Works just like the wired version. The normal Graphire pens and mouse work from other tablets of the same series. I have had no lag problems, but I use Mac OSX. Bluetooth on a Mac works great.

Having used a wired Wacom tablet for some time, I was thrilled to see a Bluetooth version. This means that one less wire to worry about, but also in presentations I can stand up with the tablet and scribble, point and draw whilst on the move. The tablet is very good, hooks up to my Macbook Pro easily and is responsive with both the pen and the mouse. The battery time is about two long working days between charges - it does power off when your machine sleeps which is good. The one niggle is that sometimes when the machine sleeps, the tablet somehow gets confused and thinks it is attached to something but pen / mouse movements not registered. Turning Bluetooth off / on on the Mac clears this. Like I said, slight niggle - could be how Mac Bluetooth works. All in all though, excellent product - typical Wacom high standard of build and responsiveness. If you need a graphics tablet - or want something easier than a mouse - give this a try. I hardly use a mouse anymore, holding the pen is so much more natural - just have to remember not to take it with me when I leave my desk (as I have done and wondered where I put it down!)

From the minute I have installed my Wacom Graphire, I can't tear myself away. It's responsive and easy to use, simple to install, and the bluetooth connection means I'm not limited by a cable when I decide how to hold and use it. The size is easy to work with - small enough to hold comfortably, and big enough to be accurate as you work. Graphics programs such as photoshop and painter also utilize the pen nib pressure sensitivity, making lines thicker the harder you press - just like artists media in the real world. The fact that the back end is an eraser (!) is so intuitive and logical, the work flows naturally. It's also very good-looking .. and even comes with a template so you can customize your tablet. I would recommend every designer/artist get one of these toy/tools.
