Wacom Bamboo Pen?

Should I get it? I really need a graphics tablet and this one looked good and isn't too expensive for my puny little budget.
Is there maybe anything better for +/- the same price.

EDIT:

Price= 100$
Quality = pretty good
Budget = 60$ (have more but I'm saving and my mum is lending me the other 40$.)

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

Re: Wacom Bamboo Pen?

Well, this Monoprice Tablet is what I have.

Best thing ever. Fairly large (actual size is 14' by something) drawing space, cheap, and has 1024 levels of pressure. The pen itself has 2 buttons, which on mine emulate right and middle click. Buy a AAA battery though, mine was DOA. It's also wired, but I haven't run into any problems regarding that. Programmable hot keys, workspace, blah blah blah. Make sure you do what it says, install the software first. You only need the actual driver to make it work, only install the software if you need/want to.

The only downside is that it doesn't like my monitors' resolution (1440x900) or Win7 (haven't been able to tell), and sometimes will only work on a portion of the screen. Unplugging it, waiting a bit, then plugging it back in makes it work then.

Thanks, it looks and sounds awesome.
I'll consider it  smile
