Hi Doug: Mine is the 5x3.75 size, and I find it quite comfortable to work with. One advantage is, I think, that you can still accurately select areas quite easily without having to make large movements with the pen. And yes, I have both the mouse and the tablet connected all the time,and use whatever is the most appropriate for the task, quite interchangeably. The only problem I have is that the right-click operation is not reliable, and sometimes the double-click doesn't happen when I want it too - but I think that's me!
