Wacom Intuos2 Question "use Pen & Mouse ?"

[-W.-]

H.

Well i once read that you can use the Pen and the mouse at the same time with the Wacom Intuos 2.
I'm talking about the Wacom Mouse ,the one with the wheel ( 2D mouse ?) not my normal mouse.
The point was to program the mouse buttons and the wheel for special functions like changing the tools or the brushsize .
But i guess i have to shut off the mouse as pointer first somehow so i can place them both at the table without problems.

So any tips? Does that even work ?

thanks

That's a straaaaaaaaaaaange idea. But if it works for someone.. Personally I use my pen and keyboard.
Right Hand = Pen with bottom button set to "show/hide brush palette" and bottom button set to "show/hide palettes"
Left Hand = always on keyboard doing all sorts of shortcut contortions.

well i use the tap key but half the time i have to Show/Hide Palettes only to change the Brushsize.
Changing it with the wheel could be much easier.

Right Hand = Pen with bottom button set to "show/hide brush palette" and bottom button set to "show/hide palettes"

intresting but then you can't click or double click with the Pen anymose right ? (or only by tapping with the pen )

Silly me i just discoverd that's the standard for the pen buttons :rolleyes: i guess i will try it that way for a while.
