Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch Review

 

The WACOM tablet – that rectangular thing most people are not aware of while graphic designers often get to use them all the time.

A great product for students that are in graphic design, and also anyone else who has a lifestyle that involves sitting around the couch and browsing around.

Read Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch

 

Wacom is the undisputed leader of pressure-sensitive tablet interfaces, and they are expanding their entry-level line with the latest Bamboo tablet, the first tablet to offer multi-touch input alongside the traditional stylus. As a Mac user, I consider...

Absolutely beautiful product

Spotty gesture support

As its first attempt at a multi-touch tablet, Wacom has some work to do but is on the right track. Because I have such high expectations from Wacom, I felt let down by the sometimes jittery performance of the touch component. As a traditional tablet,...

Review: Bamboo Fun and Bamboo Pen & Touch

 

We review and compare two new Wacom consumer pen tablets.

Touching your way around your programs is fun and fluid, and the gestures worked well in my tests. Both tablets can be used comfortably by righties or lefties. The nine key gestures are: Navigate, Click, Double-Click, Right-Click, Forward & Back,...

Works Well

 

This touch tablet does everything it says it does and more, but I wish I would have stepped up and got the touch tablet with the pen. Though these are great Touch tablets really make sure you need this, A Mouse is way more accurate. My Bamboo just sits...

Best when touchpad is disabled

 

This item was purchased as a more portable (and less expensive) alternative pen pad than my existing Bamboo Fun. Being well pleased with the Bamboo Fun, I expected the best from this combination pen and touch pad device. As it turns out, the pen...

Consumer review by:

Stay away from this low-end device

 

Poor responsiveness, inaccurate, sluggish pointer motion - the built-in touch pad on my laptop, or your average low-end optical mouse, is considerably faster and more accurate than this.

Consumer review by:

Pretty good for the price

 

This replaces a Wacom Graphire (which expired) in combination with an Adesso touch pad. I have used Intuos tablets as well, and find this all in one convenient. Would like to desensitize the touch more than is currently possible to prevent accidental...
