Review: Outstanding tablet for non-professionals - I bought this tablet for my Graphics Design class in college. We have some Wacom Intuos 4 in the graphics lab, I really enjoyed using it for Illustrator and InDesign assignments, so I wanted one for my own use. This is definitely not an Intuos, but it is really good. Since I only have used Intuos for about three weeks before buying the Capture, there aren't any feature that I miss (except the smaller size, but more on that later). Some reviewers mentioned lack of eraser as a big deal, maybe because I never used it on Intuos, I don't miss it at all. Erasers are only a shortcut key away anyways. Maybe for a full time designer that spend 10+ hours with their tablets, an eraser a big deal, but for casual users it's totally fine. Tablet size is enough for casual/non-professional use. Be aware that not all of the gray surface in the pictures is usable, about 75% of the total area. It is clearly marked by lines on the edges of the working rectangle. Speaking about the size of tablet, the screen size should also be taken into consideration. I use the Capture on my 16" laptop, and I feel that's a good combination. We have 27" iMacs in the graphics lab, so using Intuos 4 would make more sense on those huge screens. I'm sure even with smaller screens, bigger tablets = more precision = better results, but once again, for beginners, Capture's area is big enough. This tablet allows me to make some decent drawings on Illustrator. Using a tablet doesn't enhance your drawing skills, but it is definitely much better than drawing with a mouse. There's a learning curve to it, but it's not impossibly difficult. I read a lot of Wacom users complain about the nib wear on the latest generation of Wacom tablets. I haven't used it long enough to comment on nib wear, but it doesn't seem to be used at all after two weeks of use. Perhaps I just don't use it as much as those hard-core design enthusiasts. I like having the 'paper-like feel' drawing surface, but personally I don't like that feel when I'm using it for InDesign layout purposes. I'd rather have more 'glide' on the surface. So I bought a clear plastic folder, cut a tablet-sized piece and taped it over my Capture. It glides around easier (and perhaps saves the nib from wearing out too quickly). The folder only cost me 50 cents. Also, if I need to have that paper-like feel for precision drawing, I'll just remove the plastic cover and re-tape it afterwards. If you want to do so, use a low-tack tape to prevent tape residue build up on the tablet surface. For me, the biggest advantage of using a tablet is less fatigue on your wrists. When you're clicking and dragging a lot, such as when you're doing page layout in InDesign, using a tablet will be much easier on your wrists, and also much more precise. The multi-touch feature is a nice addition to the tablet; sometimes I use it for browsing. I still need to practice the multi-touch gestures, such as flick and scroll up/down, but so far I found the scroll and zoom feature really helpful when I browse. I didn't buy the tablet to use it as a full time track pad, but for me it is an useful extra feature. Overall, I'd highly recommend this tablet if you're a beginner / early enthusiast of digital graphics design. Or if you're looking for a giant trackpad. If you are a serious enthusiast, perhaps you'd like to consider Bamboo Create (a bigger version of Capture) or Intuos.
Review: Very good! - I first got this tablet for more convenience and also digitalize my writing/pictures. First off, the shipping with desertcart prime was amazing fast and I received it in a very short 2 days. My first impression was that the capture was much bigger than i expected, which was nice. Everything was in wonderful condition as well. The product itself is very sleek, light, and clean. The pen feels very good and the contact with the tablet surface is great in imitating the pencil-on-paper feel. The tablet is very responsive, and contrary to some reviews, the touch seems to be a major benefactor for me. Although i have only used the tablet for about an hour, the overall feel and results have been amazing. I tested the artistic aspect in paint tool SAI which worked great, although there is a slight learning curve. The pressure sensitivity and response never ceases to amaze me. If there is anything i would say that i disliked, it would be the long set up time (it may be because I'm still running on windows XP ^^') and how if you press too gently, the stroke will not connect. Overall, I am definitely satisfied and I hope it lasts, as many reviews complain about the durability and usb port. There is a slight wiggle area for the port, but i have dropped the tablet (on carpet, if it matters lol) directly on the wire-to-port area while it was connected, and the tablet seems fine. If you are an aspiring/emerging artist/photo editor, or just want this product as a digital writing tool, this product is great and perfect in its performance to price ratio. EDIT (1 week later): The tablet seems to be working fine. However, I no longer use Bamboo dock and instead just use the customizable pop-up menu that you can set to a pen button. I have experienced problems when the touch randomly staying frozen in Paint Tool SAI, while the pen works absolutely fine. TIP: Just in case if the cord-to-tablet connection accumulates more wiggle space, you can just wrap scotch tape around the connector (not directly on the metal lols) a few times and it fits nicely into the the rectangular slot. The wiggle is completely gone. Don't use too much tape, or the connector won't fit. I also made a little pen stand out of bottle caps because the fabric loop was a bit tight and annoying, but this problem is minor compared to the cord wiggle, which could permanently damage the tablet. Hope this helps :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wireless mode a good mouse replacement?
*by S***1 on February 3, 2012*

I got the pad with the idea of making use of the Windows 7 multitouch gestures, and also possibly making it my main pointing device for the computer I was making. I bought the pad, and the wireless conversion kit. I think the usb cord is a bit short... long enough to reach a really close desk, but yeah. I had some problems getting the wireless to work, but after those were ironed out, I put it thru the paces. The multitouch gestures work fine, and the pad is very responsive to them. A successive thump of two fingers for right clicking, a two fingered slide for scrolling... those are the ones that I use the most and they work great the first time I hit them, everytime for the most part. The right click gesture sometimes gets confused with the rotate picture one but I learned that its more of a timing issue, so its fine. The buttons on the side are for manual clicking things, and the top ones can be set to do things, but I havent played with that quite yet. I havent used the pen to do art and photo editing stuff yet either, but another part of why I bought it is that you get a free copy of Photoshop Elements and some other programs with it. Really couldnt beat that, getting a program I was planning on buying anyway with the pad I was buying. Anyway I did test the pen, and I like how it has that real pen resisting paper feel to it. I dont know how long it will take to wear down the tips but I think the 3 extra that it comes with will last me for quite sometime. One of the only things that I don't like is the fact that the effective area of the pad is smaller than the actual size of the touch surface. There are little bounding box brackets on each corner so you can look down to see the effective area, but you only know when you have left it while looking at the screen when the cursor stops moving. I would be fine with the actual pad being shrunk down to be only as big around as the effective area and the buttons without the useless border thing, or if the effective area was expanded to fit the whole pad. Even without such drastic changes, making a raised line or some bumps around the boarder of the effective area would be fine too. Pen or finger, not knowing where the outline is till you cross it isn't so good. And so dear tablet, you are hereby docked one star for not being clear about where my fingers should and should not go. ^_^ Secretly though I got his thing to add to the fun of playing the Majong game that comes with Win7. Touching the tiles to clear them makes that fun game more fun, yep.
