Wacom tablets

[ratcreature]

Are any of the currently sold low to mid price range Wacom tablets supported by Linux? My current one (an old Wacom Volito) doesn't really work anymore, and I wanted to buy a new one (not spending more than €100-150, preferably even less, I don't need a large or high end tablet, as long as I can use a pen and have pressure sensitivity), but the small Bamboo Pen & Touch, that is listed as supported on the linuxwacom project wiki, doesn't seem to be sold anymore, and actually all the listed tablets don't seem to be available anymore, and when I google for the successor models (such as Wacom CTH-480S-DEIT Intuos Pen&Touch, or Wacom CTL-480S Intuos Pen Small) and Linux I see only forum questions about the drivers not working for them. Am I misinterpreting this?

Has anyone here recently bought a graphics tablet? Is there *any* affordable Wacom tablet model I could buy right now that would work? I don't want to spend money and then have my tablet be a brick, I only have Linux computers.

I got a Wacom Bamboo pen to use on my Samsung phablet for Xmas, and it didn't work right -- the cursor tracked the end of the pen not the end of the pen tip, and it was basically unusable as a drawing tool. So I can't recommend those, although since I bet it's a software issue I'm hoping that if I try one again in six months it'll work.

Thanks for sharing another data point, even if it is not encouraging. :(

I guess I'll have to hope for the linuxwacom project to catch up with the current models, or look for a used tablet.
