well i traced the manufac. site down (didn't jump in my face on first searching):

i see the pen has a battery in it - that to me is a non-starter. i've been using wacom's for years, but tried a few others when they 'looked' like a serious challenge. so far i haven't found one that stood up to the test of time.

i have a feeling that this one 'looks' right, but in practice might well turn out like the other wannabe's.

my advice to anyone thinking about it, or any tablet is to GET A HANDS ON trial. it really is the only way to know if the pressure sensitivity is useful, whether the balance and weight of the pen is comfortable (and likely to remain so for long periods), and the general overall build feels professional....

i'm still working with a wacom from 8 years ago, and bought a bamboo a couple of years back for my wife. i'm now thinking of getting one (bamboo) for myself.

I did a search for other prices for the tablet. Ranges between $150-200. Manufacture has specs on it if you search for the tablet's name in yahoo (didn't try google).

If the quality is equal to the grammar in the product summary....

"TOOYA PRO gives you the most comfort that you never feel while working on the projects"

...buyer beware. :)

...but that makes sense...

OK, does anyone have one of these and can report to us?

But folks, you get what you pay for. You can't equally compare this to Wacom's offerings, because they would be much more expensive.

Wouldn't that be a major reason to NOT use Vegas too?????

I'd say it depends on what you're looking for. One time I had a cheap $30 serial hookup tablet. It did just what I wanted: let me draw in Painter. Pressure worked, all that stuff (under 98/2k). From what I've been reading on reviews, people have been comparing this to tablets $300+ and also saying it doesn't recognize their hand writing. Some people complained certain versions of vista (from the sounds of it, all but ultimate) don't use all the features of a tablet.

The cheapest Wacom @ newegg is ~$70 & less then 1/2 the size. Closest one to this size is $550.

The only thing I'm confused about is what the "refills x 2" are for. What does a computer tablet need refills for????

probably tips for the pen - they do wear out. my wacom came with spares.

if you paid for vegas then you aught to pay for a decent pad, period. it'll certainly outlast a few vegas upgrades, save you from rsi, give you a whole new outlook, and can be fun.

don't bother if you're a gamer ;P)

btw, you REALLY need a hands on - size does NOT equate to practicality. i used to have a 9 X 12, but since i don't do ps design work anymore, i find an a5 more than adequate on a dual monitor set up.

Seems to be not a terrible tablet.

not to be too disparaging....

the comments about the batteries, and heavy, bulky pen should prompt further investigation before blowing even $40.....
