Maya and tablet?

Does anybody here use Maya with a tablet? Or is better just to stick to a mouse? I tend to get quite bad rsi from mousing about in Maya...

How easy is the navigation with a pen and the Ctrl/Alt/Shift keys?

I have to use both as I cannot use the pen alone. I am too used to the mouse and mouse wheel.

I have seen people that are very comfortable going 100% pen tablet though. I , unfortunately, am not one of them.

Only use a mouse at the moment. I'm going to borrow an older A4 wacom from a work mate next week to try it out.

Is that 2 grand US ct??? cos that would be 3.5 in Aussie, bloody hell!!!! I could get the latest Maya for that! My mate bought a cheap wacom for $350 AUS for his Photoshop stuff and he loves it.

I want to get one for render/texture/painting purposes, as the mouse is too complicated etc and I think you would have more freedom.

Mayaniac has done some wicked sculpting work, I think that would be tablet orientated??? it would certainly be easier for organic manipulation as anatomical stuff has lines but they are much softer than mechs.
