Mine came about 30 minutes ago. It installed fine in a Vista Home premium system and seems to be working OK. I still need to play around with it, but so far this is a really good Woot deal.

Check and see if your tablet LED is flashing like crazy. If so, reboot. When windows starts up, you shouldn't be flashing at all. Try your pen now.




Thanks for the tip! I was doing all of this last night on my XP machine and the tablet light was going crazy and the pen was not working as you described. I even rebooted last night, but still had the same problem and boxed everything back up.

After reading your comment, I tried again this morning and it's working now! Maybe completely unplugging the USB cable is what helped in addition to the reboot? The LED still does not light up on the pen, but at least it works now... thanks again!

Got mine a couple of hours ago as well; seems to be working well with OS X 10.4.11 but I can't get the multi-level sensitivity to show up in my legacy programs (Photoshop & Painter Classic). I'll keep playing!

If I cannot earn your respect, please allow me to purchase it from you.

I think in Photoshop you need to go to the brushes tab and then shape dynamics and/or other dynamics to get pen sensitivity working.

this is rediculous. yesterday(20th) the fedex update said it would come in on the 20th. nothing. its 3:35 on the 21st and still no sign of it. just checked the fedex site and it still says "package info being transmitted to fedex" or something like that. its said that since the 17th when it was supposedly shipped. now it doesnt even say an expected arrival date! what is going on! i just want my tablet! is this still happening to anyone else?!

Works great on my Vista Ultimate laptop! Trained it for handwriting recognition using Microsoft's tablet software and it's how I'm composing this right now! Sweet damn Woot!

Yes, it is actually. Status on FedEx site: "Package data transmitted to FedEx"

Sent Woot! an e-mail yesterday. Still no reply. FedEx just came and dropped off my 4Gb e260 mp3 player (purchased the day after this woot). That's charging up right now. So there is definitely some sort of shipping problem here.

The uc logic website does not seem to be there anymore.

I found an alternate support website: http://www.superpen.com/

I installed this on 2 different Dell XP systems. One made me reboot 4 times before it finished installing and would work. The other I had to install, uninstall and re-install for it to work. Now that its drivers are installed, it works great. The additional included programs work well too. My 16 year old daughter is having a blast drawing in Photoshop Elements and even MS Paint.

Just went to the UC-Logic site to download the latest driver, which seems to be the same as the one on the CD anyway. But anyway the site is there and up. Maybe it was down for a while or something.

I managed, with some fiddling, to get it working with Ubuntu. The issue I have is that if I don't boot with it plugged in then Ubuntu doesn't use it. Plug in, boot up, log in, DON'T touch your mouse, then it works. That seems to be the issue I'm investigating now.

I gave it a try with Ubuntu also. I could get it to work like a mouse, but I tried it in a couple of different drawing programs and couldn't get it to do anything except move the cursor.

I got everything to work, including pressure sensitivity in Gimp and Inkscape. Not too bad for a few hours fiddling.

Fedex said that while the shipper generated a shipping,label for the package, as of yest. it hadnt been 'tendered to Fedex for shipment'. My tracking number hasnt shown any activity either. I did email after the reply from Fedex........

I'm in the same boat as all the other posts about not receiving this yet... It seems like some people have received the shipment without any tracking updates at all, so hopefully that's what's happening in my case.

where did you download an updated driver? i can't get the driver that comes with it to work...

I have Mac OS 10.4.11 and the included drivers didn't work. Downloading and installing the Leopard (10.5) drivers linked by others (http://www.uc-logic.com.tr/download/OSX_Leopard.zip) worked for me, strangely.

However none of the included software appears to be installable on a Mac. I really wanted the one that would let me annotate Word documents. Anyone else know of other Mac compatible software for this?

every time my expected arrival date rolls around, i look at the tracking and it's been moved to the next day. first it was supposed to get here the 20th, then the 23rd, and today it says the 24th.
kind of annoying.

I'm having the same problem. when I got my tracking number and expected date. but now I just get : Jun 16, 2008 5:24 PM Package data transmitted to FedEx . It's getting really fustrating, that the shipping is getting messed up or whatever is going on.

I've only orly ordered 3 things from woot, two of the three being shipped still. but when I ordered my zune a couple of months ago I had no problems with shipping at all. and the other item that was ordred recived its tracking number today and has no problems so far. probably just a mess up on fed-ex's side I'm guessing.

rboyce: Same again for OS X 10.4. No joy with driver on CD; downloaded driver works as advertised. Bought it to use with Artrage (http://www.artrage.com/) for the pressure sensitivity. Reasonably-priced, capable painting program with delicious GUI!

No tablet. No new delivery date from FedEx. No response from Woot to my message to woot service. No anything. First problem with Woot, but it sure is frustrating.

Hang in there. Service isn't in the office over the weekend and typically takes a day or two to catch up when they hit the office on Monday. They should reply soon. However, if they don't, drop me a private message and I'll prod someone more directly.

I was having the same problems with shipping, FedEx site just said package data received. E-mailed Woot last night and they replied this morning with a new tracking number. Says its on the truck for delivery today! Now I've got to wait till I get home at 8:00 tonight ... so far away.

I posted yesterday about mine not working and the recurring problem about the 'driver did not load' message some folks with Macs are getting even after 'installing' the driver multiple times (my post is gone; not a problem.)

My question is has anyone had problems with this and was successful at getting returns information? I have emailed 3 times (last night, this morning, and just now) and still have not received even one reply. Am I stuck with this non-working thing?

Mine just arrived. Thankfully, tracking information was correct throughout the shipping process. FedEx left it on my back door, hopefully it will still be there when get home in an hour.

There was a time I preferred FedEx to UPS...

Mine was initially scheduled by FedEx for delivery on Friday but eventually showed up Tuesday after two delivery-estimate changes. But I am having a couple of problems, and without UC-Logic's website up, I can't seem to find any solutions.

1) Has anyone gotten pen sensitivity to work? I can't even get their little pressure control panel to respond to me.
2) Has anyone been able to calibrate it to your screen? The sides of my tablet don't really line up with the sides of the tablet (although it's close).

For reference, I have a dual-screen widescreen setup, and it seems to work just fine, although it's flaky. If I plug it into USB after the laptop is already booted, the pen will reference the entire dual-monitor area (i.e. the left side of the tablet points to the left side of the left monitor and the right side of the tablet points to the right side of the right monitor). But, if it's plugged in when I boot, it will only refer the primary monitor. Which I think is a little weird.

Yeah, well:

Fedex is insisting that woot still hasn't shipped the package, but the rep from woot says that they have, and meanwhile I have no tablet.

So... what the heck? Great first-time buy on woot!
