Safe way to clean old cintiq?
Haven't drawn in a long time, been in storage. Want to pick it up again. Sticky and kinda gunky. Any experience in a chemical and method that won't damage the buttons and screen? Thanks everyone

Got a Medium Intuos Pro PTH-660 recently, I'm having trouble adapting to looking up at my monitor or laptop. I know it's just about experience but I just wonder what I can do to get better.
I make physical art; paint and draw, I'm not too bad. But on this thing I just can't even process what to do. Maybe it's too much freedom idk.
Used to have an iPad but haven't made digital art in a while.I'm using Krita; I'm a little familiar. Also have to setup key binds. I don't know how digital artists do it.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Update: Thank you so much everyone for your thoughts! I will continue to grind and practice!
hello! I am wondering which specific models of Wacom tablets are touch screen displays? As far as i am aware, not all cintiqs have the touch screen capability, and as i have mainly done digital art on iPad with procreate and more recently Wacoms Movink with CSP, touch screen is very vital to me.
any gen of model recommendations please! preferably over 20 inch displays. thank you!
Or does it have the antiglare "coating" (aka matte built in screen protector) like the older lines of the Cintiq? I saw the site said coating, but I just want to be extra sure. I've been looking to upgrade my 13HD by next year or the end of this year and the 16 2025 seems perfect.
Also, this might sound stupid, but I have no idea where to buy it?? I never bought a tablet this close to its initial release I guess, last I bought my 13HD it was 2017, but I had no trouble finding new listings on ebay. Same for my previous bamboo create, and when the 16 and 13 pro released and I was contemplating, I had no issue finding new listings as well. This time, I'm shocked that I can't find it on ebay or amazon international. And the wacom official site doesnt ship to the middle east... safe to say, I'm stuck on that too. Any help would be appreciated!
Tried everything bought the Wacom branded 3 in 1 cord for the cintiq 16 but found out this is for a previous version of the cintiq so then I bought a mini HDMI to HDMI along with a UBS a - UBS c and am still getting this error. The Wacom is registering as connected on my computer but nothing on the screen. I believe I have everything hooked up in the right place anyone have any advice?? :(
Well this happened—from only about 3ft up too, SIGH.
It still works but it no longer snaps together. I’ve always wondered if I could carefully pry it open and MOD it by painting the parts/pieces a different color but when I tried it never felt like it was able to carefully come apart….. now I know, it’s not.
II wonder if this is a sign for me to get the Tourbox Elite Pro? 🤔 LOL
Got everything for $70 on Facebook Marketplace.
Both 2017 ones both work perfectly and have both pens, can't even see any scratches. Large one the pen doesn't work, and the smallest one didn't have a pen. But they do turn on and work.
Should I get a new pen for the large one?
Was this a successful purchase?
Intuos Pro Medium (2017) - PTH-660
Intuos Pro Small (2017) - PTH-460
Intuos Pro Large - PTH-851
Intuos - CTL-4100
I wanted to write this because I have been quite critical of Wacom in the past.
I sold my Cintiq Pro 27 after dealing with fan noise and light bleed, and I’ve also had frustrating experiences with Wacom’s European support. So I did not buy the MovinkPad Pro 14 as a blind Wacom loyalist.
My older posts about the Cintiq Pro 27 and Wacom’s EU support are still available on my Reddit profile, so this is not a sudden switch from fanboy to praise. This is just my honest experience with this specific device.
That said: credit where credit is due.
Main review
The MovinkPad Pro 14 is genuinely one of the nicest pieces of drawing hardware Wacom has made in a long time.
The pen experience is excellent. The Pro Pen 3, combined with the etched glass surface, feels precise, controlled, and very professional. It has real tooth, the pressure feels serious, and the whole thing feels more like a drawing tool than a luxury tablet. The build quality also surprised me in a good way. The magnesium body feels solid and practical without becoming too heavy or precious.
As a physical drawing device, I liked it a lot.
For people who already use the current Wacom ecosystem, this is also where the MovinkPad makes the most sense. I also use a Cintiq 24 (2025) and the new Intuos Pro M, so the consistency of the Pro Pen 3 across these devices is genuinely nice. Same pen language, same general feel, same muscle memory. That part of Wacom’s ecosystem is still strong.
But this is also where the contradiction starts.
On desktop Wacom devices, the Pro Pen 3 feels like part of a mature professional system. You can customize buttons, tune the setup, and adapt the tool to your workflow.
