p.2 #1 · Wacom Tablet

I bought a used Intuos3 4x5 over a year ago and simply haven't gotten in to using it. I've tried a number of times but keep going back to the mouse. However, I'm also not selling it (yet). I am quite precise with a mouse, however, and stink at drawing so maybe that's why

One piece of advice:

In terms of desk real estate I was kind of excited about the notion of replacing my m ouse with the Wacom as well since it comes with a wireless mouse that you use on the pad if you want. This would probably lead to me using the pad more since I dont' have to dig it out, plug it in, find somewhere to put it etc... Unfortunately the 4x5 is not a large enough pad for mousing in my opinion. Something like a 6x8 may be perfect to do double duty.

Use whatever aspect ratio your display is. You don't want to use a 4x5 on a widescreen LCD. Your movements won't be proportional or you will not be able to use all of the tablet area. I use a 6x11 with my 24" (with a 20" alongside it but mapped the Wacom to the 24 and small part of the 20 for Photoshop).

I have 22 and 30" monitors and the 4X5" is just fine. But the Wacom will not replace the mouse. I use both, carefully, since I switched to mousing with my left hand.
