No support

Good cheap tablet

Tablet and pen quit working after a few months. No replacements available anywhere. No mfr. web site, no tech support, no nothing. Whole investment is a total loss.

Works ok

The pen sensing gets unreliable when the battery gets low. So if you see bad sensing, change the pen battery.

Works well for the price. See usage tips below.

Without the drivers, Windows doesn't sense the pen tip pressure. But the Kanvus drivers don't support a multi-monitor setup (they map the pen to reach over the whole screen area, making it useless). However, with some searching I discovered that the...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

I wish I didn't spend money on it.

Contacting support is just sending a form off via Kanvus' website that doesn't remember who you are ever even right after you log in. I guess $100 is too cheap for a tablet. I've learned my lesson and will, I guess, have to buy $200+ tablets in order...

It's a good sized tablet. Being able to put stuff under it, like a trace pad, is really neat. Slim.

No support. Kanvus seems very separated from their own products. Drivers come out way later than they should. FAQ and Troubleshooting is worded for a five year old. After about 8 months the pen and tablet won't calibrate. In order to move my cursor...

Great till it broke

Drag. I was just starting to get used to it. Apparently it's now too late to return it, so I'm s.o.l. I'll be looking for a pen or another tablet, which will not be a Kanvus.

Worked fine while it lasted. The accompanying software was helpful.

I bought the product May 2010. It was very very rarely used until about October 2010. I started using it to teach in January 2011. In March2011 it stopped working. Troubleshooting suggests it's a problem with the pen, but without the pen the whole...

Great at first

It treated me well for a few months and then turned on me. I expected better from this product. I should have spent a little more and got a wacom.

This thing is slim, light and has great surface area for the price. Pressure sensitivity and precision are great as well.

Durability. This thing started giving me trouble not long after having it. It started to develop a dead spot on the right side of the tablet. When the Pen would get close it it, the cursor would freeze and then freak out, causing streaks in my...

Kworld Kanvus Life 106

Easy to use. Easy to learn. Good for minimal use.

Lagging in art programs I used. Lagging in general on Lenovo. Hot spots tend to get in the way.

Very upset

I was no pleased, this is probably the first time i have been let down by one of neweggs purchases, then again i did order a cheap version of a very expensive product.

overall the tablet was cheap, thats really all i can say

where to start, in the beginning it was good, everything worked no issues with the drivers, simple install, the second day of ownership the tablet started showing signs of being defective, the tablet stopped working and then would not work until...

Works great

Works great in Windows 7 64-bit. I use it with GIMP; GIMP recognized it immediately and it works fine. This is my first tablet, so I can't really compare it to others, but its tracking and pressure sensitivity is more precise than I am.
