Tablet: Pen or Mouse mode?
Hey so today I got my second tablet (Wacom Intuos4 Medium). My first one was a bamboo but it got stolen at board school. Anyway my question is which do you prefer, Pen or Mouse mode? Pen mode is when the hotspot on the tablet represents the entire screen. Mouse mode is when the cursor moves like a mouse would. Let me know… -
Re: Tablet: Pen or Mouse mode?
I have my mouse in mouse mode for all three screens and I have my pen in pen mode for just my left most screen (where I run all my intensive programs). I had my pen set to mouse mode for the first few months, way back when I hardly ever used it. Now I use it far far more and there's really no way on earth you'd catch me… -
Re: Tablet: Pen or Mouse mode?
Didn't really know you COULD set a mouse mode for the tablet... as such, I'm quite used to Pen mode. If I tried to switch now, I'd have to completely rewire my brain. No complaints about doing it this way, once I got used to it :P -
Re: Tablet: Pen or Mouse mode?
i haven't used a tablet yet. but i was just wondering when you say mouse mode does that mean that you have to place the pen on the tablet and drag it around to move the courser, and pen mode means you can just press the pen anywhere and the courser jumps there? -
Re: Tablet: Pen or Mouse mode?
I prefer pen mode, I've actually recently tried to get used to mouse mode but I just couldn't, because you really need to lift your pen good or else it kinda like jumps back to where it was when you try to like flick it over to some place (I'm sure you know what I mean if you've tried it). -
Re: Tablet: Pen or Mouse mode?
When I first got a tablet I tried both ways, but found Pen Mode much more intuitive for me. I never have to think about where my mouse cursor is, or wave it around so I find it again. If I put the stylus down in the upper left corner, I know it's going to be exactly there on the monitor. Isn't there a bit more to it,… -
Re: Tablet: Pen or Mouse mode?
Pen mode. I mean, honestly, you're holding a pen. If you wanted to use mouse mode, use a mouse and don't pay $200+ for a tablet just to use it like a mouse. Y_M: The latest wacom drivers have a built in display toggle, at least it does on my intuos 4. Another option I've been looking into for that is a relatively cheap… -
Re: Tablet: Pen or Mouse mode?
I love these comments, i mean really.. I've set mine to mousemode for a long time now, I dont have to drag my whole hand across the damn thing every second, when i place it down it is less of a guess, more acurate, less dragging mistakes, i dont have to place the wacom right infront of me, so i can place it better with my… -

pen mode ftw -
Re: Tablet: Pen or Mouse mode?
I like pen mode for drawing/painting and stuff, but if I'm ever using the tablet for anything else (browsing the web, general computer use, games) I tend to switch it over to mouse.
