| jhcashman's Full Review: Wacom Graphire Pen & Mouse Set |
The Wacom Graphire Pen & Mouse Set is perfect for everyone. At around $75 dollars it is an excellent deal. Usually you would pay that just for a cordless, batteryless, ball-less mouse. The set comes in lots of neon colors to add a little color to the boring beige box that is your computer. It takes up almost no space and simply replaces the space taken up by your mouse pad. There is so much you can do with this set.
The wireless and batteryless pen is really cool. It comes with programmable DuoSwitch, built-in eraser and 512 levels of pressure sensitivity. With it you can draw, sketch, color, shade and many more in your favorite graphics program. (painter is included in the software bundle if you don't have a graphics program). You can also write free hand notes to yourself or write documents using the pen instead of typing.
The mouse has 3 buttons and a scrolling wheel. The scroll speed and buttons are all customizable. Like the pen it is also wireless and batteryless. The mouse is one of the most accurate with 1,015 lines per inch of resolution for precise and smooth pointing. Since it has no-ball and uses LCD to track your movement it tracks smoothly and never clogs up.
The tablet features clear plastic overlay for tracing and a detachable tablet pen stand. The tablet is connected to the computer via a cable to the USB or serial port. The whole set is the size of a mouse pad to save space.
The set is compatible with macs and pcs using the USB port. It installs painlessly in minutes. It also comes with a great software bundle including:
MetaCreations Painter Classic (Mac & PC)
ParaGraph PenOffice SE (PC Only)
Wacom PenTools (Mac & PC)
Wacom Driver and Control Panel (Mac & PC)
Overall this set is worth every penny. It is a must have for graphic designers or anyone who likes to draw. It is also great for everyone else as well. No where have i seen so many great features at this low price.