On the MovinkPad Pro 14, you cannot really do that in the same way. The pen buttons are not freely customizable at system level. They are basically preset, and beyond that you have to rely on what individual app developers support. That is a major limitation for a device that is supposed to be a professional standalone drawing tablet.
So the pen hardware is excellent, but the control layer around it is not on the same level as Wacom’s desktop ecosystem.
The Android art ecosystem still feels unresolved for a professional standalone drawing tablet. Clip Studio Paint is powerful, and yes, it has Simple Mode on tablets, so this is not about CSP being unusable. The bigger issue is that CSP on mobile requires a subscription, while desktop licenses do not carry over in the way many artists would naturally expect.
Infinite Painter is probably the closest app to the kind of immediate drawing experience I want on a tablet, but I would not personally want to base an expensive professional hardware purchase around one or two apps and hope the platform keeps up.
Another important point: most of the relevant art apps are not exclusive to the MovinkPad or Android anyway. The iPad also has Clip Studio Paint, Infinite Painter, Fresco, Photoshop, and other serious creative apps — plus Procreate. Krita is the notable missing one on iPad, if that matters to your workflow. But for me, Krita alone is not enough to outweigh the rest of the iPad ecosystem.
That is the core issue for me: long-term confidence.
With an iPad, I know what I am buying into. I know Procreate is there. I know most of the same alternative art apps are also there. I know the OS will be supported for a long time. I know how backup, files, export, app updates, accessories, and resale value work. I may have my issues with Apple, but the platform direction is clear.
With MovinkPad Pro 14, I never felt that certainty.
Wacom has not communicated a clear long-term Android roadmap for this device, at least not in a way that would make me fully comfortable. How many major Android updates will it get? How long will it remain compatible with future versions of CSP, Infinite Painter, Krita, or other creative apps? What happens if those apps eventually require newer Android versions and Wacom stops updating the device early?
That is not a small concern. A standalone drawing tablet can have fantastic hardware and still become obsolete too early if the software platform is not maintained properly.
And this is where the MovinkPad Pro 14 feels strange to me: the pen and hardware feel professional, but the ecosystem feels much less certain.
I ended up returning mine.
Not because the hardware was bad. Quite the opposite. I returned it because the hardware deserved a stronger and more clearly supported platform than the one currently surrounding it.
Verdict
The MovinkPad Pro 14 is excellent as a drawing object.
Wacom deserves real credit for the hardware. The Pro Pen 3, the etched glass surface, and the overall drawing feel are genuinely strong. For pure pen feel, Wacom still knows what it is doing.
But for a professional standalone tablet, the platform around the pen matters just as much as the pen itself.
And that is where the MovinkPad Pro 14 becomes harder to recommend. It is held back by limited pen-button customization on Android, unclear long-term OS support, mandatory CSP subscription on mobile, and an art-app ecosystem that still does not feel as settled or confidence-inspiring as iPad.
For artists who mainly care about pen feel, already like Android art apps, are fine with CSP subscription on mobile, need Krita specifically, or want a standalone Wacom sketching device alongside a Cintiq/Intuos setup, the MovinkPad Pro 14 may be genuinely appealing.
But if you are coming from iPad + Procreate and rely on a polished, low-friction, long-term creative ecosystem, the MovinkPad Pro 14 still feels like a risky step sideways.
Great hardware.
Excellent pen.
Uncertain platform.
That was the deal-breaker for me.
I recently won an Intuos pro medium as a reward for an art competition. I’m almost entirely a traditional artists and already have an old Huion drawing tablet in case I want to do any digital art.
The tablet is unopened, I wondered if anyone had any advice on 1) if I should sell it, 2)if so for how much, bearing in mind its brand new and unopened, and 3)where would be the best place to sell it, eBay? Facebook marketplace?
Thank you for any help!
yes this is a ai thumbnail wtv, if yall strugle with pen lag in roblox drawing games here is an actual fix, I just found it myself today
PLEASE READ THE FULL EXPERIENCE BEFORE ASKING ME QUESTIONS THANK YOU
After spending over $150 dollars on extra things to make the Wacom One compatible with my computer, it simply does not work.
I cannot recommend this product to ANYONE unless that have fully reviewed the Wacom One computer spec requirements and they are POSITIVE that it will work. Your computer specs must match TO THE T, EXACTLY what the wacom one needs or it seems NO amount of extra purchases in accordance with guidance from wacom will work.
