Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I've had this pad for about 2 weeks now. I ignored the bad reviews below because I've used gravis products before. The manual for this is somewhat lacking, which I think is the reason for the bad reviews. The pad didn't ship with windows xp software, so I had to download it from the gravis website...which made me a bit aprehensive. But after downloading the new software (the pad WILL NOT work without it) it's working just fine. The program can be a little confusing at first, but it's actually pretty simple. The pad itself is top notch, the software should be of the same calibre.
