I have been using a pen mouse for 2 years and wholeheartedly recommend it.
In terms of work output/quality vs time it has been fantastic.
It does take some getting used to, but once you're there you won't go back.
The pen also doubles as a mouse and can help people that suffer from carpel tunnel get a little relief if they need to use a mouse in a repetitive way several times a day.
Graphic creation software requires a more detailed and sensitive operation than a mouse can provide.
A mouse pen and digital pad combined with graphics creation software allows the user to create hand drawn illustrations and also edit graphics quickly with precision.

Well, for me, i use more the touch pad instead of the physical mouse, it's more efficient and fast for me than holding another object and clicking endlessly.....
However, i've recently tried the pen mouse, and it's great, but i still need to get used to it more.
Personally i believe, for a designer, a pen mouse would be more flexible and faster.

Hello Amit, There has been times where I used to design simple stuff and always used a mouse.
I have seen some people using the pen and they have more control.
However, I do not design anymore so I was just wondering what is better.
I would like to hear designer's opinion, maybe you can invite your friends and answer this question? Thanks!

it depends on the design if you are going to draw something or using brush i prefer to use pen mouse and if you are going to use another tools like selection i prefer mouse

Using pen mouse is very good and it's very easy to work with than mouse.designing need concentration and proper work.

For me Its combination of Mouse and Pen Mouse  , Pen mouse is good for sketching/Drawing, i would use pen mouse for Adobe Products, like illustrator etc. Wacom Tablets are one of the leading brand in this technology.
