This is the 1st Pen Pad I have bought for a PC, and for a frist-timer using one, this one was very nice. Easy to set-up, and fairly easy to use. The price was just right too. So, if you're thinking about trying one, but don't want to spend lots of money, then this is the one for you.

My daughter got this and absolutely loves it. For only 40 bucks, she can now draw much more detailed pictures on the computer and she can share them with friends via instant message or email. For a pro, this is not what you want obviously because it doesn't have all the bells and whistles. For a hobbyist or a child, this is great. It's affordable and decent quality and does its job even better than I expected.

3.0 out of 5 stars too glitchy, December 23, 2008

i think it was fine when i first bought it - it's been some time since i've moved around my office and picked up drawing in photoshop for fun, but when I first got it I think it worked fine. Now, ive been trying to use it for the past 2 days with new batteries in the pen and it just glitches out. you'll start drawing and the pen won't work, or you'll attempt to draw and it just wont mark it in photoshop, it shows the pen moving but no ink is put down. i'd really recommend a different product other than this. i guess it shows you get what you pay for.
