Hello I recently got a new 22 inch drawing tablet. It's the MP 22-inch 1080p from IIIP. It's really nice and I'm enjoying it but Im having an issue with my setup. I just can't find a comfortable way to have my tablet and keyboard set up. The tablet has no side buttons so I need to use my keyboard to work the camera and commands in Zbrush. I was wondering how do you guys have your tablets and workstations set up? I think the main problem im running into is that my monitor doesn't have a stand so the bottom of it needs to be on a flat surface. Any advice for a left hander? Thanks!

    Radial menu
    Flicks
    Inscribe. 

    I've bound all my hotkeys and such to  radial  menu  and  access that  with  my  stylus

    I'm really wanting to us a switch controller for physical hottkeys

    My friend has a small portable logitech keyboard, it has a neat switch you can flip between the tablet or workstation dongle. I think he usually has it to the left of the tablet, which is in the center of his desk. This one, i think. Personally that would drive me nuts, I found one at a local store, and there's no way I could make it my main keyboard.

    Personally I just scoot my keyboard forward and I also use radial menus or screen controls. I was looking at something like the Razer Tantalus to have something smaller, but haven't decided yet.

    this really was a riddle for me with 2 monitors and an onscreen tablet (I also like to keep my galaxy note on a stand for reference) 

    my solution was keeping the space to the left of my keyboard clear then just rigging up all the macros I needed to custom profiles on the numpad.

    may even pickup a seperate usb numpad at some point so I can just have the hotkeys on that.

    I dual wield.  Keyboard gets tucked or sits on the left side of the tablet.  It's also a 10 keyless mechanical, so it doesn't take up that much space as a full one.  Left hand operates shortcuts on the keyboard
