Calibration
After quite a few tests, my experience:
The WACOM Feel Driver kills it for me.
There's a tip in the XDA forum, how to use the enhanced calibrations, even though the Feel Driver is installed. I can't make that work.
With Feel driver installed, it's way more off than without.
With the Feel driver, 1cm from the left it's getting off and more and more so the closer I get to the bezel. And the upper left corner is totally off, more than 5mm.
Without Feel driver, I use the 130 points calibration from the XDA forum. Then it's okay. In the upper left corner it's about 1mm off, which is acceptable. The rest is more or less flawless, even the left 1cm that's so much off with the Feel Driver installed.
One flaw remains, though: Calibration only works in landscape mode. There's no separate mode for portrait format. In portrait, all is off about 2mm, which is too much for my needs. So I have to stick to landscape. In general, that's okay. More convenient to hold the tablet anyway. But it still annoys me and I'll opt for tablets without WACOM stylus the next time. I'd rather have no stylus, than such an inaccurate concept.
Interesting enough: The WACOM stylus on my Dell Latitude 10 is slightly more accurate than the ones on Microsoft Surface Pro. I've got 3 Surface Pros, so it can't be an isolated issue. Some say, it's the keyboard. Others say, it's the battery. Whatever it may be, there seem to be differences with WACOM precision on the different brands. But even the more precise one on Dell Latitude 10 is far from perfect...
