Works great for the price! [Posted on 2008-10-30]
I wasn't expecting much from such a cheap tablet, but it's much better than smaller, more expensive store bought tablets I've owned. It does what it's supposed to, but you'll have to play with it a bit before you get your settings just right for normal use in Photoshop or whatever you may use it for.
Great product for the money.

I bought this for my son becasue he is now into Manga. He loves the product. He loves the fact that it is so slim and i think it is a great prodcut for a wonderful price. I would reccommend this product to anyone.

I bought this as a gift for my adult son whose hobbies are sketching and photography. He said it will be useful both at work and home. Its an amazing tool and I'm thinking about getting one for myself.
Mac users, beware [Posted on 2008-11-15]
Notice that the good reviews come from windows users.
I got this as a birthday present. Unfortunately, even though the product claims to support Mac OSX, it really doesn't. Here is my list of problems:
* The CD included is ANCIENT. Forget the free software, the CD does not contain the mac versions.
* Even the most recent drivers from their website are bad. They mess up some permissions and upon installation and reboot, you need another reboot to fix them.
* It is NOT compatible with INK. That means, forget the handwriting recognition, unless you have some other program of your own.
* The pen works as a mouse (after the painful driver installation), but the pressure sensitivity feature does not work in photoshop. This is quite possibly due to the inability to install elements and the other software from the CD, since they don't have the MAC versions.
* Also it frequently causes photoshop to hang for possibly ~30sec at a time. You do a couple of brushstrokes and then the program just freezes for what seems FOREVER.
* If you decide to unplug the tablet from your computer, something that you NEED to do all the time if you have a laptop, it will only work again upon plugin 1 in 30 times. The rest of the times, the only solution was to RE-install the drivers and reboot twice (because of the permissions problem).
I just got today a bamboo fun from wacom, and it works SO seamlessly. It was more expensive, but I'm sure that the simple bamboo (the non-"fun" version), works equally well, it's just less fancy looking, and it seems to cost more or less the same as this product.
I'm returning the genius. I really consider the mac compatibility false advertisement.
Wacom at a fourth of its cost [Posted on 2008-11-25]
I am studying to be in Graphic Design, and Visual Marketing. I needed a Graphic Tablet fast and like every other college student, struggling and poor. If I got a WACOM it would mean water and ramen for 3 months straight. I came across this with its outstanding reviews and the price. There was no way nearly 170 ppl were wrong. I decided to take my chances and very happy I did. It came quick and impress how nice and big the tablet was with Pen, and mouse. I don't use the mouse but definitely the pen. I put a fully charged AAA battery in the pen and immediately impressed. Vista recognized it and installed the driver. I installed the Install CD, but wasn't really necessary. Their software is out of date so you need to go to their homepage and find this model and download from there. Works great with Adobe Illustrator, Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 2009, and Paint. Trust me if you are looking in the market for a cheap graphic tablet than this is the product for you. You cannot go wrong with this
