Tips:

Use a soft TIP FEEL for 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 FEEL setting.

To make double-clicking easier, expand the tap area that accepts a double-click (the double-click distance).

A large double-click distance may cause a delay at the beginning of brush strokes in some graphics applications. If you notice such effects, try setting a smaller double-click distance and using the side switch to double-click.
