Pros:
- This product works, bottom line. I wanted to be able to walk around the entire classroom and still use the tablet, check.
- The battery is great, not sure it would last all day, but in between classes I usually plug it in and that gets me through three 80 minute periods a day, and I don't charge it when I leave the class.
- This thing has been used for two and a half school years now and seems to be working great (knock on wood)
- When we have visitors from district or other schools, they all comment and ask me what I am using in my classroom. They would like to try to get them to all the math teachers in the complex, and I would welcome anyone to try it for themselves. It has been that consistent.
Cons:
- It will drop out maybe, once a week (will just turn off, I press the power button, reconnect and go, no big deal usually). I'm not sure if it's just a battery thing or what, but I can't tell you that it works 100% everyday. (more like 97% to be honest).
- I can disrupt the signal however if I go all the way to the back of my class and hold it below my students' heads, I guess the signal then can't reach the dongle. So I believe it works best from afar if you maintain line of sight.
Conclusion:
Given the way that I use this everyday for work, I would almost guarantee that if you are doing an art or photo project with this and just want to say, work with it in your lap and connect it to your monitor or TV, it would be great. If I can walk to the other side of a crowded room with it, and use it all day, I think it will serve most people just fine. I would definitely buy this again if mine ever dies out (probably will eventually given the heavy usage).
Installation is very fast, Just pop out the rear battery cover and plop in the battery. Open the side door to plug in the wireless dongle and plug the receiver into your computer. The connection is very fast. From the minute you press the power button, the tablet connects to my computer via the wireless dongle. There's no hesitation or wait time. I can't tell if there is any perceivable lag compared to the wired version in terms of use. Both pen and touch functions seem instantaneous. After a few minutes of inactivity, the tablet turns off automatically to save power.
The system works so well I wonder why it was not incorporated into the tablet naively. As most of us who own Wacom tablets know, these things are quite expensive. Having a wireless solution natively would have been a much better idea than a separate attachment that you had to purchase. A part of me think this is just one of Wacom's strategies for you to spend more money on accessories.
My only issues so far is interference. Once in a while I've notice that the tablet spazes out and I have to turn it on and turn it off again. No big deal as all wireless devices are prone to the same issue. Most wireless devices share the same 2.4ghz spectrum. I try to keep my wireless mouse away from the tablet but sometimes it's unavoidable.
I would also have liked to see the power on button more pronounced in order to press by feel. Right now it's flush against the tablet side and you really can't find it if you're working in the dark or by feel.
Overall, it's a well made wireless module.
