Wacom Graphire 3 Studio XL test and review from Computer Video Magazine

 

Sometimes a mouse just isn't the right tool. With titles to design, menu backgrounds to create and hand-writing to simulate, editors need something extra - perhaps the help of a Wacom Graphire 3?

Wacom Graphire3 Studio XL

 

The Graphire3 is an excellent bundle that can increase your productivity and really help your artistic touch in graphics applications that support variable-width strokes. But if you’re still using the mouse that came with your Mac, then you should seek...

Wacom Graphire3 review: Wacom Graphire3

 

Wacom Graphire3

Battery-free; lets you draw and edit with precision; excellent software bundle; easy to install.

Pricey; pen is awkward for onscreen navigation; manual contains errors; pressure-sensitivity doesn't work with Corel Procreate Painter Classic.

The Graphire3 is worth its steep price if you're heavily into editing digital images; otherwise, stick with a mouse.

Wacom Graphire3 6x8

 

The Graphire3 6x8 is excellent -- a great performer with an outstanding design.

Wacom's cordless, batteryless tablet technology delivers excellent pen feel and response.

Included mouse is not a replacement for your regular mouse.

Redesigned Tablet-Mouse Combo Provides Great Graphics Value

Wacom Graphire3

 

Wacom's Graphire3 offers non-artists a simple and effective pen-based computing mechanism, and the option of the best wireless mouse we've ever seen. Read our Australian review.

Great Product that makes sketching easy

 

I have always had an on and off again interest in tablets... I've waited nearly 8 years for it to become perfected. I was first turned off by the price in my younger years of interest... then it was the serial connection and resolution. Now I finally...

WACOM Graphire3 CTE430SA 3.65" x 5.02" Active Area USB Tablet

 

I absolutely love the tablet. It takes some getting used to but I will get a lot of use out of it. I received it in 3 days I think, and that's because Newegg is the best!

small but works well

 

I had been wanting a tablet for casual use in modifying my own scanned art, so I bought this. This little guy works well and doesn't break the bank. My only complaint is that it's not very large, hence if you're a professional graphics designer you...

Cheap, but effective...

 

I purchased this tablet so that I could easily do texture mapping and graphic design. I have been disappointed, but overall it gets the job done. The writing surface is so small, that it is uncomfortable to write on. There is no way to rest your wrist...
