The tablet arrived in good order and is working fine. Thank you for a good product, fair price and quick shipping. | 5 | Today | Kool Beans
The first one didn't function. As soon as the first one was in the postal system the second one was shipped. It works flawlessly. I use it to create designs and remvove unwanted background and to repair designs before digitizing the design. | 5 | Today | A good tablet for a cheap price.
I own the Aiptek Hyperpen 12000u graphics tablet, which is the exact same item as the Adesso CyberTablet 12000, only it is sold under the Aiptek brand.
I went to school for Graphic Design and in 2006 I graduated with my bachelors in that field. I currently work full time for at an in-house graphic design department for one of the world's largest printing and marketing companies.
I bought this tablet in about 2003 because I felt that it would help with my projects in school. I originally was looking at the Wacom Intuos 6x8 graphics tablet, but the price tag for that particular item was far outside what I could afford while paying for school, my car and other bills. I had used the less expensive Wacom Graphire 4x5" tablet but I was not impressed. The build quality was good, but it was too small to really do any kind of detailed work with it.
A friend of mine who does a lot of artwork on the computer turned me onto the Aiptek 12000u (which is again, the same unit as the CyberTablet 12000) which he paid about double the price here for at a local brick and mortar hardware chain. A 12x9 tablet for about half the cost of the Wacom Intuos I was looking at caught my attention so I looked online, found the tablet on Amazon and did what any college kid would do, asked my parents to buy it for me.
The build quality of the Hyperpen is good. It is a solid unit over-all. I have dropped mine dozens of times and it still works flawlessly. The pen feels a little flimsy, but no worse than say a bic pen. Mine lasted for about 4 years before I had to recently replace it (replacements available on the Aiptek website). A replacement pen cost me only $10 plus shipping, which is a great value considering a replacement pen for a Wacom tablet costs in the $60 range. The pen requires a AAA battery and because of this is a little heavier than a Wacom pen, but almost all of the weight is the battery itself, and I am one of those people who prefer a pen with a little heft to it. For me the vast savings over the cost of a Wacom tablet outweigh having to use a slightly heavier pen.
The mouse of my tablet was basically useless. But I didn't buy a tablet to use the mouse. I have a very decent optical mouse that fulfills all of my mousing needs, as I am sure most people who are considering this tablet do.
I use this tablet nearly every day at work and it performs flawlessly. I use it mainly with Adobe Photoshop CS2 and 3, and Adobe Illustrator CS2 and for those programs it is worth its weight in gold. It has full pressure sensitivity for CS2 and 3 (contrary to what some reviews say) and works well with Illustrator. You have to install the drivers (the drivers on the Aiptek website, which I believe are v3.15 will work well with this tablet) in order for Photoshop to detect the pen pressure sensitivity, but that is no big deal.
Also this tablet has only 512 levels of pressure sensitivity as compared to 1024 levels on the Wacom Intuos line. But I have used both tablets (12000u and Intuos 6x8") at this point, and there is no real world difference between the two. As in, you won't really notice any difference in pen pressure sensitivity.
Also this tablet is very accurate. I have it set up with "Absolute" positioning so that where I place the pen on the tablet directly relates to where the cursor appears on the screen, and with my 20" monitor using this tablet is very intuitive. I got used to it in a week, which is something I cannot say of smaller tablets.
Aside from the crappy mouse this tablet comes with, I only have 2 other negative things to say: The programmable function keys are practically useless. You cannot program them to Photoshop keyboard shortcuts or macros. I have only been able to use them to open programs. The other thing is that this tablet doesn't detect pen tilt, which is something the newer Wacom tablets do. It's not a major feature, but it is a nice one.
However the extra $300+ dollars that I have in my pocket make me feel better about not having tilt sensing on my tablet.
I would as always recommend this tablet to anyone who thinks they might want one, but cannot or will not spend a lot more money for a Wacom Tablet. If you have a lot of money to spend, definitely go with the Wacom, they are nicer, but if like most people you have to budget how much you spend, this Adesso CyberTablet 12000 is an incredible purchase for the money.
| 5 | Today | Good Product
My artistic abilities leave something to be desired but that is no fault of this tablet. It is definitely easy to use and works well. I feel confident that it will help me improve my drawing skills. | 4 | Today | Works great. . . until you run out of pen tips. . .
This product is great until it runs out of what I call pen tips, for lack of a better name.
Pen tips are small plastic tips that one puts in the pen after it wears down you replace it with another.
I've used this table over and over again without a problem. Now I can't use my last pen tip. Looked all over the internet (even the Adesso website) to find said tips. I was even looking to buy another pen for it if necessary. I found nothing. I fear I am going to have to buy another table.
That's the reason for the two stars. Don't buy this unless you want to buy another after the tips run out.
Like I said, the product works well it's just what's the use in buying something that doesn't sell replace pen tips or pens?
If anyone out there knows of a place where I can find said pens or tips for this product please comment on this review and give me the link.
| 2 | Today | great fun
...I bought this for my son and he raved about it...the more he uses it...the more he loves it...his creativity has taken off and he's now determined to create his book and bring his dream to fruition... | 5 | Today | Good is good enough
All the conflicting reviews about graphics tablets made me really nervous about buying my own. However, the Adesso 12X9 that I bought has been fantastic so far. There might be subtle benefits for the high-end Wacom products, but for my limited-dollar and amateur-interests, this Adesso is exactly what I needed.
It's been reliable. It handles well. The large size is kind of awkward, but I had a smaller tablet many years ago and was always frustrated by the tiny drawing area. (I might have been able to get around that by using the Zoom tool more effectively, but...ah, well....)
Final answer: The Adesso was a great purchase. | 4 | Today | Super big awsomeness
This is a really good product. Although the first one i got was defective but i called Amazon and they sent me a new one in three days and my new one works greats!!! | 5 | Today | It works.
This product does what it's supposed to do. I use it as an electronic whiteboard. | 5 | Today | Great feature
to prove that is working fine. l decide to write my comment with it. As you can see that works worry well. It is really handy to get use to it. The pen is incrediblyaccurate when you write or even when you point out on the screen. the character recognition is just great. you just have to write as bad as usual :-)
Ideal to do video editing as well. you just have to point and move the things around.
your are going to discover A new way to enjoy your computer.
Just one negative: the mouse is rubbish. But I don't care as l prefer trackball.
