12.02.2025
Wacom unveils the latest Intuos Pro series, offering enhanced pen pressure sensitivity, customizable buttons, and Bluetooth connectivity for creative professionals.

Wacom has launched its new Intuos Pro series, available in Small, Medium, and Large sizes. These tablets are designed to cater to the diverse needs of creative professionals, offering a range of features aimed at enhancing the user experience.

Enhanced Pen Pressure Sensitivity

One of the standout features of the new Intuos Pro tablets is the improved pen pressure sensitivity. This enhancement allows for more precise control, enabling artists to achieve finer details in their work. The increased sensitivity ensures that even the lightest strokes are accurately captured, providing a more natural drawing experience.

Customizable ExpressKeys and Touch Ring

The Intuos Pro series comes equipped with customizable ExpressKeys and a Touch Ring. These features allow users to set up shortcuts for their most-used functions, streamlining the workflow and increasing efficiency. The ability to personalize these buttons means that artists can tailor the tablet to their specific needs, reducing the reliance on keyboard shortcuts and enhancing productivity.

Bluetooth Connectivity

In addition to the wired USB connection, the new Intuos Pro tablets offer Bluetooth connectivity. This wireless feature provides greater flexibility, allowing users to connect the tablet to their devices without the clutter of cables. The Bluetooth functionality ensures a stable connection, enabling artists to work comfortably in various environments.

Slim and Compact Design

The design of the Intuos Pro series has been refined to be slimmer and more compact. Despite the reduction in size, the active drawing area remains generous, ensuring that artists have ample space to work. The sleek design makes the tablet more portable, allowing creative professionals to carry it easily between different workspaces.

The tablet’s dimensions are 338 x 219 x 8 mm (13.2 x 8.5 x 0.3 inches), and it weighs 700 g (1.54 lbs). This size balances portability with a more expansive drawing area, catering to artists who require more room for their creations.

For those who need an even more extensive workspace, the Large model provides an active area of 311 x 216 mm (12.1 x 8.4 inches). The tablet measures 430 x 287 x 8 mm (16.8 x 11.2 x 0.3 inches) and weighs 1.3 kg (2.86 lbs).

All three models are equipped with the Wacom Pro Pen 2, offering 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, tilt-response, and virtually lag-free tracking. They also feature customizable ExpressKeys™ and a mechanical Dial at the top of the tablet to enhance productivity.

No Multitouch? No Problem.

Unlike some previous models, the new Intuos Pro does not include multitouch functionality—a decision based on Wacom’s experience that most painters rarely use it. Many digital artists rely solely on the pen for precision work, and the removal of multitouch helps prevent accidental gestures while drawing. This ensures a more stable and predictable workflow, particularly for those who prefer a traditional tablet experience without unintended input disruptions.

Pricing and Availability

The new Intuos Pro tablets are available for purchase through Wacom’s official website and authorized retailers. For detailed pricing information, it’s recommended to visit Wacom’s official website for your region. The range goes (for the German store) from 270€ for the Intuos Pro small through 400€ for the Medium up to 550€ for the Intuos Pro Large.

Final Thoughts and Personal Notes

Wacom’s latest Intuos Pro series offers a range of features designed to meet the demands of creative professionals. With enhanced pen pressure sensitivity, customizable controls, and Bluetooth connectivity, these tablets provide a versatile tool for artists. On a personal note, I really appreciate that it is usable for lefties and rightes with the “Double Dials and Buttons”.
