Ever since the Windows multi-platform tablet push windows has had built-in drivers for touch & pen support. For the purpose of drawing, these drivers are actively antagonistic, as they have weird touch macros that make fine detail virtually impossible. And as they are built-in to windows, these drivers are also a pain to override by third-party drivers.

Add that to the complications that already arise from interfacing a 3D (touch sensitivity) precision input device with a computer and you end up with poor official driver support, and even worse community driver support



It's not that hard to turn off any more. But if you don't know about the setting, you will be wondering how anyone can work with a grafics tablet.


What is it called, and how do you turn it off? I haven't run into this issue on Surface devices, but I do have a couple of Wacom tablets too (mainly used on Linux on another machine).
