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.
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;...
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...
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.
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...
Pros: No cleaning mouseballs, attractive styling, pen is great for drawing, cheap. Cons: Cord is rather short, mouse does not work very well, memory hog.
I wanted a tablet. I wanted one BAD. It was not going to happen, or so I thought. The average graphics tablet runs around a few hundred bucks, and as a college student, I don't have that kind of money.
Pros: Makes navigation easier, indispensable for graphics creation Cons: The pen dies if dunked in Coke by a toddler
I've always wanted a graphics tablet. I make web graphics - a lot of them. I was limited to the shapes available in my graphics creation software as I can't even write my name with a mouse. Graphics tablets were too expensive to make them realistic for...
Ever since I was a kid I've wanted a device to be able to draw free hand on my computer. Finally, this device has become affordable! It's called the Wacom Graphire Pen & Mouse and for the most part it's great!
For years I had wanted to try a graphics tablet but the cost was prohibitive. Even a small one seemed to cost a few hundred dollars and I wasn’t sure if it would be worthwhile for my kind of work; graphic art, design, and cartooning. On top of that,...
Pros: Sensitivity, ease of use; comes packaged with hundreds of dollars worth of free software. Cons: No replacement plastic covering. Not 100% perfect for line art.
If there were ever a bargain for the pc artist, it's to be found in Wacom's Graphire Tablet, pressure sensitive pen & mouse set. Aside from offering a vast array of default options for everyday computer usage, the Graphire tablet comes bundled with...
Pros: best price around, easy to get started with Cons: pen stand doesn't hold pen so well
I got my Wacom Graphire Pen & Mouse set last week. I bought it because the idea of using a pen on the computer was attractive and I was looking to start an internet comic strip, skipping a step by drawing directly into the computer rather than...
Pros: Works Great, GREAT PRICE! Cons: None that I've run across in six months
My problem was that I wanted to be able to do work on Photoshop on my Toshiba laptop. Well if you have ever tried to exert fine control over the cursor with that little rubber button, then you know the frustration I was experiencing. Even connecting a...
Pros: Comes in colors, sleeker, detachable pen holder, USB option Cons: None!
If you are looking for a digital, wireless pen than definatly, Go with a Wacom!
I bought my first tablet at a computer show, for around $160.00. I hadnt tried a tablet before, and had no idea that the one I bought was pretty junky. The...
Pros: cheap, durable, light Cons: some problems with mouse & those little rubber thingies that are oh-so-important, poor ergonomics
I will admit that the graphire has problems. The mouse needs serious tweaking in the control panel in order to be useful, but once you get the speed right its fine. The plastic covering get scratched and there's no way to replace it. The usb cable is...
To earn extra money for college, I ink comic books for several major comic book companies. The Wacom Graphire Pen and Mouse set is the instrument of choice both for amateur and professional desktop art. It's the only graphics tablet I would ever trust...
Pros: No AC Adapter needed, comfortable, easy to work with, easy set-up, nice software Cons: Mouse tougher to use than pen
I've been using Wacom pads since I first figured out how impossible drawing is with a mouse. I picked up the newest entry, the Graphire, and am amazed at how this improves over an already good product. First, it's a bus-powered USB, so no more bulky...
Pros: Plug in while computer on or off. Great software. Can still use PS2 mouse. Cons: Pen falls out of holder. Didn't work with XP. Need '98CD to install driver.
I purchased this item over a year ago and only now got the opportunity to install it. It would not install nor work with WinXP. But there may be updated drivers so that it can now. I will have to look.
It came with Adobe Photoshop5.0 LE!!
It...
Pros: Easy Set-Up, Small Leaning Curve, Superbly accurate, Mobile. Inexpensive. Cons: Really stinks if you lose the pen :)
When I was working on my senior thesis, I was doing a short "Star Wars" movie. The post-production process required a lot of drawing on the already shot footage. I was using my regular mouse and spent hours working on the footage. Needless to say, my...
Pros: compact design, tetherless/batteryless pen with eraser, excellent bundled software Cons: mouse/driver hangs after a few minutes use
I had some reservations about the small 4"x5" active drawing area, but having used it for a number of months now it seems to be close to perfect for sketching purposes, and performs ably in more ambitious artistic designs as well.
I've been using the Wacom Graphire tablet for the last several months on a Windows 2000 Professional machine. I was unimpressed with the mouse that comes with the Graphire; it is sitting in a drawer somewhere... but the pen is excellent.
Pros: Affordable price, cordless, accurate Cons: problems in games, wiggles
This is an exceptional product by Wacom especially at its low price! Never before could I find a tablet with features that this graphire tablet has. Being a Art/Design student myself I come to appreciate the accuracy and the versatility which with a...
Pros: Easy to use, pen sensitivity, cordless mouse included, comes with 6 programs, easy installation and great looks! Cons: Practically no physical manual (online manuals included), no menu shortcuts on tablet.
This graphics tablet is a must for anyone who wants to do serious graphic design. Drawing, tracing, painting, etc will become so much easier in Photoshop, Illustrator, Painter and 3D programs. And for everyone who isn't into graphics illustration, you...
Pros: Good price, top brand Cons: Light empty feeling mouse.
Price:
Compared to anything on the market, including the Intuos line, you have a quality name brand (best in the industry) and a professional product for a great price.
Pros: Economical, easy to set up and use, portable Cons: Kind of flimsy, doesn't ship with current driver
I love my Graphire, because it solved so many problems for me: (1) I needed an alternative to the touchpad on my laptop, (2) I can't draw with a mouse, and (3) I have sore wrists from typing and playing guitar. Best of all, it solved them for not much...
Pros: The pen is a marvel to use Cons: Doesn't cover larger display areas
I was a little apprehensive when I handed over my money at PC World when purchasing my Wacom Graphire Pen and Mouse Set - it was money I didn't really have, specifically my mothers. But there's only so much you can do in Abode Photoshop with a mouse and...
Pros: Awesome technology, extremely useful Cons: Takes getting used to, most programs for PC
I have always been an avid drawer on my computer, so I was pleased to recieve this as a gift from my father. The device itself looks great, its sleek and sexy. Its not too bulky, and fits nicely on my desk. The pad comes with a cordless mouse and pen....
Pros: USB version works with both Macintosh and USB equipped PCs. Trouble-free installation with Windows 98 on USB version. Natural "pencil on paper" feel. Eraser and pressure-sensitivity supported in all popular graphics programs. Wireless, non-mec Cons: Pen stand doesn't grip pen firmly.
Your jazzy new portable computer has plenty of processing horsepower. The Wacom Graphire USB is the easiest way to unleash it. Plug it into your computer's USB port and it serves as both a mouse pad (with its own wireless, non-mechanical wheel mouse) and...
Pros: small, good price, cordless mouse included Cons: pen's too big...
I use Wacom products at work (6x8) tablet and I love it. It helps with the battle against carpal-tunnel and functions very well with most of the graphic applications I use in addition to being very comfortable while I edit video.
Pros: just like drawing on paper, customizable, cheap, wireless! Cons: takes getting used to!
i've wanted a wacom since back when it was first out, and when i finally got one early 2001, i was excited!!! like when i got my first markers for drawing! and all i did the first week was test test test the wacom pen!
Pros: cheap and cool colors Cons: small but i'll live
Well I started out using a tablet and stylus back in school(96). We used the 8x6's since the school bought them. Well they were very nice and everyone said that they are going to get one, yeah right the full size cost so much ($250 to $400). So I was...
#1 question that I had when I was going to buy this product is if this small product would be adequate, or comparable to the larger Wacom tablets. I actually bought this product thinking that I might not like it. Well, let me change that view. My screen...
Pros: Easy to install & use. Very customizable. Comes with wireless mouse. Cons: Small drawing area.
The Graphire is an excellent choice for the hobbyist graphic artist. Why not for professionals? The drawing area is very small for large applications. It's approximately 4" x 5". Otherwise this is perfect tablet.
Pros: Gives you precise control, breeze to set up, very affordable Cons: Included mouse ain't all that
I've been using this tablet for about 2 months now and am admitingly quite impressed. I sought out a tablet since the standard mouse just doesn't cut it when it comes to drawing and phot-editing. The Wacom Graphire gives you precise control while...
Watcom Graphire3 6x8 Digitizer System by bobmartinez ,Nov 01 '03
Pros: Works as advertised with superb workmanship, portability and supporting software. Cons: Lacks a built-hub feature to allow use with other USB devices and a retractable cord.
What a wonderfully engineered and quality manufactured product. I bought this particular system (tablet, wireless mouse, pen and software) as a substitute to buying a PC Tablet.
The system works flawlessly as advertised out of the box. I use it primarily for taking notes in MS XP Word, Outlook, OneNote and jotting graphs and notes in PowerPoint presentations. It costs $200 and the lowest priced PC Table to give me this capability costs about $1,500 .
Anyone considering buying a PC Tablet for the digital ink capabilities should consider this alternative. The table sits next to my laptop at conferences and packs less than one-half pound extra weight to my traveling laptop package.
The cordless two-button scrolling mouse is something else to feel and the accompanying digital pen a delight to use. It just smacks of QUALITY!
The gray color is an identical match to my Compaq laptop. Looks like they came together and they provide a economical yet powerful punch for the note-taking road warrior.
