I have a small wacom tablet that uses a USB cable. Can I make it wireless? And if so is there a latency problem?

I have the Watcom Intuos (small) and there is a provision to add a wireless module on it. I think all of the curernt tables have this provision but don't know for sure. The Pro models come with the module and Watcom sells the module for $40 to add to other tablets.
I don't have the wireless module so I don't know for sure about a latency problem but I would think that it would have to be quiet small or the tablet would not be very useful.

Not sure it works on all the Wacom tablets, but here's a wireless kit that you maybe able to use.

I bought a new tablet several years ago with the wireless package. Could not get it to work. Contacted Wacom, returned unit for replacement. Still had problems with it. Googled it and found that many had the same problems. Finally gave up. You might want to Google again and see if anything has changed. Love tablet but only when it is plugged in, Sure wish it was wireless, however.

Do you have to be so long winded and just get to the point?

I have had the same issues with my Wacom intuos pro. I love the tablet. It sticks in wireless mode. It worked for about a month after getting a new one from Wacom.
