I actually own this very model.

My experience is:

The A6 is a little on the small side for detailed work.
The pen is comparable to the Intuos range, with reduced resolution, but the resolution should be enough for Photoshop, may’be not for CAD software (I don’t use the latter so I would really don’t know)
I already owned a Microsoft mouse with increased functionality (scroll wheel which can also be pushed down) and found this much more interesting than the supplied mouse which came with the package.

Using a Microsoft mouse and only the penfunctionality of the Graphire tablet seam to gives no conflict, so if you have a decent mouse I would stick with it. Problem with using the mouse is also that A6 is really a little bit to small to manoeuvre freely with a mouse. On the other hand you don’t have the wire that gets in the way.

Hope this helps, but if I would by another one I would go for A5 size.

I use both a pen and a mouse. Being left handed, I use the pen in my left hand but I’m a right handed mouse user as such I don’t have to drop the pen to pick up the mouse. I find this very advantageous. ie. When working with the clone tool I use the pen for ‘light’ cloning just a few pixels but the mouse for large brush left clicks. All this without having to change the brush size.

I really need end users to tell me what they think of BOTH the pen and mouse that come with it.

Tablet Excellent
Pen good
Mouse is a great paperweight.

And this is with the A6 version?

No. I use a Microsoft Intellimouse for the mouse. I don’t use the Wacom mouse.

Glad you clarified that – it appeared that you used the Wacom mouse from your post.

Seems that most ppl don’t rate the Wacom mouse.
