Anyone working with tablet like intuos or cintiq, if you run into similar issue I had when selecting control in animation it moves slightly right away, make sure to increase dead space, it will help immensely.

Another quick tip for tablet users: try the alternative xform rotation mode. You can find it under the Animate State Parameters, hitting P when in the state. Then you can do a linear drag away for the handle for rotation instead of imitating the circle movement when rotating. I find it incredibly handy in combination with tablets!

You can also play with the dead zones in the preferences. From the top menu > Edit > Preferences > General User Interface
