    1st review

    While the performance of this product has been fine, the usefulness of the Graphire for anything larger-scale is limited. At the time of my purchase, this was the most affordable with my budget, but I've barely been able to use it since. I would hesitate to recommend a tablet this small to anyone looking to do illustration on a normal-sized scale; I'm constantly running off the active surface and having to start over with a mouse. It's a good tool for casual photo editing, but attempting to use it for any length of time will frustrate. Inferior to the Intuos I use at work.

    There is a learning curve to using a tablet - especially a small one like this. I had used one at an internship and caught on real quick. Bought this one for myself and used it on my PC - it is hard due to the fact that when using the mouse you're used to lifting and moving the mouse - the tablet on the other hard - you don't. There's a scroll & 2 buttons built into the tablet and the product cones with a stylus pen and a mouse. It's a fun tool to use, but be ready to relearn "mousing".

    Easy to adapt to, and fun to use. Great for most of the projects I work on.

    I had one and it was amazing. Then it bit the dust :( but I got one of those Bamboo Funs by Wacom and I really can say your life isn't complete without a tablet.

    This digital pen is my favorite digital computer tool to use.

    Small drawing surface, but honestly it's all you really need... The proof is in the pudding. Check out my Illustrator and PS paint projects to see for yourself. This tablet can do almost everything and expensive one can. GREAT for beginners :^)

    Who else is there? Back in "1909" I had a Wiz by CalComp, which was ok for that time. I then tried a CalComp copy of a Wacom. I would give it 0 stars. CalComp's service had become very poor and it never worked. I fortunately where I worked at the time purchased it not me. Wacom does what it is intended to do

    I've got the USB version and not the wireless as in the pic. Regardless of it being the cheapest of the Wacoms, it's still up to Wacom quality and works well enough. I figure it will continue to do the job until I have the money free for the Intuos. (And it will probably bag it with the laptop when I finally do get an Intuos.) The built in stylus holder is a nice touch too.

    Mine shows some wear and tear, and my only worry is about the stylus nib. But it's still functional after all the heavy use, so I can't complain.
