Manually Installing Wacom Bamboo Drivers: A Personal Experience

As someone who relies heavily on their graphics tablet to create art, I was worried when my Wacom Intuos 5 Touch started showing its age. The older drivers that came with it used radial menu technology, which I knew was no longer supported by the company. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and manually install the latest Wacom Bamboo drivers.

I packed up my trusty Alienware Aurora 4 and my Intuos 5 Touch, along with a few other essential items, and headed out of state to help care for my sister who was ill. During this time, I had the opportunity to research and experiment with installing the new drivers on my own.

After scouring Wacom's website for legacy drivers, I was surprised to find that they only offered updates for their Cintiq, Intuos Pro, and Intuos (formerly known as Bamboo) products. My older Alienware Area 51 and Cintiq were still safely tucked away in Georgia, but my Intuos 5 Touch and Alienware Aurora 4 were with me in Mississippi.

Despite the challenge, I was determined to get my hands on the latest drivers for my Intuos 5 Touch. With a bit of perseverance and some online research, I managed to successfully install the new Wacom Bamboo drivers. The process wasn't without its hiccups, but the end result was well worth it – my tablet is now running smoothly with the latest features and functionality.

If you're like me and are looking for a way to breathe new life into your older Wacom graphics tablet, I hope this personal experience has inspired you to take the plunge and manually install the latest drivers. It may not be an easy task, but the rewards are well worth the effort.
