Design and Functionality

Wacom Capture has a 5.8 x 3.6 inches of working area with a resolution of 4000 lpi, as well as an ergonomic case with rubberized legs and a slight slope of the surface.

The surface of the work area simulates the paper, it is slightly rough to the touch and has a distinctive rustling under the pen.

Both tablets work well with OS X (10.5 and higher) and Windows (XP and higher). After connecting to a Mac, the tablets are immediately ready for use, while on Windows you still need to install drivers.

Both tablets have a similar pen. Styluses are medium thick and do not need batteries. They have 2 buttons that can work as the left and right mouse buttons. Styluses have a good pressure sensitivity (1024 levels) but do not work out the slope. The available express keys are configured individually for each of the supported applications, and switching to the left-handed usage is carried out in one click.
