I am completely satisfied with this. As a matter of fact I think it is probably the best thing that I bought last year. After using it for like 4 months it still hasn't lost any of the fun. It works so much better than the mouse for editing and definitely for anything painting/drawing related. Grab one ;o)

Excellent product. Easy to install and use. Would recommend this to anyone who is contemplating purchasing a graphics tablet.

This is my first tablet and I have to say it exceeded my expectations. When I asked around, almost everyone recommended a Wacom tablet to me, so I looked around for a tablet that wasn't too expensive considering this was my first one. I found that the Bamboo Fun (medium) was the best tablet suited for me. The blue color was a really nice shade and the medium size was perfect for me. In my opinion, this is a great product for art students and graphic designers although professionals might want to use Wacom's Intuos3 tablet instead. I was really happy that I received my Bamboo Fun tablet in only 2 days.
When I opened it, Wacom showed me that they put a lot of effort into packaging their products. The 2 CD-ROMs, tablet, pen, mouse, and pen holder were neatly slotted into their own sections. The installation was a piece of cake, and the tutorial was very easy to follow and helpful for first time tablet users. The tablet has 4 buttons and a scroll wheel, called "Express Keys" can be customized to do all sorts of things like opening programs and files, type keystrokes, or switch applications. The scroll wheel is kind of like an I-pod's scroll wheel and can be set to scroll up and down or zoom in. The pen had a nice grip and was comfortable to hold. Then pen also had 2 buttons attached on the side of it which could be customized just like the Express Keys on the tablet itself. The cool part was that the pen had an eraser on the top too. The mouse is just a battery-free wireless mouse without a lot of buttons and functions. It must be used on the tablet though.
The programs that came with the tablet were very nice although they were a bit out-dated. Photoshop Elements 5.0, Corel Painter 3.0, and Nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 GE were nice programs to play around with even though I prefer Open Canvas over Photoshop.
All in all, I guess I'm really glad I got this tablet. It is well priced and works perfectly fine although it might lag once in a while. The buttons function perfectly and the programs are fun to use. I recommend this tablet is great for both casual doodlers/computer users and graphic designers!!!

using it.

I don't have any complains. The board works as described. I like being able to draw on a board like this, the response is good too. Good choice for one who is just getting into this type of drawing.
