Customer Reviews

Very useful for beginning artists 4
After using this product for several months I can say it is an excellent purchase. The tablet is a little thick, giving you the feel of a small sketch pad when you are working, and the surface has the feel of a smooth piece of paper when using the stylus. There is no excessive noise when using the stylus, unlike other less expensive brands that produce a high pitched plastic on plastic skreatch.

The stylus is vanilla. It comes with a plastic base to hold it either upright or horizontilly. The holder also carries extra nibs, which was a nice suprise after wondering what the little hole on the bottom of it was! The battery free function of the stylus is wonderful, although the wieght is a little too light for some peoples taste. Also, there is no grip material, so you will constantly be adjusting your grip while using this item. The stylus also comes with what would appear to be an eraser nib as well. But, this is only cosmetic, and has no actual function other than to slightly copy other more popular style pens....(wacom)....

All in all this is, as I said before, an excellent product for the beginning artist. You get an excellent driver support from the manufacturer that updates drivers about twice a year, a packet of sofware to toy with, and a fairly decent tech support line to contact as well.

Not too shabby 5
I think that it is very good. I never used a Wacom but I seriously can't imagine it being much better. And the price is MUCH better with Hanvon.

Intuos2 Grip Pen
The Intuos2 Grip Pen features Wacom's patented batteryless, cordless technology with 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity. This cushioned pen reduces your grip effort by up to 40% so that you can work comfortably with less stress. Customers tell us that being able to use a pen helps them alleviate mouse and trackball induced repetitive stress injuries*.

Comfort and Ease of Use
Intuos2 comes in 5 sizes for every work style from 4"x5" to 12"x18". The tablet connects to your computer's USB (or Serial) port with an 8 foot cable so you have room to kick back and work comfortably. It's easy to use a pen tablet because every point on the tablet has a matching point on the screen. When you move your pen over the tablet, the cursor moves in precisely the same way on the screen. Where you touch your pen tip to the tablet is where you click.

A Better Mouse
Intuos2 batteryless, cordless mice have no ball to clean so you always have smooth tracking. With 2540 dpi resolution they are also much more accurate than other mice. The 4x5 and 6x8 sizes come with the three-button Intuos2 2D Mouse. The 9x12, 12x12, and 12x18 sizes come with the five-button Intuos2 4D Mouse.

Quick Access to Shortcuts
Each Intuos2 tablet features menu strip buttons above the active area of the tablet for easy access to your favorite shortcuts. The menu strip buttons have default shortcuts and they are fully customizable through Intuos2's software control panel. Pen side-switches can also be customized to generate mouse button clicks, keystrokes, modifier keys, or even to generate a pop-up menu selection of shortcuts.

Tracing
Intuos2 pen tablets feature a thick, durable overlay so that you can easily trace photos and art. Because the Intuos2 pen works up to about a quarter inch above the tablet surface, many customers also tape paper and art directly to the tablet surface to change the feel of the working surface and for convenience. Larger tablets offer more working space to simplify this type of functionality with larger art and copy work.

Intuos2 Accessories
The most notable Intuos2 accessory is the Airbrush. This unique input solution provides all of the same capabilities as a real airbrush when used in conjunction with Adobe Photoshop 7 or procreate Painter 7 by Corel, including pressure (height), tilt angle and bearing, and ink flow control. The Airbrush fingerwheel can also be used to control brush size independent of opacity. This is a very handy benefit when working with tools in Photoshop. An Intuos2 brushed metal Designer Grip Pen is also available.

Bundled Software
Nothing makes a pen tablet come alive like great pressure-sensitive software-- and all Wacom pen tablets come bundled with software from companies like Adobe, Corel, and nik multimedia, some of the greatest software companies in the business.

the manhattan VS the wacom 4

I owned the manhattan tablet for a year now. My brother owns a bamboo.
So I had the chance to compare the two.
Physical features:
I did like the "ink well" feature in the bamboo.
But I can live with holding the pen in my right hand and using my left hand on the keyboard to do everything the ink well does.The manhattan pen has its own battery so it can move the cursor while the tip is 2 inches above the pad. It also requires some pressure on the tip to start drawing or create a click function.The bamboo can only sense the pen when the tip is in contact with the pad.
Software annoyance on the manhattan:
I had a problem with assigning the user defined shortcut icons, located around the graphics pad, to open a web browser. Linking the icon to run firefox.exe or chrome.exe was easy and it did open the browser. But it opens it like it was like another user opening the browser. It didn't retain my previous history or bookmarks and it asked if I wanted to set the browser as default. but it was opening properly when clicking on the normal desktop icon. Any suggestions?

