Customer Reviews

Great addition for your desktop
The first few days using the Adesso Z12 tablet I was disappointed in my purchase. A few weeks later, I'm amazed how well this pad works. It's a little bit of a paradigm shift that your mind and hand need to adjust to. I find it to be quite an effective way to interface with programs like PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat, and Visio. I'm able to work faster in programs where there is a more interaction using a pointing device. In addition, my slides or diagrams are more polished.

I also use the Z12 tablet with MS OneNote to take handwritten notes and draw diagrams with. I have a hunch that if more people knew how effective and helpful touchpads are, everyone would have one. Touchpads certainly don't replace a mouse, but they are a great addition. If you're doing more than just typing or surfing the internet, you should probably have one.

Impressed
I have been using graphics tablets for my art for about 8 years now, and for the price and size this is a very good tablet to get. At first it was a little bit tricky to install on windows XP, but after that it work flawlessly.

For those of you who don't know it isn't limited to widescreen monitors. I have a normal 5:4 ratio monitor and it works good.

There is only one thing that I noticed that most other graphics tablets have, and that it tilt functionality. This basically allows you to tilt the pen to create softer lines. I really never took advantage of this on previous tablets I have owned so this isn't such a big deal for me. But I do know that there are others who use this function. This tablet does not have that.

Solid, inexpensive product
I've had this tablet for a few weeks now and have enjoyed using it. I primarily wanted it when I was working with photo editing software. It's easy to use and a lot more accurate than trying to edit photos with the mouse. I'm running Vista 64 bit. The only have 2 complaints: 1) I run a dual monitor setup and the cursor will not move past the vertical centerline of my primary monitor (I had to disable my second monitor for it to work properly). I'm not sure if this is true for all tablets, or just this one. 2) It has quick launch buttons, which aren't programmed as the pad shows them (ex. the cut button doesn't cut, it pastes, etc.), and I am unable to reprogram them
The 2 complaints aren't a big deal, but I felt they were worth mentioning, and the reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5.
