I'm considering a Wacom Intuos Pro to use with my Mac Studio, mainly for use with 3D design software, and maybe FCP.
Just wondering if anyone has one already, and what you think of it?
Any issues etc?
 
I've been using them for many years and consider it indispensable for creative work. They usually take a bit of time to get proficient so don't be discouraged if you aren't painting the Mona Lisa on day 1. The one feature they haven't solved is scrolling so I have a trackpad on the other side of the keyboard to cover that. For 3d software I usually switch to a mouse, but should look into using the tablet for that.

Thanks - I intend to keep using my mouse trackpad combo for normal everyday use - I just wanted to use the drawing pad for 3D software, so like a 3D Pad/Trackpad combo, which I think would work well for what I need......
 
Personally I do not like the new style Intuos Pro, the dials at the top are in a awkward position as you are reaching over or interrupting what you are doing if you wanted to use them

Xancelabs do a decent tablet and you can either buy it with a quick keys addition or without. The advantage of that is you can place it wherever you like.
