Two hands at once? Two wacoms?


#1

I am kinda ambidextrus (perhaps this is why my spelling is so bad). Anyway, when I used to paint, I would sometimes use both hands at the same time when I was generating textures or patturns.

If I buy another wacom pen then I assume I won’t be able to do this? I know that it is theoretically possible to use the pen and mouse at the same time (like in body paint… I think).

Does anyone have experience of this?

Far as I know the pen is mightier than the mouse. I’m right handed so I use a pen in the right and a mouse for the left. Some things just go better with a mouse click dunno why.

Wazzup anyhow John,… you think you gonna be twice as fast?
Why not be twice as good with one hand?

Man are you wierd! :slight_smile:

It depends, i doubt having 2 wacom’s means you’ll have 2 pointers, but i could be wrong.


#4

Yeah, I think I can paint twice as fast in some cases - and I can make my left hand do the mirror image of my right.

I do use my wacom mouse just for its buttons which is kinda handy but I don’t like the feel of it for anything else. I’m not expecting two pointers to appear if I buy another pen but maybe they will implement it one day?

Anyhoo… I was just thinking aloud really.

The Wacom2 A3 features 2 Pens at once, or? So this will work, but maybe not with 2 wacoms. But whats the advantage of 2 pointers? I never felt like to use 2.
I’ll should try to use the number “2” less.

— Sorry for my very bad english.

as long as you hold the mouse still, the wacom still drives the cursor, but you can use the right, middle and left buttons on the mouse to click, without disturbing your lines. helps if you are comfortable with both hands… but as far as havng 2 cursors at once i think thats an issue with the operating system have to support that somehow.
