Personal experience

One by Wacom turned out to have more surprising features than expected. It has a super lightweight body, making it easy to carry while travelling. We initially assumed that the simple design and easy setup did not leave much to the imagination. How wrong were we! One by Wacom is the perfect graphic design tablet for beginners and anyone looking for iPad alternatives. This pen tablet can help you gain confidence while creating digital art and help you get enough practice in the digital medium.

Highly affordable and easy to use, Wacom’s ‘One by’ pen tablet can be utilised for note-making, editing photos, and sketching designs. This stylus can be your first practice digital pen, and the One by tablet can be your entrance into the world of digital art. Some cool features that we discovered in One by Wacom’s pen tablet are:

The pen can act as a mouse. Hover the pen over the tablet over a close range of a centimetre, and your mouse icon will hover all over your screen, zoom or undo. You can also use the screen keyboard to type anywhere.
The two buttons on the stylus or pen can have two different functions you can select and change from the software. They can perform a variety of functions.
You can also adjust the active area, the maximum tablet area in use.
The tablet’s portrayal of the device screen can be changed according to the orientation of your work, horizontal, vertical, and a few more settings.
You can write your name in a small blank space at the back of this pen tablet. It has a pen holder on its side as well.
