I got an entry-level Wacom tablet as an early birthday present. As I was forewarned, it takes a little bit of getting used to.

One of the tips I was given on how to get used to it is to ditch my mouse (trackball, in my case) and just use the tablet as my day-to-day pointing device. The only problem with this strategy is that, outside of when I'm actually drawing, probably 90% of my computer use is keyboard-driven (including the browser (qutebrowser) that I'm using right now).
