I just got my new bamboo tablet and I'm having trouble keeping my pen off the active area and not letting it go too far off. Any tip for that or do I just have to get used to it? Also please post general tablet gaming tips, I'll need them xD

Click me!

I think this still applies to the current Intuos tablets from Wacom. ^

DON'T use the mouse mode on the your tablet.

Use the largest area as possible that you find comfortable.

Stick with one area and never change it to build muscle memory.

Don't get frustrated right away because it may take time adjusting to.

Try to keep your pen really close to tablet and eventually you'll get the hang of it. (remember it is better to bump your tablet with pen every once in awhile than lifting to high)

Yeah my tablet is the Wacom Bamboo 450a (I think it's like 3 years old or something xD) and I can't figure out how to change area size so I just changed my cursor sensitivity. Also, I'm using it right handed because I'd rather learn how to use it right handed than learn how to tap right handed and use the tablet left handed.Also I'll try to tap it every once in a while. Thanks for the tips.

Ok, I went to the Click Me and did everything. But now whenever I try to use my tablet and the pen gets close enough, it just goes into a corner and when it comes out it acts like it keeps scrolling onto something. I tried deleting the service but it wouldn't let me. What am I supposed to do? My tablet won't even work on osu!.

EDIT: It works now, for some reason it was in "Pen" mode. :P
