Using and navigating with your Wacom Intuos Pen

- There is no sound in the video -
Need help getting starting with your new Intuos or are you just researching drawing tablet options? It is easy to start creating with your new Wacom Intuos pen tablet.
Make sure to grip your pen right in the middle so that your index finger is placed right over the front pen button. Hover the pen above the surface of the tablet to move the cursor in real-time. The tablet active surface area reflects the area of your display(s)/ monitor(s). Place the pen in the top right corner of the tablet and the cursor will snap directly to the top right corner of the screen.
Tap the pen tip to the surface of the tablet to perform a mouse click and so a double tap of the pen tip performs a double mouse click. Press the button on the pen while hovering to right-click.
Dragging the pen tip on the tablet, allows you to drag documents, for example. You, can also apply pressure with the pen on tablet and that will make for thinner or thicker strokes in drawing tools.
Learn more about customizing the pen buttons in the Wacom Desktop Center.

Is it that hard to add voice over to this tutorial?

[@UighurIT]

how do you write it?I bought a wacom one and I am unable to write it on screen.

[@TeSageDS]

1:17 love the scrolling feature. How can I set scroll window using two fingers?

[@synapticflow]

I never knew you could use these as a mouse! I might buy one just for that reason, to help me with wrist discomfort and also so I can use it left handed. I must say that it is strange to me not putting the pen down on the pad. I wonder if that might give me troubles.

[@wacom]

Hi, thanks for reaching out and for your interest! I'm very pleased to inform that our Wacom Intuos Pen works both as a mouse and as a pen, as it will adapt itself to the program you're using. You will also be able to use it with your left hand, as our tablets work both ways. If you need any help finding your perfeft fit, please let me know what kind of work you usually do, and which country you reside in. Thanks!^DP

[@PekkoAhlsten]

Is the mouse mode only available in Intuous Pro line? Or is there a mouse mode in the Intuous line too?

[@wynndye]

Hi, my pen doesn't seem to have a tip. Is the tip of the pen inside and if so, how do I get it out?

[@ricosuaveyatusave]

Se puede desactivar el sensor de movimiento y que el cursor solo se mueva cuando presionas con el lapiz la tablet? Es que no puedo ni tan siquiera hacer un triste trazo

[@AlternaIce]

Hello! I recently received a Wacom Intuos tablet for Christmas, so I opened up an art program and started drawing. I noticed a problem though, whenever I draw too fast (like making quick circles, scribbles) the tablet would still think I'm drawing even when I lifted the pen off the tablet. Is there a way to change this? Like going to the sensitivity settings or something?

[@wacom]

Thank you for reaching out. We can gladly help you with this situation. Please, tell us what is your tablet model number (located on the back of the tablet), your computer operating system version and the Wacom driver version you are running. Thank you in advance. °VR.

[@AlternaIce]

@@wacom I have a Wacom Intuos model CTL-4100, the computer I'm using is a Windows 10 Toshiba laptop, and my driver is up to date (6.3.32-4).

[@wacom]

Hi! I'm so sorry for this. We can try to reset the driver, like so: open Wacom Desktop Center > Click on "Backup Settings" (to backup your preferences) > click on "Reset Settings". This will force the driver to reboot and hopefully fix the issue. Hope this helps! Cheers!^DP

[@YouTolan]

Do these functions work the same way with wacom one pen and pad?

[@magaliaussie]

I just purchased a Wacom intuos s. I can select text, drag items, open folders but somehow I can't draw in gimp :( The pen of my other wacom (Intuos 3) works fine ... any idea what I need to do in order to solve this ? Thanks

[@gab3072]

can i use the pen always touching the trackpad and use the click function only when i press the button? It's weird for me to have to keep this distance between the pen tip and the trackpad... I would like to keep the pen tip always touching the trackpad and click only when I press the specific button for that.

[@richardrichard6725]

Same here. Have you found an answer?

[@katelynmizunashi9067]

How do I disable the hovering on the pen? Is it possible to make it only click when it taps the tablet itself? (the setting Pen Button Mode does not work.)

[@wacom]

Thank you for reaching! We are sorry to know that you are having issues with the tablet's pen features. Unfortunately, the hovering feature of the pen cannot be disabled. However, the pen should click only when you tap the tablet's surface with it. Is it doing so when you are hovering the tablet's surface with the pen? If that is the case, please provide us the tablet's model, Wacom driver version and operating system of your computer. Please let us know about anything else that we could help you with. -ET.

