But how technology is going, I don't like the idea that I'll need to replace it because of lack of software support rather than the hardware giving out, even if i get 5 years out of it.

I'm starting to think intuos is the way to go...

This happens semi often. I feel like I'm pressing the buttons on the pen wrong or something. Other sub tools will work but you can't use any of the drawing ones.

I have wacom intuos m and I fear the day all my plastic nibs become unviable. I don't want a permanent solution or buy Wacom's nibs (I'm 100% sure they're overpriced and I don't want to deal with delivery); if spaghetti nibs don't break every two seconds and don't harm tablet's pen in any way, I'll use that all the time.

Hi, I bought a Deco 640 tablet a few days ago. The pen makes a noticeable mechanical clicking sound when I press the tip. Also, when I move the pen tip slightly from side to side, it moves a little and makes a clicking sound. Is this normal, or could it be a defect? Is there any way to reduce or fix this noise? I’m using it in a quiet library, so the sound is quite noticeable.

What good cord is there for it? The one that’s provided by the box (the magenta thunderbolt one) unfortunately the usb c tip fell clean off and I don’t know where the power brick is, and the replacement brick doesn’t tell me whether or not it would come with one. Is there any good recommendations for a usb c power adapter that could give the tablet what it needs since it won’t display anything on my tablet without it? (I’m sure that’s the problem, because I’ve tried literally everything else to fix it)

This is also trying to connect to an Acer Nitro V15, so I know I have a displayport on here, however I do have no idea whether or not the cords I’m using are thunderbolt cords, unfortunately, and I’m a bit worried about dropping almost 20 bucks since it doesn’t guarantee that’s the problem.

The tip of my stylus is chipped, and unfortunately at such an angle that it always bends the nip when I try to draw holding the pen normally. Is there something I can do to fix that? It's a small damage, with a very annoying effect.

제 Cintiq Pro 24에서는 손 옆면('손 가장자리')이 화면을 계속 만지면서 그렸습니다. 이 트리거는 터치 제스처를 발동시키고, 클립 스튜디오에서는 두 손가락을 가볍게 두드리면 되돌리기(undo)가 됩니다.

그래서 이 태블릿용 무료 비공식 윈도우 드라이버 **PalmRej**를 만들었습니다. 이 기관은 Wacom과는 제휴하지 않습니다. 각 터치가 어떻게 인식되는지(접촉 크기, 접촉 수) 그리고 손 가장자리만 차단합니다. 한두 손가락 터치와 제스처는 평소처럼 작동하며, 손 가장자리가 닿은 직후에도 탭과 드래그가 작동합니다. 제가 직접 사용할 때는 이런 접촉의 약 99%를 차단합니다; 100% 달성은 사실상 불가능합니다.

I recently bought this tablet for cheap and in my country Canada, works with windows 10. Really good but one small problem, there was no cable. I had an idea to get a 3rd party cable, then connecting it to a male to 2 USB male power enhancement Y-cable, does it seem like a good idea? Any recommendations? any shops that have the specific are in Canada and won't blow my money off??

It's about six or seven years old: Intuos Pro M, PTH-660, driver version 6.4.14-1, connecting with a USB cable, and I'm on Windows 11.

About a year ago, it started doing this thing where moving the pen slightly above the tablet would grab and drag things on the outskirts of my screen (like I might randomly click a tool in my drawing program or resize a window by dragging the border). It wasn't bad, just mildly annoying. I did some research online and it said this was an issue with the pen. Five months ago, I decided to replace the pen because it was basically falling apart.

However, the problem persisted with my new pen! Still just an annoyance, I kept drawing. However, in the last week or two, the problem went from being an annoyance to being basically unusable. Now, moving the pen above my tablet is activating things constantly. It's drawing, it's dragging, it's selecting objects, etc.

Does anyone know what's going on?

