I want to experiment with a tablet and pen to replace the mouse. My arm hurts too much with the mouse currently. Anyone have experience with that?

I tried this for a few years in a work environment. Wacom tablet with a OpenSuse box from which I did a whole lot of work in the terminal and via RDP.

It was really nice, however the pen was a bust for me. It ended up being a really large multi-touch/gesture surface and the pen got lost somewhere along the way. Never replaced it and never looked back, other than being a bit bothered that I don't know where it went.

A step before that might be to just switch the mouse to your other hand. It doesn't take too long to get used to.
