pen tablet

[Rottie]

I am shopping for pen tablet I lost my trusty old Wacom Graphire2 I look at new Wacom Bamboo but it is very expensive for me and casual use.
I have seen some other pen tablet like Vis Tablet, Genius, and Kanvus they have reasonable price I dont know if they are good for causal use?

Hi, Rottie. I guess no one has tried those alternate pads. I'm still using my old Graphire on this machine and even an older PenTablet (CT-U405) on my Win 7 system.

I agree that the new Bamboo is a bit pricey. But, these old dogs do everything I need. Have you check E-Bay for Graphires?

I second corkyg's thoughts on obtaining a used pen tablet. I am also still using a Wacom Graphire3. It's followed me from XP to Vista to 7 to OS X and has worked great on each system. Everyone I know with a pen tablet uses it in professional settings and they all have a Wacom.

Corky I have searched Craigslist and found one but it was sold real fast...I am not sure about ebay I heard bad thing about them cheating on buyers....and also I dont know how ebay works..they changed a lot over the year. By the way I tried out VisTech PenPad I feel like a cheap but I hate battery based stylus pen!

E=Bay is normally a transaction between buyer and seller. I've not had a problem with doing that. E-Bay is only a meeting place - the best thing is a "Buy It Now" item - then it can be done directly between seller and buyer.

I don't think I would like a battery powered stylus. I'm still on Graphire 2.

Wow...like Corky said always look for it at eBay you never know you got a good deal. I check at Craigslist first before buying expensive brand new stuff.
