DRAWING TABLET

A drawing tablet can alleviate or prevent many RSI complaints. This was also the case for Marthe. She bought the Wacom Intuos S Bluetooth drawing tablet and says: “This tablet helps me with RSI because I adopt a much more natural posture while working (from home). The pen ensures that my hand doesn't get stuck on my mouse with my wrist and hand in an unnatural position. It took some trying out, but now all settings are to my liking.” Anne and W.w. R bought the same tablet and they are also very pleased with it: “A nice compact drawing tablet. Definitely for beginners too.”

Antje purchased the Wacom Intuos and states that it is very pleasant for sketching and drawing: “Very accurate, I would recommend it to everyone”. Marloes also uses the same tablet for the same purpose: “I can create beautiful drawings via Adobe Illustrator”.

A drawing tablet is a great tool for graphic designers, among others. With a high-quality tablet, such as those from Wacom, you can conjure up amazing creations on your screen. The drawing tablet is becoming increasingly important due to the rise of social media and webshops, for example. That one beautiful banner needs to be created for the latest discount promotion. And that left eyebrow could be a bit thicker before the newest post is placed on Instagram.

In addition to professions that truly use the drawing tablet for their creative arts, you see it more and more often with users who only have it for mousing. It is easy and quick to operate. The surface of the tablet adopts the proportions of your screen. So you can effortlessly navigate anywhere on your screen. You can hold the pen relaxed and manoeuvre from your hand, wrist, and arm.

The great physical advantage of a pen tablet is the ability to operate it left-handed and right-handed. Place it directly in front of your body, and you have a comfortable central posture that relieves the shoulders. Do make sure that you can still easily reach your keyboard. For frequent mousing, you can temporarily slide the keyboard aside. The same applies to intensive typing.

Should you be wondering: a drawing tablet is not a replacement for a regular ergonomic mouse. For the true designers and other creatives among us, a drawing tablet is probably an indispensable product due to its drawing and sketching capabilities, but the tablet is not suitable for browsing the internet.
