Troubleshooting 🔧
-
OneNote (App) doesn't recognize pen pressure
Reinstall OneNote to fix this issue. -
My eraser does not work in Software x
Some Software don't recognize the sent pen correctly as flipped and therefore do not enable the eraser correctly. I'm still searching for a solution for that issue. -
After switching the monitor with "m" the input gets sent nowhere
Multi-Monitor Support can be flakey, when your primary monitor is not the leftmost monitor with the enumeration "1", since Windows uses a different coordinate system for window positioning and for pointer inputs. You could try setting the monitor you want to send the input to to your primary monitor and then restart PenBridge. -
