product to get the accompanying software. Makes you wonder...if the web site is the key to using the product, and the web site doesn't work, how good could this product really be. Getting ready to send it back if we can't talk to an actual human being soon.

In short, this is a fantastic little tablet for any beginner, or any artist who wants a really portable way to draw digitally. It works extremely well, except in one way:

Bluetooth connectivity. No matter how many different devices I connect this thing to, and no matter where I use it, the amount of lag when drawing in Bluetooth mode makes this thing completely unusable. I resorted to only drawing using the included USB cable for the time that I had it.

My recommendation: Save your money and buy the cheaper non-Bluetooth version, or, don't rely on Bluetooth for any precise work.

As of right now I would rate this product a 1. Unable to get customer support because they are never there when I am home. This was a Christmas gift for a teen and so far we are unable to complete the set up and get the software. So disappointed. Never had this much trouble with any electronic device. As of right now I would NOT recommend this product to anyone. Cannot tell you if it works great or not due to can't even get it to work

Wacom tablets are the best, I've been using them for 20+ years and only need to upgrade for new software. I bought the non-wireless version on a tight budget, and I'm very pleased with the quality, the extra nibs, and the sturdy micro-usb cord. My Windows 10 laptop recognized the tablet immediately and opened Wacom's installer. Everything went fine until it asked me to register the product. Then, it could NOT connect to Wacom's servers. I tried manually registering the product but since it features auto-registration, no can do. Apparently their servers get full and stay full quite often, so it may take a few days or even a week to register your tablet. Persistence paid off and finally it was registered, BUT - the same problem occurred when I tried to download the 3 graphics apps that came free with my tablet. Persistence, persistence, persistence! Overall, took me a week to get everything installed, registered and licensed. I was not able to contact Wacom support in any way, though I tried everything they offer.

This Wacom Intuos tablet is a wonderful product with a horrible start-up experience. After that, it's a breeze and my design production is already off the hook. Later problems requiring tech support might be a nightmare, from what I've ready, but it's worth it to me to pay so little for the best tablet and pen brand on the market.

(Separately I purchased a retractable stylus leash so I won't lose the pen, check to see if any Wacom tablet features 2 tiny holes in the upper-right corner for attaching the cord. There are also self-stick leashes available. Easiest way to never lose the pen and still store it in the same space!)

Bought this for my 8 year old aspiring artist for Christmas (2018). To date, however, have been unable to use it despite numerous (frustrating) attempts. The “free” software is nearly impossible to download and use (even if you are an expert in downloading & using software). My wife & i tried on numerous occasions to contact customer service for support, however, their hours conflict with our working schedules &, therefore, that avenue of redress has also proven useless. My wife or i are forced to take a day off from work, sit home& hopefully be able to get the support we need to be able to work this thing. Unfortunately for us, by the time we do, the model we got will be (if it’s not already) obsolete & useless. Plain & simple, this sucks!!

I used to have the Wacom Intuos Manga small tablet and my only issue with it was that after almost two years of use, the cable began coming apart around the tablet's end. This is why I switched to the wireless one and have had no complaints since. My one issue is that I had to buy a case for it since none comes with it. It's also annoying to carry without a case since just one tap to the power button turns it on and could waste its battery if it's there for hours trying to connect or unknowingly connected to your computer. Even with the case, I get this issue sometimes, but I just have to be slightly more careful with it.
I really love the fact that this device also comes with two softwares. I downloaded Corel Painter Essentials 6 and Clip Studio Paint. Both are fantastic softwares and certainly add to the experience. The device itself is sleek, slim, and light. I couldn't be happier, especially for the price.

Updated- AFter spending another hour or so with them on support we got it registered- it looks like it tried to register under my email instead of my daughters during on of the numerous attempts to get to the site on Christmas when the web issues were most prevalent. The support engineer was able to de-register the product and manually registered it to the correct email and I was able to download all three software packages. I can't really recommend this product until Wacom sorts their web site issues as they resulted in nothing but pain. For a company that's been around as long as they have, with hardware that seems to be top notch, this really is inexcusable.

