IBM compatible PC with Pentium processor or faster Great tool for marketing presentations, document annotation with unique bundle software The two buttons of the pen can be programmed as the mouse left and right buttons.ġ02x140mm (4x5.5”) working area for drawing and handwritingĬordless pen has 1024-level pressure sensitivity for all kinds of thickness control While drawing with the digital pen, you can control all kinds of shapes and thickness easily. If you want to buy a tablet with tight budget, I really suggest you try getting a second hand Wacom tablet instead of Genius.The cordless pen features two buttons and 1024 level pressure sensitivity.
I recommend Intuos series the most, with Bamboo Pen and Touch 2nd. The pen tilt issues on Genius pen annoy me the most, while I have no problem with Genius Pen pressure sensitivity. Wacom Pen feels much more natural in my hand than Genius Pen. Intuos has a tilt sensor to simulate a natural brush bristle that has uneven surface at different angles, while Bamboo doesnt.įrom my test, I have decided that I prefer Wacom tablets better than Genius.
The problem can be repeated over and over when drawing a curved stroke, where the pen tilted as our hand rotates.īoth Wacom intuos and Bamboo doesnt have this problem. This is quite annoying as most people will never hold their pen at 90 degree straight. The strokes that I draw snaps into pieces as the pen tilt. However, as the pen tilt 60 degree to 180 degree, the pen fails to register. The brush strokes produced on both Genius is quite good, with variety of strokes width as I play with my hand pressure. The pen also have 2 button, also doesnt fit onto my thumb, it is place higher than my thumb when holding the pen in natural way. Genius M609 Pen design is also like 450, but much bigger and bulky. Genius has recently entered the tablet market and one of their latest is the G-Pen F509 which is small, light, and inexpensive. This has made it difficult for casual artists to justify getting one, until now. However, they have been rather large and very expensive. It also has 2 button, however the button doesnt fit onto my thumb perfectly. Drawing tablets have been around for quite some time. Genius G-Pen 450 Pen is closer to fountain pen shaped, with a handle to hang on our our shirt pocket. The button is ergonomicly design to fit on the side of the thumb, but little bit loose fitting compared to Bamboo.
Wacom Intuos3 Pen is cylinder shaped, longer than Bamboo Pen with rubber grip and 2 sided single buttons. Wacom Bamboo Pen is shaped like natural ball point pen, with 2 sided single buttons that fits right onto our thumb. Bamboo surface feels just nice, like writing on paper.īoth Wacom Pen has dual sensors, bottom for normal pen tip while on top has a bigger pressure sensitive button for eraser. Wacom Intuos surface feels very smooth and a bit slippy. The tablet surface of both Genius pen feels like scratching on hard plastic. Wacom Bamboo tips meanwhile feels solid and little bit hard, while Intuos feels just nice. I test the tablet by drawing a few strokes in Photoshop.įirst thing I notice that Genius pen tip feels a little springy and spongy. This makes the pen on genius tablet a little bit bulky than wacom. Genius use battery on their digitizer pen while Wacom pen doesn't need any battery at all. We want the feel to be as close as traditional pen on paper feel. What is the most important thing in tablet is how natural we feel when using these tablet to draw something digitally. The spec written makes Genius and Wacom seems on par, but there is more than that.
