Hi, I'm planning on buying a wacom very soon. The wacom max object seems great, although I'm wondering if anyone has had any different experiences using *bluetooth* tablets. I'm hoping it works find, that if the max object supports from the "driver up," and the driver packages seem to be fairly all-model-encompassing.

I saw a similar question a while back but it didn't get a response. This time?

The wireless graphire seems to use the same driver as the tethered version. The wacom object does take the tablet data in from the driver. I agree with your assessment: it probably should work. Let us know of your experiences, positive or negative.

Seems it should, though it's an expensive gamble for a pretty minor convenience. Really, I just hate using up one of my two USB ports on a laptop when it could be wireless. I may see if I can find someplace in Montreal to test one out, a graphic arts place or something.

Any news on this? Does anyone know if wireless wacom tablets work smoothly in max through bluetooth? Or are there latency problems, etc?

wacom bluetooth tablet support?
