I usually use my intuous 4 with my laptop as a mouse as well as when I work in photoshop and illustrator. My question is, (and I'm curious if I'm the only one) how many of you use the button on the pen as a left-click or just prefer to tap the pen to the tablet as a left click?

I've never gotton used to tapping the pen down as a left click (although ironically I can paint with ease that way) but I prefer to hover over and click away.

Hi, I usually prefer to just tap the pen on the tablet. For some reason I have always found the button on the pen is a little awkward . I really enjoy my Intuos 4.

I use the top switch as right click (but use Ctrl most of the time, as my left hand is at the keyboard anyhow), tap to click always. Otherwise you don't have pressure sensitivity in PS when brushing. Which kinda is the whole point of the tablet ;)
