Experience complete control over your device – the ACUS M2 was developed specifically for artists who value reliability and maximum flexibility. The lightweight pen impresses with its consistent performance, long battery life, and perfect balance for relaxed working, even during long sessions.
Inside, a powerful, German-made Faulhaber brushless motor (2214 BXT) with stepless voltage control ensures that the M2 delivers consistent results when drawing lines, shading, and coloring. The ergonomic design ensures high comfort and precise work – even with demanding details or longer use.
The scope of delivery includes two replaceable 18500 batteries, allowing you to easily switch between them while working without interrupting your workflow. Whether in the studio or on the road at trade shows, the ACUS M2 offers professional performance at all times.
Pre-installed are the “Artist Presets” by Ben Ochoa, Oozy, Thomas Vincent, and the impressive Natasha Animal are pre-installed – try them out and see if their settings take your style to the next level. You can also save up to three of your own presets.
Discover the versatile torque modes: with just two clicks, you can switch between powerful and gentle motor options – including the special “m_L” line mode for particularly clean and precise lines.
