I've noticed a problem with my surface pro 3 that I have not been able to work around. When I draw a slow diagonal line, it comes out very wavy and jagged. If I quickly draw a diagonal, it seems ok. Has anyone else seen this, is there a fix for it? seems to happen in every application, so it strikes me as potential hardware.

In a reddit AMA a few months back, they mentioned that they recognized the issue to be the signal from the stylus to be too weak. They said they were working with a higher voltage stylus with a boosted signal, but i haven't heard anything about it since.
Knowing Microsoft very well...the solution for the surface pro 3 fix focus camera is the surface 3 autofocus camera.
The solution for the surface 3 and pro 3 wavy lines is going to be the surface pro 4.

So I am using a Surface Pro 3 - and the issue seems pretty minimal. I use Lazy Nezumi in Photoshop, so for artists it works just fine. The app is a fantastic workaround for the jitter issue, and doesn't post a huge impediment to drawing in the way that I want. And for those that do long, fluid strokes in a drawing app, the speed of the stroke is generally high enough to not fall into the area where jitter happens. That being said, I don't do much hand note writing and never will on this device, so that is not a concern for me.
I'm having this same problem. Hoping and praying for an answer. This Surface is a very expensive piece of equipment that I wish I enjoyed using more.
This is never going to be fixed because is a hardware issue not a software issue. If you see the first post its been almost a year since this issue was discovered. I believe the surface 3 not the Pro have the same issue as well.
