Title: FS SketchPad $65 shipped !!!NOW $60 SHIPPED!!!
Post by: crashwg on August 17, 2005, 07:37:37 am

I bought my GF a Graphire3 sketch pad a while back solely for the purpose of playing iSketch but she no longer plays so it's just sitting here collecting dust...  ::)

So would anyone want this thing?  It's in perfect working and cosmetic condition.  Retail price is $99, here's it's web page! (http://www.wacom.com/graphire/4x5.cfm)

Hey crash,

I have one at work and love it, very nice because it's different than using a mouse. Excellent for my graphics programs! I wouldn't mind having one at home. How much are you looking to get for it and what color is the model?

How do these compare to Wacom boards?

I used a Graphire when playing around with Zbrush 2, they're good for the price.

If you create a lot of serious artwork consider a larger model with more surface area. The smaller pads just don't allow you to make very broad strokes. This can really limit your style or sketching ability.

For people who just want to dabble, it is more than sufficient. Graphics, CAD, general computer use, the smaller surface area is probably more preferred. Less travel distance to move around the cursor and less room to take up workspace. The software helps to configure things as well. It is very accurate too, that's why I would like a second one at home. As AD stated, it is indeed a WACOM tablet.

Especially consider one of these if you have RSI or carpel tunnel. It's a great way to change your routine on the computer. It has helped my hands dramatically since I got mine a few months ago. At one point my hands were so bad I could barely make a fist and hardly had any grip strength. I had to stop gaming and cut down on the amount of design work I did. I have improved significantly since adding one of these at work and making some changes in my ergonomics and computer habits in my environments.

All those who seemed interested have fallen through so the SketchPad is still available.
