Consumer review (newegg.com)

Good buy

 

For the money you really cant beat this item!

Very Sturdy build. Not flimsy at all. Pen works fairly well. Works great overall. Nice size writing area

Only two very small drawbacks to this item. First is that the pen sometimes acts a little flaky when you are on the edge of the drawing area. Very minor issue but occasionally irritating. The second is the pen takes a AAAA battery. Unless you just...

Worth every penny

 

Cant beat the price and it works great. I did have to lower the sensitivity for the tip pressure via the tablet options in Control Panel for better operation.

I have to say, I love my tablet. I take it back and forth from home to school since it fits easily in a laptop bag. I got this one because it was a bit smaller, lighter, inexpensive and I wasnt too sure how Id like a tablet. For the novice or someone...

The only real cons I can think of are the battery size; AAAA. It was a bit difficult to find a battery smaller than AAA but they arent expensive, but I have not needed it yet (I am still using the original battery from when I got it a year ago)

Manufacturing error?

 

well, when I first received this i thought it was broken because the tablet would not detect the pen but after closer inspection, I found the problem. The metal strip on the positive side of the battery inside the pen was not applying enough pressure...

cheap, small, has replacement pen heads, works well alongside USB mice

kind of flimsy, small, feels cheap

wow, this is pretty cool

 

Setup is very simple and easy.

if you have big hands you may find using the pen button a little frustraiting at first.

Works for Mac

 

Works great with my Powerbook G4 that is running OS X Tiger. No driver needed. Mainly used it for Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. PS recognize the pressure sensitivity

It'd be great if there is a way to tells battery level

Not bad

 

I like this tablet, it is good for the hobbiest, and I don't really need to tell pros to go with a Wacom. It is definitely worth it for most work you could be doing photoshop or open canvas or whatever.

This has been a fantastic buy, it hasn't given me any trouble minus the times that I had a dual monitor set up, (I stopped using my tablet during that time.) As soon as I moved back to only having one monitor, I starting using it all over again. The...

It feels cheap (but don't get me wrong, it has never broken on me.) There is a lack of dual monitor set up

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Wonderful

 

When I ordered this, I got it because it had great reviews and I was only a hobbyist. After ordering it, the next day I realized I should have gotten a wacom. This was only because they were a big company. But I wanted to give this a try before I...

Great product. High Sensitivity. Small and yet big at the same time. Extremely thin. Comes with two replacement tips in pen holder compartment

Will not work with Wacom battery less stylus's. Software messed up double clicking for my windows

Not worth it..

 

Maybe other people have had better luck with this tablet but I am now purchasing a Wacom Graphire from Newegg and expect much more from Wacom. Buy a Wacom if you want quality!

Worked for about 10 minutes... wait thats a con.... well look below

Used for 10 minutes (maybe) before I started to get very erratic pen and mouse movements not only in Photoshop, but in the whole Win XP environment. Thought maybe it was a driver issue so i uninstalled and reinstalled a few times to no avail. THEN the...

Bad choice for gimp users

 

It's cheap and it works with customizable buttons on the pen and the sensitivity is alright.

Y axis is inverted when you draw in gimp and so it is not compatible with every program.

Better than you might think

 

I have had this tablet for 4 years.

After 4 years, it seems that the stylus has broken.
