Over the weekend I got the i5 128GB version of the Surface Pro 3. It’s taken a few days for me to install my software, apply updates but when I finally had everything updated, I noticed that writing on OneNote wasn’t very accurate when I was zoomed it. It was more obvious when writing towards the left side of the device. A lot worse on the lower left corner. I did a few rounds of calibration and still experienced the same issue. Whenever I hover the stylus over where the start button would be in desktop mode, the pointer would jump, and worse, sometimes go the opposite direction. My husband wasn’t experiencing these issues then I realized he had installed the wintab driver as he was using some pressure sensitive apps that weren’t supporting the Surface Pro 3’s built in pressure detection. After I installed that, I ran the calibration tool again. This time, instead of the 4 points i got 16 points and that made the accuracy of the pen perfect for me. At least it wasn’t awkward to write in one note anymore.
I have to say, the support pages of the Surface are pretty detailed and so far, they’ve been very helpful in resolving common issues I’ve run into so far.
