Comments: Set-up was extremely easy. Plug in, install driver and away you go. (You'll will need to set which monitor for it to use if you use multiple monitors. [Bamboo prefrences, Pen mode details, select screen.] After that, works fine.) The surface is very good, smooth and rough at the same time to give you the feeling as if you're drawing on actual paper, you also get that satisfying noise when you drag your pen across it. I haven't tried out the other nibs and as I'ma ware for this model they are only replacements and not completely different nibs. I use it with Photoshop and Paint Tool Sai and both handle it very well. Again, both of them immediately recognize it as an input and there isn't any messing around with settings. It doe have a problem with online drawing programs as the pen seems to stop and load before drawing, it does this often when drawing on these types of programs. (It's not the computer, the Wacom drivers say loading). Though this is fine for me as I draw with installed programs on the computer. For the price of $100 I thought this was a very good deal, I would have gone to $135 for the never version if it were out when I was purchasing. As I'm sure that is only an improvement over this one.
Great Tablet for the $100 price mark. Highly recommend it. If you want to go better then this one I suggest the Intuos5, though it is around double the price.

I'll also recommend the Wacom Bamboo Tablet...here is another one that's about $20 cheaper.
I would suggest a Wacom Bamboo, or Bamboo fun.
It's really a shame what has happened to the Wacoms though. They decided to change their products up.
THIS was only $89 at the time I got it, and look at the price now!
NOW LOOK what they've downgraded to. No scroll wheel, two buttons. Doesn't come with a mouse.

I'm using this one right now as I type this. It's a good first tablet.
I use a Red Dragon Perdition Gaming mouse. It has 5 programmable profiles which I have configured for different programs (Inventor, Rhino, Solidworks, Illustrator, CorelDraw). I have the 12 button programmed to switch profiles and each profile can have a different color from the internal LEDs (Helps tell which profile I'm in)
I also have a Logitech G13 Gamepad. It has awesome software which automatically switches profiles based on which program is active. It has 3 quick swap buttons to completely change the layouts in each program, 25 keys per layout. I've programmed keys/macros for all my commonly used tools.
I still have a regular keyboard. Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Shit+Z (Undo/Redo) is too natural to me, plus other basic commands but I can quickly jump over to the G13 for commands that would require 2 hands on the keyboard and keep my right hand on the mouse.
I have a Waccom Bamboo pen tablet and I've found that touch is in as accurate as a mouse for 3D manipulation. With LClick+Drag, RClick+Drag, MiddleMouseButton+Drag, LRClick+Drag & Scroll Wheel and control all your major 3D view manipulations. A touch pad requires a second hand button press to achieve the same results. Believe me I've tried and mouse + keyboard + gamepad beats the socks off of anything I've found. It's great never having to click drop down menus.
Add in AutoHotKey to run macros/automate and you can model/draft w/o ever looking from the screen.
I'd be interested to hear other people's setups.
Sorry about getting laid off, that sucks
But anyway, I have a tablet that shows up on screen yes (not tablet itself), and I don't have trouble matching the movements. After a little while it doesn't become a problem anymore.
This is the tablet I have, it works great and it's only 100 dollars (but save your money if tracing with the mouse is working)
edit: oh and may I see some of your works?