[@prakashlee_]

instead of scrolling down & up wacom is highlighting the text on mac os is there any fix for it

[@deliciouspops]

can you zoom in? progressively. as trackpad does

[@Atul20017]

Does this tablet work in Asus xdap15 ? I want to buy this tablet for animation

[@user-zm9rp8ns7m]

I bought wacom bamboo slate but I can't use it as a mouse. I am a teacher and I need to use my pen on a whiteboard too. Or take a text from my library and change it

[@dakotanorman416]

Just bought my intuos a few days ago, and the pen seems to double click when only tapping the pen once. I have all the latest drivers installed. Why is this happening? :(

[@wacom]

Hi Kota, thanks for reaching out. I am very sorry to hear that this is occurring with your Intuos tablet. Most likely, you will need to change the "Tip Feel" or the "Double-Click Distance" on Wacom Tablet Properties. Please try to re-adjust these values and try again, but don't hesitate to contact again should you require any further assistance. Cheers^DP

[@noistune5707]

I was just going to say the same thing. Just brought mine but the pen is straying away and double clicking.

[@Vpmadebymalamation]

i cant even connect mine do you need some sort of tablet or to charge it my box only came with the pen

[@warevol]

How do you zoom in and out in applications? I can't figure it out.

[@austencope]

[@leenabwani3049]

it appears to be that the icon for the bluetooth "pen" is a mouse, how do i change it to the pen so the pen will work?

[@gladops]

I’ve had my Wacom Intuos for about 5 months, and it worked fine! Until now. Now, the pen won’t move. I’ve tried a lot of things. Please help.

[@wacom]

Hello, thank you for reaching out, I do apologize for this situation and I will gladly help you. Please, tell us what is your tablet model number (located on the back of the tablet), your computer operating system version and the Wacom driver version you are running. Thank you in advance. °VR.

Hello, Wacom. I have resolved the issue.

Gladops Great, we're happy to know that you're able to get this resolved! Please let us know if you need further assistance. Regards, Wacom'JS

[@asrauwu5960]

@@gladops Hey, i happen to have the same problem, do you mind sharing how exactly you fixed it? :,)

[@gladops]

Sweet Cakes and Kookies What OS do you use? Mac or Windows?

[@bloqqmayus]

I just dont understand why we dont have an option for scrolling without pressing any button, like a mouse.

[@prakashlee_]

you can scroll without any button on windows all you have to do is you have to enable windows ink in wacom driver settings.

[@Andrew-hu8fs]

Hello Wacom, I just got my Wacom Intuos and I have soon found myself a problem. My pen will not work with Clip Studio Paint. I don’t know if you need to connect the tablet with the program or something like that, but what I do know is that my pen is in function with the tablet for when I press the diagnose button everything seems to be communicating right. I would really appreciate if anyone could help.

[@wacom]

Hi Andrew, thanks for reaching out. I am really sorry to hear that you've been experiencing these issues. Can you please provide your tablet's full model name, Operating System version and the currently installed Wacom driver? Would you also please let me know if this issue is only occurring with Clip Studio Paint or if it happens with different programs? I thank you in advance.^DP

[@Andrew-hu8fs]

Wacom!!!!! I’m so excited because I just got it working!!!!! My computer was blocking your Center so I fixed that and now it is working! Thanks for replying so quickly Wacom. I’m sure I will really like this product now that it’s fixed.

[@wacom]

Those are great news, kudos to you for figuring out the issue. Please do not hesitate in contacting us again if you need more help and most important, share your art with us. VR

[@zuuzuka]

I need help! I can not scroll on capture one 20!

[@lenseffect]

Set one of the pen buttons to "scroll", then click and hold that button and drag.

[@hyperinsomia]

Hi, can i use my finger as well? i.e 2 fingers to scroll down

[@-stargachaproductions-6184]

hyperinsomia nope

[@mahikatyagi5069]

I can use my fingers..

[@starcereal.]

how do i click! it dosen't work. i put my pen on the tablet to click and nothing happens

[@toukendanshiwarrior2846]

Just gonna say (I hope anyone else relates to this), my pen is fine, it has a short nib for now but I remember sometimes having to tap the second time or more on applications I'm using on the taskbar, especially CLIP STUDIO (the light-grey design that shows your current work). It doesn't close immediately when I'm clearly tapping on it UNLESS I do it at a tiny distance, a very soft and gentle tap (who does that?). FRICKIN' ANNOYING and stupid. Is the response impaired? The mouse has no issues so I don't know why cannot operate equally. That's my current experience.

[@boobyman49]

Could you please teach us how to find our wacom pen?

[@soph663]

Lol you mean you lost it?

[@eveliencambre456]

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to operate the tablet by hand, like you would with a mouse? (Touchscreen)

[@18JR]

No it does not have touch screen, it only senses the pen...

[@guruvishnu22]

Yes you can, If you flip the tablet and see at the top, there should be a switch which will allow you to switch from track pad to tablet and vice versa

[@justicerachel]

@@guruvishnu22 You must have "pro" or a previous version of the regular one. There is no switch on what they are selling now.

[@greetings_e]

Whenever I try to draw my pen goes down when it’s supposed to be high

[@SilverCipher]

turn it upside down

[@justicerachel]

This is not helpful. You should either include sound or give a written manual.

[@shivendrapawar9618]

worst product of all time
