Review: Great tablet for beginners, graphic designers, and game developers! - Note: desertcart likes to link reviews together when there are a variety of tablets to choose from. This review is for the CTL480! The Wacom Intuos Pen Small Tablet (CTL480) is a great tablet to get started with. As a graphic designing and game developer, I've always used a mouse and it's tricky to get nice smooth lines and a natural feel when drawing/sketching. When I picked up this tablet, it was like night and day, compared to the mouse. It feels so much more comfortable and natural, exactly like drawing with pen and paper. Let's jump into the details of this tablet a little bit. The Tablet ---------------- • Tablet overall size: 8.25" width X 7" height X 0.38" thick (Measurements were made myself) • Tablet active drawing area: 6" width X 3.5" height (Measurements were made myself) • Tablet has 4 "ExpressKeys" which are key shortcuts that can be used to simulate a keyboard key press, application switcher, mouse clicks, and more. The Pen ------------- • Pen has 2 buttons near the bottom which is similar to the tablet's "ExpressKeys" and can be set to whatever shortcut you wish. • Supports up to pressure level of 1024 (tip pressures can be set in control panel to prevent wearing of the nibs too quickly). • Pen does NOT have an eraser. • Battery free, no need to charge/recharge or worry about expiring/dying batteries. • Pen feels a little thicker than a traditional #2 pencil, but not quire as large as a mechanical ink pen. Box Contents -------------- • Tablet and pen • USB cord (relatively short. Can get a longer cord/USB extender/their wireless kit accessory). I couldn't use it in my keyboard's USB ports either). • Drivers on a CD (I just used the website's drivers without issues on Win 7 64-bit). • Extra Rings: 2 colored rings and pen holder (blue and black). • Replacement Nibs: Located on the tablet's backside, attached to the underside of the removable door. • Software: Codes for Autodesk Sketchbook Express and ArtRage Studio. Tips ----------- • Multi-Desktop Monitors - You can restrict which monitor the tablet will work on so you don't have to scroll across multiple screens with your tablet. This also utilizes less wasted space on your active tablet area. • Tablet Area - You can also restrict how much of your active tablet area will be used to cover your entire screen - in other words, if you don't want to move your hand across the entire tablet just to reach the edge of the screen, you can restrict the active tablet area to a smaller margin for quicker movement. • Set program-specific functions and ExpressKey shortcuts - If you want the buttons on your tablet to do one thing in Photoshop, but another thing in GIMP, you can set that individually. • This tablet is NOT a touch tablet - meaning you cannot use your fingers on the tablet like a laptop's touchpad. The CTH 480 offers this. Other Thoughts --------------- • I am one to read reviews of everything I buy to the point I start having nightmares about them. After doing extensive research, I went with this brand and tablet size and do not regret it. I was looking at cheaper options that desertcart sells, however, for the price and features, this does the perfect job. I also don't have to worry about changing/buying batteries for the pen. • I was skeptical when reviews said that it felt like drawing on paper with the tablet. Strangely enough, this is true. If you're an artist who draws with traditional pen and paper, it shouldn't take you long to get used to the digital style of doing so with this tablet. • Shaky Lines - I've not had this issue personally. I've noticed a few other reviews had this issue, but I'm not sure why that's happening. I don't have the most steady hands in the world, but I don't have that issue. • You can use this tablet outside of graphic design software. It can essentially be a replacement to your mouse (after a little configuration) and be to browse the internet, emails, and 3D applications. Final Thoughts --------------- • Do I recommend it? Absolutely. I highly recommend it to those who are just starting out or are new to tablets. It has enough features to get you used to the feel of a tablet without breaking the bank. While it may be great for advanced tablet users as well, I feel they may benefit more with a larger size, depending on their projects and preferences. However, that does not mean the active tablet area on the CTL480 is too small to work with for beginners. Give this tablet a try. I can't believe I lasted this long without one!
Review: PC Gamer Gives This Tablet a Thumbs UP - I ordered next-day AIR. It took 3 days to get to me. Not to mention it was delivered around 8PM @ night. desertcart messed up and ended up ordering two of these for me. All-in all the buying experience was horrid, BUT; the tablet is amazing. I didn't really buy it for the art aspect, I bought it to use as a new mouse. In my experience, it was a bit difficult to adapt to at first, I ended up unplugging my mouse so I had no choice but to use the tablet. After an hour of using it I was able to move fluidly around my screen and make precise clicks and other actions. I am a PC gamer and this tablet takes the cake as the BEST tool for gaming. You can change the ratio of tablet area you use this way you move less on the tablet for more on the screen. Best of all, you don't have to worry about a wireless mouse dying or even a wired gaming mouse getting hairs or dust in the red-eye. I rate this product 5 stars on this basis. Easy to adapt to. After an hour I was able to use the pen as accurately as my mouse and now I am better with the pen than the mouse itself. Cost efficient in the sense that you get what you pay for. You are paying for a tablet that acts as a mouse and allows you to control art programs brushes with the pen. It really is the most impressive form of virtual to realistic painting I have seen. Exercises the whole wrist, I myself have carpel tunnel and I haven't had any painful experiences with this, yet. Very accurate; the tablet's pen acts as your cursor, but it also maintains direct relation from tablet area to screen area. About the same size as a regular mouse pad, so it doesn't take up more space. Very fast. It's response time is very quick, not much delay at all(I believe the delay was 0.003 Seconds) Hover or Sketch. The pen works even when it's not touching the tablets surface directly as well as when it is. You do not need to press down on the tablet surface with a lot of pressure either. I like to just let the pen flow on the surface to reduce scratches and pressure sensitive areas. Those are the main things I would like the point out. The only downside I can point out is that when you are setting up the aspect ratio for the tablet, you cannot place the area where you want it exactly. It auto-snaps and there is no way to turn it off as far as I know. This isn't a huge deal, but if you want to use only a small portion of the tablet, you're going to have to put that area into the center of the tablet, and it's still close to using the whole thing. There are many, many, many more amazing features this product offers. I could not possibly explain them all. If you have ever been curious as to what it would be like to replace your mouse with a tablet for gaming or casual computer use or even for visual design, I would strongly recommend this one or any of Wacom's other pen and touch tablets.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Did your tablet arrive with the extra nibs? I didn't see any packed in the box when I opened it. Am I missing something obvious? Where would they be?**
A: From memory....There is a plastic panel on the back of the tablet.  When you remove that panel, flip it. 3 nibs are attached to it!  They blend in with the plastic and you may not realize that they can pop off.  They look moulded on.