Original thoughts-
I purchased this for my daughter as a Christmas present since she loves drawing and wanted to start being able to do more on her laptop. Reviews I read were promising for a sub $100 device and I hadn't seen any current complaints about their support or setup issues. However, they must be running their back end platform on some old PC-Jr equipment because it took well over 3 hours to simply download the drivers due to consistent website errors, timeouts and generally terrible performance. Once the driver software was installed it appears to be 100% impossible to register this product to download the actual "included" art software as you need to register first. I've tried this for multiple machines now and Houston we have a problem. The driver software includes the Wacom Desktop app which allows you change settings and has the link to download the software, but there does not appear to be any way to register the device from the app. If you try to redeem the software you are sent to page that will eventually, after numerous attempts, will bring you to a page letting you know that you must first register from the desktop app, or manually. As noted, the desktop app doesn't seem to be able to register, however if you attempt to register manually and put in the model number it kindly lets you know that you must register from the app, so that's perfect. It has taken over an hour of battling their garbage site to locate a number to call for support (1-855-699-2266 for those in a similar situation) directly, we'll see how long I'm hold - I do have the option to leave a call back number, but I trust that about as much as I'd my cat to operate heavy machinery).

Do a quick internet search and you'll find that almost all Wacom devices have some really bad driver issues. When you first try to use this device with Photoshop you'll find that it'll frequently miss strokes that you make or they might have some strange lag making it not only hard to draw and totally impossible to write. I say "write" because if you plan on using this device with note taking applications like One Note or some other piece of garbage Microsoft churned out, the UI for something like that will most likely be designed for a touch screen device, and because the Intuos can't sense fingers, your left with an impossible method for scrolling around your document. Additionally, there are no keyboard shortcuts in programs like that so switching between drawing tools is also clunky and difficult when using this device.
So we're stuck with Photoshop because at least you can pan around with the space bar and switch between tools with the keyboard. If you surf around on the internet for tips on how to get this thing to work better, you'll find that there's a strange and seemingly arbitrary work around where you write a text file and put it into the Photoshop program folders, then disable "Microsoft Ink" (whatever that is) and your tablet *should* work just fine. Ah, but wait, now whenever I turn the Intuos on *after* Photoshop is up and running it's a 50/50 chance that the driver will crash and you'll have to go restart it which will also make Photoshop freak out so I gotta restart Photoshop too. Save and organize all your work now so you can find it again when Photoshop is done loading up. This happens more often than you think because remember it's Bluetooth; if you leave the pen sitting for a second too long it times out, or you had it plugged into the USB and now you need that USB to charge something else, or you need to charge it so you plug it into the USB.
I'm sure there are fixes for these issues as well because PC users are good at figuring out what's wrong with their machines and they're great about posting those fixes on the internet, but why on earth would you subject yourself to needing to do all the work when Wacom should make better firmware for their products.
My experience using this device for several months now has been frustrating and overall very unpleasant. Don't bother with this thing. Save up a little more and get a refurbished iPad or a Surface.

I bought this tablet to draw mostly and the device does well. It's light, the pen works well and I could use the gear on all but 2 of my graphics programs. There is one little thing. You have to pay $9.99 to get the driver and put on a program that makes your computer run smoother that really isn't needed. Getting the driver to install took 90 minutes and it did work fine I just wasn't expecting to pay for the driver too. This brought the cost to about $65.00. I bought another one at the same time I was planning to give it to a friend but this one was twice the size and just to test it on my computer I tried to get it working. I had to remove the driver from the WACOM tablet but the second one took only 15-20 minutes to load from downloading the driver from the website of the company and working properly. One added bound was it worked with all but one graphics program. I wish I could tell you what it is but I'm not sure if that's allowed by AMAZON. I can tell you it was a different company. So unless you want to get stuck with a $9.99 bill to get the driver which I think should come for free since you bought the device outright don't buy this tablet.

