I have recently bought a WACOM graphics tablet and have found it very useful. In fact it is far easier to use than a mouse. I bought it because I wanted more control with certain areas of Elements and intended to keep my cordless mouse for everything else. I haven't used the mouse since then. It is far more accurate and I don't suffer with arm ache. As I have arthritis in my hands the size of the pen was important. Well, it fits great and far more pleasant to use.

Just thought I would post this so if anyone out there is thinking of buying one, this is a bit of review. :rolleyes:

I have difficulty with fine control when using a mouse and picked up a small WACOM tablet off ebay which has helped greatly. it's a bit strange at first but as you say once you great used to it the mouse is out of a job. :rolleyes:

i,ve been wondering about a grapics tablet but was,nt too sure, but think i will give one a go now reading your posts, thanks thumbup

Hi Angela. I hope you find your graphics tablet as easy to use as I have. It does take a little practise to get going but I really would not want to go back to a mouse again. I would say that I considered buying a cheaper version than WACOM but read some awful reviews about it. (Sorry can't remember the manufacturers name). I bought mine from Jessops but I know Warehouseexpress sell them. Check the Wacom site as well.

Anyway, good luck (nod-yes)

will let you know whenever i get one and how i get on with it,might be a while though as there are a few other bits i need at the minite :rolleyes:
