Hello,

I'm looking for a pen tablet for personnal use (I'm not a pro) with phtoshop and painter.

After some surf on the net I selected 3 of them:

I know that the good answer is Wacom, but it's 100 Euros more than the NGS. So the real question is, what do I miss if I take the NGS or the Trust?

Thanks for any help.

I have a Trust TB 3100 that works quite well.  A bit temperamental at times, but unplugging and replugging the USB usually gets it to settle down.  I picked it up off eBay, so it wasn't as expensive as it could have been! :)

Hope that helps.

OK, thanks for your answers.

I'have been in a shop to try the NGS and Wacom. At the end of the day I decided for Wacom, first because the NGS pen was so weak that the demonstration one was half broken, and second the "touch" on the surface wasn't at all the same, and Wacom was hundreds times better than NGS. It's more than better, it's a pleasure to draw on wacom and comparatively you have the feeling to struggle on the NGS.

So, obviously it worth 100 Euros more. It' a long time investment (much longer than a PC...).

When in doubt, buy what the pros use...Wacom.
