Finally, I don't need to drop my drawing tablet pen to use the mouse

Perhaps learn to use a mouse or draw with the other hand. It's rewarding.

With my current two-arm setup I constantly need one hand on the keyboard for shortcuts, and the other one on the mouse or pen tablet. 3D graphics software is punishing like that.

With four hands though, not only I shouldn't waste time putting the pen down to pick the mouse, I'd even get the luxury of holding a cup of coffee in my fourth hand while I work!
