Pen taps registering as double clicks

Anonymous

I installed a pending driver update on my SP4 yesterday and the anniversary update today. Now tapping with the pen registers as a double-click about 10% of the time, which makes pen input pretty much useless. The usual calibration options and settings in Settings, Control Panel and the Surface app didn't have any effect on this. I tried manually installing the latest SP4 drivers (8/3) but that didn't change anything, either.

This is also noticeable when drawing a continuous line. The The pen is suddenly detected as not pressed, and immediately again as pressed.

Hey everyone,

I was like everybody, ever since I got my Surface Pro 4 my pen always randomly double-click while I tried to use touch keyboard.

So after I tried to search through all the forums and reddit. I stumbled into this site:

http://www.lovemysurface.net/remap-the-surface-pen-button/

Basically it lets you re-calibrate your pen.

-Simply type "calibrate" into your search bar and choose "calibrate the screen for pen or touch input".

-Choose "Setup" to first reset your pen by clicking the screen when prompt one time, then press enter after that to return.

-Choose "Calibrate" and then "Pen input".

-Use the pen to tap on the cross-hair point at the corner of your screen (It's kinda hard to find, but just follow the line and you'll see them eventually.

-After you are done, choose "Save"

This basically solve the problem for me, so I hope this help the others who are looking for a solution as well :)

The service request was closed around 10/05/16 stating that "Engineering Team has successfully replicated the issue, and is now working towards a fix to be implemented through a future update".

Can you tell us when to expect the solution?

Hi Joseph,

Yes, the problem persist even though all updates were installed. ![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/41926028-f17e-46e3-a7aa-f8d9a1cc4366?platform=QnA)

Hi,

I also have this problem. Core M3 version, batch 1641 (sold in Poland). Some taps with the pen are registered as double clicks, resulting in double on-screen keyboard inputs or double inputs on other screen controls. Drawing with the pen in Onenote seems fine though.

I exchanged the first surface I got for a new one because of this problem, only to get the new one (also from this batch 1641) behave exactly the same way...
