PC Peripherals Suggest a cordless pen for sketching and drawing

[nRiTeCh]

My sister needs digital pen for doing sketching and drawing on computer which can be exported to Photoshop, Illustrator, paint etc. etc.

I found this link http://www.iball.co.in/ProductComparison.aspx?cmpProductId=442,81,82,83,

Is there any other brand or co. who manufactures similar items?
Also, are iball products that good in this term for such critical and delicate items?

no response...

I believe Wacom makes the best digital pen/tablets; unless you are looking for something else.

Yes. But are they freely available on common indian sites for ordering? I just see their tablets but no digital pen items.

Check out ebay. http://www.ebay.in/sch/i.html?_nkw=wacom&_sacat=0&_odkw=wacom+digital+pen&_osacat=0&_from=R40
I'm sure a lot of other sites too sell them. Search.

you can directly start sketching in most major graphics software if you have a tablet. no need to draw separately and then export to them.

i think cte460 (from logistopath's link) should be enough for normal sketching. if you want touch too (for swipes and gestures) better buy from amazon via iccworld or other site since it will cost almost same as here, but wacom does not provide a mouse along with pen (which you will get if you buy from amazon).

ok but products from iball are offering both pen and mouse

heard that iball tablet pen requires batteries for operation, whereas wacom has no such limitations. all other tablets on amazon require battery or couple of those small alkaline cells to operate and dont last long enough.

can't go wrong with Wacom. Though availability here is a bit of a pain in the ass

I've been a fan of Wacom fan for over 10-12 years (use them at our workplace - pen & tablet on dual monitors), extremely versatile, 100% trouble free. If you wish to order from India check this out.

I think you can also check at theitdepot.com - they stock wacom - (if the product you want is listed BUT does not mention "ready for despatch"), then call up and check availability/delivery time.

Wacom is expensive - but the best in the world & will last for years & never give you any trouble (almost like Victorinox Swiss Knives)

Why do you need a mouse for a tablet? I've used the Wacom Bamboo Fun which had both the pen and the mouse. The mouse seemed pointless and just a convenience. Plus you will wear out the tablet surface using the mouse. A normal mouse felt more accurate too.

Wacom is the way to go, stay away from lousy alternatives.