Artist.....New to Graphics Tablets 5
Im new to graphics tablets so I cant really compare to other products...However as far as this one goes, I would recomend it to anyone looking for an affordable tablet that works very well.
Set with Vista home Basic with trouble at all...works very well with all programs ive used it with thus far..{MS Paint,one note, word, MGI photo suite and many others}Easy to program buttons...This Is A Very Nice Tablet For The Price...
Highly Recomended.

Customer Reviews
Fantabulous!
This works perfectly for me: I completely replaced my mouse with this device. Its a completely different experience - you just don't grow tired like using a mouse. I was a little skeptical because of the price but it performs like a charm - all the taps and drags work perfectly well - drawing is great - the right click function in the pen is also a great addition. However, the one drawback I see in this device is that it does not allow my Mac to go to sleep. Therefore I have to switch off my computer if it is going to be idle for a considerable period of time (this is good for the environment so not quite a serious draw back).

Customer Reviews

Buyer beware.2
I'll start by saying this tablet is very basic, and if basic is all you need you can't beat the price. Be forewarned, though, the manual included is very ...lackluster & in broken english. Also, good luck with finding a website, manufacturer phone number, or address where you can write to. Don't lose the program disc, or buy one of these that's missing the disc.

I can draw with this tablet in Corel 9, but I don't have any of the pressure sensitivity. I think the instructions try to tell me as much since I'm using XP, but it's hard to tell. No sensitivity with Windows Paint, either. But I know the function does actually work, since I can get sensitivity results in the programs own test-box, but that's it.

Good Enough4
I have been using this tablet for two years now, which I originally bought on ebay. It is beginning to get worn out and may need replacement, so I'm assuming a 2-3 year average life span on this product because I do use it rather often.

This was the first tablet I ever owned; purchased because of the low price, and it has been just fine for me. I use it on a laptop with Windows XP and Photoshop7 and despite a few quirks and occasional minor glitches it functions just fine. I had no trouble with drivers or software.

In using the product I've discovered a few quirks in working with it.
* Pressure sensitivity only works if the device is plugged in before the program you wish to use is started.
* Cannot start the computer with the device plugged in, must plug in after start up is complete.
* Pressure sensitivity can stop if the tablet is left plugged in but unused for too long, although I have not experienced this for a few months now.
* Recently, occasionally the tablet will stop recognizing the pen while working on something, but a quick tap to the keyboard will fix this. May just be a result of being old.

As this is the only tablet I have ever used I cannot compare it to more expensive brands, but I find that it works just fine for me. I use it exclusively for drawing on Photoshop7. Writing functions in Microsoft Word seem to work, but I have only tried once or twice.

Great Value (if you can get it working) 2
I just got this tablet cuz I can't afford a Wacom. I haven't been able to get it to work yet...

**UPDATE - I got it working! See update in comments section. I would also give it 4 stars now that I've figured out my driver issues.**

This product is very low quality (which is why they can sell it so cheaply) and from the reviews and forums on other websites, it seems like about half of the units that are shipped are lemons. Many report that it works flawlessly out of the box. In particular people using MacOSX or Windows Vista seem to have a lot of problems but then again some others who use those operating systems said that it works like a charm. It seems to be either 1)problems with the pen not working or 2)crappy driver software. Put that together with almost non-existant customer service (the company is in China) makes it a huge risk to purchase this. I wish I would have saved for a real Wacom. You get what you pay for...

FYI, Here's a description of my own personal issues:
I'm using a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.4.11. I've tried both the 1.23 and 1.24 drivers for MacOSX but nothing doesn't work. The weird thing is that it actually responds to the pen and all the lights light up when I put the pen on the tablet or push one of the buttons. But the cursor is always stuck in the lower right corner of the screen and no matter what I do I can't get it to leave that corner. If I use my mouse to move the cursor to the middle of the screen, as soon as I hover the pen over the tablet the cursor moves immediately to the lower right corner.

