Bamboo Pen and Touch Review

[TheMasamura112]

I Actually got a Refubrished one for 64 bucks ! YAY

[TheBlackLionHeart]

@KerrTeves Hey kid, maybe instead of trolling reviews, you should practice your grammar. Plus, he sounds like he's in his 10s, how much more pathetic can you get? In the dark playing video games and eating chips? If he does, at least he's having fun in his childhood while it lasts. Seriously, get off Youtube and go back to elementary school.

[deathzaccent]

Drawring! Awwww

[funhomestudio]

I give you 9/10 thanks a lot

[darkbloodedvampire]

how do i change it from tough to pen?? i forgot x.x n i reeeeally need to know now TwT

[guga2artes]

your small hands make the tablet looks so big xD

nice review

[Tom97UK]

By "We" you me "I"...

[zabakkabou]

nice

[ELLARONS]

this is what i call a review!!!!!!! thanks kid

[MrAllpro123]

hey kid its your bedtime

[insanity67]

1:39

"Well Hello! my name is Simon, and I like to do Drawrings !"

[TheFireclone]

im just starting to edit my anime drawings mostly half body and very accurate shades and colours.Would this tablet be good for gimp?

[TheHoboUniverse]

I have a question. I'm really interested in getting the pen and touch, but I'm just a bit worried. I was looking at reviews on a website for it, and somebody said that when they would draw, if they tried to set their hand down (like you would when you draw on paper) it wouldn't respond correctly. Is this true? Thanks for all responses :)

[Jordan6141]

@TheHoboUniverse I saw that review too. Yet i've seen people doing it in demonstrations and drawing and no one in a video has said anything about it so far so it might be just humor the tablet but i don't know because I don't have one yet.

[1993charlie]

great review, really considering this tablet for digital drawing, so this helped a lot.

and tar very mooch x

[toba122]

Wow this guy should be on QVC

[LeodSMW]

Wow this guy sounds so young yet he's so smart..

[breyercrazy103]

i have a bamboo touch and tablet and it worked fime but now the pen dosent work. it lights up(red) but the curser dosent move. the only thing that works is the touch!!! i tryed reinstalling but i really have know idea how to do that....so if you know how to do that please tell me. and if thats not how to make it work please tell me!!!! thx!!!

[xraptor103]

how old is this kid?

[chillincello]

Wow, its been very informitive, youve raised the standerds for other reviews done by people your age, amazing job!:D

[subtletiger]

I had to get myself pumped by watching that scene from Minority Report. Ha.

[togekissed]

Can you physically click with it (like a Macbook's trackpad) when you use multi-touch?

[pgf95]

what are the diferences between the Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch Small and theWacom pen & touch?

[somegirlonthefloor]

@pgf95

Ones smaller?

[pgf95]

@somegirlonthefloor no,found out they are the same,que Bamboo fun just comes with more software

[RIZER200]

im might gonna buy it today... but im wondering if it works for macromedia flash 8 pro?

[HManHark]

Forgive me for being a retard, but can you use this with a mouse plugged in to your computer at the same time. Because i have a Trust tablet, (its not mine, but i use it from time to time) and recently whenever my mouse is plugged in with the tablet, the mouse point always goes crazy and starts riding the side of the screen so i can't really draw my manga (the reason i want a new one). Please help mate. Also great review, I'm considering buying one xD

[Starwing321]

@TheXxLawlietxX

No. The Bamboo Pen and Touch can sense skin and the special pen, but will not do both at the same time. Although it may accidentally detect your hand instead of your pen, there is a simple solution: place the pen down, but keep you hand away from the tablet. Then move your hand down the pen and onto the tablet. This way, it will definitely detect your pen.

[blotsafun]

on amazon.com

the price is $60.00

[ChandoProductions]

Why are reviews of the cool products done by annoying 7 year old kids?

[tutyrudy]

is this great for Graphic Designers?

[TheXxLawlietxX]

Quick question. This is probably the only thing that keeps me from buying it. If ur working with the pen, say, drawing something. And you rest your hand on the track side of it. Will it mess it up? Because we had similar things to a tablet and if ur hand touched the screen, it would confuse it for the pen and make it a huge mess. If anyone can answer this I would be super grateful :)

[NlkOlVy]

Nice work, kid! great review

[xaidanrulezx]

my teacher at school just got a grant for these last month and now me and my other friend have been helping my teacher test these out, so no one else even knows about them.btw they work great after u get used to them

[rileyperrior2346]

nice review I am impressed but a tip if you keep doing reviews. CUT YOUR NAILS!!!

[Yumega200]

It's actually funny how jelous some people are here!

