Wacom tablets easy to use - plug and play?

4 years 4 months ago #667728 by Howard Swanson
Here's a question for all you tablet owners and it's a straight forward one.  How easy and out of the box are these things  to use?  I find that doing detailed work, can be a PITA with a mouse.  Thinking one of these tablets could be handy to have? 

This is the one I'm looking at:

Unless you have another one better to look at? 

Thank you!

I got another Wacom model and it is pretty much plug
and play but, when it comes to functions and preferen-
ces, a bit of experience will get you through these.

I do a lot of my editing on the go, and had a Wacom, but didn't use it much because I always left it home.  But will say, these things are pretty much user friendly.

Yup, almost plug and play. The important thing is using it to become comfortable. I'd suggest removing the mouse for a while to make you learn the tablet.
The one you linked to is a great one.

Why so serious?

I want one of these SO bad.  Hope Santa hooks me up with one.

Tablets are like back button focus. You either love it or hate it. I have one and never use it. I'm quicker with the mouse. A lot of folks can't live without them so it's a highly personal thing.
