With the dimensions of 8.3″ x 7.0″ x 0.4″ and a price tag of $99, the Wacom Intuos Manga represents a renewed push into the consumer digital artist space. Does it live up to the hype? What can you expect from a tablet that sells for under $100? I put the Intuos Manga to the test and my results with it will surprise you. I’ve been using Wacom products for over 15 years now and have never had a single complaint with them. Their products are incredibly well built and, with care, can last a very long time. Over the years, I have upgraded my Wacom tablet whenever a new model has been released. So when I was given the chance to review the Intuos Manga line, I jumped at the chance. I was curious to know how their consumer tablet compared to the professional Intuos models I’ve used in the past. Historically, the Intuos line has always been marketed towards design professionals. With the Intuos Manga (formerly marketed as the Bamboo line), Wacom has consolidated their professional and consumer tablets under one brand moniker. Because there are so many commands, it is usually easier to find the Group first, and then find the command. You can view the Groups from the Keyboard Shortcuts menu, and expand or collapse them all at once, or individually. The Intuos Manga, which weighs less than a standard paperback book, comes with Mac and Windows drivers and connects via USB or wireless (for an additional $40). The shortcuts in ArtRage are organised into Groups. It should be very easy to fix, you just need to adjust a couple of settings until it stops happening. That, or it's a Wintab/Realtime Stylus conflict. #Wacom shortcuts not working in artrage 5 drivers It looks like the Windows 'press and hold to right click' feature might be causing problems. The Intuos Manga handles up to 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity, which is half the value of the professional Intuos line. The device also comes with built-in multi-touch capabilities, allowing the the Intuos Manga to serve as a trackpad for touch input. It is designed for both left and right hand use. Wacom does an expert job with their packaging. In the past, I’ve compared the unboxing experience to that of unboxing an Apple product. That comparison still holds true with the Intuos Manga. Upon opening the box, you are greeted with the Intuos Manga tablet (bundled inside a mesh fabric) and the stylus. Upon removing the tablet, you’ll find a driver disc, instruction pamphlet and USB cord. The packaging is very similar to the Intuos5 Medium model. The tablet itself has four built-in express keys (located in the black trim area) for common keyboard modifier keys (Shift, Command, Option, Control).
