Paul It comes with a mouse and pen. So my pen sits in the cradle provided and my mouse sits on the tablet. When I start a retouching session I push the mouse off the active area of the tablet and pick up the pen. The pen can just lie on the tablet when not in use if you like but the mouse and pen are mutually exclusive ie can't be used at the same time. So for general use my mouse is there when I want it. Exactly the same as using a mouse and mouse pad. Steve > From: "Paul D.
