I am looking to buy a Pressure-Sensitive Graphics Tablet and I was wondering which was the best for you money. I have about 200 (usd) to spend on one at the moment.

Asked by hurleygrlblink (185points) March 1st, 2010

I have researched some, but do not know much of the brands, I have seem Wacom, Bamboo, and DigiPro in some articles, but I would rather hear from personal experience. Pros and Cons, ect.

HP is junk, if they even sell a stand alone.

Wacom Intuos is desirable but a bit pricey. For starters, you can check out the DigiPro drawing tablets, it is inexpensive, yet capable. It’s not flashy or feature packed, but it does the job it’s supposed to do. Price range, depending on size: $25–50.

Buy the cheapet one that works, used. Create some sort of art, or rendering that you can sell, and with that money buy whatever the Google artist uses.

Genius is the best brand, that and bamboo but I would recomend genius.I have one from them 14 by 12 or something like that, it was 40 bucks. If u want touch screen I have this bamboo one for 999 but it’s really nice

I just bought a Genius MousePen and I like it, so far. The pressure sensitivity works well with Photo Shop, but not with Paint Shop Pro (which is what I’m used to) I’ll just have to learn to use Photo Shop.

This was my first picture, when I was playing with the sensitivity of the pen.

I bought an Aiptek (model 600U) a couple of years ago and it hasn’t let me down since. Works brilliantly with Paint Tool Sai and Photoshop (7, I’m not sure about later versions). Cost me £55 so that’s.. about $80?
