Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch CTH661 review

Editors' note: In July 2010, we re-evaluated the Bamboo Pen and Touch and compared it with the Apple Magic Trackpad . Read our analysis here .

Reasonable price; multitouch controls work seamlessly alongside pen; attractive design.

No mouse.

Multitouch in place of a mouse may not appeal to pro designers, but the Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch is an excellent choice for mobile users who want to begin dabbling with art tools.

Wacom Bamboo Fun Small review

Jealous of the Multi-Touch trackpads on the latest MacBooks? You can have something better!

Touch and pen work well ; Basic gesture support ; Good software bundle

Expensive

Simply brilliant. A big investment, perhaps, but definitely worth it

Wacom Bamboo Fun small

Bamboo Fun is an A6-wide version of the Wacom Bamboo tablet and pen we reviewed in more depth in issue 184 (July 2007). It's been slightly remodelled in the Fun version (it now has rounded corners), but the pressure pad and pen are just as sensitive.

Compact yet easy to use, Great software

Takes getting used to

Lovely to see such an able tablet on offer for this price. The excellent software completes the package

Wacom Bamboo Fun Small Graphics Tablet Review

We look at the Wacom Bamboo Fun Small Pen and Touch Graphics Tablet. Find out how it performs in our review.

1024 pressure levels; Easy to setup and use; Good value for money; Can use pen or multi-touch; Can be setup for dual or single monitors

Would be nice if wireless was included as standard

Expert Review

If you are looking to do lots of artwork and need delicate control from the pen, then I’d try another of the Wacom pads instead.

Junk Drivers?

Just invest in the Intuos line and skip the Bamboo.

Great sized tablet for the money

The responsiveness of the driver for both OSX and Windows is slow. The touch is the worst. When using the pen with Corel Painter the action was great, but the touch stinks. Sometimes you'd move your finger and the cursor would react anywhere from...

Dual Monitor Setup

I just wanted to correct what a previous reviewer said about not being able to set the tablet up to use only one monitor in a dual monitor setup. I am on Windows 7 and using version 5.2.4-5 of the Wacom drivers. In the Bamboo settings you can setup...

Priced well ; Well built ; Wide aspect ratio ; Comes with some great free software

I am always wary of hardwired cable connections. The USB cable is hardwired into the tablet. It would have been nice if there was a micro USB port on the tablet so users could provide their own cable

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Very good for starting out

If you're an artist looking to get started with digital media or make the jump from mouse to tablet, this is a great pad to start with. I'd personally have to advise you not to bother with the cheap-o brands. You may spend less money, but you'll make...

Lightweight and very easy to transport ; Decent sized surface area to work on ; Very easy to install- pretty much plug and play ; The four short-cut buttons that you can program for keystrokes(undo, redo, etc.) are just awesome and improve your work...

Pen nubs wear out kinda quickly (three replacements are included, however) ; Touch control hasn't proved to be a useful feature on a desktop pc- its far to 'jerky'. Since a mouse works so much better, I just ended up disabling it ; At this point in...
