The One by Wacom is a budget-friendly drawing tablet that allows you to create digital art. It is a simple pen tablet that does not have any standalone features, which means that I cannot work without being connected to a laptop.

As a digital artist, the tablet provides you with a quick, reliable, and efficient stylus as well as an exceptional drawing surface.

So, in this article, I’ll be showing you how to set up, install, and connect your One-by-Wacom tablet to your laptop so that you can begin to use it to draw all the art you could want. I’ll also be explaining the importance of the drivers, what they do, and where you can install them from.

How to Connect Your One by Wacom to a Laptop

Connecting your One by Wacom pen tablet to your laptop is a straightforward process; some laptops simply require you to plug and draw. However, drivers for some other laptops must be downloaded from Wacom’s website. 

To install the drivers, connect your tablet to your computer and then download the drivers from Wacom’s official website, selecting either the Windows or Mac option depending on the type of laptop you have, but making sure it is still connected to your computer.

Even if your laptop recognises the Wacom drawing tablet, it is recommended that you install all of the drivers because some of the extra features and setting options can be found in the drivers. Once the drivers are installed, the tablet can be used with a variety of art and design software, including Kami and Photoshop.

When the installation process is complete, you will be prompted to restart your laptop. After that, the One by Wacom app will launch and prompt you to configure and register your device.
