Wacom Graphire Tablet

Wacome provides more than 100 million smartphone units with Wacom pen and ink technology. Graphics tablets have traditionally been the domain of high end users; they have not traditionally been seen hooked up to home computers. The Graphire tablet sports a good software bundle, is easy to set up and use, and offers a high degree of customization. While the tablet may be rather small, it is adequate for home use. The Wacom Tablet control panel allows a high degree of customization, and has an intuitive and attractive tabbed interface to boot. The Graphire Pen is a pressure-sensitive freehand tool for image editing and creating natural-looking pen and brush strokes. The buttons on both the pen and mouse are programmable, and both the pen tip and eraser's sensitivity can be adjusted. Another handy feature is the ability to have a custom pop-up menu, triggered by your choice of mouse or pen button. The menu allows you to manually switch between mouse and pen mode, and you can add custom keystrokes or third party macros to it.
