It’s very satisfying to scroll by hovering and flicking your pen, highlighting text the way you would in a book, physically dragging paragraphs down the page to reorder them, and cutting and pasting with one tap of a button. But once you’re fluid with it, it’s more efficient, ergonomic, and fun than a mouse. And you’ll want to practice tucking it into your thumb crease while you type to make the switch between navigating and writing faster. Your hand might be sore for the first few days. Yes, holding a pen for several hours on end takes some getting used to. This was partially because the interface was more efficient, but it was also psychological: what do we associate more with writing than pens? Just using it, even for ordinary articles, seemed to put me in more of a creative mode than using a mouse and keyboard. The Cintiq is the best art tool I’ve ever used, but I recently realized I miss using the flat tablet for other work. I now use a Wacom Cintiq 16 for art, and a Logitech gaming mouse for everything else. This will be a guide to how to set up the Wacom Intuos - or any Wacom tablet with ExpressKey buttons, or any Wacom tablet paired with an ExpressKey Remote - as a powerful productivity aid for noveling, freelancing, coding, teaching online, or just general office work.īefore writing for Wacom’s blog was even on my radar, I used an Intuos Pen & Touch tablet as a full-time mouse replacement for four years. Though they’re commonly called “drawing tablets,” Wacom pen tablets are also excellent mouse replacements that can be utilized for plenty of tasks other than drawing - including writing.
