Wacom Intuos Tablet Series

Pros: hardware quality, accuracy, pen, technology
Cons: driver

Wacom Intuos2 A4/9x12 USB regular review Usage period: a couple of weeks / daily. Introduction: ----------------- I've been looking for an accurate cordless mouse, but for my taste all the optical cordless mice were too heavy because of the ...

Pros: Essential for artists!
Cons: Not having one!

Some things tend to sell themselves. The Wacom Intuous is one of them.

One, you can't possibly expect to draw anything useful with a mouse. A mouse is not going to be pressure sensitive in Photoshop or Painter or better graphics programs, and...

Pros: easy to use, easy to install, makes graphics easier to draw-up
Cons: Is kind of hard to keep clean

Well we thought that having a mouse at work was a pretty good thing. The only problem, is that when you're trying to draw objects in Photoshop, or in a paint program, you run across the problem of a non-responsive mouse. When you use a mouse, you do not ...

Pros: Intuitive control; dead-on accurate movement; very easy to use.
Cons: Expensive

As the name suggests, Wacom's line of Intuos graphic tablets are very intuitive to use. You simply use the pen device on the tablet's surface to control your on-screen pointer. Designed for graphic artists, the Intuos tablets are excellent when used with...

Pros: It's a fabulous piece of hardware, if it works with your system.
Cons: USB problems outweighed the positive attributes.

I thought my review should go in the "not recommending" category because I had significant USB issues with the hardware. You may not have the same results; your experience will be based on your personal system configuration.

The bad...

Pros: Powerful, flexible, intuitive, fun.
Cons: None I've noticed.

I call it a "toy" in the opinion title only because I play with it so much, not because it's a dinky child's plaything. It's definitely more than that: its precision, versatility and ease of use means that I would recommend it to a professional as well...

Pros: Makes graphics work SO much easier.
Cons: Can't replace a mouse.

To explain the title, I had been pondering one of these objects of desire for months. My interest in fantasy art was waning, as I couldn't keep up with the beautiful computer-coloured images I saw on the web, using just a mouse. The Australian price was...

Pros: Easy to install, great interface for graphics applications
Cons: Pen recognition glitch

Ever try to create a selection marquee around a complex image? Well, being left handed, my right mousing hand wasn't doing the trick. So I bought the Wacom Intuos 6x8 Tablet and have been very pleased.

I use it primarily in Photoshop and...

Pros: Extraordinary sensitivity, solid and ergonomic design, great software support
Cons: Keep your normal mouse plugged in for other people and day to day tasks

I like to fool around with 2D and 3D graphics on my computer. I decided to buy a Wacom Intuos 6x8 serial tablet to allow me more creative flexibility.

I really believe in this product. If nothing else, Adobe itself (pretty much the standard...

Pros: Special Edition has smoky, transparent plastic. Best look and feel of all graphics tablets available.
Cons: Initial drivers were buggy, although they've worked most problems out now. A tad pricey.

Whew! I hope that title wasn't too risqué for you. This tablet is so lightweight and perfectly sized that it sits wonderfully on your lap or desk.

The Arrival

I purchased the Intuos Special Edition GD-0912-U from an on-line...

Pros: Transforms your artwork, relieves RSI symptoms.
Cons: Expensive.

For years I tried various funky mice and trackballs trying to alleviate the sore wrist, fingers and shoulder that came with long hours at the computer. Finally, some graphic design projects gave my employer the reason to buy me a Wacom tablet. I've never...

Pros: cordless, pressure sensative, true PnP
Cons: tips wear out on pen, kinda takes up a lot of space.

Okay, here is my situation, I've used a right handed mouse ever since the first day i touched a comuter, that is what i'm comfortable with, that is what i know how to do. I've tried more than once to reverse the training and use a left handed mouse, and...

Pros: accurate, sturdy, useful, sexy
Cons: right clicking is a pain

My main trade is as a programmer, but I have the need to occasionally do graphics or 3D modeling. Since drawing with a mouse is like playing guitar with boxing gloves, I decided to pick up a $150 4x5 Wacom tablet. Installation was a breeze, and within...

Pros: More accurate then a mouse for graphics work
Cons: The side skirts need to be a little bigger, and the pen still needs to be a little larger

My first tablet was a Wacom 6x8 serial cable. It broke down in about a year’s time, then pen was uncomfortable, and the pen kept breaking.

I wanted a new tablet, something smaller, I chose the Wacom Intous 4x5. I found that I don’t use a...

Pros: Makes work in graphics applications much easier.
Cons: The mouse features can be frustratingly too sensitive. Not cheap.

How many times have you wanted to pour flammable liquid on your mouse and set it afire? I know I have every time I was in the middle of a project in PhotoShop and my mouse decided to skip. You know that thing it does when you move it along your mouse...