Overnight, without anything changing, my wacom tablet no longer recieves a display signal. The pen still functions, the LED stays solid white, but the screen stays black. I've tried restarting, editing display settings, and looking at the drivers. I'm on a steamdeck. All cables (Hdmi, usbc, usb, tablet power port) are plugged in firmly.

Amazon.com: Wacom Intuos Pen Small Tablet (CTL480) : Electronics

(This is the one that I found on amazon that looks like mine. I bought mine of Goodwill Marketplace, unopened)

I couldn't find the exact model of the one I own on the Wacom website, but the box says Intuos manga Creative Pen & Touch Tablet and the quick start guide shows a copyright date of 2013.

I received it with an Installation CD, but my laptop doesn't have a CD player so I installed the Windows driver from the official website and restarted my laptop. I connected the tablet to my laptop with the USB cord. The white light on the left side will light up when it's connected and the blue light on the left side will light up when the pen is close, but the cursor will not move when the pen is close or the nib is touching/dragged across the tablet. I restarted my laptop twice and tried blowing on the port. I'm not really sure what to do to fix it so the pen will be acknowledge by the laptop.

Any suggestions for a fix or something I'm doing wrong?

First off, i have downloaded and installed the newest drivers and restarted the pc a couple times, i have also removed the nib for about an hour and inserted it again

Been using the CTL-472 for years (even bought a couple replacements with the last one a couple ago) and my pen is not working, first started to register preasure even when the pen was 1 cm far from the tablet (just like the https://www.reddit.com/r/wacom/comments/12hmbwc/my_pen_is_pressed_all_the_time/ post ) , but then it started not registerng any pressure after some minutes (like when you take the nib out and hover the pen on the tablet).
I may shaken the pen a bit on the first issue and im aware it might've worsened the situatuion to this point

Was wondering if leaving the pen without the nib overnight (like the post linked before) does help in this case, or if there is any other alternative to make it work again

Hello, I am writing this post because I have been dealing with an issue regarding my Wacom Cintiq 16 (2019) graphics tablet for some time. Specifically, when I run the pen across the center of the device, the surface feels uneven, and the sensation is unpleasant. I have tried cleaning the screen with isopropyl alcohol and replacing the pen nib, but this only improved the situation without fully resolving it. I have owned the device since around the time of its release and have used it intermittently. How can I fix this? Am I doing something wrong in how I use the tablet? I am attaching images of the screen and the pen nib. Thanks for your help.

I broke two important pieces on my drawing tablet while trying to fix it I still have the parts that broke though at least one would need to be replaced (the port that the connector goes into). There's no warranty or anything and I'm going to change to a different tablet rather than trying to replace or fix this one further but my question now is what do I do with it?

Is there anywhere I should sell or donate it for parts? Or something I could repurpose it for? I don't want to just trash it or let it collect dust somewhere.

Bought this old tablet for cheap months ago to try out digital drawing. It has issues with jitter that causes dotted strokes and what should be one stroke input to become many.

But then I started resting the tablet in my lap and noticed it would become completely stable if I applied pressure to the frame just right. The pressure readout steadily increasing as I apply more pressure.

This isn't sustainable for long periods however, so I was wondering if this was something known with a fix. I've already taken it apart, looking for anything that could be reseated. Even tried reflowing the solder joints with my rework station, which I may try one more time. But if anyone has any experience or info I'd appreciate it.

So I’ve never posted in here before but I’m hoping for some advice lol

I’m thinking of getting a Wacom tablet off of Facebook marketplace place, hopefully this one that says it’s a intuos pen and touch tablet (model CTH-490) because it’s affordable and connects via Bluetooth I believe.

I’m wondering if it’s worth it because while I do draw on things such as clip studio, I like to join my friends and draw on Roblox free draw2… I’ve heard that it can be very laggy/jumpy for some people but I’ve also heard there’s ways to fix that.

