That little buttom on my wacom pen is as irritating as hell! My finger keeps hitting it or it gets in the way some how. It's dahm uncomfortable! I never use it. I prefere to switch to the mouse instead for right clicking. Are there any pens that dont have this button? Or can you open up the pen and take the irritating little blighter out? Also how the hell do you change the nib?? I lost the instructions

cheers!

1) I normally just rotate the pen in my grip so that the button is out of the way, sort of facing "upward". Actually the way I grip the pen is fairly close to the end at the point where it flairs just before the contour for the nib.

"It's not a question of where 'e grips it - it's a question of weight to mass ratio"

2) I use pliers and just tug the nib straight out then lock and load a new one.

I also rotate my hand, though I can still feel that button and it always gets in the way everytime i pick up my pen. It also rattles real bad. To see what I mean, turn the pen upside down and get a feel of using it like that. Alot more comfortable rather then spinning it around in your hand to avoid touching the button. My pen has a groove in the middle. The pen is in two halves. Has anyone ever opened it up? I'm scared I'll break the darn thing!

They do sell pens that don't have them. And you can also tear off the purple plastic button if its too much of an annoyance.

I would just adapt to it if I were you. Needs getting used to, as does the tablet.

You might be able to disable the secondary button in the wacom control panel. It won't help the rattling, but at least accidentally clicking it won't be such a big deal.

Thanks everyone. I just stuck a piece of black tape around it! I think I may opt for buying the buttonless pen, if it isn't too pricey that is.