'Stupid kid,' really? In what why? The review is very good and I thought it was great. Just because this person can give a good review you spam things like 'stupid kid,' and 'look he's five'. Great job mate!

Anyway the newer version come with photoshop elements, I think :)

[XxKID1xX]

Is it safe buying it from Wacom.com?

[idiotyouar]

@XxKID1xX YES! bt even safer if you go to one of their resellers.

[XxKID1xX]

@idiotyouar Thanks for the hint.

[Calliu2293]

Wow,amazing review, boy ^^ how old are you? 8D

[superryan1997]

r u like 5

[Laajayyjayy]

@superryan1997

looking at your name, i'm guessing you were born in 97.

13-year-old complaining about someone his age.

XD

[superryan1997]

@Laajayyjayy by the way im 19 and i put 97 there as a dedecation to my brother who was born in 1997 and he died in 2005 and his name is ryan

[cheesemuffin94]

"here it is compared to my IPHONE" stupid little twit

[Moleskineman]

@cheesemuffin94 Why? iPhone is one of the widest distributed devices, everyone knows them and how thick/thin they are.

[cheesemuffin94]

@Moleskineman Just the way he said it sounded sort of pompous. I mean the kid is probably 9 what does he need an iphone for?

[ketanmandalia]

stupid kid.

[Mik3River4]

Question: If you are,let's say, drawing with the pen and your hand happens to touch the pad while at it, would the Wacom register the pen and ignore the touch or register both? This is the only thing keeping me from buying it.

[madmud101]

@Mik3River4 Resting your hand on the touch surface whilst using the pen doesn't affect the pens usage. The pen seems to overrule the touch.

[sazycute1993]

@Mik3River4 I read somewhere that you click a button to change, so for instance you were in touch mode, to change you would press the button on the side to change to pen mode.

[wartyfingle]

by "we" he means "I"

[9848674445]

does the pen need a battery?

[NinjaKniver2009]

@9848674445 no it doesn't, i'm turning 14 this thursday and am getting it for my b-day tomarrow, but the pen is completely wireless, and from just holding the pen and just fake writing on the tablet at staples, the thing feels frickin awesome, i'd recomend getting it

[9848674445]

@NinjaKniver2009 thx for the reply! i will get it once i have enough money saved up

[NinjaKniver2009]

@9848674445 i just started using it a few minutes ago, and it for SURE does NOT use a batter on the pen :). its AWESOME it's so worth the money since it comes with adobe elements, and another software, and the two together are $140 so for just 100 you get the tablet and those two. It feels great, awesome, smooth, and with touch, the rotating is the only problem i have. so worth it :)

[od077]

i got one too day just ths plain model no touch features and the pen function rock's and it all so doubles as a mouse so i liked it a lot very handy worth buying

[SkBoi8er]

im 10 yrs old also MeijiGatotsu and im getting bamboo pen at Jan-Feb D: im so excited to get one but i need to wait for my mom income tax

[dozzaxx]

Oh no. He's young. As if young people can talk.

Your all retards. Who cares what age he is. You think you can do better? Go buy yourself one and send me the link of YOUR review.

[CireLeued]

Awesome review!

Now trim your nails. :)

[blahnupunk1]

Somebody always has to be snarky and negative don't they? It's just pure jealousy.

[invinciblewhale]

hey i don't care how old he is. i think he did an awesome job.

[Adrian21397]

Wow. I dont want a review from a child.

[sobekflakmonkey]

i cant decide if this is a little boy or a girl, this is a really good review, i really wanna want a wacom tablet so this is some really good incite

[CRAZiECRiSSiE6]

Awww!!! you sound like Sealand in Hetalia!!!

[aimster4560]

British Justin Beiber O_O.

[ninjablimp]

this guy's got a british american hybrid accent?

[ASDFStudios]

@ninjablimp maybe because he's from england and moved to america?

[SodaPopElectric]

@Tomasdabest wow you sound like an unintelligent boob.

[MicroStarlight]

10 year old british boy?

[PUTSAS]

total 9/10, so how much do the profesional devices get ? 10001 /10 !!!??

[anandmu36]

how is the touch capability of touch pad ? is it comparable to mac magic trachpad?

[Rbloxproductions]

jagg?

[hazz0rdgirl]

how old are you? Hey I got pen and touch.. but someone stole my pen and my disc's and my instruction books but not the goddammit tablet... it felt very weird VERY weird >:C

[SKITTLESBI671]

ADORABLE VOICE! make me wanna squeeze & hug you and scream :3

[Fr3Akles]

Is that a small or is there only one size?

[ashdon112]

would you say to buy the bamboo pen or the bamboo fun (small) for drawing ?

