It's easy to describe:
When the stylus nears the screen, a dot appears on the display as soon as the stylus is about 1.5cm from the display.
From that moment on, palm rejection starts, so you conveniently can rest your hand on the display while taking notes.
If you use OneNote, Bamboo Page (from WACOM themselves) and similar apps that allow for backgrounds with rule lines or even grid lines, you perfectly can track the accuracy of your stylus:
You aim for a grid point with your stylus: Does the tip align with the dot?
That's way more tricky than one might think at first glance.
When using the Surface Pro in landscape mode, it's about 27cm wide.
Obviously, over such a width you change your viewing angle and holding position.
Same is true for the first or the last line of the very same page.
Therefor you can calibrate your stylus. Some hold it in a 45 degree angle, others hold it more perpendicularly.
My problem simply is: I perfectly can calibrate my unit for the middle section and the right part. And for the entire height, from first to last line. But the left part is off, no matter what I try.
("Off" meaning, the tip of the stylus and the projected dot on the display don't align).
It slowly starts in the middle, but nothing serious. But the last centimeter from the left bezel gets off enormously. It's not a slow progression, but kind of a sudden "jump". Basically, from one pixel to the next it gets off about 1mm. And in the upper left corner, starting as well about 1 centimeter from the top, it gets off even more, about 2mm.
1mm or 2mm might not seem much. But if you use grid lines, its extremely obvious. And if I imagine, that WACOM is used by artists for graphical tablets, this can't be the rule.
Some say, that's quite normal for WACOM. And it's not really a showstopper, I can start my notes 1cm from the left and from the top.
Still....it annoys me a bit...
And the WACOM Feel driver (which allows for more pressure sensitivity) makes it even worse, then the offset without calibration is in the range of 3mm. Even calibration doesn't generate the same results as before without the Feel driver.
