well i was foolish and unorganized and lost the pen to my wacom tablet.:blush:

my question is: is there a way or place i can order just the pen to the tablet? or do i have to buy a whole new wacom in order to use a pen :(

question number 2: for the time being how do i change it so i can paint with the wacom mouse( i know everyone hates it but i actually enjoy using the wacom mouse :P ) would it be photoshop settings or in the tablet control panel?

thank you and i hope that this mistake will never happen again :banghead:

[EDIT] if this is in the wrong forum im really sorry and please direct me to the correct forum

Hi BenDstraw,

You can purchace a replacement pen from wacom's online store: http://direct.wacom.com

Also, the mouse is set up from within the tablet control panel.

hey i dont want to be a bother but i couldn't find anything in the tablet control panel that allowed me to paint with the mouse. for some reason photoshop will only let me paint with the pen but the pen is lost. Is it possible for me to paint while i wait for my pen to arrive?

Hi BenDstraw, all the control panel for the mouse should do it adjust the speed and acceleration of the mouse pointer. I mispoke a little before (to have the pen behave like a mouse there's a setting in the panel). When working properly, you should be able to just put the mouse on the tablet without doing anything else.

One thing to check is to make sure you aren't using an intous mouse with a graphite or a bamboo, or any of the other ways around. I'm fairly sure they wouldn't work since the pens don't work on other models.