Took a chance on a used one, it works really well. The software can only be accessed via download - there are no disks. You'll have to register your product and keep your license keys. This is the only nightmarish process because you have to keep registering for all these separate softwares. The pad itself is responsive and easy enough to control. As a newbie to drawing on computer, it took some time to learn but overall with some practice you'll learn to use it well. YouTube tutorials are highly recommended if you're a newbie like myself.

Product died within 3 months. Horrible quality. Had to keep updating. Didnt work well at all.

I bought this as a first timer tablet... my art style has always been expressed as hand art, mostly comic style... seeking a way to bring that on the computer, I bought this...
Idk why people are acting like its a difficult setup, maybe they troubleshot the issues people were experiencing, but basically, plug it in and install the tablet software from the download link printed in the tiny(really tiny) set up guide it comes with... restart computer... use the wacom desktop feature to log in(which will direct you to their website to set up a login) once your email is confirmed, you receive a follow up email with the extra programs info: names/serial keys(just in case you need them😉) then on the wacom desktop or on the website you just set a login to, follow the link for available software and redeem/download the programs! So easy!! Run program set ups from the download file and TA DUH!! You just got a free tablet plus saved a few bucks on the side for what you would pay for all the programs collectively here on amazon separate!!
$60- Corel Paint Studio Pro
$35- Corel AfterShot 3
$50- Corel Paint Essentials 7
+ A tablet and pen to work with!!
..........
So far functionally, It was a trip how you dont have to touch the pad for it to register the pen hovering to move your mouse cursor... fun and interesting experience! Im using it instead of my mouse right now trying to get used to it.... if you're looking for a decent little tablet thats affordable, CHOOSE THIS ONE!!

I love this tablet. It takes some getting used to, but after you can get used to it, it's super accurate down to pressure and positioning. It's super fun to draw with this. However, the free software that comes with it is not that awesome. I gave it 4 stars because I don't really think it's worth the whole 80 dollars to include the software. But I still bought it and I don't regret the quality of the tablet itself

I am absolutely in love with the wireless feature on this. it makes it so much easier to draw while away from a desk. The battery so far has had a pretty great long life. The drawing quality is in line with the old wacom bamboo I had, but its more compact, lighter, sturdier, and overall easier to use.

The only reasons I didn't give 5 stars:
The surface seems a lot rougher than my old one, so the nib has worn down pretty quick in comparison, it comes with 3 extra but eventually i'll need to buy more.
When i click away from the drawing program and come back to it i cant make any marks on the canvas until i lift the pen away and put it down again. not a huge problem but a little weird.

I got this for my child so they could do math homework assignments during COVID lockdown.
They are taking trigonometry and have to "draw" lines on graph images. This proved to be very difficult with the touch pad on the chromebook and no better using a mouse.

I bought this pad and plugged it in. No configuration was required. The pad can be used as a mouse and can also be used to draw lines on the digital graphs more easily.

The chromebook issued to my child is an HP Chromebook 11 G8 E

Your experience may vary by the type of chromebook you have.
I can only comment about the one I have to work with.

Well.. The pad works well. I had no issues setting it up. It would be better if the buttons synced up easier and the button placement on the pen could be better. I keep accidentally hitting the button while drawing. There is also a confidence that comes with using this pad that immediately evaporated when I started the stick figures. However, for the price, it's a good tablet. Also, be wary of the software limits. They are all the simplest/cheapest versions of the software and some of them are extremely limited. I thought I would be able to get an animation software but the only one with animating capabilities was a limited trial of the simplest version. The pad itself is fine. Software is kind of a bummer.

Product is not shipped with software or drivers. One has to download from the Wacom website. Problem is, their website is down as I write this, and apparently has been unavailable for over two days according to isitdownrightnow.com (lots of frustration voiced in the comments there!). Tracked down a Tweet from Wacom with a link to download the driver and now I'm good to go. You should try to see if you can get to wacom.com before ordering to be on the safe side if you require the software that is supposedly included with this purchase. Otherwise you can find the driver link on their official Twitter feed.

