Monoprice tablet review

This is my individual review of the tablet sold by Mono price. It is the one with eight hotkeys. I will link to a place where it can be purchased from an further info can be found as far as technical specs go. http://amzn.com/B004C4ZT0G <-- Amazon.

Well I did have my doubts about this tablet considering I am sort of what you would call a person that swears by wacom, this tablet for its price is nothing short of amazing. I was given the opportunity to test it out while visiting myloveless  myloveless .

Aside from the pen requiring a very small AAA battery, the pen does not have an eraser, and that the active workspace has pen activated shortcuts, as far as anesthetics go and the feel of the surface of the active workspace, there are not many differences between two. When I say between the two I am comparing between my Wacom intuos four and the Mono price previously linked above.

As far as actually working on the tablet the pressure sensitivity is on par. While I dislike the fact that there are not many interchangeable nib options for the pen as far as my knowledge goes, that would not be a problem for someone who has used Wacom, and not explored different nibs. But for me personally I use two pens when I work, one with a soft nib and one with a plastic nib. The plastic nib is also more harsh on your surface, which makes it more likely to scratch.

The hotkeys are frustrating to me personally. They have a habit of resetting themselves if you set them into something more personalized. And they often had a habit of not working all of the time as well. I personally use the hotkeys on my Wacom tablet so frequently that if for some reason a program malfunctions and will not allow me to use the hotkeys I will reset my computer entirely and then go on with working. Again however if you are someone who does not frequently use hotkeys already this would not be a problem for you.

I guess in summary to keep from rambling any further than I probably already have,

TL DR: for about the same price as one of Wacom's cheaper choices. This is the far better choice. With 2048 different pressure levels, a textured surface, and being under $100 it's kind of hard to beat. Not to mention that the active workspace is far less arthritis inducing than that of the bamboo, allowing for a larger range of motion.

**It should also be mentioned that the drivers between the two are not able to be integrated. You must choose between Wacom drivers or Mono price drivers. Trying to keep both on your computer at once will cause both tablets not to work correctly.

{{There are cheaper version of this tablet of this brand as well. It is probably worth giving them a look. if you dont use hotkeys you can save even more by getting a tablet without them))
