Wacom CTH 470 touch capabilities not working on High Sierra & Mojave: This Fix Worked for Me

I have three WACOM CTH 470's with the wireless module and battery installed in each. For months now I have had troubles with the touch capability of the tablets not working and across High Sierra and now Mojave and on multiple computers like a 2013 iMac and a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro.

I started with installing the driver 5.3.7-6 and I added PenTabletDriver.app, ConsumerTouchDriver.app, and TabletDriver.app to the Accessibility group in the security/privacy page of system preferences.

After all of this, I still had no joy when trying to use the touch capability of the tablet.

In an AhHAAA moment, I removed the wireless module, and just the wireless module (not the battery) from the tablet while it was plugged into my iMac. The touch functionality returned to the tablet and I was even able to reinstall the wireless module to the tablet. Full touch capabilities restored.

I hope that this helps someone.

Thanks!!!

Having the same problem... but i'm plugged usb via.

When you upgrade to X o Y Mac OS, sometimes the drivers doesn't works at 100%.

We have to wait 😟
