Measuring only 8.2 by 5.4 inches, the Bamboo Touch is compact enough to store comfortably in a laptop case. It features a large and responsive active area, and there's more room to navigate than you'd experience with a mobile device or a traditional laptop trackpad. It's also reversible, so you can use it comfortably whether you're right- or left-handed. The Bamboo Touch is simple to set up, using a plug-and-play mechanism. Simply plug the tablet into your computer via a USB port, install the provided drivers, and you're ready to go. You'll be doodling, writing, and painting in minutes. Navigate Easily with Multi-Touch Technology You can also scroll, zoom, and rotate your screen with simple hand gestures. It's intuitively-designed and easy to use -- even if you're new to the touch experience. The tablet also has four built-in Express Keys, which users can map to whatever shortcuts or commands they choose. Because the Bamboo Touch is potentially a replacement for your mouse, Wacom has included an interactive tutorial that teaches you the gestures and helps you adjust to using the tablet. Bamboo Touch is compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and Mac OS X (10.4.8 or higher.) It requires a powered USB drive, a colored screen, and a CD/DVD drive. What's in the Box Bamboo Touch tablet, Quick Start guide, installation CD (includes driver software, interactive tutorial and user's manual). | |||||||||||||||

 Perfect touch tablet |

| This wacom tablet was exactly what I was looking for to replace the trackball I've been using for the last 12 years. Extremely responsive, easy on the hand and wrist. This is what mousing will be in the future. |

| I received the Bamboo Touch Tablet as a Christmas present from my Mac-loving son. I have PCs. I believe that part of the reason my son gave me this tablet was so that I could experience the joys of the multi-touch input. I have indeed experienced it and love it. The tablet is extremely easy to use. It is very responsive to my touch. My only complaint with this tablet is that in order to use the drag function I find that most of the time I need to depress the fourth button with my left hand while dragging with my right index finger. (In the tutorial it demonstrates being able to use just the index finger. When I practiced in the tutorial, that worked; however,in actual use I am not successful when doing that.) I love the slim design of the Tablet and find it a more portable option to carry with me when I travel with my laptop than having to carry a mouse since the tablet is flat and can easily slip into my bag with my computer.
I am very pleased with this tablet and am very happy that my son chose to give it to me. |

| It is well built and does what it is supposed to do. The description is quite clear about what Wacom means by multitouch, and if in doubt, Wacom has video demos of the multitouch in action on their web site. It doesn't claim to work like a Mac tablet, so I don't know why people ding it for not working like a Mac tablet. The 5' cable is too is a bit short for me, so I'm getting an extension cable D-Link DUB-C3AE USB 2.0 Extension Cable (10 Feet).
Note: with Win7 64-bit, do not use the 521-6 drivers from the Wacom site - not stable! The drivers from the CD work fine. My tweaks: - I put a patch of blue painters tape on the second and fourth buttons so I could distinguish them by feel. - I kept accidentally touching a second spot, so I disabled right and left second-touching. Otherwise I really like multitouch. - I enabled drag lock. Trying to select w/out it will drive you batty! - It is easy enough to use the multitouch right click, so I switched that button to be middle click. - The button config options are limited, so I use X-Mouse Button Control to get the button functionality that I want. A few dings: - It should have better button config options so I don't have to use X-Mouse. - It would be nice to be able to adjust the touch sensitivity. I am inclined to hover my hand over the tablet at times, but I had to stop doing that because sometimes it would register a touch even though I didn't feel a touch. - The tablet doesn't work for UAC popups, so I switch to the keyboard for those. |
| A Great Choice For Those Looking For Something Other Than The Standard Mouse |

| This was another item I found by chance and after trying it out have found myself amazed at both its precision and price which was very affordable. While I have wireless microsoft mouse and keyboard the desk I use my Pc on had limited space and moving the mouse around was sometimes a little annoying, as I would have to lest the mouse when it came near the edge of the desk and place it back on the desk surface when I was scrolling through a webpage or just a file on my computer. So after trying to figure something out I saw this and thought why not since it was built similar in design to the laptop touch pads, and amazingly enough the functionality and abilities that this item has are great. The sensitivity makes scrolling and moving the cursor easy and while it does take sometime to get used to a lot easier on my hand as well. The one other great thing about the touch pad is that unlike my and most other peoples wireless mouses is that I no longer have to bother having to either get new batteries rechargeable or otherwise to replace the old ones in the wireless mouse when their spent. The size of the touch pad is about the same as a standard paperback book though very thin which is amazing considering with all it does. The pad is only meant really to act as a stationary mouse mostly it doesn't have a stylus function which I mean having a pen and the function to use it as a drawing pad notebook or Etc, if you're looking for that added feature as well you'll have to pay a little more and get one of the different versions that this company has released out. So if you're looking for a substitute for your mouse or just want to try something a little different for your home Pc here's a neat little item will worth buying for your enjoyment... |

| I've been using this product for about 4 months now and I'm in love with it.
It works great. I have a mac and it understands ALL the mac touch commands/gestures. I highly recommend it. |