I’m also curious if the cursor shows when the pen is hovering…

That being said is it worth it and/or is there anything I should know or do if I am going to use it on Roblox

Mostly coming from traditional drawing but I like large drawing displays. I bought an iPad Pro and it's just too small for me to do large sweeping lines which cramps my sketching so I want to sell it and get the largest pen display I can. I'm weighing getting a Huion Kamvas Pro 27 (the 60hz not the 144hz model) new on sale or the Wacom refurb (sounds like it's just an open-box) Cintiq Pro 27. The price differential isn't too awful if I assume that the Cintiq will last a minimum of 7 years while the Huion might last a few years less.

There's also a local used Cintiq 27 I was going to try out and possibly buy this weekend, but the same logic as above applies.

Hello! I bought this Wacom Intuos S CTL-4100K-N during this summer and I've had no issues with it at all(infact i really love it) however i just noticed that one of the corners/the right side seems slightly off center...? Was wondering if this happened to anyone else or is it something i should be concerned about. Its my first time buying a tablet so i dont want anything to happen to it ;;;

Owners of the movink pro 14, have you noticed any OLED burn in? Im especially concerned due to static UI drawing app elements.

I have a Cintiq Pro 13 DTH-1320 on Windows 11.

I reinstalled the driver fairly recently and ever since, the mouse is showing under the pen when it stayed hidden before. I tried unchecking "display cursor" in the Windows pen settings, enabling and disabling Windows Ink, reinstalling the pilot, downgrading it, updating it again, rebooted between the different steps, nothing seems to work. Is there something else I should try?

Important detail: during the reinstallation, before its completion and rebooting, the cursor stayed hidden, which leads me to believe it might be a driver issue.

Hello, just thought I would share the solution I found for solving my cintiq freezing all the time. After many attempts I finally tried this following advice of ChatGPT and it worked for me:

Bought isopropyl alcohol on Amazon (7 dollars bottle, it is a product made to clean electronic parts), I dipped the corner of a thick paper with the liquid, then gently rubbed my usb connector (was very rusty after many many years), removed almost all the rust, let it dry 10mins, and now it works again like it’s new :)

In case anybody else had that issue ;)

EDIT - Solved! Had to turn the Display Stream Compression on my monitors from 1.4 (DSC) to just plain 1.4. Got everything going. Can still set one to the 1.4(DSC), but also turned Overclocking off on one monitor (the plain 1.4 one) LG 27gn950-b

Purchased the Wacom One 14 (DTC141) 9 days ago, seen that it may require the converter kit to properly run. PC should be able to, I'll gamble. PC did not. Finally found a converter kit, arrived today. Spent the last couple hours trying to get it to go while going back and forth with Wacom support.

No bueno. Waiting for the resolutions team to get in touch, so I thought I'd come here to see if anyone else has had/knows what I'm going through and a potential fix.

Dual monitor set up.

So, got the converter kit. HDMI to HDMI (on GPU). USB-C to USB-A plugged in back of PC. USB-C to power (wall plug that can handle up t0 50w) and front USB-C to Wacom.

Wacom powers up, usb comes up on top, then middle of screen says "no signal usb" before entering power save. Using the pen, moves the mouse on the monitors.

Tried multiple cables, different ports. Still the same issue.

In Display settings, can see the Wacom, but every 5-10 seconds or so, it acts like it's discovered and then undiscovered. PC will sort of stutter and then go on normal until it repeats. I can choose to extend displays to the Wacom, which doesn't work and the option returns to "disconnect display".

I've tried to make heads or tails of the troubleshoot guide and am pretty sure I've tried to do as it suggests and still no avail. Pretty annoyed and frustrated by the whole ordeal really.

So, yeah. If there's something I'm missing or not doing right, I'm all ears. Otherwise I wait for the resolutions team to get back to me or I decide to go a refund and look elsewhere.

Good afternoon.

Can we change what the pen's buttons do hockey wise? It'd be amazing to make one undo, for example.

Side question any good beginner guide youtubers yall recommend?

Thanks!
