My brother has very kindly just bought me a Wacom Intuos 5 Graphics Tablet !!! I've hardly had the chance to use it yet, but I would imagine that it is going to be fantastic to use with the Course Forge. I've always found drawing with a mouse to be a nightmare in the past, even though I have an art based history, and have spent as much time correcting mistakes as producing the original creations! :lol:

Will it be as good to use a graphics tablet with Course Forge as I imagine?

Has a tablet already been used with Course Forge by Mike or others, or has everything just been produced using a mouse?

I have a Wacom myself (intuos4) - I can use the pen as a substitute for every app I open (not that I do, but I could) and can even create special settings for the apps I use. I don't think that will be a problem and I, too, plan to use a tablet for the CF.

Yes confirming that tablets work with Courseforge. I'm a mouse guy but others have used tablets with no issues.

I used my tablet just now without a problem. To work with the interface and click on buttons a mouse is better, but I find that applying terrain tools and drawing outlines are easier with a pen. If you are working inside the Viewer window, press the space bar to get into full screen mode.

I've always felt more comfortable with mouse-in-hand, but it's good to know that tablets will be supported for the more artistic types.
