Mouse vs. tablet

[RPMiller]

For anyone interested in a really inexpensive tablet there is one available right now on Tanga, but it is likely to go quick.

Hi guys, sorry for my absence. I've been a bit busy lately. I was curious if anyone else has a digipro tablet? I just got mine today and LOVE it. I'm doing just about everything with it so I can get used to it. One problem I'm having-there's the tip, two buttons on the side (programmable one is right-click, other is double-click) and then there's a button on the eraser-end. I can't find out how to program it to be the eraser, but I've seen online that's what it's used for... any clues?

It depends on which program you're using it in. I use gimp more than anything else, and gimp remembers the eraser and pen tip tools you've chosen separately. Very handy when sketching

I have a bamboo and my pen also has an eraser on the other end. With that all I have to do it turn it around and use it like I would an eraser on a pencil. It just uses the setting to which your eraser is set up in the software, even if eraser isn't currently selected.
I didn't have to change anything in the software to get this to work.

I think the software is my problem. It's a Digipro T-6000U. There's the disk that came with it, and no other drivers available for it. All I find are page after page of people complaining about the lack of drivers. When I open up the Control Panel for the Tablet, it shows the pen: tip is gray as it's not customizable, side buttons are highlighted in blue and can be customized, and the eraser button is lit up as blue too-only I can't click it to change it, and there isn't even a drop-down box TO change it. The eraser does nothing when flipped over to be used and nothing when I press the button. I've even tried holding it down to while sketching to see if that's how they wanted it used and nothing. I'll Screen Shot the window for the control panel when I get home and post it so you guys can see what I mean. Not a huge problem, as it's only an extra click to erase, but still, I'd like it if stuff worked like it should. lol.

Edit: I've done some research and found that Digipro is owned by UC-Logic but they don't even feature it on their site! The only drive update they have is a generic "Tablet Driver" that doesn't resolve the problem.

I want to buy DigiPro T6000U, but as i see there are some problems with driver for this tablet. I spent some time in the web, and I think that drivers for this tablet is avaible not from UC-Logic but from AIPTEK http://www.aiptek.com/drivers/hp6u/ for HyperPen 6000U .
And I want to ask the owner of DigiPro T6000U will this drivers resolve the problem, or not?
P.S. Sorry for my bad English

[vernontwinkie]

Actually, the problems don't really lie with the driver. The problem with the Digipro T6000U (that I have) is that the "eraser" button isn't an actual button. Past that, the tablet works great. You've found that Digipro is owned by UC-Logic and no doubt you've seen that they don't even acknowledge that they make the T6000U. The driver that they offer is a generic driver for ANY tablet. It's not a bad deal for a tablet, but you may want to go with another model and get the full driver support. FYI: my tablet still works great!

And your English is just fine.

I just received a Bamboo pen and touch from my wife for my birthday. So far it's been quite interesting, but I've just gone through the tutorial and haven't done anything with PS just yet. I'll let you know what I think. This is my first tablet.
