Bought a used Wacom Intuos for $60 and it changed my vector tracing workflow

I was doing all my vector paths with a mouse for like 2 years and it was killing my wrist. Found a beat up Wacom Intuos small on Facebook Marketplace for 60 bucks, just needed a new USB cable. Now I crank out trace work in half the time, especially on those detailed city skyline projects. Has anyone else had a random cheap tool totally flip their speed around?

Got a used Intuos 4 for $50 at a garage sale a few years back. Completely changed how fast I can knock out pen tool work.

Did you have to fiddle much with driver stuff to get it working with whatever software you're using?

Got lucky with my Huion, barely touched any driver settings at all.

My Intuos 4 from a pawn shop for $40 still works perfect, funny how the cheap finds end up being the best tools.
