Spent about 15 minutes messing around with the Wacom tablet for which I will be interviewed tomorrow. It’s smaller than my Cintiq and Graphire, but the drawing feels infinitely more precise. The software radial menu is a neat idea and I hope to play with it a bit more. But that actually leads me to one small issue which I know is totally all on me. The extra hardware-based interaction options which come with it (screen-neighbouring buttons / wheel) are a little overwhelming. I’ve had over ten years of “left hand on the keyboard for shortcuts” muscle memory pretty much hard-coded, so I am a bit uncomfortable having my hand on the Wacom itself, but I suppose that I’ll get the hang of it at some point. The fact that the buttons have lit-up text naming each function on the tablet itself is pretty effing awesome, so at least I won’t forget what each button does. And the way I figure, if I got used to using a 13 button mouse, an 8 button tablet shouldn’t be that bad.
