Home > Consumer Reviews > Adesso CYBER TABLET 12X9" GRAPHICS/DRAWING TABLET WITH 2-BTN USB PEN AND MOUSE ( CYBERTABLET 12000 )

This tablet is very fun to work with. You can annotate digital pictures and just draw pictures to send via e-mail. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to draw, doodle or write.

Daughter is graphic artist and is very happy with this product. The pen is very cheaply made and within 90 days had to buy replacements (sold on the web for 9.99, so we bought two and paid shipping once). Mouse was cast aside from day one as it tends to interfere with the operation of the tablet (making the pointer jump around, etc).

I did my research and I love this thing. Sure it's not a wacom but who can afford a decent sized wacom? I love the size of this plus it has link option up top so you can select a program, internet, e-mail, or open, close, and save right from your tablet. awesome! the mouse doesn't work well. the pen needs a battery so no eraser. probably the only downside and what a minor one. also the tablet can't sit close to a crt monitor which I have. But with it I can lean back and work so again who cares?

I had never used a graphics tablet, although I have drawn, sketched, and painted for years. After several months of research, I settled on this one. The price was a factor, as I'm on a tight budget.

Cons:
-The tablet is rather large, so it can take up quite a bit of desktop.
-If you're heavy handed like me, you will leave tiny scratches on the surface of the tablet as you draw. So far the scratches have NOT had an effect on the performance, but they are visible.
-The mouse is mostly worthless, and the software isn't exactly spectacular.
-The pen needs a battery.
-*Perhaps this is an isolated incident, but when using this tablet with MS Paint, it requires more pressure than with other programs.*

Pros:
-The active area on this tablet is huge. Everyone draws differently, but having so much room to work is phenomenal.
-The pen has a nice weight, and is nicely shaped.
-The software was simple to install and compatible with my PC and laptop, both of which have Vista.
-There are no dead spots on the active area.
-The tracking is smooth and responsive.

As a newcomer to digital art, I recommend this tablet to anyone new to the medium. It works incredibly well with GIMP, but I have not tried Photoshop. Overall an incredible value.

This is certainly the best PC tablet that money can buy. I searched for a few others and found that their overall size and capabilities were lower then the Adesso Cyber Tablet. I would definitely recommend this product to friends and family.
