I tried all four devices this weekend in various combinations. For detail work on textures and such in Photoshop the Wacom G III was elegant in its opperation. Amazingly natural tool.

For Poser though I found the MX 510 gaming mouse was the most efficient for my use as my hands shake as a side effect of taking a lot of prescription medication. I found the speed and accuracy of the MX 510 in accessing the dials quickly is an emmense help, indeed a relief.

The track ball mice although dexterious in dual axis adjustments wasn't speedy enough in innitially sellecting the dials and joints I wished to adjust. Again my shaky hands played a big part in this.

In PhotoShop the Wacom is excellent and I like the small work surface as I can access the whole desktop in pen mode very accuratly. Zooming in deep I can elleviate my disability with the tremers. And the sesitivity adjustments are wonderful for subtle transitions once I got the hang of all its adjustments. As for the mouse provided with the G3; it is quite servicable but it pales in comparison to the fluid performace of the Logitech MX510.

I appreciate everyones help here and on other forums. It made this process much easier, and less stressful. Now I have some fun tools/toys to play with.