Customer Reviews

Inexpensive graphics tablet that actually works 4
I bought this to replace an old Intuos 2 pad that finally died. Price was my main consideration, and in that regard, this is a steal. The least expensive Wacom 8x6 pad is $200. You might find it for $180 if you shop, but it's still over twice as much.

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. With over 1000 levels of pressure sensitivity, it's more than good enough for photo editing, which is my main use. The pen nibs are not quite as smooth to use but work well enough. Construction quality is not the same. The pad, itself seems more cheaply made, and the mouse is flimsy. The Wacom Bamboo, doesn't even need a mouse anymore, you can use finger gestures, which are a definite improvement. The Genius pen uses a battery, the Wacom doesn't need one. That's not a big deal for me, but worth noting.

For the extra money the Wacom Bamboo comes with full working copies of Corel Painter and Photoshop Elements. The Genius MousePen only has time limited demos. Elements is a version old but still an excellent program. There's also a set of Photoshop filters that are of good quality. If you don't have those programs, especially Elements, the Wacom becomes a bargain. I do, so didn't want to pay extra for duplicates.

The pad works with Macs, but doesn't have all the functionality that it does with Windows. Boo. You can automatically send handwritten notes to Outlook in Windows but not Mail with Macs. On the plus side there are two dozen customizable keys around the edges of the tablet compared to 4 on the Bamboo. That's a definite plus.

If you already own your graphics software, this is a bargain. If you are also looking for painting or photo editing software, consider the Wacom tablets.

Perfect for the money 5
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. 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. The workspace seems to be the perfect size, and has blank space all around it. I thought the blank space would be an issue, but it's really important for comfortability. The high LPI picks up deft movements quite well, the pressure sensor is wonderful, and the pen feels quite comfortable in my hand. 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.

I have 4 issues with this tablet - no eraser end of the pen, the pen and mouse require batteries, the shortcuts on the pad don't open programs correctly (might be my fault) and there is no tilt control on the pen. However, I can grab some rechargeable AAA batteries, select the eraser tool in the program itself, and launch programs the old fashioned way. The lack of tilt is the only key aspect for me.

Overall, I would highly recommend this tablet for newcomers to digital art, even just for touching up photographs in Photoshop. I don't believe I have the expertise to recommend it to a professional, but I don't see anything barring it's use in a professional application. For the money, I believe you get the best bang for your buck here.

I love it !! 4
Pros:
Very affordable price
Plentiful hot keys
Active area is spacious
Pen Storage
Cons:
Bundled Mouse looks very cheap

Nice tablet with very good resolution - horrible drivers 3
I bought this tablet for Christmas this past year for my step-son. I am teaching him digital arts and he loved my Wacom so I figured that I would get him something similar without breaking the bank so I ordered this tablet. The tablet feels solid and the pen has nice grip rubber and feels good using. When you install and start using the resolution seems really good. The problem comes in after you use for a few days, the drivers get really weird with Windows XP Pro SP-3. The mouse will start selecting things that you just hover over and don't work too well. He loved the tablet, but due to "funky" drivers, he has gone back to using a mouse. I went on the company's web site and downloaded updated drivers, but they only worked for a few days and now the pen and tablet are doing the same things again. I really feel that the problem is with the software and not hardware. I may attempt to install a wacom driver and see if it works for that tablet.

Wonderful Tablet 5
I was really worried about buying this product after reading other reviews, but once I actually tried it for myself, it turned out to be a great experience! I had this product for 1 month now,and I think i've done good things with this tablet. First of all, it's not too small. I have small hands so it doesn't bother me. The installation is pretty easy as long as you follow directions completely. In the cd it comes with the trials, photoshop and corel painter. And it also includes one AAA battery which I am still using now.
This tablet works very well with OpenCanvas, Photoshop, and Sai Painter. Corel painter is really not my favorite, but it still works. It works well on my artwork, and it is really more fun than using a mouse. I don't know how a wacom works, but I am very satified with this product!

Tips I might add are: when you have your pen over your tablet, and when you try to use the mouse at the same time, the mouse cursor jiggles. So move your hand away from the tablet when using your mouse.

This is also my first tablet, so I might also add, you are really going to hate this thing until you get used to it! I don't hate it anymore. I really love it now!

Great pad, great features, better than the new Bamboo! 5
I just got my CTE450K today. It's sold as refurbished but appeared to be brand new to me. It works great! I recently got the latest Bamboo pen tablet and decided to get this one, too, to compare the features and performance (we have more than one computer).

