I’ve been on a Wacom tablet (without display) for almost three decades now.
I was given one free, when Wacom was my client in my first job, and after a couple of days of awkwardness have never looked back.
In that time I have owned 4. Just upgraded to a 2025 model (the latest) recently.
I have large hands and using a mouse means my hand is resting more in the desk than the mouse. I find it uncomfortable and inaccurate.
I love being able to do graphical things with a pen and though I love the trackpad, prolonged use causes discomfort due to needing to keep my fingers under tension. The more precision you need on a trackpad the worse it gets.
I think the learning curve on tablets is hard to overcome. They feel weird for the first few hours. It’s worth trying to overcome.
Also around cheap tablets. Wacom survive for a reason.
