Having owned and used Wacom tablets for years, I’m wary to try the competition. Wacom is the big name in tablet technologies, and owns patents on their various technologies to make pen-tracking and pressure-sensitivity reporting possible. Competition has been notoriously scarce, and of reliably poor quality. Wacom’s serious drawback is their price point, which can easily top $400 for a medium-sized tablet. For just this reason, I purchased the smallest tablet I could from them nearly seven years ago and have not upgraded. Recently they’ve tried to entice a more diverse audience with their Bamboo™ line, but Genius is here to challenge that dominance. The MousePen i608 offers similar functionality for a fraction of the price. If it plays as well as Wacom’s tablets, I’ll be challenging my marching orders for a future upgrade!
