Connect my tablet

Connect my tablet is doing exactly that: It connects your Wacom (TM) tablet to your Mac and restores at least its critical functionality to be creative with Photoshop (TM) and other programmes in Tahoe, Sequoia, Sonoma, Ventura, Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, HighSierra (newest Connect my tablet version) & Sierra and El Capitan (App Store will download automatically for you the last compatible version 4.1 upon purchase). 

For many models and macOS versions, the Wacom preference pane, and therefore most previous functionality, will be working again. 

For others, Connect my tablet provides a tool to let you change the most important pen and tablet settings. Connect my tablet also allows the change of settings of the tablet buttons for Cintiq (21 upwards) and Intuos3 tablet users. In addition, we have an additional, free tool (CMT Utility) for Bamboo CTH users on the App Store that allows them to change their tablet button settings.

Also, for the oldest tablets, the Utility programme from Wacom is no longer supported in the latest macOS versions. It was mainly useful to create backups of the preference settings. Our additional utility tool (see above) allows you to save and restore them (for Bamboo CTH users and some Graphire and Intuos tablets).

As you might have to install and de-install tablet drivers, you will have to have full admin rights on your computer.

Currently Connect my tablet supports and is tested on:

Bamboo: including CTH-460/461/470/661/670, CTL 460/470, MTE-450, CTE-440/450/650 , CTF-430

Intuos: including USB GD and XD series (0 and 2 series); Intuos3 PTZ-430/431/630/631/930/1231W; CTH-series; Intuos4 PTK-440/640/840/540WL/1240, all other Intuos CTL (e.g. 4100), Intuos5 and Pro tablets (e.g. PTH tablets)

Graphire: 2 (ET series),3 (Sapphire, CTE-430/630) and 4 (CTE-440/640) series

Cintiq: including 12WX, 18SX, 20WSX, 21UX, 21UX2, 13HD, 22HD, 24HD, 27QHD, DTU-2231, Cintiq 16 & 22 and others

But it works for many more Wacom tablets (like One by Wacom) and you can always ask us at [email protected]. Actually, the only tablets that we do not support are the ones still supported by Wacom: the new Wacom One series, latest Wacom Cintiq Pro models DTH 167, 172, 227, 271 and Intuos Pro PTK-470, 670 & 870, Wacom Movink & Signature Display models and very old serial connected tablets.

Current setting options for those tablets that not only need reconnection (and then their preference pane works again) but also require settings to be changed via Connect my tablet:

• Tablet/ Stylus connected

• One group of settings for all applications (although with different backups you can be application specific)

• Pen Pressure Sensitivity selectable

• Pen Buttons programmable (keystrokes, modifiers, clicks)

• Eraser programmable

• Double click assistance can be switched off/on

• Definition of the active tablet area

• Definition of the active monitor (currently for up to 3 monitors)

• Definition of the pen/stylus to switch to mouse mode from pen mode

• Change of tablet landscape orientations or to portrait mode (some tablets)

• Pan (Pan/Scroll) mode for pen buttons (for most tablets)

• Definition of tablet buttons (Intuos3, Cintiq 21UX upwards via the reactivated preference pane, Bamboo CTH via an additional tool)

• Functionality to disable pen buttons via Settings Menu and to assign 'Click'
