Remote questions.

I am brand new to this. Was just using an android tablet for a while. Got a Wacom without touchscreen.

Just wondering about a controller/remote/keyboard situation.

As I’ve said I am brand new to it all so am unfamiliar with any of the options. My biggest issue as of now is just not being able to zoom or rotate or tap for undo. I would love to learn to use other shortcuts as well as I become more familiar.

Basically what are the best options for me?

Thanks.

Movink 14

Hiya! So im looking at buying a movink 14 for schoolwork, (animation student) as an upgrade to my current ipad pro. Main reason is the screen on my ipad drives me crazy, its like drawing on ice.

I was wondering what kind of screen the movink 14 has? Would it be the same as any other wacon or cintiq with the special screen that emulates drawing on paper?

The convenience of the movink is intruiging aswell, as i wouldnt need to carry around a computer as well as a moniter if i bought one.

And if anyone has bought one, whats been youre experience with it?

Any help appreciated thanks!!

movinkpad 11 wired connect to pc

im here to share my experience because i couldnt search much info about it.

i know wacom has instant pen display mode but it requires windows 11 and my computer is windows10 that i dont wanna update.

so i went to github and searched how to connect it without that wacom offcial app.
download apollo sunshine on pc, artemis on pad.
but i found that it is through wireless even if i plugged usb cables. and the latency is mid, line i draw is lagging sometimes; also the resolution is bad, and going worse and go back to normal bad every few seconds.

so i just asked chatgpt. i told it about my situation & demand, then it helped me to fix it. (keep the apollo and artemis. it asked me to open pad developer mode and open usb debugged mode and change some usb setting, check on pc device manager, then download google sdk platform on pc, use cmd , powershell, copy and paste back and forth, etc. ask ur gpt if u have same problem cus it seems to be showing ur specific ip address)

and it succeeded!
its very smooth. like the video ↑
only the resolution is not perfect (especially on texts) due to the small screen but its enough to draw and perform better than wireless.

wacom one 13 vs movink pad 11

the video i atteached is my wacom one (screen tablet on the left) and movinkpad 11 (right side). you can see theres no latency diff. 👍

wacom one has bigger frame and the glass of screen is thicker and too many cables for it… my desktop is overwhelmed.
so i wanna use movinkpad instead. movink pad only requires 1 usb cable (its double type c from my ipad haha)

Wacom End of Life

I've never owned a stylus/tablet. I heard Wacom tablets are the industry standard. My university library had a tablet for students to borrow. I figured I'd try it out before purchasing my own.

I took it home, followed the installation instructions, and was notified that the tablet was no longer supported. I rolled back to the recommended drivers, but now the Wacom Center won't launch on my Mac.

The tablet is a CTH-690/K. It looks brand new (The pen holder has not even been stretched). Is this normal? Are there community drivers? If not, I will likely look for a different brand to purchase from.

What Drawing Tablet should I get?

I’m getting back into digital art and editing and have always used Apple products, but I’m currently deciding between the Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14 and the 13-inch iPad Pro with the M5 chip.

I’ve mainly used Procreate and ibisPaint in the past, but I’d really like to start learning Clip Studio Paint as well. When I say “editing,” I’m also interested in animation, both frame-by-frame animation, and tweening. I’d especially love to try ToonSquid, although I’m not very familiar with it yet.

For anyone who has experience with these devices or apps, which would you recommend? Would the iPad Pro be the better all-around option for what I want to do, or is the MovinkPad Pro 14 worth considering?

I’m also open to other tablet recommendations if there’s something that would suit my needs better.

I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from artists who use Clip Studio Paint, ToonSquid, or do animation on their tablets!

New iPad or drawing tablet/Wacom Cintiq?

Hi so I’m looking for opinions on what kind of new drawing medium I should get. I’m bad at making decisions myself and I want to hear other people’s thoughts or experiences with either medium.

I previously had an iPad that had a good run, almost ten years, but it’s stopped working in certain parts of the screen so it’s obviously made drawing hard.

I’m debating whether to get a new iPad or invest in a drawing tablet. The one I was recommended was the Wacom Cintiq 16. I’m only familiar with Procreate as it’s all that I’ve been using, however I don’t want to use Procreate for the rest of my life. I got a cheap drawing pad on Amazon and briefly used it in combination with Krita but I found the projection onto my monitor uncomfortable, I’d prefer to draw directly onto a screen. Any opinions or advice are welcome. Thank you.

Which Laptop for my Wacom Cintiq 16 and CSP

So I‘m planing on getting a new Laptop for drawing and maybe some simple 2-D animations with my Wacom Cintiq 16 tablet and CSP since my old one is basically unusable at this point.
I don’t really plan on spending too much money on it since it’s only for that one purpose and that’s just a side hobby. My main question would be if I should buy a refurbished upper class model like for example this: Dell Precision 7550 | i7-10850H | 15.6"
16 GB | 512 GB SSD | FHD | Webcam | Nvidia Quadro T2000 | Win 11 Pro | DE from 2020 for \~500€
Or a brand new lower/ middle class model in the same price range.
If you say the refurbished one would be good how long do you think I could use it before it gets too old as well and if you say a new one I’d love some suggestions.
I have absolutely zero knowledge in this area tbh.
Many thanks in advance

Is this normal behavior?

