Mouse vs. tablet

[Kellerica]

Interesting , do you recomend this Xencelabs 24 ? I always went for wacom but it always gived me all sort of anoying calbe issues and problems that honestly it ****ed me to the point that sometimes it make me unwilling to use preferring mouse.

What I dislike most of the digital screen painti/drawing is that it doesn't feel at all as a paper pen and there is a big distance for me from the tip of the pen and the actual cursor on the screen , for not talking of the delay eventually and the pressure difference.
You say this is the most close to paper like experience available on market right now?

For my money, I'd absolutely recommend it.

I obviously haven't had a chance to sample every other device out there, so I'm not comfortable stating that "it's the most close to paper like experience on the market right now", but I can defnitely say that the difference between my old Cintiq and the new Xencelabs is extremely stark. The distance between the pen tip and the cursor on the screen (a.k.a. parallax) is almost non-existant on the new one, although there still is a tiny little gap there. Not sure if it is even possible for there to be no parallax whatsoever, I'd imagine there always needs to be some form of protective glass on top of the screen itself, but at least the techonology seems to have come a long way in the last 10+ years.

As far as the paper feel, I have been really impressed with the surface of the tablet. It has a nice matte finish that at least to me, feels much more like actual paper than a lot of other tablets I've seen over the years.

I haven't really noticed any delay or problems with pressure when drawing, but then again I have been exclusively using a pen display for drawing for the past 8 years. I have at this point completely forgotten what it feels like to draw traditionally or with non-display tablet, so I'm probably not the greatest measuring stick here. I tend to draw with fairly slow and careful strokes too, so I probably wouldn't really notice a delay easily even if there was one.

But at the end of the day, a digital pen display is always digital, and I doubt they will ever get to a point where they feel exactly like real paper. I think it boils down to what you prefer.
