Re wacom: I've tried playing L4D with my intuos 4 for fun. It should be absolutely great for making videos because you can make ridiculously smooth pans but fast arm movements of 20+cm build up so much inertial force that serious game play is pretty much impossible.
So no. For the price of several hundred bucks, they really aren't good gaming peripherals.

So no. For the price of several hundred bucks, they really aren't good gaming peripherals. Interesting. I use the Wacom Intuos4 as well although my tablet's pen area a little less than 11 inches so I don't move around as much. Of course it might not be practical for shooters, but it's pretty nifty to have for Eve Online.  It indeed is.
I've only tried absolute positioning with L4D. The game felt like using a huge analog stick basically. Great for smooth and fine/tiny movements but once you try to make a quick 180 you're essentially flailing your arm around to get to the edge and back to the center of the tablet in splitseconds.

Yes and it may take a while, always set up the buttons to suit you and get an 18 button gaming mouse. I only have to use the keyboard for walking/strafing. I disagree. These 18 button atrocities are called "MMO" mice for a reason. There's no real need for one as an FPS player unless you have a fetish for mapping every weapon and trivial action to the mouse (which there's no need to). I'd even go as far and say that the extra buttons are a distraction when you want to get into m/kb at first.
OP, keep it simple before you are well accustomed with the device and understand your preferences. Also don't let yourself talked into buying some $100+ "gaming" mouse . Any average rodent for half of that (or less) will work just fine and it will take a long time before you can appreciate the "features" of the high end stuff.

TechMechMeds wrote:Nice assumption as well BTW. Been playing fps since they came out, literally. So I was right that you do have substantial experience and know your preferences very well. 
What we're talking about is preference here of course and I wasn't trying to attack yours. I'm just saying that many people get along without the extra buttons very well and that simple 6-8 button mice a have lower learning curve attached to them.
TechMechMeds wrote:And the mouse was -ú39.99. I wasn't referring to your advice but to the manufacturers who, for example, advertise 7200dpi mice as necessary investments when in reality pretty much all users settle with 1000-3000dpi (FPS pros go down to 400 sometimes). As with all gaming products, there's a lot of voodoo going on in their advertisements and one can save hard cash by not "buying" it. Literally.
