Mouse vs. tablet

[Pryme8]

" The stylus wears out within a years time of use.
If you don't get the right size tablet for your needs it will frustrate you.
They are very expensive.
If you don't have the right calibration software they won't work right."


it does not wear out if you have the correct nibs, and replace them when they need it... also as long as you dont hulk smash on it it will be fine... Ive had a bamboo for over 4 years and use it everyday constantly no problems...

the size of the stylus is not important as the resolution relationship between your screen and your pad... set your pads settings to constrict drawing area to relate to screen size, and have it proportionate it will fix any little brain snags because it will get your hand eye lined up better... if $100 bucks is expensive then yes go get a microsoft mouse.... but in reality if you are looking for a good mouse that has extreemly high DPI or a 3d mouse like im thinking you will need http://blog.grabcad.com/2010/08/best...all-3d-device/

can be just as expensive...

honestly buy a wacom pen and touch or something, and then buy some felt nibs and learn to love your stylus... if it feels weird look up some tutorials on how to set it up correctly and some tricks for using it...

Yup. I agree with all this. As stated in the very first post, I've had a Wacom Intous for several years now and it is still working great.
