We used to have similar things in the office, mounted in a sliding piece and
with a bigger platform to hold a keyboard. Came from any office supply
house.......if still made.

A couple of things.First, I don't know which Wacom tablet you have, but if you
have the mouse for it, you might try using it on the Wacom with the mouse in
"Pen Mode". This gives it the "Where you put it is where it goes" motion. No
need to keep picking up the fool mouse and resetting it's position. I have the
small size Intuos 4 and use the mouse in pen moce all of the time. It does take
a few adjustments in the Wacom Tablet Properties thing.Second, I have one of
these mounted under my computer table and have the Wacom tablet mounted on
it.<http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAFCO-2103-Articulating-Mouse-Tray-NEW-Never-Used-Ergonomic-Nice-/131238446053?_trksid=p2054897.l4275>This
is the only one I have been able to find today.Don't know if they are still on
the regular market. This one may be the only chance to score one.I do find that
it helps a lot to be able to change the height and tilt a little bit. Don't
think that it would handle a larger size of Wacom tablet. I started with the

on my desktop computer, but I only find this useful/satisfactory for photo
editing, not general navigation. In the 1990s I tried trackballs and touch
pads, and never cared much for them. I have no religious attachment to any
particular company or technology. I do use PCs, not Macs, simply because that's
what I always worked with.>--
