Tim!
This is the best thing going for input.
All you have to do is program the area of the tablet
you want to use.
I use only a 2x2 area approx.for two monitors,with that
area you do not move anything but your fingers.
The smaller tablets do not allow for selecting only a portion
of the tablet, you have the best tablet available period.
I also use a trackball for things beside drawing or retouching,
keep them both .
