Wacom's Intuos Pro Pen Tablet Redesign Promises More Control to Your Workflows

Users didn't appreciate the buttons, though.

Wacom's Intuos Pro displays are back better than ever, with its redesign promising users more control over their workflows – be it digital painting or 3D sculpting. 

Intuos Pro comes in 3 sizes: Small (8.5 x 6.4 x <0.3 in, or 215 x 163 x <7mm,) Medium (11.5 x 8.1 x <0.3 in, or 291 x 206 x <7 mm,) and Large (14.8 x 10.0 x <0.3 in, or 377 x 253 x <7 mm) with bigger, 16:9 active areas.

It features a new layout of customizable dials and ExpressKeys situated on top of the device, convenient for both hands. Combined with the Wacom Pro Pen 3, it is said to be more accurate than ever and has up to 16 hours of battery life per charge.

"The robust customization options and ergonomic layout of the new Expresskeys, mechanical dials, configurable pen buttons and on-screen controls seamlessly integrate with your software to make even the most complex workflows easy to control. Set-up is easy with convenient preset groups as well as the ability to individually configure each feature for application specific use."

These are great advantages of the new model, but users do not quite agree. In the comments on YouTube, many are baffled by Wacom's decision to place buttons on top.

"Brilliant, you put buttons no one is using anyway on top, to increase gap between tablet and keyboard/laptop. Bravo. Can we have professional Intuos tablet without any buttons?" asked one user.

"Love the addition of a scroll wheel with the buttons but why did they decide to move the buttons to the top? You'd think having the buttons on the side next to where your hand rests would be the best spot ergonomically. Now you have to reach over to the top of the tablet to access them, perhaps even overlapping your hands," added another.

Some also bemoan a lack of barrel rotation, an important feature for many artists.

If you'd like to purchase one of those, you'll have to spend $249.95 for Intuos Pro Small, $379.95 for Medium, and $499.95 for Large.
