Setup Guides
How to test pressure sensitivity
- Open your graphics application
- Select a pressure-sensitive brush
- Draw with varying pen pressure
- Line thickness should change based on pressure
If pressure doesn’t change the line, open the free pen tester in Chrome or Edge on the same computer. If pressure shows there, your tablet connection works and the app’s pen settings need attention. If it doesn’t, check the tablet app’s input mode first.
