The annoying cable

Well, the problem with all these scenarios above is the same thing. It is the USB cable of your Wacom tablet. You are not the only one who has such problem. And lucky for you (and me). You could easily get rid of the cable using the wireless kit.

This is pretty much what the Wacom Wireless Accessory Kit allows you to do. It allows you to use your Wacom tablet wirelessly. Which allows you to get rid of the cable altogether. After you have used the Wireless Kit for a while, you won’t want to work using the cable ever again^^

In my case, the wireless kit came along with the Large Intuos pro. The one I got the tablet few months ago. And so far, I have been very happy with the wireless kit. And I always used it with my tablet.

Even though I am using the largest Intuos Pro. I was able to get many hours of working using the kit. If you own a smaller Wacom tablet, there is a good chance you will get even longer battery life than that.

Installation

Wacom Wireless Accessory Kit consists of 3 pieces:-

• USB Dongle.
• A battery.
• A transmitter.

Installation of the wireless kit is fairly easy. The installation method depends on your tablet model. In case of the Intuos pro, you open a small compartment in the tablet. Then you place the transmitter & the battery inside. And then you plug the USB dongle into the USB port of your PC or Mac.

Here is the official video that illustrates that:-

You can still use the USB cable too

Wacom Wireless Accessory Kit adds a power button to your tablet. Pressing the button will turn on the tablet. And then the tablet will act as if it was plugged. And when the tablet is turned off, it will appear as unplugged in your computer.

After installing the wireless kit into your tablet, the battery of the kit can be charged via the USB cable. A good thing about the kit is that you could still use the kit while the battery is charged via the USB cable

Battery Life

According to Wacom, the wireless kit provides up to 15-hour battery life. The real battery life you will get depends on your tablet size. The case of my Large Intuos Pro, I was able to get many hours of drawing with it. I never really calculated it, but it was very good for me. Considering that my tablet is quire large. There is a chance you will get more battery life than that with the other tablet models.

Charging Time

Wacom Wireless Accessory Kit takes about 3.5 hours to charge %85 of the battery. And less than 6 hours for %100. In case you couldn’t charge it up to %100, then updating your tablet driver is likely to solve this problem.

USB Cable Replacement

The wireless kit can be a great option in case you need a longer cable. While you could buy a longer USB cable from Wacom, adding a few bucks can save you from having to deal with cables altogether.

Possible issues

There is a chance you may face any of the following problems with the wireless kit. The good news is, updating the driver of your Wacom tablet can solve many of these problems. These possible problems are:-

• The cursor goes awry, and start moving randomly.
• The battery is never fully charged.
