No social media site can exist without a section dedicated to trackballs, the arguably superior input method.

The previous communities went stale, so here is my take on it. Looking forward to welcoming the tens of people interested in this topic!

      Mouse for…graphics

      If you’re doing freehand drawing — which I rarely do, but obviously many graphic artists care a lot about — a stylus and tablet really beats the pants off a mouse. Try to sign your name with a mouse and a tablet in a graphics program, and it really drives home the difference.

      That’s before one even gets to graphics programs being able to use tilt- and pressure-sensitive stylus inputs to affect brushstrokes.

        Agreed, for 2D graphics a tablet is the optimal choice. Most 3D suites are really optimized for mouse and keyboard, though.
