Did you know you can control you PS3 with a Wacom tablet and pen?

If anyone wants a more scientific style video I'd be glad to do it but really this is so simple that anyone with a tablet will tell you it works.

I have an 80GB PS3 and an Intuos 3 Tablet for those that are curious or if it for some reason doesn't work on a particular model. I figure it should because I think the PS3 simply recognizes the tablet as a regular mouse.

This is my first video upload ever and I only did one shoot so if the quality sucks or I look like I have a speech impediment bear with me. They will get better.

  • What you need to remember is that nowadays USB is a very generic concept....anything that connects via USB to a USB-equipped machine is capable of working with it. Typical example, an external HDD works with my SKY HD+ box.

  • @medilegal999 Note the date of posting & also the fact that at the time most Wacom devices needed (and I think still do) special drivers to function properly. Since you can't install drivers on your PS3, it's kind of cool that it works well without them.

  • I don't think so because it seems to view the tablet as a generic mouse. It won't load any drivers. Come to think of it, I wonder if my new Intuos4 will work at all. I'll have to try that when I get home.

  • Those speakers he has are the sex.

    We have in the recording studio at school on the Mac Pro.

    They sound amazing.

  • @Mongoman999 Thanks. Yeah man, they are M-Audio Studio Monitors. Music and my PS3 sound soo good on them.

  • Ha :) didtn think that way :) will have to try connect mine tablet to ps3. btw what is that game on 2:03 ?

    Doing graphic designing aswell. Just bought ps3. can U recomend some nice games which can spark on creativity and grow som new ideas?

  • It's actually an Anime called Samurai 7. What kind of art are you into? How are you looking to be inspired? Im sure I can recommend something.

  • I always thought about doing this with mine, just never did, thanks for posting. as for this working in a game, I've seen a video where they used a mouse and keyboard (on PS3) to control Unreal Tournament 3. so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use a wacom in-game, as long as the game supports mouse controls.

  • Would a cintiq 24hd connect to a ps3

  • i'm eager to try mine out with LBP2. It would ROCK the level editor.

  • Would a Wacom Cintiq 21UX work with the PS3?

  • AHH!!! EAR RAPE PINGING (due to high quality speakers 3:>)
