Surface Pro 4 - Need to push hard for pen to work

Hello, all. I'm trying out the Demo version of Krita Gemini (which I suppose is limited to only Krita Sketch?). Anyway, I fixed the lack of pressure/sensitivity recognition by installing the drivers (including Wintab) as suggested in the FAQ, but an issue that remains is that lightly touching the pen to the screen is not enough for a mark to be made. It seems like Krita doesn't "think" the pen is touching the screen, but thinks it is only close to it. Because I can see the cursor, but no mark is made.

I can only draw by pressing quite hard with the pen on the screen. And even then, lines are spotty as Krita seems to "think" the pen is being lifted from the screen when it isn't. I don't know if this is what's happening. The pen configuration for Windows 10 allows for smooth drawing, and while Fresh Paint has a tiny bit of the same spottiness that the Krita Demo does, it's not nearly as bad.

Anyone got tips?

Thanks!

You can tweak either the global pressure curve with the surface tools, or the curve krita uses itself. You can also check what the current desktop version does, which you can download from krita.org.
