Surface Pro 3 Wavy diagonal lines when inking

Hello Twork

If you were familiar with the matter you would have known that this was a quote from the last and only (correct me if I am wrong) statement that MS has made according to this Issue. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/31c0tu/we\_are\_panos\_panay\_and\_the\_surface\_team\_at/cq082iu

If Panos only knew about this issue but apparently they block him on this community and they must hand him demo units with working components so he will never experience any of the faults...

sad story but even more justification for apple and Wacom then....

thanks for letting s know.

Is Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 the only win tablet to fulfill a basic pen functionality with speed independent behavior?

This question also goes to the whole community..

From non windows devices I understand that also iPad pro pen is best in class and here it comes: a year ago I had the chance to try out a friends (three years?) old Samsung galaxy Note -- perfectly straight diagonal lines slow and fast.

also Nintendo DS lets you draw like one would expect...

what is really happening here is still a riddle to me...

Guys - this is a DEFINITE issue with the technology used on all SP3 and above devices, including the new Surface Book devices. I sold mine and got a Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 - the difference is night and day. I get that not everyone needs this to function as an art/drawing device like I do, but IMO this flaw is disqualifying. Try the iPad pro or a Wacom device.

Hi everybody,

I have exactly the same problem: wavy lines when drawing. And I thank you, @t-work, for your clear statement! It cannot be that a premium device like the SP3... sorry... I mean a device like the SP3 with a premium price (!) of around 1700 EUR (that was the price 1 years ago) that cannot draw streight lines. There might be technical reasons for that but I don't care about that.

I have the feeling that the problem got worse in the last months. I have to say that I am using a new pen with new batteries and tried it with OneNote 2016, Photoshop CC 2015... all on Windows 10 with all Updates: all the same. Even normal Handwriting looks a little ugly here and there. When I compare it with results from back when I bought it, it seems to be worse now.

Hopefully you, @Microsoft, can do something. Right now I don't feel like bying a Surface (Book) again.

Regards

Hey MasCaritas,

sorry, but your answer is ridicules.

Don't tell this happens in a "very specific instance" - this is untrue.

This happens *all the time* when you do slow strokes like when you are writing slowly, drawing slowly, when you try to hit tiny things like drawers and window resize borders, when you try to exactly trace something etc.

People SHOW it to MS in a specific way so it is that obvious, not even Microsoft can claim it is not there.

But it is people like you that drives MS friends like me away from this community and in the end away from MS. Giving canned answers that *completely* miss the OTs issue is one part (not yours), telling people their problem is not as big as they feel it every single day is another one.

If I did my job as a Sysadmin like that I could have gone home a decade ago.

It is nice that some employees at MS are working on it - if your information is right - but if they look at the problem like you do there will be no fix.

sorry to be a bit harsh atm but there are just too many answers like that.
