Acer W700 capacitive stylus experience

The stylus works great for selecting things, like dragging over text or ticking check boxes. It is not good for writing and drawing: small features are smoothed away by the driver. For example, a string of lower case e's ("eeeeee") comes out as a slightly wiggly line with no loops if you write at a normal size. You have to write quite large (letters 2-3 cm high) to get well-shaped characters. It's quite frustrating, and I haven't been able to tell whether Acer or Microsoft is to blame.

This seems like a pretty stupid limitation -- that stylus works fine writing on my capacitive-touchscreen Android phone, and the manufacturer of the stylus has a video on their website showing its use with an iPad drawing and writing very accurately.  The fact that the stylus is so accurate for tapping and dragging shows that it's not a hardware problem with the touchscreen, so I'm hoping that there's a setting somewhere that can turn off the excessive smoothing.  No progress in finding such a setting yet, unforunately...

What stylus are you using for the W700 wmm? I'm thinking about getting an Adonit Jot Pro for my W700.

I bought the Adonit Jot Classic, which I believe is very similar to the Pro.

I have seen the video about the writing on the iPad, which makes me confident to buy it for my W700 since they both have capacitive touchscreen. However, the result is nowhere as good as the video. I have problems with it.

First, I have to push it hard to the screen until the touch registers. The Classic has neither dampening tip nor spring, so I cant tell exactly the pressure point when the touch registers. But Im sure that the pressure is beyond the my normal writing pressure, even though my writing pressure is already the hardest among my friends. Yes, Ive cleaned the screen.

Second, when I drag something, or draw a line, sometimes the Jot loses its track, leaving interrupted line or accidentally clicking something. This is related to the first point: the softer I push, the more intteruption I get.

Third, the tracking is horrible. I have to write a math equation big enough to fill the width of the screen (landscape mode) so that the ink result is readable.

Fourth, its more a Windows problem than Acer or Jot. In desktop edition of OneNote, whenever I stop the stroke for a little without lifting the ink, Windows reads it as a right-click.

 

So, I wouldnt recommend getting the Jot (especially Classic) for your W700. Ill find whether my Jot or W700 defect, but for the current condition, I wish I didnt buy it.
