"Monoprice tablet swags all over Wacom" Sat Apr-28-12 08:39 PM by hardware
So this will probably come rippling through your Tumblr next week if you follow any artists. Apparently the features on this thing are either greater or equal to the Wacom for a substantially cheaper price (between $55 and $100 depending on what size you want).
I needed a tablet and had the money so I put some down on the bigger model. I'll let you know how it fares Thursday or whenever I get it. May even YouTube it.

installed the Wacom and UC Logic drivers cause the ones on the cd are assjuice. i gotta get used to it cause i'm on this gargantuan mac so it takes 2 hours to get from one side of the screen to the other
weight is awesome doesn't feel cheap the battery slot for the pen is kinda cheap but once its closed its fine pen is great. its off when its not close to the tablet and when its in the pen holder so i'd expect the battery to last a couple of months

i don't know why I thought it was smaller than my medium sized Wacom :/ i was looking to use this as my smaller portable but it is the same exact size as my wacom oh well :/ i may still play with it a bit before sending it back though

>you're not in the market for the Bamboo
Yeah I actually bought the bamboo about a month ago but wasn't all the way happy with it compared to my Wacom. Was planning on taking the bamboo back if this had worked out. Oh well. Lol

>Smaller ones do nothing but frustrate the shit out of me
perfect size for what I was looking for compared to my intuos
I don't use mine for drawing as much --- mostly selections.
So the smaller size isn't too bad although i do notice the difference.
For my day to day i still use the intuos though.

again. Also, I think I'm pretty good at shapes an shit on the mousepad, but using a pen on certain shapes and designs would definitely make my life easier. I may try this out, at that price, it's a win win. Even if I don't use it all the time, having it around doesn't seem like a bad move at all.

Other than that, it works great. He showed me some sketches he did with the tablet and the shading and detail work looks like he used a pencil. I am sold on these.