I'm relatively new to digital art, and I can say there definitely is a learning curve to using graphics tablets to draw, and I'm still a bit clumsier with it than I am with real pencil and paper. However, as just a mouse input for general computer use, using this pen tablet has been fairly intuitive. I tested it with both a 15.6-inch screen, and with a dual monitor setup consisting of a 15.6-inch screen and a 21-inch screen side-by-side. I installed the drivers straight from the website and then restarted the system in both instances and had no issues or need for troubleshooting.

The small size hasn't given me any issue, but I'm already used to keeping my mouse sensitivity very high, and I prefer to draw with small wrist movements rather than sweeping arm movements. At this size, the tablet is great for travel. The small size is not for everyone, though. Keep in mind that the actual active drawing space is the space where there are dots, and that space does not extend out to the edge of the tablet.

Time will tell if I personally prefer the tablet over fighting vector lines with my mouse to keep my art clean and precise, but as a review on this piece of hardware itself and its functionality, the Intuos S works as intended.

I am really getting tired of reviewers who say ignorant things about great products. Ask yourself, why would Wacom, who has been making great and highly reviewed tablets suddenly start making ones that won't work with Windows 10? All you need to do is install your Wacom tablet, this or any of them and after it goes through its install, go immediately to the Wacom site. Find the newest driver on the site for Windows 10 and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ACCURATELY AND THEN....reboot and presto, your Wacom tablet (this one too) is installed and works perfectly on Windows 10. It works as a mouse for anything and as a pen for graphics programs. It will work with GIMP without modifying anything in the program, it works with a very old version of Photoshop I own and all the other graphics and photo apps that Windows gratuitously installed on my PC.

Now on to this product. I am NOT an artist. But I am an avid photographer and I love to correct, upgrade and restore photos. If you are an artist, you might want the model with the larger pen space, but for what I do, this one is perfect and totally affordable. I have been waiting for a long time for a quality tablet I can afford and here it is.

I think any install needs the very latest drivers to work properly, so no matter what OS you have, you can go for this tablet, install the latest drivers and you would be very happy for it.

This replaces my much preferred Intuos 3 that was rendered obsolete by Wacom refusing to update the drivers for mac osx. Tis a shame. This new graphics tablet has a tooth to the surface and provides a noticeable drag on the pen nib. My guess is that Wacom was attempting to replicate the feel of pencil on paper. Be aware that if you intend to use this tablet on a daily basis, order extra nibs. My old Intuos 3 had a glassy surface, no drag and the nibs lasted forever. The blue tooth feature has a bit of lag which is annoying, so I generally use the tablet wired. be advised if using a wireless mac mouse, you must turn off the mouse while using the graphics tablet or the pen will be slow to respond and jitter around.
The included software is entry level, difficult to install and is fairly useless unless you are new to graphics software.
The consumer would have been better served if Wacom included a full educational edition of Painter. All things considered, if I had it to do over again , Wacom would not be my first choice .

I own the Pro version and found that it takes up too much space on my desktop so decided try this smaller version to see how it compares. So far, it's been a hit. Super easy set up, just plug it in, Welcome screen comes up walks you through how to use the tablet and then updates to the latest software. I find that it's just as sensitive as the pro version, much better than the Bamboo tablet that I used to own before the Pro. I don't do a lot of heavy graphics so I'm sure the pro would excel, but for general photoshop use, it's perfect.

Before purchasing the Wacom Intuos 2018 I read reviews with concerns for the nibs and those with Bluetooth connectivity issues. However, the nibs seem fine, I did buy a screen cover. Initially, the Bluetooth wouldn't work. I found that by pressing the Windows key on a Windows laptop along with "r" on the keyboard a box appears. Type in ncpa.cpl press ok and then the Bluetooth network connection option and then add a device. I also found clip studio to be my favorite program to use.
