Have used it for a couple of days. Most of it is very intuitive and has benefits over a conventional mouse. I’m still working out the less intuitive aspects that I use daily though. For example:

I haven’t effectively figured out the process to select a length of text that I want to copy and paste. I do like it though but not quite sure yet if it will replace my mouse. I’m gonna stick with it until I get the hang of it

so far (3hrs!) am loving it – though i’m having real probles selecting text and dragging it? i can select, but dragging simply increses my selection. i’m sure there’s a logical explaination, but it’s frustrating….

I have the bamboo touch and I like it a lot. I use it dead center in front of me just below my keyboard (like a laptop configuration). I use my right hand to do all the swiping and my left fingers to click on the four buttons. For those that think it’s cumbersome you just gotta give it time to be come second nature. Remember getting used to the mouse? You probably don’t but I bet you weren’t the mouse master you are now when you first tried it. I like it and I am sticking with it. It’s awesome.

You say: “It feels like a good laptop trackpad”. But how is to compared to the newest Macbook Pro pads? Does it have the same kind of glass/texture? If it is I’ll buy it just to avoid pain in my shoulder that I’m getting from using a traditional mouse.

I just bought mine yesterday and had the same problem with how to drag a window. What I remembered from some other similiar device was that I double clicked and on the second click I held down My finger to grab. That didn’t work yesterday but today I got it to work with the Bamboo, so I don’t need to use a button to help.

I bought the Bamboo Touch for doing design work, but now it replaces my old mouse. Partly because my hands are so big, using a tiny little mouse makes my hand cramp up.

But love the Bamboo.

I just got the Bamboo Pen/Touch as well and while I love the look and feel, it isn’t going to be a mouse replacement. My old Graphire included a mouse as well which was nice on the tablet. Now if the Bamboo supported Pen/Touch & Mouse, it would be killer. That would give you the right tools for the right jobs.

yes I use my good old Sapphire as a mouse replacement, my tablet doesn’t even come with buttons.
