Review on Wacom Digital Graphic Drawing PTH660P by Mack Cruz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product but driver incompatibility issues and my old Wacom pens need to go to landfill

I have some very good Wacom tablets which I now have to throw away due to lack of access drivers for modern OSX. I also have some great Wacom pens (sigh) so it's just a pain in the ass to throw out what isn't broke, spend money to replace a working tablet and throw it in the landfill. In any case, what choice do we have? So I tried the $99 version first, but it was small and cheap. Came back same day and got this Intuos Pro Medium - works well and is as good as the ones I already have. Maybe it will be supported for a few more years? Hope. But - a few days later I tried to use my USB port with another program and it wasn't available - why? Well, it turns out that the Wacom drivers conflict with the Arduino IDE - maybe the hardware or apps too - you might find something too :) Tech support helpfully suggested that I uninstall their driver and get an older version download (unfortunately previous versions had many bugs) or just uninstall and reinstall if you need to use it. See problem solved - laughing - Wacom problem solved - I'm still stuck with a very painful workaround.

Pros
  • Graphics tablets
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options
