Advantages: feels and looks good, customisable buttons Disadvantages: scratchy for some, buttons easy to click by mistake
The Wacom Bamboo One Pen is the stylus for Wacom Bamboo Graphics tablets, and unlike many graphic tablet pens, has hosts of extra features and functionality.
LOOK & FEEL
The stylus is a sleek, polished looking thing that sits comfortably in the hand and is a very similar size to a fountain pen. It sits well for use, but the buttons on the pen (see photo above) are a little too easy to click unintentionally, so make sure the pen stays at the same angle in the hand. The stylus is silver, with a gloss top half and matt bottom half, and the buttons lie a couple of centimetres from the nib itself.
The nib is white and a good size, small enough to lend accuracy but large enough not to be scratchy, and the stylus curves gently into the nib, which is a seperate piece of plastic. There is no clip on the stylus.

The eraser on the back is actualy usefull. I used to tap the eraser/brush shortcuts madly back and forth, but turned out that after some time I started to prefer flipping the pen for erasing better, so when I am going into photoshop I can safely put the keyboard away.
The only thing that I do find a little unpracticle though is the top half of the button. I am not sure it may be my hand - but I am always having hard time repositioning my fingers to click the button.
The pen tips are provided in different materials, and in couple of individuals - but honestly, I had one tip ...
Advantages: The best in its field Disadvantages: Costs around £800
As I am taking an A-Level in Graphics, we are constantly receiving freebies to try and test and recently, we received one of the high market Wacom models. The Cintiq 12WX came to our college wrapped in technological warmth and love, and with every part we opened, I soon found that this model was nothing like the others. The model consists of a small, thin A4 size piece of equipment with a smooth anti scratch screen and Digital Pen. I had heard that it was just like using a digital form of paper to store work, but I hadn't expected a technological wonder piece. After connecting the Wacom to a computer, the creature seemed to stir and hum as the lights slowly turned on. It felt like I was powering up a spaceship for launch, never before have I felt so much passion for a piece of machinery (in essence). I was the lucky one to have the first ...
