After digging around on the Internet, I found out that not only is this the exact same thing that Monoprice offers (just rebranded) but I also found a helpful pdf ([...]). So I looked again at the drivers offered on the website and saw that it did, indeed, have Win 7 64 bit compatibility; therefore, the most likely culprit was probably the fact that I had installed the tablet software on the outdated CD and then installed the more updated driver from the website without uninstalling the first one - mostly because I assumed that it would simply overwrite it. So I uninstalled everything and reinstalled the updated website driver and now it works! Pressure sensitivity was seen in Photoshop as well.
----------------------------------------
After some fiddling, I managed to get it working on my Windows 7 basic netbook. The drivers seem to be incompatible with Windows 7 64 bit, so that was something of a letdown. Can't say anything about the "1024 points of sensitivity" because all I've got on my netbook is Paint. Thankfully, I'm not an artist so that doesn't really matter to me.
Pen and pen-holder seem rather cheap, tablet seems sturdy enough. Packaging and instructions (both hard copy and digital) were written in poor English. CD came with drivers and additional programs for the tablet. Drivers can also be found at uc-logic dot com.
The tablet and pen are both very finicky, leaving it hard to do anything really extensive or detailed. When working on a single sketch, I'd often have to stop and start it up again because the tablet would decide to start acting up or not respond. Writing with it was a pain as well, even with handwriting recognition software.
All in all, it wasn't too bad up until I lost the pen, which now renders it as a paperweight because getting a new pen for such a tablet seems illogical entirely. If you want a cheap tablet to do basic stuff with, this'll tide you over until you can get something good. If you're meaning to do anything real, wait until you can afford a better one.
My tablet arrived in July 2013 with pretty much full instructions. I was able to set it up without any of the hassles others had.
What you do first is install the software from the CD-ROM. There is a choice of two drivers - I chose "XP 64-bit."
Then I plugged the USB lead into my computer.
Then I added the battery to the pen.
And it works!
The main problem people seem to have is with the pen battery. You pull the pen apart by pulling the black section away from the silver section. Place the battery in the metal part of the silver section. Now we come to the troublesome area. Align the pen top (silver) so that the clip is in line with the mouse buttons on the lower end of the pen (black). You will see if you look closely that there is a ridge along the pen, starting at the clip and going along it to the lower end of the buttons. This ridge should be in line to close the pen. Because the battery does not fit well in its holder you may need to push a little, but then the top slides down into place.
The person who couldn't write his signature may have had a problem with the program he was trying to write to, or the size of the tablet surface. Because the surface is so small, when I write my signature it comes out four times larger on the screen.
And the person who said that the indicator light doesn't come on, I'm not sure it's even an indicator light at all. Without dismantling the tablet, I can't tell.
So when you've got it going, what's it like? With only a short time to use it, I can't say very much, other than it works. I tried Paint in Windows, and I don't know if Paint lacks touch sensitivity, but the lines I drew were either on or off. But I have a few problems with it, and nothing that's a fault purely with the tablet, when it costs so little.
The instructions explain pretty much all of the above, but are still confusing because the one sheet describes several different models.
I used to have a Wacom, and this tablet definitely shows it's the bargain basement. The pen should be redesigned to screw apart, and the battery holder should be able to fit the battery better. The battery in the pen works whenever there is pressure on the tip, so I have to store it upside down. It would be nice to know if the pen holder doesn't press on the tip.
But my major problem with this tablet is my own fault - it's just too small. It's only slightly smaller than the Wacom Bamboo, though. I would suggest a tablet that's around twice the size. Amazon has them for around ten dollars extra. I think I would choose the Tursion Graphic Drawing Tablet 8 X 6 Inches , although I've had no experience of it.
But for the price I'll forgive all it's faults. Well worth a try.
And I almost forgot - I have Windows 8 64-bit, and the software and drivers worked fine.
