Elephant + Wacom/Any Tablet

📁 Original board: Elephant › Feature Wishlist

Hi there, just wanted to see if this was possible - I would love to use the dial with a Wacom tablet for work. The only problem is once the control is activated when I hover over & turn the dial you would also be battling with the mouse input of the tablet pen held in your other hand. Is there anyway of locking exclusive mouse input to the MS Dial whilst a control is engaged? Then releasing it when the control is released via click?

I would donate & recommend to all my colleagues if this was possible! We've been looking at the nob control but the wait times & the price are less than ideal. Elephant is such an elegant solution so thankyou.

Hello Adam.
Both cases, Elephant and the tablet use mouse events, so the answer is no, there is no way to separate the interaction of tablet from chameleon and viceversa, this same behaviour apply to other solutions similar to Elephant. Using MIDI for use as a dial/scrub is the only way possible of work with the 2 devices at same time, but if you pretend control all what you can control with Elephant mouse mode, there is no way to doit.
