New to Wacom Bamboo Pen &amp; Touch: Am I doing something wrong?

This happens for me if I have the "Note" tool turned on. It's a different icon for me than the brush icon. "Note" is the second to last tool in the position the eyedropper usually is, for me, but it's not the brush. Does this occur if you just use a regular mouse? I get back to brush when I click the brush icon.

I haven't and I've been using it for 3 years. If you're experiencing lag, try reinstalling the updated driver software from the Wacom website.

I think the Wacom Bamboo stylus is preferable for note writing. The amPen nib does drag on a Zagg screen-protected iPad where the Bamboo does not.

on youtube Lisa uploaded Wacom bamboo drivers on her Lenovo Thinkpad tablet and her stylus works much better, in fact perfectly (MobileTechReview) channel. check it out. has to have Pen digitizer. check out both videos.

That tends to happen to me after a year of constant use--usually rebooting solves it temporarily. Some of the other Wacom tablets are wireless-compatible, maybe for this reason. I use the tablets for everything, to reduce wrist movement, so I don't mind replacing them; but if yours is new, replace it (belated advice).

Have you installed the necessary software? Also check your settings for the tablet to make sure it is enabled, and in general. Or possibly your pen might not be compatible with the version of the graphics tablet. Generally a Wacom pen needs to be used with a Wacom tablet. Hope that helps.

I'm going to answer my own question with the reply from Wacom via email on May 7, 2014: Thanks for writing in. Great question; there have been issues with the cursor being offset from the pen. I'm not sure what causes that, but there is not a way to correct it. I would suggest taking your tablet into a Best Buy and testing the pen there before you purchase it.

Victor, the calibration for the Wacom system is normally on the device, probably a tablet PC (?). I use the Surface Pro and can easily search the device for 'Calibrate'. That said this pen suffers from the corner creep Wacom stylus' are known for more than others I have used. While it feels better in the hand than the stock Surface pen, I think the sensor is a bit higher up, and hence the creep is exaggerated the further the pen is tilted over. Calibrating the Wacom system while holding the pen in your usual manner should improve it, but at the extreme corners it will probably wander a little no matter what.

There's a step by step guide in the disc as well. It took me a couple of hours to figure it out. Make sure you don't already have a wacom driver installed in your computer or it won't work. Also try live chat with their customer service at monoprice. They're friendly and was pretty helpful.

To be honest, it's this being a cheap piece of crap. Mine only worked for a few months. It may be driver issues, or a mouse problem. By mouse problem I mean if you have a mouse connected at the same time then your tablet won't work. Next time get a wacom bamboo. They are about 60 bucks, but they are worth it.

cristian you have to ck with MS Specs. the pen was designed for Android systems I think. it has a small electronic package in it. go to frys and try out the bamboo pen which is speced for tablets.

The pressure-detection on your bluetooth tablet is 512 levels, while this pen's sensitivity covers 1024 levels. As all of the pressure sensing hardware is in the pen, I'd assume they are not compatible. Wacom pens are generally specifically and exclusively compatible with their stated tablet type (though I believe some Cintiqs share compatibility with contemporaneously-released Intuos models). The classic pen style looks the same throughout all avaliable generations, but that's as far as it goes. The guts are upgraded with each generation and are not backward compatible. If you're desperate, you may try a later Graphire pen, if you can find one.

well my last tablet, a bamboo didn't have a eraser either and I've gotten use to programming one of the buttons on the pen to erase. I've had CTL480 for about a week now and it's working great for me. I use it for drawing and animation.

This pen only works with specific models of bamboo wacom tablets- things such as the bamboo fun, bamboo pen & touch, etc.
