Been scouring ebay, but the medium ones seem rare second hand and expensive new. Don't want a small one again is it just didn't satisfy my needs last time.

Have you got the eBay phone app? Get a saved search on there and get it to notify you when new items are listed. It saves on the scouring.

I have a small one, but it still gets the job done.

Having worked with both, gotta say I prefer the small one as it's more portable and just seems faster as a mouse replacement (you can literally take the cursor across two spanned displays with the flick of a wrist).

OTOH the medium is probably better for /drawing/ (which I don't use it for).

Ever tried playing a game with it?

Just thought it might be suited to RTS games.

Nah, I doubt it would be much good in games, at least not the ones I like to play. Ever used a joystick with an FPS? It's really good!

I do. Problem is there are a squillion model numbers, and a lot are just listed as "wacom tablet".

Got my eye on a couple of intuous 4 mediums that look to be going around the 60 mark..

Heh, yes, I played Doom with a joystick on a PC. And again with a joypad on the Saturn. :C

When I was introduced to PC gaming proper, I wondered how the hell a mouse and keyboard could be better than a pad.  :-$

Ah bugger, and if you're any more specific you're going to miss out on that Intuos 5 some clueless person's listed for £0.99.

I'm seriously tempted by this.

iirc there is/was a wacom ballpoint pen-based stylus so you can put paper on the tablet and draw+digitize.

They did the 'inkling' but it wasn't generally well received: a bit inaccurate and more for fun than a professional product. I suppose the fact that they've abandoned it is significant. 

Actually, since yesterday I've read a couple of early reviews of the Iskn Slate 2 and it looks disappointing too. No pressure sensitivity, translating speed of movement into line thickness (work hard to produce a product that feels natural to use and then deliberately build in an artificial and unnatural effect??) hit and miss response etc. etc. Worst of all, a couple of reviewers included photos of drawings compared to what the slate 2 captured. Not impressed.

New business idea:

Buy second hand intuos 4 tablets for around £80

Sell the pens on ebay for £75
Sell the tablets sans pen for £35
???
Profit!

I know it always used to be the case that going off-brand on tablets was basically a waste of money, but I've been seeing lots of reviews of the Huion range of tablets that are very positive. Main gripes are:

Pen requires a battery (believe wacom have a patent on the wireless power for pen bit)
Surfaces are very smooth/slick when compared to the more paper-y texture of the Wacoms
Drivers can be fiddly to install, and not as customisable as the wacom ones.

Anyone used one? It's very tempting, when a large format one (10" x 6.25") new is about the same as an intuos pen small.

I was wondering about pressure sensitivity when watching the vid - that's something that's never going to be captured properly, also the 'grain' within a pencil line. Drawing with a real pencil doesn't give a line that's solid, it's broken and fractured because of the nature of the graphite in it, again that's something that's never going to be captured, only simulated. :C

Have you got a link to the review and photos you mentioned?
