New drivers are available at Wacom Support. I opened my Wacom Tablet Preference File Utility and restored my settings.I downloaded the latest driver from Wacom.I completely uninstalled the current Wacom Driver.If you are using a Cintiq, you only need to disconnect the tablet part, which is usually connected via a USB port on your computer. I disconnected my Wacom Tablet from the computer.You can do the same with the Wacom Desktop Center I opened my Wacom Tablet Preference File Utility (it is similarly named for Macs, but it isn’t exactly the same name), and backed up my settings.OK, this is how I updated my driver and I think it is a good method. As many of you tell me, if your product is working fine, then you probably do not need to update to the latest driver. This is pure speculation on my part, but I think if your product doesn’t support touch, then the newer drivers will give you problems. I prefer it to the older drivers because I use the On-Screen Controls with the Cintiq, and I wanted to use a similar format with the Intuos 5 Touch.īefore I go any further…if I had an Intuos 5 or earlier version without “Touch,” I would not have used the newer driver. Of course I worried, but I decided to go ahead and give it a try. I wanted to update my Intuos 5 Touch because the older drivers for an Intuos 5 still use the radial menu technology and not the newer On-Screen Controls. My Cintiq and Alienware Area 51 are still in Georgia. I brought my older Alienware Aurora 4 and my Intuos 5 Touch with me. I looked where Wacom keeps its legacy driversfor the older products and I didn’t see any new drivers.īut, I am currently in Mississippi because my sister is ill and I am helping with her care. iPad Pro (or maybe a regular iPad) to get a 3rd monitor.Wacom released new drivers for its Cintiq, Intuos Pro, and Intuos (new name for Bamboo) products. You CAN use Sidecar in the Mac mini settings to connect to an 2021 12 in. I tried a dual monitor and tablet setup and it didn't work. REMEMBER, the Mac mini ONLY supports 2 monitors- so that means your tablet and one more monitor. You may need to restart your Mac mini a few times, or do other things like maybe unplug and plug back in the USB cable on the left side of the tablet once for those messages to keep coming up so you can allow them. You will have to unlock the lock in your settings. For each message that pops up, open up your preferences in your Mac mini settings, and allow what the messages say. Only the top left of the tablet will give the tablet 4K. To get 4K out of the tablet, use the Wacom USB to USB cable that comes with the tablet and plug one end into the top left of the tablet, and the other end into either of the Mac mini Thunderbolt ports. Plug the power cord into the right side of the tablet. I have the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 in and the 2020 M1 Mac mini running Big Sur. For drawing with iPad as a drawing monitor for Mac, I recommend Luna Display/Astropad. Sidecar is also more fast than under Intel, but the difference isn't as pronounced as is with Luna, and the Pencil pressure is still very wrong anyway Luna/Astropad is much faster and better, both in Intel or M1. Now I can use it with Retina resolution at 60fps. Luna Display/Astropad Standard is also much snappier than before. The only software which don't work correctly is Paintstorm Studio, the entire UI is full of glitches Realistic Paint Studio (the other app from the same creator of Paintstorm Studio) works ok. All apps seems fast as Procreate on iPad. And almost all apps are running under Rosetta 2.
I come from a Mini 2018, but the difference seems more than "only 2 years CPU difference", much much more. Clip Studio Paint (it's M1 native) it's like a ricochet, it starts almost instantly. Even drawing on iPad apps with my Intuos Pro (Infinite Painter, it's updated to work with M1 Mac).Įverything it's pretty snappier, specially Corel Painter 2021 (which on Intel is slow when you have some amount of layers) and Artrage 6 (which have slowdowns in tasks like creating or reordering layers). I had to remove it and install again on Privacy settings, but it worked.Įverything seems OK. As OP described, the current Wacom Driver work.
