While waiting for some official word on using tablets, I decided to share the settings that I am using.

Pen:

  • Nib is Click
  • Eraser is Right Click
  • Thumb button (not sure what the official name is) is Middle Click
  • All other pen options are default

Mapping: I use dual monitors, so I have the pad mapped to one monitor only.

Function Keys: I have an Intuos3 tablet, so I have 4 functions keys on the left and right. For the moment I'm ignoring the right-hand side. I'm sure I'll come up with things later. The functions on the left are -

  • Ctrl (default)
  • = (increase brush size)
  • - (decrease brush size)
  • Pan/Scroll (default)

I'm right handed, so I have the tablet to the right and keyboard to the left. I mostly keep my left hand on WASD, and use a combination of that plus the pen plus the thumb button to move around. Much easier than it sounds. When adjusting the brush sizes, I just left the pen out of sensor range and then click on the appropriate function button. So far this has been working well.

Now if some kind BioWare artist could tell me if (and if so how) they got pressure sensitivity to work *puppy dog eyes*
