Отзывы о Дигитайзер Wacom PTH-860

I had high hopes for this tablet. I already own a small version of this that is not bluetooth and really enjoyed using it. I was excited to get the chance to upgrade to the medium when the price dropped, so expected the exact same performance from this as I got from the small.

That is not the case, as this medium size does not support multi-touch gestures. A disaster for a Mac user with multiple screens that I slide between. This can't be used as a full-time mouse because of the lack of gesture support. I hit problems as soon as I needed to scroll down a page that didn't have a scrollbar. The only way this can be operated is with the pen. So now I have had to resort to using a mouse and pen while working on Painter and Photoshop and just using the mouse for general computer use. I am sorely disappointed by this.

The bluetooth battery life is reasonable. A three-hour art session saw the battery drop by 40%. The battery also drops a few percent while stored away for a day or two.

My other big bugbear with this, which annoyed me with the small size too, is the surface damage done by the nib. My brand new tablet was marked all over by the time I had finished my first piece of art. It no longer looks new and pristine, but old and used like my two-year-old small tablet. It just scores too easily for my liking and I am not heavy-handed with it. It is just rapid wear and tear. There must be a way to have a nib that doesn't score the surface or a surface that is not so easily marked.

I would not have bought this if I knew multi-touch wasn't supported on this. Gutted.

I love using small tablets like this instead of using a mouse. I’d highly recommend every heavy computer user to buy one.

This Wacom is as good as any other I’ve had. It’s as sensitive as you need it to be, fully adjustable and super responsive. The drivers are great once setup, but they have their issues. I disconnect the tablet sometimes to take with my laptop. When I reconnect I loose mouse mode and have to either reboot or re select it in preferences. Sometimes it randomly looses mouse mode and sometimes touch mode gets stuck on for no reason. All driver issues and not hardware related. Sort it wacom. Other than that, it’s perfect as mouse replacement or for drawing.

I had rsi from using a computer too much for my job, the movement of a mouse constantly over a day took its toll. Using a pen like this solved all my issues. After 10 years using a pen instead of a mouse I can confirm it helped me massively. It’ll take time to get used to the change but persevere with it.

I'm a beginner, and I chose the medium size, which I'm more than happy with. It's very slim and lightweight, but feels well-built for the price. On the Wacom UK website, the price for this is £179.99, but on Amazon, I paid £109.99 (new) which is a steal.

It connects via BT to my Dell XPS (Win 10), and charges fairly quickly. I can also use it via USB although I wish the USB lead was a bit longer as I prefer to use the port on the other side of my laptop (the far side, because my laptop is hooked up to an external monitor, which it's sitting to the side of... anyways), but I use BT instead.

The colour is pretty cool. Would be nice if they came out with other colours, but that's not the most important thing here to consider.

The pen feels nice in my hand and it comes with 4 standard nibs (one's already installed and the other 3 nibs are inside the pen, revealed by unscrewing the top of the pen. The nib tool is built into the top of the pen too. It has a nice weight, and feels natural to hold. The two buttons don't get in my way but is easy to reach with my thumb because I place my thumb just below the bottom button, normally. Drawing on the tablet feels natural. Looking up at the screen whilst drawing takes a little practice but feels quite natural.

Online registration was fairly straightforward, and I was able to claim all 3 software that's on offer. I haven't installed them because Illustrator and Photoshop serves my needs.

Wacom's software + driver were very easy to install and setup. You can customise your tablet and pen settings for both general use and per-app use, which is very handy.

The only thing I would ask for from Wacom at this point would be to release a Paper version (like Intuos Pro Paper but without the hefty price tag) in Medium size. It kinda frustrates me I can't lay a piece of copy paper over the tablet and trace over it with the pen, even though there are other ways around that.

I needed a new tablet to help at Uni and freelance work and these are the tablets they have us use in lessons. But I figured I'd get my own so I can draw on the go and at home. No need to worry about batteries or cables coming loose - I really like having a portable cable as my previous tablet had the usb cable attached which meant over time it was bending a breaking. Having a pen stylus that needs no batteries is a weight off my shoulders so I don't have to preserve my drawing time to save battery life. I can't fault this tablet. Only thing I would say is that when installing the software and tying to get the free drawing program it wouldn't let me gain access so I did have to call up customer services to get that resolved (in the end I haven't used the Corel paint program much as I do find it difficult to draw with, as I'm used to Photoshop)

My first 'proper' pen tablet, and while I'm still on the learning curve I'm very happy with my purchase. Lightweight slimline design, sturdily built and was so easy to set up and connect via cable, then bluetooth. Slips into my laptop case alongside my laptop, adds very little depth to the case so very easy to transport when needed. Included software bundle easily downloaded and installed with no problems and there is lots of online tuition to help in the learning process for these applications.

