Wacom introduced its Intuos Pro lineup back in 2013 and kept it largely the same since then. That makes sense, since it’s, pretty much, remained among the best drawing tablets in the category. This year, though, they’re giving the Wacom Intuos Pro a major redesign that should make it even better than ever.
To the unfamiliar, the Intuos Pro is the outfit’s flagship line of pen tablets aimed at creative professionals – the kind of people who use those calibrated monitors optimized for graphics work. According to the outfit, this update redesigns the line both inside and out, with a new chip, a new digitizer, and an all-new layout that promises to deliver an intuitive creative experience like never before.
The Wacom Intuos Pro comes in three sizes, just like the previous generation. For this iteration, though, each model actually has smaller dimensions than its equivalent size from the last gen, so it’s overall more compact. The size differences aren’t insignificant, either. For instance, the previous medium-size pen tablet is 1.7-inch wider than the 2025 model, while also being around a tenth of an inch thicker. Suffice to say, the new line should squeeze into crowded desks a lot easier, while being more comfortable to hold for handheld use.
While the previous version put physical controls on the left side, the new model places them at the top of the tablet, which is the main reason why they were able to to cut the total width of the new tablets. The small one gets a single dial and a five-way button pad called ExpressKeys, all of which can be customized to provide tactile controls for whatever functions you need at any time. Both the medium and large versions get two sets each of the controls, so you can put more functions within easy reach.
The Wacom Intuos Pro comes with the outfit’s Pro Pen 3, a stylus that, the outfit claims, will deliver “the most sensitive, accurate, and natural pen performance.” It comes with 8,192 pressure levels, tilt support, and lag-free tracking, along with three programmable buttons readily accessible right on the body, so you can put essential pen commands at your fingertips. You can also adjust the pen’s grip (slim, straight, or flare), nib types (it comes with 10 swappable nibs), and weight, allowing you to tailor the way it handles to your exact liking. The pen is battery-free, too, so you can use it with no need to regularly plug in to charge.
The pen tablet comes with Bluetooth onboard, so you can connect wirelessly to any Windows or MacOS machine (Linux support will come later), complete with the option to connect with up to two computers over a wireless connection. Other features include a 16:9 aspect ratio, a rechargeable battery rated at up to 16 hours between charges, and a USB slot, in case you need to hook it up via a wired connection. According to the outfit, you can even connect to one computer via Bluetooth and another via a USB cable, then use a switch on the side to move input from one machine to the other.
The Wacom Intuos Pro is slated for availability in the coming weeks, priced starting at $249.95.
