Mouse vs. tablet

[Alexander Phillips]

I started to try my own map drawing and came to the conclusion, I have to have a tablet. And in the last posts I found the Huion 1060Plus tablet and I'm pretty sure I'll get that one and start to bring something visual to my fantasy world

I'm sure you will have a lot more fun with a tablet than drawing with your mouse!

I used a small Wacom Graphire 3 for 14 years, but the last years it was driving me crazy, as there are no new drivers for my Macbook and I used a workaround that didn't work that well. Since January I own an XP-Pen Artist 16 and I love it! If I had the money I would have bought a Wacom Cintiq, but the XP-Pen Artist was expensive enough (altough a lot cheaper than a Wacom). But it was worth its money and I also use it as a second monitor.

You won't regret it. I really can't say how much the difference in use between the Huion and Wacom is, but for me, the Huion is great value. If I ever start making real money from my maps (which I hope to one day) I might upgrade but that day is very far off.

I don't know about Hiuion but I had an Aiptek, which is a rebrand of a number of the Taiwan brands and the Wacom technology is so much better, as are their updates. I had a Wacom Graphire in the 90s, an Aiptek in the 2000s, I the upgraded to a Wacom Bamboo in 2009 and now I have a Wacom Intous 4. The Wacom's technology is so so much better than anyone else. My first Graphire. was as small but my other were medium. I would recommend the medium. I would also recommend used on eBay, where I got my Intous 4 for just over $100n with shipping. I think using a tablet is much better than a mouse but you need to get used to it, it is a bit different than drawing on paper. Give it time and you'll definitely appreciate the difference..

I saw the thread title and thought...
Mouse [guild member] versus Tablet... like it was a showdown
ok. Nothing to see here. Move along.....

Oh but wouldn't that be a grand battle? We could sell tickets and popcorn, maybe make a little bank?

Hardware-wise, I'd say tablet, no hesitation. But talking real life, I'd take Sue over a tablet anytime !

Well I'm still waiting for this here 'Tablet' to make an appearance!

Did you checked there was no member named "Tablet" ?

Ahem...

Nope - there's no 'Tablet' in here, so I'm not sure who put this fight up on the board, but he or she needs to check their records a bit more thoroughly

Honestly! I got myself all done up for it as well!
