One by Wacom CTL-472/K0-CX Digital Drawing Graphics Pen Tablet (Red & Black) Small (6-inch x 3.5-inch)(15x8cm) | Battery Free Cordless Pen with 2048 Pressure Level

Durable product

What could be more "natural" then writing for interacting with a computer? Or so I thought. Let's just say that it took three full days of figuring-out, configuring, adjustment, cursing, irritation, anger... to get to a stage it to work acceptably (barely). Believe me when I say there is a steep learning curve. Less said about "Windows Ink", the better. It is at best unreliable and useless. It activates itself when you least expect it. But then that is a Windows problem. This is not a replacement for a mouse. You still require it for using a computer. This model was launched in 2017, I did NOT expect that. How may devices available today are launched nine years ago? The tablet and pen are nice and look robust.

I have been using this product for 5 months now to make 2D Animation and it has proved to be really useful. The box it comes in is perfect for long term storage and the tablet itself is really good. The pen is battery free so you do not need to worry about that. They even provide extra nibs. the tablet only took me 1 day to get used to and I find it really easy to use. It is easy to install the driver and after that everything is smooth as butter. If you are having trouble it driver installation/set-up you will find many helpful tutorials on the internet. It is great for beginners and you can do all sorts of things with it. The pen has two customizable buttons which are really handy. The tablet has a light indicator about when it is connected and that is really helpful. I Love It!

Its a must buy for every academician during these lockdown times. I use it mainly on shared online whiteboards for discussing academic related stuffs with my advisors and fellow researchers. I use it on Arch Linux. It is super easy to get it working on Linux. Just plug and play. A very famous opensource driver for wacom tablets will already be installed as a kernal module in most of the recent Linux distros. If not, you can easily install it. There is no noticeable latency. The pressure sensing works great! Pressing harder gives you thicker lines. If you want to do digital art on Linux, use InkScape. If you just want a white board (virtual), use OpenBoard. Both of them are very good. The writing area is quite sufficient. I don't think a larger one would have made much of a difference in overall experience. For most cases, the small one will do the job. For people who never heard heard of this company: Wacom is a Japan based company which makes quality stuff. One of the top companies which makes pen tabs. You can buy it without worrying about the quality.

It is a good product. I am using it for creating youtube videos.

I've been using this product since 2020, and as an online teacher, it's been a perfectly usable teaching tool. It's super comfy and easy to use, plus it's small and a good value for the money. The writing quality on any software is spot on; I personally use OneNote. I always loved this tool, but it broke in 2025, so I guess it lasted five years. Now I need to buy it again, but I'm not happy with the recent quality after using the same product for so long. The material isn't as good, and I'm also bummed about the packaging.

The Wacom CTL-472 is an excellent entry-level graphics tablet, perfect for beginners, students, and digital art enthusiasts. Its compact size fits easily on small desks, while the battery-free pen delivers smooth, precise strokes with natural pressure sensitivity. Drawing, editing photos, and taking digital notes feel effortless and responsive. The simple plug-and-play setup works seamlessly with most design and learning software. Although it lacks shortcut buttons and advanced features, its performance is reliable for daily creative work. Lightweight, durable, and highly accurate, this tablet offers great value for money and is ideal for learning and everyday digital creativity.

慣れれば良いかも

I made good use of this tablet when I used to play the game "osu!". I have since stopped playing, but, throughout, the tablet worked perfectly.

This Wacom is a replacement for a very old Wacom and as expected, it was easy to use and sets the standard for art projects on the computer. The small size suits my art style and is much easier to handle than my older and larger one. If you can’t afford to buy a top of the range tablet, this Wacom tablet is perfectly suitable.

Great!

Definitely works great, but it does wear out over time so you'll notice discolouration and scratches but I can't say it's unexpected. Good product.
