 Much better quality than the original Graphire penOct 20, 2008
By zemes
Pros: Also compatible with the original Graphire tablets (CTE-xxx). Better than a mouse when used with a Wacom tablet; works with no bugs or issues; very good build quality; appears and feels reliable; comfortable to hold; and attractive appearance.
Cons: Price is a bit steep. But I double it as a mouse, so it's reasonable after all.
This also works with the original Graphire tablets (CTE-xxx). I bought it to replace my less than two year old Graphire pen. This is of much much better quality. Looks like Wacom has realized that it made a terrible pen for an otherwise excellent tablet for the Graphires. The Graphire pen was extremely unreliable and also very uncomfortable. I heard many complaints and those complaints had a reason. The Graphire pen had a terrible design, especially with the rubber covering. The buttons themselves surrounded by the rubber clothing were also poorly made. It never felt good in your hand, and it became nearly unusable after a short time. I torn away the rubber clothing and continued to use the pen for another half a year, and the thing eventually became so bad that it was completely unusable.
I'm glad that Wacom made the new pens for the new Bamboo tablets compatible with the older Graphire tablets. So far, it seems 100% compatible and I've run into absolutely no issues. The new pen is better in all aspects. The buttons are much easier to access and are much better designed and made. And it lost the hated rubber cover. If you have ever used the older Graphite pen, you will especially appreciate the improvement made by this one.

Wacom bamboo (pen)Feb 27, 2009
By Christine
"C.G"
The Wacom Bamboo pen is really something else, at least, compared to my old Graphire 4.
The sensitivity is pretty amazing--really, it has a lot of depth. It took me a few days to get used to it, actually!
I bought two graphire 4 tablets-- both pens, at around the same time first started losing buttons, and then the eraser would give out...then it wouldn't work right etcetcetc, whatever was wrong with those has been fixed with this. I've had it for quite a bit now and nothing is falling off or has stopped responding. The only reason why I had to get a new one was because my dog ate the end off of my other. It's been noted that it feels comfortable in your hand, and this is also true!
Because I knew just what I was purchasing, I didn't need to know anything ahead of time. It could be noted that the pen seems to be interchangeable with other tablets. But I'm not sure on how many. Bamboo Fun Pen Black

new pen for old tabletSep 09, 2009
By Corvo
I got a Wacom CTE-430 Graphire tablet some years ago, then at one point sat on the pen and broke it. The Bamboo fun pen works perfectly with my old tablet, and everything installed right the first time on OS X 10.5.7, and it responds to pressure in Photoshop without a hitch. It is nicer to hold than the old pen, the rocker button works more cleanly, and it's nicer looking too. A little more money and I could have bought a new tablet, though, and I was tempted. But luckily I am cheap, and now I am pleased with my purchase.

By jessica
cool product, but the pen point broke quickly. i called wacom customer care who said 'the pen is bad buy a new one'. apparently the sensor inside the point regularly goes bad and i should buy a new one on their website ($69?! for another pen thats just going to break?!) i'm not about to buy a new one from this company, even for half the price on amazon, ill switch brands first.

Wacom Bamboo Fun PenJun 29, 2009
By Kurt Neiswanger
I needed to replace the pen for my 5+ year old Wacom Graphire tablet. My main concern was whether or not the new pen would work properly with the old tablet. No need for concern, it works perfectly and saved me the considerable expense of buying a whole new tablet.
