No matter what settings you choose, using a tablet feels weird and slo= w and awkward for a week or two, but once you've used it for a while, y= ou will become much more natural and speedy.

Although I find the pen and tablet way more natural than the mou= se, you can still get repetitive stress injuries, because if you tablet ful= l-time, you'll still have repetitive stresses!

Good luck= ,
