Wacom Intuos Pro Medium (2025) vs Xencelabs Pen Tablet Medium
Short answer
Get the Xencelabs for two pens and a labeled remote in the box. Get the Intuos Pro if you want keys on the tablet, the thinnest build and Wacom's ecosystem.

Where the Xencelabs wins
- Two pens. A standard and a thin pen, both with erasers. The Intuos Pro has one pen.
- The remote. Quick Keys with OLED labels, so you can see what each key does. The Intuos Pro has no remote.
- Battery. 16 hours claimed. Creative Bloq saw closer to 12 on the Intuos Pro.
- Linux support. Xencelabs lists tested Linux platforms. Wacom lists Windows and macOS.
Where the Intuos Pro wins
- Keys on the tablet. 10 keys and 2 dials. The Xencelabs tablet has none.
- Thin and light. 411 grams and as thin as 4 mm, versus 711 grams and 8 mm.
- The pen. Pro Pen 3 lets you swap grips, weights and buttons.
- Direct Bluetooth. No dongle needed.
Where they're the same
Drawing space is a tie at about 387 to 389 square centimeters. Both pens have 8,192 levels and 60° tilt, need no battery, and got top marks from Creative Bloq: 9/10 for the Intuos Pro and 10/10 for the Xencelabs Bundle.
My pick
I'd buy the Xencelabs. You get more in the box and a remote that's easier to use. The Intuos Pro makes sense if you move between studios that use Wacom, or you want the thinnest tablet to carry.
