i got a 9 x 12 in wacom intuos 3 tablet off
ebay.
so far it has been good, i use it for just about everything now, & have been using it in place of a traditional mouse & mouse pad.
I have it right up in front of my external monitor. Typing is a little awkward, I have to move my external keyboard back & forth for when I want to type at any length.
I have been using it with adobe photoshop & have done some drawing with it. Have yet to explore all its possibilities.
One thing I have noticed is the right bottom half is a bit squeaky, it is hard to describe, when I rest some of my arm, wrist & hand on it to use the input pen, it squeaks.
Is there anything I can do about this? i guess it is minor, it does not seem to affect it's function.
Also, can anyone recommend the best arrangement for it on my desk with the keyboard? right now I move the keyboard back & forth when I need to type, & move it off to the side when I need the tablet surface.
I am at an older wooden desk with a shallow pull out drawer in front.