[86Ivar]

you are good at rewiews kid.

[WelcomeToThePwnShop]

what is jag???

[MANTISxB]

@WelcomeToThePwnShop

i think he means lag... i think...

Hard to understand a 9 year old boy.

[WelcomeToThePwnShop]

@MANTISxB haha yea very good pont :)

[SodaPopElectric]

@WelcomeToThePwnShop wow you really cant figure that out from context clues..?

[KerrTeves]

Good thing this boy have something to do for a living rather than staying in his dark bedroom eating chips and playing World of WarCraft and Halo 3 24/7.

[NinjaKniver2009]

@KerrTeves Did you know that Blizzard could practically buy a country with the stupid money they've gotten from fatties and little kids?

[KerrTeves]

@NinjaKniver2009 and you point is?

[FURRYDulaman]

@KerrTeves and what's wrong with that? they can live their lives the way they want to

[153AlexTheGreat]

can this be used by left handed writers.

[LoadedMind78]

@153AlexTheGreat yes

[SodaPopElectric]

@153AlexTheGreat all bamboo tablets can be set for left-handed people, yes.

[EmeraldSerenade]

i gotta get myself one of these..

[xscout159xx]

thanks a lot i was thinking of getting one and this helps

[musicd00d2010]

its funny how he says "bamboo"

[sameroco]

is this better than the intuos4?

[yin222]

@sameroco no its not the int 4 has twice as much sensitivity and has lots of touch buttons to customize the tablet better. The only thing is the int 4 can not be used with your fingers like this can. If you check on wacom.com you will see this is the third or fourth product in there top line up so if you dont want the touch or if your more about your art than useing your fingers I would go with the int 4

[TheChiliLime]

@sameroco lol its a bit different league) Intuos 4 is muuuuuch better.

[Skai2O]

a bit spoiled for a 10 year old boy, but nonetheless at least he knows what he's talking about. great review

[Gasolinepenguin]

might as well get the bamboo pen, the touch feature is pointless and the only difference with the bamboo fun is that it comes with art programs

[Wylein]

He's actually a boy around 10 years old.

[hippydownhippydown]

thanks, good review, covered all the points I was hoping for

[GeoStn82]

which one is the best for drawing?

[MrsSamyify]

This tablet has a long usb cable?

[Kosatos]

can this tablett be used vertically?

[orrfan000]

that wasnt even a revew

[grooveydog1]

so, can this model not use photoshop???

[ManOfSteel2627]

cool it has an eraser? i just bought it!! i'm so excited!!

[ANTHMX]

I have a question, I'm about to buy a Graphic Tablet, But just like evryone else I don't know what's the perfect for digital painting, matte painting, t-shirts designs, logos. which is the best for this kind of work? I've got only $350, in Mexico city is $270 Bambo Fun Pen&Touch, and $340 Intuos4 Small. What Graphic Tablet you guys recommend to buy? Thanks.

[Tarantius]

I need a tablet for handwriting and i can't decide between this and the bamboo touch, what would you suggest?

[sunnyclover75]

@Tarantius i know im not an expert like this person but i would suggest this one because just the touch is just a little touch screen while this one lets you write so for hand writing you want this one

[munkeeblue]

@Tarantius man i suggest u get the bamboo pen ....the bamboo touch isnt for writing :P

[ManequinWilq]

first of all !! Nice Review ;) second thing - it's a graphics tablet ! it's ment for writing and drawing - the multi-touch is just a secondery feature ;)

[YuriVictoe]

he may be a kid but he has a script, i mean he doesnt keep saying "hmm uhhh" "u know".good editing, loved it

[probowhunter]

does it work on macs

[YuriVictoe]

@probowhunter it does work on mac mate.

mac ftw

[probowhunter]

@probowhunter okay thanks its pretty cool

[ChRiSizHiGh]

WHY DO CHILDREN HAVE BETTER THINGS THAN ME... oh yeah, I have bills.

[dragonnutds]

wow, just wow. if it was not for your voice, i would have thought you to be a professional reviewer

[danielandtonytechmen]

your like ten and you have an iphone

[cclemon288]

i wish i see this review b4 i brought mine...

cause i don't think i would have brought it w/ the touch if i did...

[ASSASSINATOR199]

He needs to cut his finger nails.

[pedizzle77]

drworwing

[Crzynoob]

She's a girl, obviously.

[krista31612]

I'm hearing very mixed opinions on this. Does it suck or is it completely amazing or somewhere in between?

[lefgia]

The pen is lagging so much, especialy when u try to draw short lines as a result u cant draw a short line but just dots

The sensitivity presure fails almost always. I put a lot effort to make it work but it just fails.

