Wacom Intuos Small Bluetooth Graphics Tablet with Pen
Product description
What’s included: the compact Intuos Small tablet, a battery-free EMR pen with spare nibs, a USB-A cable for charging and wired use, and registration access to Wacom’s software bundle and online training.
Construction and dimensions: the unit is a slim, lightweight tablet built from durable plastics with gently tapered edges for comfortable wrist placement. The active surface is sized for small-format drawing and everyday productivity tasks, making it easy to carry or store when desk space is limited.
How it works: the pen uses electromagnetic resonance (EMR) technology so it needs no battery and provides pressure sensitivity for brush strokes and edits. Connect via Bluetooth for a cable-free setup or plug in the supplied USB-A cable to use it as a wired peripheral and to recharge the internal battery. It supports macOS, Windows, Chrome OS and selected Android devices; compatible Chromebooks meet Google’s compatibility standards. Installation requires Wacom’s driver/application for full customization and access to bundled creative apps and tutorials.

Perfect size for tight desks
I rarely use Bluetooth and leave it plugged in, but it’s handy to have the option. The drawing surface feels natural, it fits my small desk and stores away easily. Very pleased with it.

Solid tablet, Bluetooth battery could last longer
I like the pen and the overall feel—the stylus being battery-free is a major plus. The tablet performs well wired, but the Bluetooth battery drains faster than I expected, so I usually keep the cord handy.

Great little tablet, very portable
I’m thrilled with this tablet. Setup was straightforward—install the Wacom driver and it connected. It pairs over Bluetooth and also works via USB-OTG with my newer Android devices. The build feels sturdy and the angled edges are comfortable for long drawing sessions. My only gripe: Bluetooth can introduce noticeable lag, so I often prefer the wired connection for detailed work.

Works great with PC; Android has limits
Installation was straightforward and it performs flawlessly with Windows 11 and Photoshop. I also used it with a Samsung S26 Ultra, but pen pressure wasn’t available there due to lack of an Android driver.

Compact, practical choice for designers
This small tablet suits tight workspaces and can connect by USB-A or Bluetooth. If your computer lacks USB-A, inexpensive adapters work fine. Wacom’s long-standing reputation in the industry held true for this model.

Does the job, software quirks persist
After years using Wacom, this performs like previous models. Setup and settings are familiar, but the companion app and drivers can be finicky—sometimes the tablet isn’t immediately recognized and a relaunch of the software fixes it.

Very good, but setup help needed
Excellent device, though I had to watch a YouTube tutorial to learn setup—non-English speakers might struggle without a guide.

One week in — very positive
Arrived well packed and in perfect condition. The finish looks premium and the lack of a constant cable is very convenient. Bluetooth operation matched wired performance for me, the pen needs no battery, and it ships with three extra nibs inside the pen. Driver installation was easy. Battery life has been good—during this week I charged only once despite several multi-hour drawing sessions.

Reliable overall, mixed wireless latency
As a long-time Wacom user, I bought the wireless version for travel. It worked well on my Windows laptop with drivers installed; Bluetooth shows only a tiny delay there. On my M1 MacBook Pro the lag was more noticeable and distracting, so wired mode was preferable for precision work.
