Adesso CyberTablet 6400 Tablet

The Adesso CyberTablet 6400 is an entry-level graphics tablet, and has the similar features as other consumer-grade tablets like the Wacom Graphire or Bamboo.  The CyberTablet does have programmable function keys, which my Graphire does not have.  If you want the pro-level features (1024+ levels of sensitivity, pen tilt, airbrush tools, etc.) then you’ll have to spend the cash necessary to step up to that level.

One of the caveats you must contend with is that the pen and mouse require a battery to function.  Wacom patented the whole batteryless peripheral thing, so other vendors have to make do.  Regardless of this, the Adesso CyberTablet has about the same performance as the same level of Wacom tablet for a little less money.

category rating comments
Quality 4 Has a decent quality.  Pen is nice, but the mouse feels extremely cheap.
Innovation 4 Addition of Function keys is good in an entry-level tablet.
Performance 5 Just as responsive as other tablets, and can keep up with my spastic hand.
Installation 3 Have to go to different places for Function programming and tablet.  No automatic switching between pen and mouse modes.
Value 4 Slightly cheaper than Wacom tablets with the same size and features, but then again you have some caveats.
FINAL VERDICT: 4 out of 5 stars
