This Tool Will Replace Your Mouse
You need to get one if you haven’t already
I spend around 50% of my time in front of my laptop. The other 50% is used for eating and sleeping. Now I know it’s not the healthiest lifestyle, but hey, this isn’t a health blog! Since most of the work I do is digital content creation, most of the time on my laptop is spent using Photoshop and other creative applications.
This of course means that, at least for me, using a mouse is simply not possible. I mean, just imagine trying to draw something with a mouse — the best you’re going to get is some weird-looking scribbles and crooked lines here and there!
So what’s the solution?
Enter: The Graphics Tablet
For those who work in the creative industry, they’d already know what this is, but for those who don’t here is the basic gist of the device:
Essentially, a graphics tablet is a pad about the same size as a laptop screen that comes with a pen-like stylus allowing you to write and draw on it as you would on a piece of paper!
The surface of the pad is made of a special plastic that mimics the feel of a smooth sheet of paper and the pen is designed to be pressure sensitive, letting you produce thicker strokes by pressing harder!