Features this has that the latest Bamboo pen doesn't:

- The mouse. I've read negative comments about the mouse before. I don't know what they mean. I like the mouse a lot. It's comfortable, precise, and it lets me share the same space for the tablet and mouse (more convenient than using a separate conventional mouse).

- The eraser end of the pen. This lets you flip the pen over to erase instead of having to choose the eraser tool in your program and then choose your drawing tool again. Nice to have!

- The touch ring: this lets you scroll and zoom with your finger. It works well, but it's not a huge deal to me.

- The programmable buttons: I really like having buttons to program keystrokes and functions for quick access.

- The included software: this Bamboo Fun includes Photoshop Elements and Painter Essentials (and more). With the latest Bamboo, you get one or the other, depending which model you order.

The tablet works very well, just like the latest Bamboo. The latest Bamboo has a few less features to lower the price (I assume). This previous version has all the features and originally sold at a higher price. But with these refurbished ones, you get the extra features and actually pay less than for the latest Bamboo! I highly recommend these as the way to go compared to the latest Bamboo pen.

(Note: the latest Bamboo comes in versions that support finger touch in addition to the pen functionality. I didn't get one of those, as it didn't seem worth the higher price for what I was going to do with it (artwork and photo editing). My recommendation of this version over the latest applies to the pen-only versions of the latest Bamboo. If you want finger touch (including multi-touch), you'll want to go with the latest (and pay more).)


About the size: I debated quite a bit between pads with 4x6 active area and 6x8. This was before trying a tablet. Now that I've used the 4x6 tablets for a while, I'm quite sure it's the perfect size. The 6x8 would have me moving my hand/arm much more than I'd prefer, and it would take up more desk space. There's plenty of resolution in the 4x6 area for all the precision I'll ever need.


Great product, great price! I love it, and my kids love it!

Wacom CTE450K Tablet , a great deal and a great product!!! 5
My review is on this refurbished model in particular, and I must say its great. Looks new without a mark on it. I was really impressed, was a little concerned about a Factory Refurbished item, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Tablet works just like a very expensive CAD system tablet but at a fraction of the cost. My unit came packaged just like new and worked perfectly first time.

Awesme Tablet!! 5
I am neither a graphic designer nor an artist. However, I do have an interest in digital art and saw artists drawing beautiful anime characters using tablets at anime conventions. I was fascinated and wanted to learn how to use this tool (even if I can't draw). I read the amazon reviews for the bamboo CTE450K and its price. It looked like a risk I could afford. I immediately ordred one and was impressed right away (even though it was refurbished, it looked and felt brand new). The price was unbelievably low and the features and software that came with it are impressive. I like the feel of the pen as it feels like I am holding a real pen and the mouse feature is awesome as it prevents clutter and doesn't require batteries. I do like the zoom feature and the customizable function keys. Additionally I ordered the carrying case for it to protect this valuable gem.

Customer Reviews

Very pleased with Cybertablet Z12 4
This is my first graphics tablet. Being a mechanical engineer that started out on a drafting board, I come from a different mind set than a graphics artist. I spent over a week researching every manufacturer of graphics tablets I could find, reading the reviews, etc. The overwhelming number of reviews were of Wacom tablets. Frankly, I almost went with a Wacom Bamboo but, the price just seemed way out of proportion for the features. But, it seemed like everyone kept chanting the Wacom mantra.

One thing that should be stressed is software. There are basically two kinds, Pixel Image Editors and Vector Illustration Software. Editors are like Photoshop, PhotoImpact, etc. and vector based are like Adobe Illustrator ($$$), CorelDraw ($$), or InkScape(free). Image editors have lots different brush types (pen, crayon, airbrush, etc.) that produce a more painted, artistic image. Vector software is really more for those who are more serious about making images as accurate and realistic as possible.

The Cybertablet z12 came with Ulead's PhotoImpact 12se and I downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements (trial version). Personally, the PhotoImpact software is easier to use.

The cheapest Wacom that had the same size table, Intuos3 6x11 goes for $330. That's nearly 3 times the cost of a Adesso. Is the quality there, maybe not, but at this point, I can't tell.

Long story short, give the Cybertablet a shot. :)

Art 5
We bought this for our 11 year old daughter who really enjoys drawing. She is quite talented at drawing herself, and likes to trace pictures too. Once set up, she really enjoyed using this. I realize she will not use all the features yet, but I hope this product will last her for many many years. It has many features and is easy to use.

