Genius MousePen 8x6 Tablet 2000 LPI Resolution 1024 Pressure level, Cordless Pen & Wireless Scroll Mouse

For the price, it's worth it if you're not going to use it all day every day. If you need a workhorse, this is not work you. But for small jobs and for hobby this is perfect.

Decent tablet for the price. Works fairly well

Stylus requires watch batteries (included). Feels a bit clunky in the hand. I would not want to use this for long extended work, but for short jobs this is fine. I did have some driver installation issues - if you change ports, you need to reinstall...

Tablet

This is my first personal tablet and I couldn't be happier with it. And though it hasn't happened, it's nice to know that if the pen fails for whatever reason it is easily replaced.

Great sensitivity, nice size, the buttons around the edges are easily hotkeyed in

Nothing so far

Needs battery

Easy to use, cheap

I didn't check this when I ordered, needs batteries for pen and mouse, luckily I had rechargeable batteries laying around otherwise I would have returned it. What do you expect from a cheap tablet?

Great starter tablet! Worth it!

The mouse is kind of useless, but I guess it's nice if you don't have one for some reason, like a new laptop or something. Great bang for the buck and excellent as a first tablet. The large area helps a lot and you'll be glad you did it. Considering a...

LARGE drawing area. Yeah, you can get the job done on a smaller surface, but why bother? The preset pressure sensitivity felt fine to me and can be adjusted within the software bundle. The size of the drawing area can also be adjusted, in case you want...

I only have a few gripes ; I wish that there was an actual physical barrier separating the hotcells from the drawing area. It takes a little getting used to and you might find yourself wandering onto hotcells by accident ; The pen tip seems kind of...

Good action... cheap pen

It's about half as much as a comparable item from a competitor, did what it was supposed to and did it well. But you get what you pay for I guess. There's a tablet in my future, that's for sure, but don't know if I'm going to go with genius or wait...

Good entry level tablet. There's a bit of a learning curve. Nice change of pace from trackball and mouse for sufferers of the dreaded carpal tunnel

The pen. It feels like a cheap chinese knock off and lo and behold that's how mine ended up working. I'd only used it sporadically for the first month or so... liked it a lot, but then the pen st6pped working. I don't think I'd logged more than a...
