Wacom 4 wireless

[Peter Wassink]

have you noticed that you can adjust the speed of each individual control in the Touch Ring tab of the Wacom software?

yes. but it doesn't help.
do your ring wheel give you instant feedback to your finger?
can you use it like a flip book (meaning you can preview the animation slow and FAST)?

tactile feedback is vital for good flipping. I once bought the powermate especially for the purpose of flipping, it has a lovely heavy aluminum dial but it lacked feedback which made it useless,(i now use it for project rotation which works fine because of the obvious visual feedback)
In the same way the Intuos 4 ring is quite useless for flipping.
Best would be a mechanical ring with clicks but who knows maybe just a subtle clicking sound indicating at what speed the ring is interpreting you finger action would do the trick. something Like the iphone keyboard.

Well, I have to say that I use my Shuttle Pro 2 more than any other device for flipping in both Vegas and TVP. it lets you feel subtle little bumps between images and does all the stuff Asaf was asking about -- speeds up and down and feels very natural. Sometimes I use the Touch Ring in TVP for its convenience of reach and the speed seems to be right when you flip between just a few frames. But if you're not careful it can run out of control, which doesn't happen as much and as drastically with the Shuttle. I do remember thinking the buttons a little heavy to the touch as well, but since I use them constantly as I draw, I got quickly adjusted to their touch and have no problems with that part at all.

One day I hope to get some kind of shuttle.
At the moment I have decided to try to get used to the intuos4 buttons. the nearest 4 are more under the finger and can be applied more force, more readily.
I remebered one more downside compared to intuos3: when the nib of the pen on the intuos4 is pressed in it seem to have ever so slight freedom, in which no response is made on the screen. it's a fraction of a millimeter that my hand seems to notice, and i don't remember this in the inuos3.

I can't quite follow what you are describing, but the feel of the pen and the better control over its pressure is what I cherish the most in 4. The uper buttons I use for the tasks I use less often, such as opening the key command panel or flipping the picture horizontally and vertically, which frees my keys for more used commands.