Does exactly what it says it does. 4
This tablet as described by others before me performs as it should. the control and pressure levels have worked wonderfully and I have no complaints about its functionality. There is however a point that I cant seem to get around. The macros that come programed into it already don't seem to be changeable. while they are fine the way they are I suppose, the symbols on the top don't match up to what they actually do, a minor inconvenience I suppose but one none the less.

WOOHOO!5
this is so awesome that i got such an expensive design tool for so cheap a price. i saw the deal and had to buy me a christmas present. i use it for my adobe programs on my Macbook Pro and corel paintshop and sketchbook pro. it works on my windows vista side as well. i have a laptop so it's useful at my desktop and i use the mouse all the time. very pleased with this product although i was worried about it at first because it is refurbished. it was new in the box!

good or not?5
I wanted an intuos so darn much. they are very pricey and i never have enough money to get one (bills, college and all). unfortunately my goal was to get the latest intuos 4 tablet, then i found this intuos 3 tablet by accident on amazon. I couldn't believe my eyes, i had to literally rub them a 100 times to make sure i wasn't dreaming. the price was under a 100 bucks...i was almost hysterical...i thought they were pulling my leg.
at first i was a little uncertain about the "refurbished" on the item but the price was so darn tempting that I just ordered it.
When the tablet arrived, my hands were shaking so bad because i was afraid that the tablet was already used and scratched up. to my surprise, the tablet was new and so were the accesories that came along with it. it had the refurbish stamp on but i could see no problem with it.
i installed the tablet onto the computer and started doodling with it. i was also scared that the tablet wasn't working well because all my pen pressure were the same after i changed the settings, but then i finally found out how to really change the sensitivity on the pen and i am amazed by this product.

i own a 2nd generation wacom bamboo pen (the newest one) and i was comparing it to the intuos 3....well i think the intuos 3 is really the better buy!
i am addicted to the intuos 3....its great for every artist. i highly recommend it.

Great item, was basicly new5
This was a gift for my wife and she absolutely loved it. I had to set it up, and I must say that for an item to be refurbished, it was in immaculate quality. Everything was shinny and new looking, everything worked perfectly, and was very much enjoyed by my wife. Some of the set up is a little weird, but everything works fine. The programs are worth as much as the device, so there is a big plus. I think that I may have trouble finding a gift to match this next year!

Great Chinese handwritting tool for Intel Mac...5
I purchased this mainly to replace the old PenPower tablet that I had used before for Chinese handwriting on my PPC Mac, which I found out later that the software wouldn't work on Intel Mac. Fortunately, this table, along with the updated Chinese handwriting software that can be downloaded from PenPower's website, has brought Chinese handwriting recognition to Intel Mac and it works very well. The catch here is that the new Chinese handwriting software only works with this tablet. Sure hope that Apple can license this software (which is no bigger than 30MB) and make it part of OS X... Having said all this, this is a great (and only) Chinese handwriting tool if you have an Intel Mac and want to input Chinese without having to learned various keyboard input methods.

wide tablet, very sensitive4
i had a Genius MousePen 8X6 wich worked just fine, and the size is more practical for general drawing. Tough the big size of tooya's tablet may come handy for special cases, when you have to draw and change from several tools, you'll need to strech your hand all over the tablet or have a usb mouse near for easy tool navegation. The advantage of tooya is the wide range of pressure sensibility, which works wonderfully with brushes and artistic tools like photoshop & others. Otherwise when you're drawing vectors, there's no effect of pressure on the line's width, at least there's no choice for using this feature in illustrator cs2 vectors (i dont know if it works in coreldraw) indeed, if you don't soften the pressure settings, when drawing vector lines, they could break at any weak point, so experiment with pressure settings. If You get to draw your inky sketches for any vector output, do it in a painted (rasterized) mode in Photoshop or similar, then vectorize it if you need to keep the inky feel. hope this helps

Smooth Operator4
I have had my tablet for almost 6 months now. The Tooya replaced an Aiptek. The only reason I did not say this is an excellant product is because I had originally tried to use it on a Vista Home Premium PC. Not a good idea. Since that time I loaded it on an XP Media Edition and it works great. This is a superior product to the Aiptek with a lot more control over the line (I use this to draw)
