Hint: To create broad brush strokes or to click with a light touch, use a soft tip setting. A soft setting provides a wider range of pressure values with most pressure-sensitive applications. In some applications, a soft pressure setting can make the pen overreact – any small press on the pen is magnified on the screen. If you experience this, try a firmer tip setting.

Note: When customizing your pen, choose those options that match the buttons on the pen you are working with.