If you want frustration and disappointment, go ahead and purchase the Wacom One.
This is my first foray into drawing tablets, and it is absolutely my last. Back to literal sketchbooks we go!

The movink tablet it self has no physical problems but the screen won't turn on. The buttons won't wake the screen. When I connect the charger it makes a sound indicating its charging. When connected to a pc my pc detects it but can't access anything. I haven't used it for about a month so it was super dead but when I put it to charge it got to 30 percent before the screen went black (tablet was still off just the percentage number was showing). The pen does nothing with the screen as well. Can anyone give me a hand at fixing this, I tried calling wacom but I think they are off for holiday. This is the model number DTHA140EL0Z and I just use the tablet by itself.
Hi! I’m writing to inquire about the new Wacom Cintiq 24 Touch. My Cintiq Pro 24 has died and I need a replacement. To keep costs down and stay within the Wacom family, I’m looking at the Cintiq 24 Touch. My use is for professional illustration and modelling for entertainment arts, including game and film (vfx/animation). I am looking at pairing it with both the Pro Pen 3 (fully customized) and the new Art Pen 2 for barrel roll.
My only reservations are related to the overall screen quality and colour. I’ve watched just about every video on YouTube, but have read mixed reviews. Professional art director and concept artist, Adam Duff, suggests that the screen has exceptional resolution and colour. He said only if you are a pixel peeper explicitly looking for noise, you may notice a difference.
Just wondering if those who have this tablet can chime in on their experience with it and overall the quality of the display?
Thanks!
should i buy a used intuos pro 2017 in 2026. I was planning to buy an xp pen artist pro 16 gen 2 as my first pen display but I’m a bit worried about ergonomics since i have a bad shoulder and I’m also worried about the cable managing. I’m moving soon also so the pth-660 being lightweight is a big plus. However I’m worried about the driver not supporting the tablet in some years from now. I’m wondering if I can just use the old driver and not update to the latest one, what would happen if I keep using the old driver, will it get faulty. And the xp pen artist pro 16 gen 2 can be switched to a pen tablet also so I can get 2 in 1 and not having to contemplate on the choice much? If I buy the intuos pro 2017 now I can save to get a cintiq 24 2025 with stand in the future because I don’t want to settle with the foldable legs on the artist pro 16 gen 2, worrying it might strain my neck. Since it’s gonna be my first screen table, I’m very worried. Should I go for it or just resort to the intuos pro 2017, but I would need assurance about the driver support. My previous tablet is an xp pen deco 02
Hello everyone! I just got a new pc and have a Wacom one tablet (I think the model is DTC121), it has two usbc cables, one to plug into an outlet and one into the pc. Turns out my new pc doesn’t have a usbc port that supports display, and was wondering if a usbc to DisplayPort cable would be able to replace the one I need to hook it up? Thanks for any help I may get!
My small intuos broke a while back so I've been thinking about getting an upgrade. I've seen the MovinkPad 11 and was very attracted to its features to be a "portable cintiq", however I heard it has a little latency and probably isn't best to be bought for that feature alone.
I need it as a second monitor for my laptop for when I'm at work since I have a cintiq 16 at home, so I don't know if I could justify the price of a MovinkPad 11 if I will be dissatisfied with the performance. I am open to just getting another intuos if it is the best in terms of performance for my needs, but a part of me has fomo for screen tablets, like they look more professional whereas screenless makes me feel like a dweeb LOL
Hey guys, I know this super stupid.... but I am having trouble with my setup. I got a Cintiq secondhand.. and it turned out I had no idea how big 27inches actually are.
So now I have no idea how to properly use it? (I do have the ergo stand, but I feel like even with it, I cant find a proper place/angle.)
So if anyone is using a big screen tablet, could someone show their setup?
Thanks!
I am looking at a Wacom One 14 (2025) for my girlfriend as a birthday gift. She draws quite frequently and wants to be able to translate it onto a laptop or a desktop easily.
I heard Wacom is a really good brand, the movink and cintaq are a bit out of my budget. Just curious as to what the strong suits of the one versus the other two are, and maybe other brands as well. As a person who doesn’t draw, versus her who went to art school, do not understand how much the nib can affect a stroke, or color accuracy etc.
Edit:: thanks for all the help! I believe I’m actually going to get her a movink 11 or 13 after saving a bit more!
