Rating: - Great Cursor Control
A great tool to let my fingers operate cursor controls more easily, therefore more accurately. Flat plane mouse control usually left errors that were hard to avoid and too tedious to fully correct. In my Photoshop Elements program I get better results in less time.
Rating: - Excellent!
Works well in Photoshop, and suits a budding graphic artist's needs well, as well as a quite functional and novel mouse. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but then is quite easy.
One surprise: While the Bamboo Fun software came on a CD, the Photoshop and other programs came on a *DVD*. We had no DVD drives at home, so I had to buy a 4GB thumb drive and use a friend's drive to read the DVD. Rather frustrating, and not at all clear from the online documentation.

I have a Wacom Intuos 3 6X11 tablet. I absolutely love it, but it is not very portable.

The only complaint I have is that none of the bundled software lets me write notes and store them as pdf documents ... Read More

Hi,
I have to say I do like this tablet for the money, the only thing you should realize is that there is, I believe, ONE MAJOR DESIGN FLAW.
The USB connector is on the top LEFT Side, which means for the 90-93 % of us whom are RIGHT HANDED and want to keep the tablet to the Right of the Keyboard...The Cord is TOTALLY in the Way.
Its a good tablet, just a very bad placement of USB cable. Should have been in the Middle to accommodate placement on either side of keyboard. ... Read More