This is a game changer when it comes to editing images, and I guess (since I don't really use for that) drawing. It is insanely precise, it works perfectly fine with both Lightroom and Photoshop. If you own a recent laptop that has ditched all USB-A ports (such as the new MacBook Pros or DELL XPS 13) the bluetooth version is a must, but I don't mean this in a bad way; bluetooth connectivity is superb and also being tethered is so 20th century, there is no latency and the battery last for various sessions of editing. You can charge the battery with any standard micro usb (the same one that you already use to charge other devices) so no issues there. Included with the tablet is a micro usb to USB-A cable, so if you need a USB-C you will need to pick it up separately (or if you don't already own one a dongle) but it really isn't a big deal since you probably won't need it (I have only connected the tablet to laptop once, when I was setting it up).

Make sure you download the drivers that come with the tablet so that you can personalise the buttons and functions to your liking. I for instance only use a portion of the pad since I feel 7 inches is a bit too much, but then again it is all personal preference. That tablet also comes with some free software but I personally can't comment on it since I have not use them.

TIP: if you are into drawing of want to get into it, Sketchbook Pro is free and totally compatible with WACOM tablets

I'm a training instructor and as well as running courses in classrooms in our centres and at client locations, I sometimes need to deliver classes over the internet using conferencing software and hardware. One issue with this is how on earth do you use a whiteboard? I decided to buy one of these tablets to see if it was any use.

The first thing you notice is that it is smaller than you think. The box contains the tablet, which has rubber studs on the back and four mappable buttons along the top, the stylus, and a USB cable. Software is downloadable from the Wacom website. It's a cinch to set up - you can pretty much just plug it in and use it straight away, but the software allows you to remap the buttons on the tablet for your own chosen functionality, configure the screen size (important if you are using multiple monitors and have your desktop extended across them all, as the tablet assumes that the complete width of all your monitors is a single screen, unless you tell it otherwise in the app) and so on. The stylus doesn't use batteries and has some spare tips inside - just unscrew the barrel and they're stowed inside.

It takes a bit of getting used to. As soon as you hold the stylus over the tablet it works as a mouse, and if you tap on the tablet surface it registers as a click, so if you really take to it I suppose you could even ditch your mouse. Of course, the tablet works with graphics software such as Photoshop and Gimp, but it also works with the likes of Microsoft Paint, Paint.Net and Windows Ink within Windows 10. For my purposes (sketches during courses) I found that Microsoft Paint or Windows Ink were absolutely fine. Sure, these "lesser" packages don't support pressure sensitivity whereas the likes of Photoshop do, but for me they were perfect. The hardest thing to remember is that as you draw on the tablet, nothing appears on it, just on the screen, but after a little while I found that it became second nature. Weirdly I did find that if I tried drawing in Paint.Net with the tablet some things didn't work so well, such as if I wrote with the stylus, or tried to draw freehand circles, but it was fine in other programs.

If you're a trainer like me and you want something that will let you doodle on the screen, present courses remotely with a virtual whiteboard, or if you fancy dabbling with photo editing, this tablet is small, light, portable, and doesn't break the bank. Of course, bigger and snazzier ones are available, but this one was a brilliant buy for me.

After having a Bamboo Fun for years and never felt the need to upgrade to an expensive Wacom, my Bamboo broke and I was forced to buy this tablet. Being a designer I found two issues with this, one serious and one easily rectified...the small tablet is too small for drawing on. Your wrist easily falls off when moving the pen around. I think the medium tablet would be better for designers. Most importantly, the Bluetooth feature of the tablet works great as long as your Mac mouse isn't connected via Bluetooth. When it is connected, the pen has serious lag issues that I couldn't find a way around. It appears you can't have both connected at the same time.

This is not fit for purpose. I suspect flawed drivers, but the device keeps dropping from my system. I have the most up to date drivers installed. Upon initial installation, it all worked fine, once I'd worked out the pressure I needed and all the other settings. After leaving the computer off for the night, I started it up this morning only to find that the computer could not find the tablet, not even when I replugged in the USB. Nothing I did over a couple of hours fixed this issue. For certain, I'm not up for uninstalling and reinstalling every time. For the cost, I find this lack of reliability appalling.
I use an Apple Mac on the most up to date OS. I had wanted the Wacom Pen Tablet to help with frozen shoulder issues which gets aggravated after prolonged mouse use. Looks like it's back to the drawing board on this one.
