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.

Can't afford it or justify spending that much. Shitty video. Nevertheless...

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?

Yeah, they're the mysterious, unknown method for getting round PayPal and eBay fees, those pesky things that turn a decent markup into not worth the hassle :(

Ah yeah, I've not sold anything on eBay for sometime, and was forgetting about that.

Didn't you or Ant work out the profit margins on selling stuff on eBay a while back, as if you were a business?

There are several if you just search on 'iskn slate review' or similar.

I did, don't recall if I posted it here though. It's shocking how much they take really. A 10 quid market, for instance, works out at about 2 quid profit.

Same as Kos, don't know if I've posted it but I've had a tentative look. I've been tempted for a long time to bring in a couple of hundred pounds worth of something in bulk from China to sell on eBay. Things like arduino relays and other small components.

Never did the maths properly to figure out how many and how cheap I'd need to get them for to make it worthwhile. Especially when you look at the market prices, cost of postage, ebay fees, PayPal fees, potential for people to be dicks and say they've not turned up or they are broken.

Well I got paid for some work today, so I just ordered the Huion h610 pro for 45 quid. If it's awful I'll punt it back on ebay and get a wacom pen and touch (quite like the idea of touch sensor for zoom and stuff, but don't know if I'd actually use it).

So my Huion H610 Pro arrived yesterday. Got to say that I'm very impressed so far, it's years ahead of the old Bamboo that I used to have. Not sure it's got the right feel for sketching directly, but certainly it's good enough for colouring.
