It's spiffy, it's accurate, and it's exactly what it should be.Ĭlick Here to see more reviews about: Wacom Intuos2 6x8 Graphics Tablet (USB) It's really a personal matter, but for me 6x8 was a perfect fit of size and price.Īll in all, I have nothing bad to say about the Intuos2 except just maybe the price. Remember, the longer the stroke you must make the more chance your lines will end up wiggly. There are stories of people paying upwards of $600 for huge tablets, then being highly disappointed because it's too large. Also, some people actually prefer the smaller tablets because a smaller movement gives them larger control. I personally use my tablet on a pullout keyboard tray, and the 6x8 tablet fits perfectly. As I said at the start, 6x8 is only the active size. The last issue to consider is what size to get. However, the qualities of the tablets are wonderful. A little competition wouldn't hurt prices are quite high at the moment. Wacom is without question the leader of graphic tablets. Although I'm sure bigger and better will come, I don't see older tablets becoming worthless any time soon. And I know the sticker price is high, but I believe one good tablet like the Intuos2 will not only physically last for years, but will stay somewhat current and up to date for many years as well. Soon enough you'll be using it without any effort at all. Don't expect to throw your mouse out the window.Ī lot of people get their first tablet and reject it quickly because it's not exactly how they expect. Many, including myself, use both at once. Most tablet users I know do the same they use the mouse for some tasks and the tablet for others. I myself am I die hard mouse user, I still prefer to use my mouse for work in Photoshop, simply for greater control. This makes it effortless to move around the screen and have the greatest of accuracy. When you hover the stylus above the tablet, up to a good inch or so, the cursor still fully responds without actually marking. Many people ask "how will I know where the cursor will appear when I press on the tablet?" Well, there's an easy answer to that. Not only does it respond to the slightest touch, but it also responds to hovering above the tablet. I honestly believe it will last for years and years. This is great, and extends the life of the tablet dramatically.
Instead, the pressure seems to be done in the stylus, based on how hard the tip of the stylus is being pushed. I'm not 100% sure how the technology works, but the pressure seems to have nothing to do with pushing on the tablet itself. You'll easily adjust to how hard to push with the stylus. However, when using programs like Painter that use the pressure, it's so well implemented it's second nature. It has an impressive 1024 pressure levels, though even when using programs without pressure levels such as oekaki boards online, the difference between a tablet and a mouse is outstanding.
