The mouse is decent, but I prefer using the mouse I was using before (and still can with no hassle.) The mouse and pen do feel a little flimsy, I'll admit, but not so much that it would cause a problem. The high LPI picks up deft movements quite well, the pressure sensor is wonderful, and the pen feels quite comfortable in my hand. I thought the blank space would be an issue, but it's really important for comfortability. The workspace seems to be the perfect size, and has blank space all around it. This is the only tablet I've owned, and the only one I've used for an extended period of time, and for my needs it works great. I'll start out by saying that I relatively high expectations for this product when I purchased it, and I have not been let down. If you are also looking for painting or photo editing software, consider the Wacom tablets. If you already own your graphics software, this is a bargain.
On the plus side there are two dozen customizable keys around the edges of the tablet compared to 4 on the Bamboo. You can automatically send handwritten notes to Outlook in Windows but not Mail with Macs. The pad works with Macs, but doesn't have all the functionality that it does with Windows. I do, so didn't want to pay extra for duplicates. If you don't have those programs, especially Elements, the Wacom becomes a bargain. There's also a set of Photoshop filters that are of good quality. Elements is a version old but still an excellent program. The Genius MousePen only has time limited demos.
That's not a big deal for me, but worth noting.įor the extra money the Wacom Bamboo comes with full working copies of Corel Painter and Photoshop Elements. The Genius pen uses a battery, the Wacom doesn't need one. The Wacom Bamboo, doesn't even need a mouse anymore, you can use finger gestures, which are a definite improvement. The pad, itself seems more cheaply made, and the mouse is flimsy. The pen nibs are not quite as smooth to use but work well enough. With over 1000 levels of pressure sensitivity, it's more than good enough for photo editing, which is my main use. The main question is how does this compare to the Wacom Bamboo, the least expensive equivalent? The most important consideration is accuracy, and surprisingly, it's an (almost) even contest. You might find it for $180 if you shop, but it's still over twice as much. The least expensive Wacom 8圆 pad is $200. Price was my main consideration, and in that regard, this is a steal. I bought this to replace an old Intuos 2 pad that finally died.
