Ah okay. No, sadly you can't use it without the pen. The main usage is indeed for artsy stuff where a pen is required but it can be used as a normal input device. Linux drivers are top notch too
Right? Perfect size, still super portable, easy to build and flash, what's not to love? Do you have a photo of your board? I am constantly looking for new ideas for keycaps etc.
I do sometimes, yes. I have a keybinding to switch the monitor the wacom is bound to. Although I must admit that there is a mouse if I'm too lazy to use the pen

Thanks. I know little about Wacom tablets. Was thinking maybe it could be used as a touchpad with your finger.

Doesn't seem to exist anymore but the Bamboo tablets did work with fingers and stylus.

Nice setup, I too love this board and haven’t had the urge to build anything else for a long time.

Are you using the Wacom as a pointing device?
