Note to self: If your cursor behaves funny, simply change the battery in your pen cuz that's the cause in 99.9% of all cases.

Wait, I have an idea...



Maybe one or two are interested in this weird alternative way of operating a pc. So I took a pic of the tablet with the pen lying on it.



I have a mouse as well but it's very slow and I don't quite understand what it's for. So, to move the cursor, I simply hover half an inch above the tablet. A single left click is done by tapping the pen's tip onto the tablet surface. Okay, that's all very nice, you might say. But how do you do things like double- and right-clicking? Well, maybe you see the blue, long-ish button thingy on the pen's side? It is actually divided into two parts. The lower one is used for right-clicking and the upper one for double-clicking. When I hold the pen like I'm going to write something, it's really easy to press those buttons using my thumb.
Okay, the whole thing is radically different from operating a normal mouse, but after a bit of practising (I recommend Solitaire ^o^) you notice that it has various advantages. It's a lot more exact (you won't believe how easy it becomes to hit a single pixel XD) and damn fast. This comes in handy when you need to copy and paste a lot of things in a very short time, for example when queueing files in an IRC fileserver.
Anywho. I love my tablet and I'm happy that it still works after so many years, even though I dropped the pen to the floor more than once °_°
