Good continuation, but some avoidable shortcomings

Wacom Intuos 5 M professional graphics tablet with pen (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

I have this, really good, drawing tablet in the size A5 (Medium / M) a few days ago - Non Touch ordered.

First, a few facts about the scope of supply:
- Graphics Tablet
- USB cable
- Driver CD
- Pen
- Pen Holder with Minenextraktor and Refills
- In color plate for the pin
- Quick Start Guide
- A postcard with the "Everything begins" in different languages ​​is printed.

Everything is good and clean packed, you never really need to take a pair of scissors to hand, except for the seal / "I have not been opened Sticker".

If you have unpacked the tablet you can even get started:
Connect USB cable and install the driver.
Who now thinks he should download the latest driver on the Wacom website which can be safely, because the
current driver when installing from the CD, and a user manual (which you can download abort), eh downloaded and installed.

You now have everything set up and configured, you can start already.

However, I have here the software / driver some criticisms:
- You get no way the appearance of the current settings on the screen, although in plain black, yet annoying,
when pressing a function key hide, also operate some function keys do not always, then you have to restart the system, then this function strangely again.
(I'm talking about Windows 7 64bit, 32bit or Mac OS that may well be different)

(Some of the touch version of the tablet will touch inputs very jerky. I can not confirm, of course, since I only have the pen version)

Even the tray itself, I can enumerate some negative points:
- The function keys: These are me probably the biggest thorn in the side, because if you press this you would have to apply some pressure on the finger, which may
not pain in the long run, but its just annoying, also because the pressure point at any button will be truly equal, and you always cautious "touch" needs.

- The Touch Ring: I have not obsessed or use the previous Intuos4 can, but only the Intuos3er model to test a few days extensively (in this but it still does not ring, but "stripes"), but seems to me this still very vague, which I attribute to this dull rubber of the control elements.
If you turn on this to zoom or change the brush size for example, the Gummie brings much resistance to the finger, whereby the ring is unfortunately somewhat inaccurate. #

Neutral point:

- The surface is still as paper-like rough when Intuos4 model. Of course, this gives you a paper more similar feeling, but also the mines wear more quickly.
- Wireless is supported, but you have an up, Well Priced not particularly appropriate, buy Wireless Kit.

Positives:
- Highest precision as not otherwise known to all Intuos models

- Most of the EAGLE mines you have a very large selection.
- If you touch the function keys you get on the screen appears, the function button is there really just want to use, without these pressures must
- The Touchringanuzeige is now clearer, because there are now, instead of just the right LED lights, this is now at the top right and left, lower right and left.
- The active area is easier to handle even more clearly and is through the illuminated corners, as this now has no more edges directly at the edges (now I do not know how to formulate it, but if you look at pictures of the older models and the look here is I think quite clearly.)

If one is not important these criticisms, you can safely pick up the Intuos5, especially if you want a touch version,
and a good sequel with the same precision and operation is obtained as in the older models.
Personally, I'm still very happy with my tray, and when I think that you get cheaper than an actual model the Intuos4 Intuos5 non-touch model,
I do not regret buying it.