Good for other stuff but not for drawing

[nazguluzan]

@lefgia That's for the pen version, the pen & touch, or just the pen in regular?

[casbas100]

wtf stop talking about how amazing the pen input is , that doesnt make sense

[Ojokernegro]

Great stuff...I feel much better about having bought it now!

Was afraid the review would say the device sucks for drawing. By the way, awesome video, great review. You've really got a knack for this.

[CurtisGproductions]

so does this work in photoshop?

[Tomymdobson]

yes!

[justbram]

yes my friend...it works like heaven...especially with cs4 :D....

[fabhatti]

Good review. I might just get this one.

[Chronox5]

good review, i was toying with the idea of getting one of these

[bikarida]

i can't believe a kid whos balls havn't even dropped yet did such a good review! well done mate 5* and dont worry they'll drop soon son! ;)

[ApocalypticJedi]

@bikarida i think thats a girl(judging by the nails)

[xXpEaRsOn93Xx]

@ApocalypticJedi How many girls are called Robert?

Anyway, Nice review, thinking about getting one of these soon

[ApocalypticJedi]

@xXpEaRsOn93Xx oh didnt hear that his name was said now that i am using earphones instead of the speakers it sounds more like a boy... lol

[bikarida]

@ApocalypticJedi oops!

[tmsidekick]

trim yo nail chap

[jos288]

Great work!, I've just found every informations that i needed

thanks!

[SecondLifeSailing]

iPhone??? paper rounds are paying well these days then? ;) LOL

[Spidason]

This Product is the joint.....if you an graphic artist this is a must get.... 9/10

[TheYellowTadpole]

surface area sucks... and the programming wont let you draw well... on internet stuff. It will lag awkwardly. on photoshop and SAI it works fine, but the small area to draw is annoying.

[TheOneEcylpse]

it comes with PSE 7.0 and some plug-ins for photoshop

[davischase123]

What do you look like.

[Benajawana]

That sounds a Tad creepy lol

[Boelinie]

Great review! Good job :)

[davischase123]

It do come with photoshop!!!!!!!

[tiguinard]

you look young but you got the best review !!!!!! thanks i'm sold

[CrdBrdProjects]

fuck the pen and touch's pen has an eraser? my bamboo pen's pen doesn't have it >:C

[085KB]

Great review :)!

[forsakenfallenangel]

..odd mine came with Corel Painter Essentials 4.0

[synicalx1]

yeah i think they come with Corel and PS elements? mine did at least lol

[j4cko56]

yours is the Bamboo FUN pen and touch then, the one in the orange box, this is the one in the blue box...

[synicalx1]

no mine came in a blue box and it clearly said "Bamboo pen and touch" not bamboo "fun"

having said that however i think that there was an error with the bundled stuff, I called up wacom and apparently mine is only supposed to come with PS and some other freeware thingo. sounds like I accidentally got the bundle from another tablet =P

[C4orce]

how old is the one speaking?? sounds like the voice of a kid... no offence

[incrediblejessen]

so what?

[MeijiGatotsu]

Thats what I was thinking, he sounds like a 10 year old boy.

[cushycrux]

but a clever one!

[kx65fast]

@MeijiGatotsu you are right

[frigginhackers]

one quick question:

if you want to draw, could you toggle off the touch feature so you can lay down your hand without it screwing around the picture?

[jorshtamez]

@frigginhackers yes you can, very easily with the top button at the left

[frigginhackers]

why thank you!

[crasite]

sure yes you could config the express key to disable touch feature

ps. i'm getting it this friday

[Ojokernegro]

yep...there's a button that turns off the touch part :P

[JO3a]

just one question guys, is it really worth a highschool guy's paycheck?

cuz i know it looks cool and hefty and all that when your working on the comp. or so.

just really wanna hear your guys' opinions about it,

thx (:

[Sandfordeffects]

haha yes it is :) i got a bamboo fun and is AMAZING!

definitely worth the money

[JO3a]

well x-mas is coming up so we'll see x)

[thematchpunk]

Also your reviews are on par with something youd see on the side of cnet, i was amazed to see how low your sub/view count is

i look forward to you guys having sponsors/a big name backing you so you can do bigger and better reviews.

[thematchpunk]

+1 to yt's comments

ive been looking for a decent sub 100 pad for a while, would like to see the jag, etc.

[yt3141]

Good job choosing relatively esoteric technologies to review--I also enjoyed your Peek review. A suggestion: When reviewing input devices such as this, it would be valuable for the viewer to be able to see simultaneous video of you using the device and screen recording of the effect/result.
