One reason I hate my tablet (sorta kinda)

Posted by anthonyloprimo on Feb. 9, 2011, 4:03 a.m.

I thought my mouse was on the spazz, not letting me move it (I'd move the mouse and the pointer would move and jump back to a point. I though I had a virus… NOD32 comes back clean. I re-attach my mouse. Nothing..

Then I look at my tablet, and see that the point of the pen is in the sensitive area, making my cursor jump to that point on the screen. I felt excessively stupid just then. And this isn't the first time I've done this. :/

I've done it too, took me a while to figure out what was wrong haha

I guess it's a good thing I punched the desk because when I noticed that the tablet pen and mouse position on the screen moved at the same time, I saw the problem.

@reidd That's basically what I've done. It's annoying. It's even worse cause this is the second time today I did that, and… like the 4th time for me to have done it at all since I owned a tablet…. haha.

I miss my tablet PC. Hopefully I can get it fixed to squeeze just a little bit more life out of it until I can buy a brand spanking new one…

I do that all the time, fyi:Get used to using the pen holder they give with the set.

@JuurianChi I lost the holder. It's not a big deal though; I only do it when I'm lost in drawing - or trying to, haha. I should have held onto it though.

I get that problem with any FPS game that locks in the mouse, and then it dies and I'm forced to attempt to use task manager without a mouse.
