Review on Mafiti LCD Writing Tablet 8.5 Inch Electronic Writing Drawing Pad Portable Doodle Board Gifts For Kids Office Memo Home Whiteboard Black by Ryan Frawley

Everything works as it should but writing is very low contrast dark blue on dark gray so not striking. Oddly, I took a photo with my iPhone to post but the contrast was much higher in the photo than it was looking at the device itself. So the fairly high contrast images in the illustrations are probably artifacts of photographing these devices. I don’t think anyone meant to mislead, it’s just that when you use them the marks you make on the screen don’t stand out anything like the photos you see in the description. The erase button works as it should. I got these for the kids (2 & 5) so we’ll see what they think of them. For the price (2 for $14.99) they are worth trying but if you expect to write and have it stand out, well, that’s not going to happen.Later: Well, the kids love these pads. The lack of contrast doesn’t seem to bother them at all. I’ve increased my rating to "5 star” because I did get these as toys for the kids and for that, they’re awesome. He price is great. The pads don’t consume power from the battery unless they are actually in the process of erasing so the drawings persist until erased. Then a minute bit of power from the battery puts the pad ready for a fresh drawing. He pads are thin and lightweight. The pens store in the holder molded into the frame. Anyway buy them as toys. If you plan other uses, expect low contrast.
