Delivered about an hour ago.
I've used a Bamboo and a Graphire, and this is as good as both of those.
I'm not a heavy illustrator or artist. I use the tablet for touching up photos and sometimes doodling or making hand-drawn type, etc. The extra size is great, although I'm thinking 12"x9" is maybe even too big. I would've probably enjoyed the smaller one just fine.
The pen is good. Slightly heavier with the battery than the Wacom, I like the extra weight. The battery attachment seems flimsy, as long as that doesn't break it'll be great. Only one button (right-click) which is good enough for me. Also there is no eraser on it, which I also don't care about. The eraser on my Wacom just annoyed me.
It didn't come with any drivers and didn't immediately work. Monoprice has online chat support so I did that and they emailed me drivers within 10 minutes. Good service.
On the binary scale (zero or one) ... I give this tablet a "one."

So Monoprice is the Radioshack? They must be a Chinese distributer of OEM parts.
I'm interested in your review of the tablet when you get it.

the dude that sits next to me at work has one at home. he says it's great.
the pen takes a AAA battery. but, it's not a deal breaker.
i've been thinking about getting one of them. let us know how it turns out.

Anyone using these? I've got a small Wacom that I love, but I'm definitely going to try this Monoprice 12"x9". Only $84. Seems too cheap to be good.
Does anyone have any experience with this brand? It looks like most of the comments on monoprice are from people who haven't used a Wacom much.
