![]() Styluses for active digitizers (such as in the M1400 and Cintiq) can run you as much as $90 a pop! So don't drop 'em! However, I still manage to go through them like sharks teeth so I have a spare one always at the ready because if an important job comes in I can't be crippled with a busted stylus. If you drop it, you could knock it outta whack and your pen will behave very screwy. They wear out quickly though! The stroke nib adds a springy feel to the pen, but I'm not so hot on it because it skids too easily just like the standard plastic nibsĭon't ever drop your stylus! The tip contains a very sensitive strain-gauge - like a micro-scale. ![]() The felt nib is fantastic and really helps things feel like pencil-on-paper on both the cintiq and tabletPC. In addition, all of the accessory tips that you can get for Intuos3 tablets (felt nib, stroke nib) are compatible with the Cintiq styluses and the stylus that comes with the tabletPC. It's nice not to have to swap for different styluses to work between the two computers! When it comes to pressure sensing, all three styluses behave the same as they would on my Cintiq.Īt home in my studio, I have a Cintiq 18SX and I sometimes work with a tabletPC in one hand with the Cintiq 18SX beside me. Now that the bad news is over with, the good news is that I can use a Cintiq 15SX, Cintiq 18SX or the built in stylus with my tablet PC. I say these up front because these are my BIGGEST beefs with any tablet-display screen and I don't want to have anyone run off and buy a tabletPC or Cintiq without at least being warned about this. The new Cintiq 21UX does, however, but it's stylus is not compatible with the tabletPC or any of the older Cintiqs as it relies on Intuos3 technology. ![]() TabletPC's and any of the Cintiq 18SX or 15SX models do NOT support tilt sensing either. ![]() I've lost sleep over this situation so for the time being, I am slowly training myself to keep my eyes on the cursor, not my pen-tip (A hard thing for a die-hard fountain pen user) It also interferes with my tactile sense a bit because with a real fountain pen I can put lines exactly where I want even with my eyes closed. Often, it's a few pixels off, and it's enough to drive you batty. This means that it's VERY hard to get good synchronization between where the on-screen cursor and your physical pen-tip line up. TabletPC's (and WACOM Cintiq displays) all suffer from less-than-accurate calibration. I recently upgraded it to 1 GB of ram(I highly recommend this), and it is running Windows XP TabletPC 2005.ĬALIBRATION AND ACCURACY!! Please read this! Malcooning > my tablet of choice was a refurbished Motion Computing 1400 with a View Anywhere screen that I purchased on EBay from a local seller for $1300, taxes and shipping included. ![]()