Windows 11 on Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3
Intuos Pro M PTH-660 (secondhand)
Driver 6.4.13-4 Windows 10 & 11 (x64) & Windows 11
Using a cable, no bluetooth enabled

Recently bought this Wacom second hand, and I'm having trouble with the touch functionality. I can only get it to work half the time and even then it will be choppy and slow. I can pan sometimes, but as shown in the video often it doesn't work at all

On FireAlpaca it does nothing, on Krita it does as shown. I have tried switching the rendering process to OpenGL which seems to have improved responsivity, but otherwise I'm not sure what to do. Is the Wacom just old? It has a bit of lag, so I'm worried. Are my hands just too damn sweaty?

The aim was to have smooth zoom, pan and rotate. Any help would be much appreciated

Got gifted this as a gift from my late Grandparent.

It was given to me when going through the items left behind and I took it as I have been thinking about getting a Wacom tablet. Its a Wacom Bamboo, the oldest of the line and I don’t have the software disc that it comes with, I do not know what to do with it. Thoughts?

Setting up my Wacom Cintiq Pro 13

So one of my friends gave me this Wacom Cintiq Pro 13 for free as I want to get into drawing on a tablet and I feel like an idiot but I need help setting this up.

I originally thought that I just needed to connect it to my computer but then nothing happened. I then I thought I had to connect it to a wall outlet but once again nothing happened. All the stuff online aren't really clear on what exactly is needed to set this up, even Wacom's website is not able to play their video on how to set it up.

I took it to a repair shop and thankfully they just said that I just need a good wall outlet for it. So now I'm confused on how to get this turned on and connected to my PC. I'm looking at adapters but I don't know which one I need to get. Also which port is for what as my friend didn't have the box or anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Should I wait for the Movinkpad Pro 14 Eva Special Edition to come back in stock or just buy the normal version?

The Eva is out of stock and I'm not sure when it will come back. All the Wacom site says is that "soon back in stock." Should I wait or just get the regular version? I plan on using Krita.

Wacom Movinkpad 11 vs Samsung Galaxy s10 FE

Hey Wacom people,

I've been using my intuos pro medium (2013) for 13 years now and I will continue to use it. Now I am looking for a tablet and when I found out Wacom made one I was curious to see how it will hold up over time.

I don't expect it to last 13 years but at least for 5 years. Does anyone know if this is realistic, or should I settle for something else? The other tablet on my list is the Samsung Galaxy s10 fe, it's a similar price range.

My main reason for the Movinkpad would be the drawing experience which is supposed to be really good. Beside that I want to use it for notes and notion, and reading comics.

Thanks in advance for your help!

moving on from my ipad

I do have an wacom drawing pad that you hook up to a moniter but I'm not sure i like it? only used it once but the pen feels janky to me. anyway i want a cintique maybe? I really just want something like my ipad and can use clip studio paint since I want that upgrade I saw people recommend xp pen but I want it to have a pc like interface so I can use clip studio without paying for a subscription.

my main reason for wanting an upgrade is that I would like to start making comics and I don't think procreate is gonna cut it plus ipads are very unreliable with the pens (if ykyk). I tried krita on my intuos but it still didnt feel right because im used to an ipad so suggestions/advice is appreciated !

Will Pro Pen 2 Work On Newest Wacom Cintiq Pro?

This is a stupid question, but let me be stupid, because I'm preparing to drop $2500!

I own a Pro Pen 2 from my last Wacom Pro. I looked at the Pro Pen 2's page on Wacom's site, checking its compatibility with my soon-to-be-purchased Wacom Cintiq Pro 17". That device's model number is "DTH172K0A".

The page does say it's compatible with a Wacom Cintiq Pro 17", but it lists that device's model number as "DTH172K0B".

I want to be absolutely sure... Does that 1 letter difference mean anything, or is it 100% the same device? This matters to me, because the Pro Pen 3 packaged with Cintiq Pro allegedly sucks, and my Pro Pen 2 is awesome.

Finally got myself the 14pro

finally got it and after using it for a bit im really mixed on it 😭

the actual drawing feel is really good. i love the screen surface, its less sticky than my phones and the pen feels great

the display itself looks weirdly hazy, almost like theres a privacy filter on it all the time

the whole android experience feels really underdeveloped for a tablet this expensive. a lot of screens look like they were just stretched onto a 14 inch display without actually being designed for it, with tiny text and buttons, huge amounts of empty space and stuff awkwardly sitting in the corners. it makes the whole thing feel way cheaper than it actually is

the power button is completely flush with the side while the volume button sticks out a little. because the tablet is so thin i can barely press the power button when its lying flat without using my nail

the bezels are around 1cm or a little more. thats not necessarily bad for a drawing tablet, but visually it still makes it feel less premium than i expected

so far it feels like wacom absolutely nailed the part where you actually draw on it and then kinda stopped caring about everything around that 😭 im gonna use it for a while before i decide if i actually hate it or if the first impression is just really bad

edit: after using it a bit longer i noticed a few more things. text looks noticeably soft pretty much everywhere and after a while it actually starts hurting my eyes, and the hazy screen surface makes it look even worse. the ui keeps feeling unfinished too, the brightness slider only shows the percentage after you let go of it instead of while youre adjusting it, and some icons on the home screen randomly jump around even when im not touching anything. that doesnt affect drawing obviously but it caught my eye instantly and just looks weird. the screen also changed brightness by itself once even though adaptive brightness was off, no idea what caused that yet so im gonna see if it happens again
