wacom Intuos CTL6100WLK0 Creative Pen Tablet Bluetooth - Medium, Black (Renewed)

Bought this to try out digital drawing and once I figure out to use it with a few drawing apps, I will teach my great grandson to use it. He is young, very smart (a quick learner), and has infinitely more drawing talent than I do, so hopefully once he gets the basics, he'll just fly with it. I bought a refurbished unit for about 25% off and it looks and feels brand new. The medium size feels right. I'm using it on Linuxmint with Krita at the moment. Will try it on Windows 11 as well.

Item arrived as advertised, quite nice really considering it was refurbished. I've scuffed it up first day. The software seemed a bit tricky to get the hang of and as they give 3 options I chose them all. Seems its a trial period I've only really used Corel Painter Essentials though did try the others Manga and Photo something I have photo some thing else where and Manga was is still impossible for me to understand though I do like Manga! Painter is a very robust program that my ancient computer struggles to keep up with. Yet still manages to get me thinking and trying new things. Again bit of a learning curve here but very interesting. Will if able get the full version. Oh the tablet works great also need to experiment to get the right touch with the stylus but all in all worth the $. Wacom got/has many great reviews as the standard in this venue, and while what I see currently available from them is awe inspiring as well as the competition. This seemingly bare bones tablet is just what I needed to get my feet wet in digital ink. Though I must say I still prefer pen pencil to paper, this really opens up a new avenue of research in artistic endeavor. A pro recently you tubed a brilliant exercise with the software but thought the auto paint features were a bit 'kitchy' ( probably didn't spell that right, is there supposed to be a 'Z'? ) but I took my own pen to the tablet and painter essentials 6 and had it re do what I did to see what would come of it (experimental right?) and was and still am encouraged to put electronic expression to the test. Hope this helps.

a good graphics tablet, but could have used some printed instructions for people who dont like looking up a user guide online! i bought a used one and have had no problems with it so far! (3 years and counting!) size was not what i was expecting, but a good size none the less! very durable.

The tablet arrived packaged in original Wacom box inside the Amazon delivery box and was in perfect shape. After plugging in (not using Bluetooth), I installed downloaded and installed Wacom software, then restarted my Windows 10 computer, the tablet worked perfectly. I had no issues immediately using in Photoshop. With a refurbished tablet, I thought there might be issues, but there were none. I love drawing with this tablet. When I set the pen down, the mouse takes over automatically. Very easy to use.

I was new to photo editing in adobe photoshop and one of my colleagues told me about Wacom. This tablet has been life changing in that respect. I was using a mouse prior which had no precision what so ever. This on the other hand gives me so much more control. I was able to apply more pressure for darker lines and shading, and lighter pressure for lighter lines and shading. The amount of time it saves me in editing it has already paid for itself. I plan to instruct a class online in the upcoming weeks and plan to use this with the whiteboard features within the zoom software. I expect it will make that experience much more valuable. If you are on the fence about buying this, do it! This is a great product and worth the money. Also, the pen nibs - they don’t wear out that fast. I’ve been using this one that came with the pen for months. It’s barely even worn down. It’s very durable.

The tablet is just right. I am not using it for drawing but to replace a mouse to relieve RSI. It works great. becuase I am using it as a main interface it has taken me time to learn how to position it on my table, what shortcut keys to use and how the pen functions as a mouse in different applications with Windows Ink and without it. But after a week, I find it quick and simple and less stress than using a mouse.

I've had several Wacom tablets over the years and they've always worked well. This refurb looked new and had fairly original packaging. I've not tried the Bluetooth interface yet but the USB was fairly easy to install on my iMac. I registered the product and received keys to unlock the software after downloading from Corel. I got the tablet to work with Affinity Photo but the bundled software was a nice addition to try out other uses for the tablet. It can be fun to draw on a surface that is pressure-sensitive. No problems so far!

I'm a professional photographer and I use this for editing in photoshop. It works well, but TBH I preferred the old Wacom Bamboo with the smooth surface - but it won't run on the new Mac OS. I feel like with the slightly rough surface I may be wearing down my nib rather quickly and I can hear my pen dragging across it - does that matter? Probably not but just letting you know. On the plus side, it's light and easy to use and was basically plug and play after installing the software driver. The bluetooth feature is a dud. It connects right away but also disconnects very often and we are inches away from the macmini....sooo not great. And there is a lag, I guess to be expected with blue tooth, but it was more than I thought it would be. Using it with the USB wire provides the best performance, but takes up another spot on my limited usb hub. Maybe the pro would work better?
