    After more then ten years using several Wacom Bamboo models and no mouse until one year ago where I restarted using it for specific work, I can't get used to my new Intuous...feels like either pulling or pushing the thing and it feels fucking heavy.

    When I want to click say for example a new tab in browser it seems to stop short before the tab and then starts slightly like flickering...

    Hardware issues?
    Sometimes nothing else is connected and it still happens.

    Feels like I'm doing exercise.
    Not to say that the pen material quality and feel is way worse than my last Bamboo...wtf?!

    • then = thanoey
    • The grip was better on bamboo? my old bamboo stylus was plain 'ol plastic and lacked any ergonomic contour.bezoar
    • believe, this intuos pen is pure cheap plastic and light as a feather. the other one was solid and with a thin rubber grip.oey
    • Wacom's weak point has always been their drivers and software - they add lots of 'helpers' which do nowt but get in the way - jump to button etc. Pure gash.face_melter
    • The cursor wiggle could be interference. A bad USB port/cable, or some radio interference if it's wireless. Try turning off a desk fan, speakers, etc.monNom
    • yo thanks! I'll try it!oey
    • I wish I had a desk fan this time of the year in Germany...oey
    • wacom each year: better hardware, shittier drivers. can't even rely on my intuos as my only input device anymorefourth
