My Review 

After a lot of use it becomes a habit....

I also have a Wacom CTE - 440, which I do not use as much. I prefer the larger tablet for daily use. But I keep the smaller Wacom Tablet available in case of a malfunction of some sort, like the time my desk chair ran over the wire and jerked the plug out of the computer. After installing a new wire, we were back in operation once more. And I do wear a cloth glove on my pen hand so that my hand glides freely over the surface. One false move of the pen and you could lose an ear or some other body part of your photo.

Would you recommend this to a friend?
