I have to press the pen relatively hard against the screen of my Ipad Mini for it to work... Anyone else have this problem?

The styli we use on these types of devices are capacitance styli. They complete an electrical circuit between your hand,the screen and the device. Screen protectors act as an insulator and either break the circuit completely or make it harder to complete reducing the effectiveness of the stylus through no fault of the stylus. The best circuit you can attain would be without screen protector and your hand in direct contact with the device. Fact is screen protectors really are not needed anyway since glass is hard to scratch. Check old house windows and car windows that have been through storm after storm. Besides most touch screen portable devices have specially hardened glass to boot. The styli we use on these types of devices are capacitance styli.

Neither my wife nor I have had any issues with touch sensitivity on either iPhone or iPad.

I have found that a very light touch will do on my iPad if the stylus pen is tapped up and down perpendicular to the glass rather than angled and pushed hard. I have a protective film on my glass.

Have not had that problem. I have found that if I press to hard, it tends not to work at all. Sometimes with a lighter press it works better for me. Also - if you have a protective screen on your Ipad, that could make a difference. I have a Kindle HD and I have found that it is a little different now that I put a protective screen on it.

I've used it for almost every other type of smart device and I haven't had that problem. One issue may be the screen protector you have, or maybe the iPad mini isn't supportive of the stylus

Only when moving a game piece from one location to another. I find it to sensitive most of the time and want to complain about it working too good some of us are never happy...Lol

Mine works okay. There are occasions when it appears to be unresponsive - when that happens, unplug it from the iPad, hit the home button on the iPad, and then plug the keyboard back in. That resolves the problem.

First is your iPad mini Bluetooth function on? If so then turn on your keyboard and try to connect. If it still doesn't work you may have to charge the keyboard. If all else fails it's possible that the keyboard could be defective.

I have a pen with a special soft point on the back end that I use as a stylus, but I usually use my finger. I may not be answering your question because I do not really use the tablet for much more than reading and podcasts.

Sorry for the delay, Graeme. It's been a busy few days around here. No - there is NO clicking when I write with my pen - I just double-checked, using Bamboo paper in journal mode. Contact Wacom - they can help you, or replace your pen

Make sure you have the 2 parts of the pen tightly pressed together. If they are, the battery shouldn't move to lose contact. But then again, it is a bit like a flashlight and if you drop a flashlight a couple of times it won't work all the time either. :-)

I had some issues with the stylus that led to some difficulties with the screen. That may be the source of your troubles.

Me too. Sometimes giving the offending key a quick jab works, sometimes GENTLY flexing the keyboard, sometimes flipping the on/off switch... but sometimes nothing works and then I just have to force my tablet off and on again :( Sorry. I hope someone else (like the manufacturer!) has a real answer.

I havent personally tried. But I have used my finger which would apply just as much pressure. So I think it's safe to say a stylus will work just fine.

I have some problem, when I touch a letter, it writes many times the letter. aaaa, bbb, even when the Stylus is far the letter. I thought could be my phone but, when I read your question, it came to my mind, that it could be the new Stylus.

I don't sell stuff but I have bought that itam. Make sure the black rubber part is fully around your iPad the right way. Then when you push the back piece on all of the edges need to be fully pushed into the rubber to where you don't feel the edges of the plastic it should stay of this is done right. Also again make sure everything is lined up right.

the screen activates just getting close to it with hands. I always made a little pressure when touching the incons on the screen; I'm not sure if they work just touching w/o pressure. I check tomorrow and will let u know.

I'm going to answer my own question with the reply from Wacom via email on May 7, 2014:Thanks for writing in. Great question; there have been issues with the cursor being offset from the pen. I'm not sure what causes that, but there is not a way to correct it. I would suggest taking your tablet into a Best Buy and testing the pen there before you purchase it.

Yes! I have a screen protector on my mini and the stylus works great with it. Protector screens do cause the stylus to make a bit more noise while using it I've noticed, but functionality is not affected.

I have to say I'm not experiencing the same problem. in fact I see my mini blanking out as I close the case. as far as battery life - I can't believe how long my battery lasts - certainly a big improvement from my Ipad. as far as the case turning the mini on and off it could be the way it is sitting in your purse. try putting it in with the opening to the bottom - that way it probably won't open so often. worth a shot. personally I really like this case - it is sturdy.

I have never had a problem with that even when the ipad is in my purse. Is the magnetic part (that connects the keyboard to the ipad when closed) working? When you close it, just make sure the Home key is on the right. Other than that, I'm not sure what the problem might be.

I like that it is tight when trying to open it in comparison to other products I've tested were my iPad has come opened and or flew away. Here's what works for me. I take my thumb and nail and place it next to latch to push up on iPad and rest of fingers and nails to push down on keyboard part. Let me know if that helps.
