Wacom Graphire Pen & Mouse Set

Pros: Many creative pros... listed in the review!
Cons: You must update the driver that it comes with.

I love to be creative and this device is just what I needed!

I recently celebrated my birthday and my younger brother gave this device to me as my gift. My brother knows that I loved to be creative and that I have been looking into the...

Pros: Cheap, flexible, and very capable.
Cons: Low sampling resolution, DOS performance.

Take your mouse, open the art package of your choice, and sign your name. You can't, can you? Try drawing a human face. Unless you're some kind of rodent jockey, that high tech optical mouse with the 27 buttons is starting to look pretty clumsy now,...

Pros: Easy to use and install. Fun.
Cons: Mouse is not very good and the pen can be easily lost.

I recently bought the Wacom Graphire in Blueberry. I really liked that you could select a color if it was in stock. I bought mine online at a computer supply website.

I was so excited to have it get here I nearly assaulted every UPS truck...

Pros: no wires in the way
Cons: takes getting used to

The mouse can be an awkward tool. Most computers know it has limitations and can be dysfunctional at times. Some things like retouching a photo image can be especially unwieldy using a mouse. The answer to this problem is the Wacom Graphire, a...

Pros: Sensitive, customisable, lots of free software
Cons: Scratchy mouse, small tablet area

My wonderful husband bought this for me as a gift. I do a lot of hand painting and have always been interested in using one of these to see if my skills could translate to computer graphics programs if I could only use a pen or brush.

Woo hoo!...

Pros: Very accurate, and extremely customizable
Cons: Very flimsy mouse and not extremely well crafted

I received the Wacom Graphire tablet as a Christmas gift just recently and I have to say that, though it is a very good tool, it seems to lack the quality craftsmanship that I was expecting. The tool is very versatile, however, and is still very useful;...

Pros: low price lots of features
Cons: none

The Wacom Graphire Pen & Mouse Set is perfect for everyone. At around $75 dollars it is an excellent deal. Usually you would pay that just for a cordless, batteryless, ball-less mouse. The set comes in lots of neon colors to add a little color to the...

Pros: Well built and easy to install. Pen based input is so natural!
Cons: Possible driver problems, yet these are not significant.

I had used the Wacom Pen Partner for several years prior to moving to the Graphire Pen. I switched due to some apparent serial port trouble, which rendered my Pen Partner inoperable. The problem did turn out to be a break down in the Pen Partner. At any...

Pros: Awesome control. Low price
Cons: Unneeded mouse comes with it.

I have heard of graphic tablets. Over the years I saw the ad's etc., they sounded pretty neat but… Why would I want one? I do just fine with my trackball mouse.
The search..
As I delved deeper into art, joined forums and studied...

Pros: Great for Graphics
Cons: Don't trash your Mouse

When I first saw this pen/mouse combo pad online, I thought to myself what a great idea this was... Although not in any way new technology, the Graphire tablet surpassed all my expectations for its intended purposes. First off, I purchased this tablet...

Pros: Cheap, nice pen, comes in cool colors, USB
Cons: Mouse is slow and buggy, can't boot with it plugged in.

The Graphire is a great idea. An inexpensive graphics tablet and a cordless, balless (sp?) mouse to boot. All for under a hundred bucks! What could be wrong with that? Well...

I bought the Graphire because I had always wanted a graphics tablet...

Pros: Natural, comfortable, intuitive, liberating.
Cons: None

Tablets are great, they really speed up your work and make some applications much more effective or productive. If you haven't tried on, you should find a friend who has one and give it a try. If you are getting one, then you should get a Wacom tablet....

Pros: Compact Size, Inexpensive; Easy to Use; Good Software Bundle
Cons: The Mouse is Questionable; Windows Drivers Can Be Flaky

The newest line of inexpensive drawing tablets from Wacom is a real winner. The Graphire tablets have a 4 X 5 inch drawing area and the entire unit is compact enough to travel with a laptop, which is how I use it.

If you are just beginning to...

Pros: Smart, inexpensive, well supported, sturdy, easy to install, short learning curve
Cons: Mouse worthless. Also, not quite as sensitive or integrated as I would like it to be in PhotoShop.

A little secret about this fabulous product: You don't need to replace your mouse or trackball with it in order to maximize the joy you can get from it. Well, okay, it's not a secret; I wrote to the company and asked about this before I bought it....

Pros: low cost and usability
Cons: what w/ the mouse?!

i used to won a wacom 12x12 tablet many years ago and i must say it was extremely underutilized. it also cost me a few paychecks back then. so when i decided to purchase one of these i figured worst case...i was out $90 as opposed to the $500+ i spent...
