Surface Pro 3 Wavy diagonal lines when inking

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.

    I'm getting this in my new $3000 surface book 2. Sucks. I bought it primarily for OneNote and tablet experience. Feel like I have the shakes when writing---small, random jags/jitters. Guess I'll be returning it since this has been an issue for years---means Microsoft can't or won't fix it.

    Hi David,

    is it only the "waviness of lines" Problem or lag / latency and distortion of handwriting as well?

    This is so sad for Microsoft. Only innovations but no bug fixing.....

    This is still a problem, with the SP 2017. Identical to the early posts.

    I returned my surface for this same reason. Somewhere I have read Microsoft staff acknowledging that this is an inherent limitation of n-trig capacitive technology.

    So don't expect a fix for this.

    This is a problem that you cant stop noticing since the first time you realize about it. I wish Microsoft would still use Wacom tech, surface would be a wonderful product then and I still would have mine.
