Wacom Bamboo Fun Graphics Tablet Reviews

Our research for Wacom Bamboo Fun showed 157 online reviews. Satisfied users claimed that the brand means quality.

It just works and works well. The interface is well designed and hardly takes any effort to get up and running. The Bamboo tablet has the largest workspace available from Wacom for this price range.

For those unfamiliar with tablets, the tracking isn’t quite the same as a laptop touchpad where the touching the pad simply moves the pointer from its current position. The Wacom tablet maps 1:1 with the screen so if you touch the upper left of the tablet, the pointer goes to the upper left of the screen.

This means that the smaller the pad, the less space you have to maneuver the pen around in. The size of this Wacom Bamboo tablet is almost equal to most laptop screens which work very well.

Installation is a snap. Download the latest drivers from the Wacom site, plug it into a USB port, and you’re all set. This Wacom pen tablet is thin and light, with a more-than-adequate amount of active space.

The multi touch capability is really nice with graphics programs that support it; being able to pan and zoom with left hand while the right remains mostly dedicated to drawing is great. For reference, the touch sensitive area is 7.5″ x 5.1″ and the pen-active area is a fairly generous 8.5″ x 5.4″. You can configure it for left handed use.

However, few users considered this Wacom Bamboo tablet prone to damage. The USB cable for the graphics tablet is fixed directly into the table. This means that if the cable gets damaged or you somehow drop the tablet while holding on the cable and yank it out, the tablet is done for.

So the durability of the pen tablet is entirely dependent on the durability of the cable. So be careful with it. Beyond zoom, rotate, and scroll, there are several gestures that are promoted in the marketing videos, but do not appear to be supported or at least are not documented.

Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet impressed most of its users by its overall performance. There are some faults with this product that very few users considered to be inconvenient but they are outweighed by the products overall good performance. Having received a high average rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars in online reviews, we recommend this device as a great buy.
