Thanks for your answers ! I didn't know so may people used a tablet ! 90% of the designers around me use mouse.
I also use a tablet (intuos 4) for modeling, painting, and even animate 80~90% of the time, but for that 20~10% and for some other things like data management, coding, excel, etc. I do need a mouse. I googled "3m ergonomic mouse". Wow! That looks like a joystick! I guess it lowers the stress in your wrist but can you have precision with something like that? like shooting headshots precision? I'll have to dig a little more because I'm still not sure how it works. btw I also have a Microsoft wireless (can't remember the model) but it came with my natural wireless keyboard and is a little ergonomic (diagonal grip) and it feels awkward, like grabbing a baseball, and drawing with the left side of your palm. Gaming would be out of the question with this one, not that I'll game with it, I'm just talking about precision. I don't think we have QPad products locally :( The Logitech G602 seems cool, like an old Logitech gaming mouse with a rubber wheel ! I'll check out in my local store. Miquel, the Microsoft sculpt ergonomic mouse doesn't look bad, but the keyboard looks pretty nice. I may change my old and giant MS Natural Keyboard. btw, I can't code in "normal" keyboards and without wrist pads anymore. Thanks!
