Keys on a graphics tablet - how necessary are they for work?

Question

Graphics tablet

I choose the first graphics tablet. I did not want to bother too much, I planned to take the initial budget model of Wacom (as the most famous manufacturer). But there was a question about the presence / absence of keys. For some reason, almost no attention is paid to this in reviews and articles.

How useful / useless in the work are there built-in buttons (Express Keys)? How often do you have to use them and is it worth overpaying a couple of thousand for a more expensive model with their presence?

don't you have a Mac?

Answer 2

If you work on a small digitizer, say with your right hand, and additionally control it on the keyboard (move the canvas, for example), then the buttons are not really needed. But if you have a large enough digitizer, or it has buttons that allow you to rotate the canvas, move, zoom, then you understand how convenient it is.
I'll dig which one I have, I don't remember the model. Here → Trust TB-7300.

Answer 3

Never used. I didn’t use the wheel either - very unpleasant plastic to the touch.
