    I went from this:

    To something so much better ten years later and which isn't supported in Catalina:

    Then to this three years ago because of the touch function (what I really regret...the pen is fucking awful):

    So because the last three years were a waste of my time fighting with that thing above because the pen is really shit and it's so heavy in the hand and ending up using a mouse for the first time in almost 20 years I bought this yesterday and I'm so fucking happy:

    The pen has a good weight and feel and the hand movement and flow are very smooth and easy.

    Really happy I must say.
    I wasted three years of my life where instead of improving my skills I just stagnated or went a bit back.

    • can't wait to buy a new iMac (M1) and use my iPad in sidecar mode to compare things.oey_oey
    • By heavy in the hand I mean the flow of the pointer. Evrytime it's near some t ing it's crazy how much strength I need...oey_oey
    • ...to achieve to hit the point I want. Like it would brake and find a wall before objects. Crazy.oey_oey
    • I hope Wacom doesn't cut the support on those Intuos because that would be really shitty.oey_oey
    • Did someone experienced the same?oey_oey
    • I had a white Graphire 4 up until 2 weeks ago, used it everyday pretty much for 15 years. Wacom stopped updating the drivers but I could still get it to work onPhanLo
    • my machine. Eventually got an XP Pen Pro 15.6 tablet. It works really good and was a 3rd of the price of a Wacom equivalent.PhanLo
    • had all these, currently intuos pro, it's good, try checking your settings maybe?

      but once you use an iPad Pro + pencil...      grafician
    • oh and IF Apple would release a simplified iPad 15-16" with just sidecar, no apps, just mirroring your screen + pencil they would destroy Wacom like overnight.grafician
    • Yes, I have a ipad andbits crazy how wacom after all these years doesn't even come close.oey_oey
    • Between an Intuos pro and a XP pen I would choose the second as well PhanLooey_oey
    • I saw a video of a guy that does crazy illustration and he uses the same Intuos as the one I have.oey_oey
    • Thanks grafician but I really good now. Let's see what happensoey_oey
    • Why did my keyboard corrected lets to let's??oey_oey
