Depending on what you plan on doing with it, you should be able to buy an older one at a significant discount. I like that all the power is in the tablet; so the wireless mouse that came with my wacom doesn't require power (just like the stylus). On the downside, it can be cumbersome if/when you are limited for desk space.
I'd try to borrow one first. In my experiences, it can be hit or miss if you enjoy using it. -- Espi On Tue, Mar 28, 2017 at 11:48 PM, Kurt Buff <kurt.b...@gmail.com> wrote: > Then it's got to be easier than using the trackpoint in my laptop! :) > > Mice and touchpaads - I just don't like them any more. > > Maybe I can con my manager into buying one for me... > > Kurt > > On Tue, Mar 28, 2017 at 7:48 PM, Don Ely <don....@gmail.com> wrote: > > It's much easier than using a mouse to draw links! > > > > On Mar 28, 2017 7:45 PM, "Kurt Buff" <kurt.b...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> > >> Hmmmm..... > >> > >> Wacom tablet and Visio? > >> > >> Never used a drawing tablet.
