It also had to have programmable, multi-function buttons- as I am a gadget geek and just love things like that.

It had to be portable (meaning not bulky or have to be in a cramped 'button-will always be depressed' position when in my laptop case. I had some VERY specific features in mind when I began my search. Just the button, not the track pad, but trying to reconfigure my trackpad AND my memorized actions to accommodate no button was proving to be stressful.

Due to an unfortunate accident, my mouse button on my MacBook Pro is damaged. The price is right, the product is really quite good, and it gives the user a much smoother and more natural artistic stroke, and should prove helpful for those with wrist pain from a 'flat' mouse. Not sure why I waited so long (over ten years, yikes).

Probably not a big deal for most people, but if your computer is already tending toward 'maxed out', you may want to consider this.

* In Windows 7, installs quite a lot of processes (five) for a total of around 57MB of resident memory usage.

Unless you have a big desk, there's not a lot of room for both tools on your preferred side. * One is best off making a choice whether to use a traditional mouse for certain functions, or 'penning' instead. It works, but knowing just where to place it is difficult * The eraser function is a bit squirrely. * Integral pen storage (the little red 'tag') * Can be used at any angle (which sounds obvious, but that means you can use it in ways and in situations when you cannot use a mouse) * The activity light shows you when it's running. * The 'writing' surface is a surprisingly real-feeling plastic 'paper' that provides just the right drag for the pen nib. * Seamlessly integrates with the computer's OS and apps such as Photoshop(tm) - they're ready for it, just waiting * Makes certain activities in Photoshop(tm) a breeze, such as brush strokes, which I would suggest is a primary purpose for this device * Can act like a mouse, where you're holding the pen and not having your wrist at an odd angle * Works with every app I have tried, and I bet some I haven't tried * Device and USB setup was very simple, no issues or incompatibilities with Win7 or PS * Very lightweight, easy to hold, move or re-position as needed That takes some getting used to, but that's training ME, not an issue with this pad. Well, let me be honest, I'm not completely used to it: there's definitely an art of drawing on a blank pad and not seeing what you drew (on the pad) but instead, watching it happen onscreen. I should have sprung for it many years ago. Tldr The tablet is excellent, but the sheet amount of soul-crushing disappointment you experience when you come to realize that after your first, your system is crippled to the point of never being able to support another Wacom tablet makes me wonder if perhaps it is better to have never loved at all. In a desperate final attempt, I contacted customer service, detailing my every problem and steps I took to try to fix it, and was given a generic response that didn't even encompass the problems I was getting and a generic follow-up that basically summarized to 'it isn't working because you are a failure at computers'. It is apparently semicommon knowledge that Wacom has troubles when multiple tablets of theirs touch a single computer.

I was able to install the tablet onto my sister's machine with terrifying grace and ease, which means the problem wasn't with the tablet itself.

However, the software and driver issues make even generally optimistic and patient people feel a deeply-rooted desire to slay kittens brew in the depths of their soul. I'd shoved my borrowed tablet into my backpack, plugged in and unplugged it every day and none of the connections went loose or anything. The hardware, as far as I know, is excellent. Despite enlisting the help of the entire internet, wiping every possible Wacom driver from my system, and doing everything short of clean installing my OS, there was only a blinking white light and eternal sadness. I was so pleased that I bought one, but after hours of confusion, anger, denial and general frustration, I was unable to make the tablet talk to my computer. It's perfect for digital painting, sketches, photoshopping mustaches onto your friends, touchpad replacement, what have you. I originally borrowed a version of this tablet from a friend, and proceeded to keep it for most of a year because I loved it so much.
