monitor to HD resolution to match the tablet. There are a few challenges we faced working with the Wacom One, especially after spending years with our venerable Intuos 3. First, the pen offers only a single button for control, rather than the two-way rocker on the Intuos. And it's designed so you need to press the uppermost half, making one hold the pen a bit higher than may be comfortable. The single-button aspect is a more of a constraint because there are no Express Keys on the tablet itself to serve as keyboard-modifiers while clicking and dragging. The Wacom On-Screen Control display can be called up with the pen button, letting you access a large selection of application-specific shortcuts with a button click. So when you're using the One, you will probably still need to keep a keyboard at hand for some of your favorite apps. Another option is Wacom's $99 Express Key Remote accessory that will add those modifiers and far more. It's hard to imagine almost any sort of display tablet priced as an entry level device, but that's what the Wacom One has to offer. The user experience is close to the Cintiq and is ideal for artists who can't quite come to grips with drawing on one surface and viewing the results on another. And best of all, it's a Wacom. Just below the surface lies over 35 years of technological innovation that you'll never even think about. It just works well and feels right. That's the Wacom way of doing things.
