 Great product January 8, 2009
I bought the Genius MousePen because it was affordable I had no idea what a great tool it would be for design. Im am very satisfied with my purchase. Thanks
Great Gift for anyone who loves to draw January 7, 2009
Brought this Mouse Pen Graphic Tablet for our daughters christmas present, and she been drawing everyday since christmas. She loves everything about the Graphic Tablet and she says it lightweight, portable and has a large drawing surface.
Very impressed January 6, 2009
Granted...I've never owned a Graphic Tablet before, so I have nothing to compare it to. But I honestly don't know how a more expensive product could work any better. The action is very very sensitive and precise. Extremely happy with this purchase!
Genius Mousepen 8 x 6 January 6, 2009
I purchased this item as an xmas 2008 present for myself. I have been long curious about graphic tablets and decided, after reading the reviews, $60 was not too much to risk.
The tablet worked perfectly out of the box. Vista requires no drivers to load for basic mousepen operation. Vista recognizes the device as a tablet and even brings up a "Tablet PC Input Panel" for other uses of the tablet. I have NOT loaded the CD software, so I cannot comment on what it contains. There were no problems with dead batteries as I read in a few other reviews. Yes, the battery holding mechanism within the pen does look a bit cheesy, but works fine. The wireless mouse included is actually a delight to use, but I can't see using it that often since I primarily use a laptop with integral touchpad.
I have drawn in several paint programs and have been quite delighted in how smoothly this works in comparison to a mouse or touch pad. I believe it was $61 (with shipping) well spent.
The only drawbacks I can see is that there appear to be no replacement tips for the pen (having GOOGLEd this query)....but did find a place that sold replacement pens for $20. I have NO idea how long the tip will last, but I'm guessing probably (for most of us) it's not a worry.
I give the tablet/pen/mouse 4 stars. I'm satisfied with it.
Bang for the Buck ! January 4, 2009
I received the Genius 6 x 8 tablet for Christmas ( which I begged my wife for lol ) I have a lot of inking projects that I'm committed to and also for my art in general . I have previously owned a lower-end Wacom tablet and right now I own a PC with 256mb of RAM!( which I dearly ,dearly thank the LORD for ) Now that being said here's the skinny :
Physically the plastic doesn't feel as thick as the Wacom graphite or as I imagine the bamboo (but its still very good ) but nice and large working space . The included software also allows you to customize the size of your working area within the 6 x 8 of the pad . On the tablet you have 29 "hot cells" which have preset shortcuts or you can customize them to your liking ( cool beans ! )
Now how it actually works :
It does some getting used to but I was very pleasantly surprised how well it works for the price!I haven't used a tablet for many years but after a few days of constant use I started to get the hang of the pen and how I should hold it . I used it in Photoshop CS 3 and Paint Shop Pro X2 and I found for what ever reason whether it was my skill or the lack thereof with the pen ( lol ) that the pen worked better in PS right of the bat than in PSP X2 . But after a few days whether I was getting the hang of it or what , I found the lines improved in PSP X2 . Now for those that are like myself , advanced in using pen and ink but beginners in tablet use I also suggest getting Manga Pro debut or EX and here's why : the Manga studio programs self corrects your lines if their shaky ! Go on to YouTube and check out for yourself the video tutorials owners have posted .
I really really am happy with the tablet and recommend it to anyone above the Wacom "inexpensive " tablets . As an artist on a budget you really can't wrong .
Peace
