What other controls? Mouse?
You plug it into a USB port, you shouldn't have any problem with other controls nowadays. Well, in theory that is......

Yes, indeed. The pen is wirelss free.

In case of the Wacon, even the tablet can be wireless, with a wireless kit.

It used to clash with all sorts of games and programs and needed constant unplugging. Even now the rudder pedals can do that but yes I am sure they behave better now.

I'd assume most standard computers today have between 6 to 8 USB ports. Also you can unify alot of your USB devices these days or is that just Logitech wireless products?.
My wireless keyboard and mouse use 1 USB port (but alot of batteries ), then i got Logitech 3Dpro and TrackIR, I dont have rudder pedals, So i'm only really using 3 USB ports to flight sim.

The only other USB devices i have plugged into PC are a Charging dock for phone/PS3 pads and a USB Airfreshner. If i was to add Rudder pedals to that i'd hit the 6 USB limit that some computers have as standard. however the airfreshner is a optional device lol.

So taking out the airfreshner and putting a tablet in there permanently would mean we lose some of our control devices, but disabling the tablet in devices should automatic revert back on newer windowed systems or am i wrong. lol

Don't worry i have 10 USB ports so the airfreshner can remained plugged in, So unless it breaks there isn't a chance i'll smell out the forums lol

I used the tablet only occasionally. For such works, we have frontal USB ports.
The tablet is ca. 40 x 60 cm, so it's too big anyway to leave it on the desk always.
Plug in, work, plug out & store in a big enough drawer. Easy.

You are not limited to the USB ports on the PC of course. You can easily plug in a decent 'powered' USB hub or more and have almost as many devices as you like. You can even daisy chain them.
Currently I have way more than 12 USB devices plugged in often. We are wandering somewhat in this thread btw

Yes the wind blew this topic off course . Think its time to buy me a new tablet. I got some idea's for drawings. But thats for another topic sometime.

Wind... - Now, let's see what we can find about the wind over Flanders fields?
