What reviewers say

Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.

Wacom Intuos Pro Medium (2025)

Across 3 testing outlets (PhotoshopCAFE, GIGAZINE, Creative Bloq), the 2025 Wacom Intuos Pro Medium earns a broadly positive verdict, praised chiefly for its new slim, tapered design and the Pro Pen 3's precise, low-latency pressure sensitivity (8,192 levels, up to 16 hours battery). The recurring complaint is the relocated ExpressKey layout, which multiple reviewers found awkward or cramped to reach. GIGAZINE also noted the underlying software/driver experience feels largely unchanged from prior models. (3 sourced reviews, 3 lab-tested.)

Praised: Thinner, tapered, more comfortable design than previous Intuos Pro models; Pro Pen 3 offers precise, near-latency-free pressure performance and smooth tracking.

Flagged: Relocated/top-mounted ExpressKeys feel awkward, cramped, or require relearning; Software/driver experience not meaningfully improved over prior generation.
