Watching the movement of the tools in the video looks subtly different to the movements I make using a trackpad, trackball or mouse - a lot more controlled and smoother. It's as if they're mechanical or automatic in parts. Is this down to technique or something in the device or driver software?

Watching it again, I wondered if a tablet and stylus was being used.
