Wacom ACK40401

Works fine

Cord to charge the battery was easy to lose. If anything, make sure you keep all your gear near by or buy a case for it so you won't lose parts.

Major issues

none

Purchased this device first for a wacom bamboo create 670 i would be getting later mid may. Not only does it disconnect mid-draw but it does so on a full battery and after multiple driver re-installs in an attempt to fix it searches on the internet...

Does the job

-Disappointed in the battery life indicator as it's on the side and uses the pc for notification. Not a flaw with the kit itself but a flaw with the tablet design. -Better visibility of connection status as it's not easy to catch the soft dim white...

-No Wires. -Long battery Life. -Nicely priced for a Wacom accessory.

-Wireless distance is not that far without a line of sight to the receiver, Easily achieved with front usb ports.

Performs the bare minimum

I do love my tablet, but the cable wacom includes with tablets is ridiculously short in order to coerce people into buying this, and this barely performs the described function - signal distance is so short you're basically still stuck at the desk. May...

It does cut the cable... a bit...

The Signal doesn't even carry accurately over 12ft (TV-to-couch) which was disappointing to say the least... and the battery life leaves MUCH to be desired after degrading rapidly, to less than 30 minutes of life in under 3 months of use...

Works great. One little gotcha to be aware of though.

Installation couldn't be easier for this. You pretty much just plug it into the tablet and computer and it works. There's only one gotcha that I wish didn't exist. Technically you're going to need to hang onto the USB cable because the only way to...

It kinda cuts the cord for the most part. It works well and there doesn't seem to be any input lag either.

It will only charge when plugged into a computer's USB port.

Wacom ACK40401

Performs as prescribed. Battery lasts a decent amount of time. If basing it on continuous use, I would say 1 full day.

The receiver causes boot up issues when turning on your computer from a power down (at least I've noticed this issue with windows 7. Doesn't happen with windows 8). It causes the computer to take up to 10 minutes to boot up.

Great Addition

Great to have since the usb cable that came with the tablet was very short. Dosen't add any lag like I thought it might. Charges pretty quick.

Receiver dongle is tiny and can be easily lost.

Incredible shipping

I never was any good with art but I love painting with a tablet. Its good its sold without the tablet, same with the case, keeps cost down. Some people have large laptops and can fit both a 10#+ laptop with tablet.

Shipped to Okinawa Japan in less than a week, quite unreal.

Didn't come charged, no biggie but annoying.
