Bamboo Fun Pen Tablet Promises the Feel of a Real Pen on Paper

I’ve tried working with Pen tablets in the past, the but never could use one for longer than 10 minutes because it didn’t feel natural. In order for me to draw successfully, I need to feel like I’m using a real pen or pencil on paper, not a piece of plastic on plastic. The new Bamboo Fun claims to create the natural feel of pen-on-paper, and if those claims are true then I am sold. Aimed at the average home user, as opposed to creative pros who have mostly monopolized the expensive pen-tablet market, the Bamboo Fun is pretty affordably priced at $99 for the small version and $199 for the medium. The tablet comes with a pen and mouse, a pen stand, USB cable and a DVD with Adobe Photoshop Elements 5, Corel Painter Essentials 3.0, and Nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 GE. Overall, that is a pretty complete package and that might be enough to entice some of us average folks to look past our mice.
