Wacom Intuos Draw CTL490DW Digital Drawing and Graphics Tablet compatible with Blender?

Question

I need to be sure before buying this Wacom tablet. Is it compatible with Blender for painting, 3D modeling, and blueprinting?

Considering Wacom Tablets are basically mouse/pointing devices, there is literally no reason it wouldn't work. I have a Wacom Tablet myself, and it works excellently for painting, although for 3D modelling, a 3D mouse would probably be more useful.

It is compatible, but it doesn't work very well. See this thread on blender.org.

To be fair, most of those problems can be fixed in the Wacom settings. – MasterHolbytla May 23 '16 at 19:58

I have a Wacom Intuos 4 and it works with Blender just fine, I just don't find it very helpful. It does everything that it's supposed to, but most things are easier with a mouse and keyboard.

...which is just to say that "it doesn't work very well" might mean it's not helpful, rather than that it doesn't function.
