Aiptek Hyperpen 6000

Pros: Price
Cons: The manual doesn’t explain enough details.

The Aiptek Hyperpen 6000 is a Graphics Tablet that is made to be used Right-Handed. Anything that your mouse runs on in Windows should also run with the Hyperpen 6000.

Now you can draw on your desktop, use it in CAD/CAM Programs, Electronic...

Pros: Very versatile pointing devices
Cons: Feels like learning how to "mouse" all over again

I have thought for some time that I wanted to buy some kind of electronic pen. I wasn’t sure how they worked, but I always thought that gripping a regular pen-shaped pointer would not only be easier to handle but easier on my muscles and joints.

Pros: Price, USB
Cons: Packaging, Weak Software Bundle

I’ve always loved the thought of being able to draw and design on my computer, but, to do so with a mouse has been a frustrating experience due to the loss of control and finesse. So, a graphics tablet was on my list when I went to the local COMP USA....

Pros: Drawing is much easier, great for RTS games like 'Pharoah', or 'Age of Kings'
Cons: Pen buttons are not ideally placed

People always talk about Wacom tablets, so I assume they must be very good. They are also extremely expensive ($200+ for a large size), so I have always held back. But then I was in my computer store and I saw the Aiptek Hyper Pen 8000 (just a slightly...

Pros: Bigger drawing surface and cheaper than the equivalent Wacom model. Functions well.
Cons: You might find the included mouse to be extremely uncomfortable.

As far as the pen functions go, it works fine and is fun to use. I don't feel like I'm crunched for space while using it. The buttons on the pen could probably have been placed better, but they're usable the way they are. One complaint I do have is that...

Pros: Price, bundled software included
Cons: Documentation poor, mouse quality

Let me start out by saying I thought I had researched my request for this product as Christmas gift. I have been taking classes in photo restoration and wanted a tablet for ease of work. The 2 tablets I was looking at was this one and the Wacom...

Pros: Price and usage
Cons: Poor Documentation

I received my Hyperpen 6000 this week and am satisfied with the product. Mine is the serial version, but all works ok. The pen, cordless mouse, regular mouse and keyboard all work together nicely at all times.

The pen/tablet for graphical...

Pros: Easy to use - freedom from regular corded mice
Cons: Tech support leaves a lot to be desired.

I got the Aiptek USB Tablet for Christmas.. simply stated – I wanted it bad. My roommate had a Wacom Graphire, and my brother had the serial version of this one, and I loved my brothers and hated parting with it, so I begged to get this one for...

Pros: It's just like drawing with a pen!!!
Cons: Side buttons are located where I hold my pen.

I started getting into graphic editing programs recently, and I really had a hard time drawing with my mouse. Then I got the hyperpen one day and I kicked the mouse to the curb! The hyperpen is really worth getting if you're an artist or just someone...

Pros: cheap
Cons: poor documentation, poor quality, poor tech support.

After a little over 2 weeks (which is very inconvenient since now I can't return the thing to the retailer anymore) the pen basically conked out and started acting as if it was the mouse, no pressure sensitivity at all. Bought new batteries, changed the...

Pros: works good
Cons: battery in pen & mouse

After doing research on a low cost tablet the finalists came down to Aiptek Hyperpen 8000 6" x 8" and the Wacom Graphine. Everything pointed to the Graphine as the winner but I did not want to get stuck with a 4" x 5" active area and...

Pros: it's nice to have when you are doing graphics
Cons: The pen fell apart in my hands

I picked up this pad setup because I do alot of graphics, to tell you the truth, they are in between actually using a pen and a mouse. The problem here, the casing around the pen just crumbled. I returned it, 24 hours later same thing happened. It's a...
