Even though there's subjectivity involved in choosing a tablet or mouse, there are some objective benefits of a tablet over a mouse: A tablet can be for anyone who wants to interface with the computer in a more natural, pencil-and-paper kind of way. So we're not really talking about a right or wrong here. I've also known modelers who use a mouse exclusively. Having said that, I've known riggers and animators who use a tablet exclusively.

For other disciplines like rigging, animation, dynamics, and compositing, a digital tablet isn't as much of a necessity. In fact, for those I would say a tablet is necessary. Tablets are most useful for certain disciplines: Digital painting, 3D modeling, 3D sculpting, and texture painting are the obvious candidates for a tablet. And depending on your interests, a tablet can be a luxury or a necessity.

Tablet vs Mouse New digital artists often ask the question, 'Why get a tablet when I have a mouse?' Perhaps tablets give the impression of being a luxury rather than a necessity.
