I have such a tablet, seems nice to control Live and works too, but is simply unuseable to get a precise handling with the pen.
It triggers doubleclicks not well enough and moves the mousepointer even when the pen is not in touch with the pad, but some millimeters away from the surface!

Greetings!

It would be nice to have another type of pad though.

Maybe if the pad had a steady location when you tap a surtain spot (ie corner is corner, middle is middle)
It would be easy to draw the locations of clips.
Then instead of using a pen to trigger a clip. you put something on the tip of your finger.

then if somebody just would invent some box with 16 led-lights on it indicating the levels of the tracks in Live you wouldn't need a screen anymore.

SerotoninSteve: I could be wrong, but the cursor moving before the pen hits the screen is actually a feature. It's so that you don't have to use a button to draw, but only touch the screen, yet it moves before that, so you can position it better? I think this can be turned on off, or calibrated differently?

Hoffman2k: the brand new wacom boards have a touch sensitive strip:

why not just get a wacom-screen instead?

Digital paper! I'd sooooo love to try this with Live. All we need now is multiple pens

I tried out the FT-0405-U0B model and there was nothing to adjust or calibrate, but I ´ll look for a driver update and try another time!
I´ll let you know about my result!

yeah, high precision mode is sooo cool, but unfortunately this makes a special wacom-mode neccesary.

They'd have to do custom programming of live to support it, as far as I can tell. But it'd be so awesome.
The new boards have a pressure range of over a thousand, tilt detection and everything. If it worked it'd be like an instant, movable pressure-sensitive joystick! *drool*