**Q: Does the resting part of your drawing hand ever get miscounted as a touch command?**
A: I have not had that issue before. It seems as long as the tip is within an inch or two above the drawing surface the tablet knows to ignore the touch that the resting hand would produce. If such an issue did arise there is a switch on the tablet near the top right corner that turns off the touch sensitivity entirely.

**Q: Can I place a paper sketch onto the tablet and trace it to the computer screen. In other words, will the paper sketch block the pickup of the pin?**
A: The answer is you can put a sketch paper on the tablet and draw it will trace it on the computer screen. In fact, i just tried it now. Just make sure to stay in the same area that you are drawing in don't zoom out since the place you placed the sketch is where the tablet appeared it on screen if you zoom out you won't be able to trace in the same area, and for this technique you are using , i really advice you to get a large tablet , i have a small one so the sketch doesn't fit on the whole tablet. But if it was a big one i'm sure the paper would be able to fit. :)

**Q: does it work with mac?**
A: I'm sure it will work with a Mac, suggest you confirm with Wacom

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This tablet is fantastic (with answers to the 1-star reviews)
*by D***E on January 31, 2014*

When you read the 1-star reviews it's obviously user error in most cases - or people who just aren't familiar with the awkward getting-used-to-it phase of a first time tablet user. Yes, a tablet feels awkward at first, you have to learn to get the feel for it. But it doesn't take more than a few days. Then you'll never go back to a clunky old mouse. To answer some of the specifics people have complained about: 1. It didn't ship with the extra nibs they promised me! • Yes it did. They are in a little hidden compartment on the back of the tablet. 2. It has a rough, gritty surface texture! • Have you ever used a slick tablet? Your hand sticks to it. The rough texture not only adds a wonderfully realistic friction to the feel of your pen (like drawing paper), but it prevents your greasy, nasty damp hand from sticking to the tablet. 3. It feels light and cheap and the pen is too skinny! • It feels NICE and light to me. Like a carbon fiber bike, stiff, light and tight. The pen is on the skinny side, but I don't mind. Feels like a real pen to me. Not clunky. But if you like clunky, you can always get a pack of those foamy pencil grips, cut out a slot for the button (or don't use the buttons at all, like me) and you'll be so stoked. 4. The driver didn't work and there are no drivers available anywhere on planet earth!! • Well you're right about that crappy driver CD that shipped with the tablet. It failed for me too. But you CAN get the drivers for this from the Wacom website. A quick download and it was up and running in a few minutes. It is admittedly hard to find the drivers with Wacom's poor site navigation. However it's easy to find if you google "wacom drivers" in which case it is the top hit: [...] 5. OMG! There's no eraser! • I've been using Wacom tablets for 12+ years - as a professional graphic designer and illustrator, 40+ hours a week. Shoot, that's about 25,000 hours! Anyway, I've never once had the slightest want or urge to use the dumb eraser they put on the back of the pen. If you're a savvy user of your favorite graphics software, you are already switching among MANY tools with your "other" hand via keyboard shortcuts. If you can't add "E" for eraser to your repertoire, that's on you. I'm personally glad there's one less useless feature on this pen. Now it can be even lighter! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Happy "Mousing"
